Hey guys, 65 here back with Chapter 11 of Super Louds! Since I'm back in school, I'm gonna try and update this story as often as possible, but we'll see how it goes. Anyway, this chapter is the beginning of the final parts of the story. I wanna give a huge shoutout to everyone who has just given this story any of their attention. It really means a lot to me that you guys have been enjoying it so much! Of course, I have some review responses before we begin.
REVIEWS
TheLynnster - Yeah, I wanted to focus on one story starting out on this site. So, adding another one really messed up my algorithm. I'm just glad I pulled it early. As for school, eh, you can't really do much about it. (I'm just glad this is my last year :D)
Ine Neko - Yeah I guess something else could've convinced them to become superheroes, but that's just the idea I had initially after revamping the story. Actually, the story was going to be much different after Chapter 7, but I changed it to follow a new direction. I can understand how the first few chapters would be boring, but this is my first story on FanFiction, so I'm striving to get better with each chapter. But I'm glad you're still enjoying the story. Oh and learning a second language isn't easy, but just be patient, you'll get it!
ironlegion - I gave him electric powers mostly because of my original ideas of powers for the Louds. Lincoln had electric powers from the very start of planning this story. I wasn't going to say this now but, there will be a continuation of the Loud family's superhero adventures, after this story is finished. So yeah, you can consider this the origin. It just feels right to me that the whole family are superheroes. I think the main theme of the Loud House is family, so I really want to convey that in this fanfic.
Awesome reviews! Thanks for these guys, I really appreciate each one! And now, it's time for the chapter! Reviews and constructive criticism welcome!

Chapter 11: Fates Revealed
Lincoln Loud woke up to light shining in through a window. He was confused, but then thought that maybe he had just had a dream. However, he realized that wasn't the case when his vision sharpened and revealed his surroundings. He saw conveyor belts, machines and very quickly it was becoming apparent that this was not his bedroom. He started to move, but then realized he was pinned. Each of his limbs were fastened into metal rods that were connected to some sort of machine. He didn't know what it was, but it didn't look good. He needed to get out of there. He struggled to break free, but to no avail.
"Don't bother kid." said the leader.
"*grunts* Who are you and what do you want?!" asked Lincoln frustrated.
"Who am I? That's the whole point. I'm nobody to Royal Woods, but that's about to change with your help." said the leader.
"What are you talking about?" asked Lincoln confused.
"You see, I used to be a student at Royal Woods University. I was one of the school's top students." said the leader.
"Then how'd you end up being a criminal?" asked Lincoln curious.
"Hey hey hey, this is my story! No rushing me! So anyway, me and some other students had been working on a way to supply constant power to the town. I had proposed the idea of using protactinium, but they shot my idea down cause of possible "severe radiation burns"." said the leader.
"So what happened?" asked Lincoln.
"Ehh...I dropped out. Then, after a few days I was gonna get revenge on the school, but then I thought: 'Instead of just the school, how about the whole of Royal Woods!' Haha! Then they'd never forget the name of...Jack! Jack. That, that sounds alright right?" said Jack.
"Really? Jack? That's the lamest villain name I've ever heard." said Lincoln.
"See I'm not a villain. I'm a mastermind! I want the public to fear me! So I'm not gonna choose a stupid name like Count Darkness or something. I want them to see me as a public enemy! And they definitely will once my plan is revealed..." said Jack.
"Well what is your plan man?" asked Lincoln trying to struggle free once more.
"So uh, those blue stones you caught us with? Yeah, they're modified protactinium crystals. We adapted them to withstand high amounts of electricity, which puts the rock under pressure. But you know everything has a limit right? Haha. The chips that the crystals are placed in will supply 'em with power once I activate 'em. Those crystals are already bursting with electricity, so adding more creates what is essentially an EMP. A bomb! Royal Woods will comply with my demands or this town will become a desolate wasteland! Hahahaha!" said Jack with a sinister tone.
"I knew it! You can't do this dude! Royal Woods needs electricity!" pleaded Lincoln.
"Oh yeah? I wanted to give them electricity, but they shut me down! Now, we'll see who gets shut off. Hahaha! Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get ready for my broadcast." said Jack, exiting the room.
"Broadcast?! Wait! Where are you going?! Stop! STOP!" exclaimed Lincoln to no avail.
Lincoln really felt helpless. Jack had left him there, trapped, and he couldn't escape. He tried to slip away using his electricity, but something inside the metal rods was blocking him from escaping. He was really stuck. He had now wished that he had listened to Clyde, his family even. But he really wanted to do this. He really wanted to be a superhero, but it really was a dangerous lifestyle. He wondered if anyone went looking for him in Royal Woods. He wondered if his family even knew he was gone.
From the previous afternoon since Lincoln disappeared, Lisa Loud had been in her lab designing her family's superhero gadgets. She had taken their "control devices" and modified them, so that they could use their powers to their fullest potential. She knew that they would probably be overwhelmed with their powers since they had never used them, except on accident, but they had no time to train, they had to find Lincoln quickly. The school had filled out a missing person's report, with help from the family, and the police had interviewed the Loud's parents, and had flooded the school searching for clues. School had been temporarily canceled for investigation, but police were having no luck finding any evidence. Lisa knew they weren't going to find anything worthwhile. They weren't dealing with average criminals. Lisa Loud was now ready to unveil her family's super gadgets. They were Royal Woods' last hope.
"Family! May I have your attention?" exclaimed Lisa, as she began the Louds' first ever superhero meeting in their living room.
"Are you finished with the gadgets?" asked Lynn eagerly.
"Yes, and before I relay them to you, I must warn you. These gadgets will not hold our powers back at all. We will have full control of them. So, I just want everyone to be careful, and don't try anything too outrageous." said Lisa.
"Don't worry Lisa, we will take the risk. To save my son." said Lynn Sr.
"Yeah! And our brother!" exclaimed Lola.
"Don't worry kids. We'll find him. Okay Lisa, you can hand out the gadgets." said Rita.
"Of course." said Lisa.
Lisa then started handing out the gadgets. Lori's "compass-watch" was now made to adapt to whatever direction Lori wanted the wind to blow from. The changes to Luna's boots stayed the same, but she could now make her shock waves through her new sound resistant guitar. Luan's light refractors were only tweaked to temporarily disable her powers in case she got too angry and volatile. Lynn's strength braces were slackened a bit to allow Lynn to fight in a mildly harmful power range. However, if Lynn ever took her braces off, her true devastating power would be unleashed. The temperature gauge in Lola and Lana's temperature regulators (gloves), now adapted to how hot or cold Lola and Lana wanted their projectiles to be. The only Louds that didn't seem to require a gadget were Leni, Lucy, Lily, their parents, and of course Lisa herself. She figured there'd be time for inventing later, now they were ready to fight crime.
"WAIT!" exclaimed Leni.
"What is it Leni?" asked Lori.
"We can't fight crime without superhero outfits! Look! I made one for each of us!" said Leni as she handed out the outfits.
"Wow! This is cool! Mine has snowflakes on it!" exclaimed Lana.
"I'm gonna be on fire with this suit!" gushed Lola.
"Anything with black is always awesome." said Lucy.
"These are great honey! When did you make all these?" asked Lynn Sr.
"A couple of days ago. Around the time when Lincoln sneaked out to be a superhero. Speaking of Lincoln, I made one for him too." said Leni.
The other Louds then looked in awe at Lincoln's suit. It was orange, with a silver lightning bolt on the front, and had a silver cape attached too.
"Leni that's awesome!" exclaimed Lynn.
"Yeah, Linc's gonna love it!" said Luan.
"Yeah, if we ever find him dudes!" said Luna in a worried tone.
"Don't worry Luna we'll find him." said Rita.
"But how?! We don't know where he is!" exclaimed Lola.
"Hang on family. I'm getting another vision." said Lisa. Her vision then compelled her to turn on the television. She felt like it would relay some helpful information.
"Uh...Lisa? Why are you turning on the TV?" asked Lynn confused.
"3..2..1." said Lisa.
All of sudden, an unexpected broadcast came on the T.V. showing a shady looking warehouse, with a lot of machines.
"What is this?" asked Lori confused.
"Hello Royal Woods! Remember me? I know you don't. You're probably wondering who the heck I am, but I'll take the common courtesy and tell you what you can refer to me as: Jack." said Jack, on the T.V.
"Who is this guy?" asked Lana.
"I don't know. Why are we watching this Lisa?" asked Lori.
"Shh! All will be revealed." said Lisa.
"Anyway, let me get to the point. *picks up a protactinium crystal* See this crystal? Me and my men have planted one of these in every security system within the 30 mile radius of Royal Woods. Once I push this button, those crystals will explode releasing a town-wide EMP. Haha! Oh, and don't even think about trying to remove 'em, we've sealed each of the systems shut. So, if you don't want this to happen, and I'm talking to YOU police, you'll meet my demands. $1,000,000, a yacht, and we got a deal. If you don't comply, I'll be forced to proceed with the final step of my plan: RIGGING THE POWER PLANT! Hahahaha!" laughed Jack evily.
"Oh no! This is terrible!" exclaimed Leni.
"Yeah! How does he have a better evil laugh than me?" asked Luan.
"Dudes, if an EMP goes off at the power plant, Royal Woods might not have power for months!" exclaimed Luna.
"Actually Luna, we might be talking years according to my statistics." said Lisa.
"But how is he gonna pull this off?" asked Lucy.
"Oh! One more thing police! Just so you don't think I'm bluffing..." said Jack, as he flipped on the light switch to reveal conveyor belts of protactinium crystals, electrically charged with...LINCOLN'S ELECTRICITY?! The machine he was fastened in was slowly extracting his lightning energy.
The Loud family gasped. Lincoln looked like he was in excruciating pain, and they wanted nothing more than to stop this "monster".
"So remember police! Meet my demands! Or face the consequences. Oh, and as to how to contact me? Figure it out. You guys are smart. Jack's out!" said Jack, as the eerie broadcast ended.
"We have to save Lincoln!" exclaimed Lola, teary-eyed.
"How?! We don't know where he is! And Lisa's visions can't track him!" exclaimed Lori.
"I can't, but this can!" said Lisa, as she revealed what looked like a measuring device of some sort.
"Honey, what is that?" asked Rita.
"This is a super electrometer! With this, I'll be able to detect the location of large amounts of electricity. The machine Lincoln's attached to is generating a lot of it. Now if I just turn it on..." said Lisa, as she turned the device on.
Almost immediately, the device picked up a large amount of energy just outside Royal Woods.
"I believe that's where Lincoln is. Quickly family! We must get moving!" shouted Lisa.
"Yes! Let's go Louds!" exclaimed Lynn Sr.
"Wait! Honey, how are we getting there?" asked Rita.
"We'll just have to go in Vanzilla!" said Lynn Sr.
"Psh! Superheroes don't travel in vans!" mocked Lola.
"They do when they can't fly. Let's go!" said Lynn Sr., as he and his family raced out the door and piled into the van. They were decked out in their superhero outfits, and hoped they wouldn't be noticed by anyone. But that was the least of their worries. They had two crises to address: Lincoln and the future of Royal Woods.
Phew! Okay, so the Louds are finally on their way to combat evil so to speak. I had to get a chapter out this week for you guys so I hope you enjoyed this one!
