"Lincoln/Linka joins Luna/Luke at the arcade and try to reach 1,000,000 points on Guitar Hero?

Story Eleven: Rockin' The Loud House

"Girls! You ready?!" The Lincoln Loud shouts with excitement filling his voice, as he slides down the Loud House stairs. Then, as he hits the end bottom, he jumps, he jumps backflips, and lands with his arms outstreched, showing off his pink sweater, designed with a star and an accompanying rainbow trail. As well as a purple skirt and pink headband "If we don't hurry up they'll be out!"

"Calm down twerp, there's going to be plenty of chocolate left behind." Lori responds with her typical, uncaring tone as she walks down the stairs, followed by the other nine siblings.

Luan cuts in, "And if they don't, we'll be fudged!" and then breaks out into laughter

Immediately, Lola jumps up and covers Luan's mouth with her glove, "Don't jinx it Luan! You know how much we need that chocolate! Dad's spare reserves ran out last week and we're about to go into withdrawal!" Then she turns to her brother, "You remember what happened when you took all of the chocolate in the house for your project once, don't you?!"

Lincoln gives a sheepish smile in response, "Of course I do! I was so scared!"

Luna gives her guitar a soft strum, "So sis, what would you like to do today, after we hit the mall of course."

Lincoln thinks for a moment, before responding, "How about we go to Dairyland? We haven't gone in a while and I really want to-" he then goes into the skirt pocket and pulls out a flier for a new ride, with twists, turns and a one-hundred foot drop! "Ride the new coaster! It's based off my favorite show!"

"Like, what show is your fave Linc?" Leni asks in excitement, "You like, never told us!"

Lucy appears behind Lincoln, causing the sisters to jump in shock "I always assumed that your fave was ARGGH!" she pulls out his ghost hunting gear, "After all, you do watch it on a regular basis."

"Nah Luce," Lincoln waves his younger sister off, "My favorite show is 9.8 Falls!" Before pulling another flier out from his skirt's pocket, showing a boy in a sweater, and girl wearing a pine tree hat, their great aunt, a female handyman, and another male worker standing around a campfire, "It's a show filled with Mystery!"

Lisa simply adjusts her glasses her glasses, "I still don't see its allure."

"Whatever." Lincoln responds, "It's just too high-brow for ya." Then he turns to Lori, "So can we go to Dairyland today?!"

"Can we please?" Lana speaks up, followed by Luna and Luan agreeing,

Lynn twirls a ball around for a moment, before answering, "Sure, I'm down for it if you girls are."

Lisa sighs, "And I too would like to go to Dairyland, sisters."

"Then it's decided." Lori declares, as she clutches her bag closer, "After we go get our monthly shipment of chocolate, we'll go to Dairyland."

Lincoln, Lynn, Luna, Luan, Lisa and Lana cheer in excitement, while Leni, Lily, Lucy and Lola give a collective sigh in defeat.

""I call dibs on the sweet spot!" Lincoln shouts, before rushing out the front door.

With that, Lori grabs onto her bag tightly, before she givijng a concerned sigh, "What's going on with you Lincoln? You never wanted to be like this before…"

"You ok Lori?" Luna places a soft hand on her shoulder, "You seem a bit tense and stuff. Lincoln's 'condition' getting you down or something?"

"I'm fine…" Lori's voice trails off, "Come on, let's not keep him… her, waiting."

Lana and Lola don't hesitate to run out the door after that, followed by Leni carrying Lily in her arms and Lynn and Lucy come after her, and Lori rounds them out.

"Hey Lisa." Luan says, "How's the Dimensional Watch thingy going?"

Lisa adjusts her glasses in response, "It's an Inter-Dimensional Matter Transporting Device that will allow me to…" the four-year-old's voice trails off uncertainly.

"Lisa?"

She sighs and lets her arms go limp defeat, "I'm not sure really. At first I thought I could use it to simply cancel out the original, in hopes that the anomalies will go away with it…"

"But?"

"But, I'm not sure what will happen when I use this." She fumbles with a small, watch-like device as well as a small Swiss Army Knife, before sighing and continuing, "I've never seen this amount of anomalies appear before…"

Luan cuts in, "So what? What are these anomalies anyway?"

"They're… things that don't belong, but fit in so well that it's hard to see that it's out of place."

Luna then continues, "I see Lisa, well then, you should be able to finish that device at the mall and hopefully fix everything." Then she leans in and whispers, "I'm starting to get worried that Lincoln is going to go too far… unless this whole thing with his behavior and the anomalies popping up was just a coincidence or something…"

"And I'm running out of transgender puns." Luan rubs the back of her head in embarrassment.

"I'm doing my best sisters, but I'm going to need more time to get this technology right." Her voice gains an annoyed exhaustion to it, "If I rush, I risk tearing the very fabric of out universe to shreds!"

"Well, there's not much we can do right now." Luan then turns and walks over to the door, "Come on, let's go." And she opens it, revealing a red-haired boy wearing a blue shirt with a white collar and blue pants.

"Uhh, hi there?" Luan goes.

Cristopher stands by for a moment, unsure of how to respond... that is, until he points and screams, "Oh no! You're that crazy girl!" Then he turns and runs off while shouting, "Please don't shove a baseball bat down my throat!"

Luan blinks twice, "Uhh, what just happened?"

Lisa adjusts her glasses, "Interesting, I believe an anomaly was behind that random event. I should-" she then turns, as if preparing to run back upstairs, only for Luna to grab her by the shirt.

"Sis, you can look up these dimensional anomaly things later, right now, we have to take care of Lincoln... Liberty... whatever he... she… they want to be called."

"Curses." Lisa sighs, "All right."

"Girls!" Lori runs over to the front door, her voice filled with a concerned anger, "We're waiting for you! Come on, or else you get no chocolate!"

The three girls shudder in fear at that thought, before they nod and run over to vanzilla. Lori starts it up, and within minutes, the screeching metal death trap pulls out of the driveway and heads off to the mall.

Linka sighs in defeat, "I don't know what to do now… my sisters think I'm transgender, and actually seem to like me like, well, that." She then she sits down on her home's couch, "To think… I'm in a reality that's just like my own, yet it's so much different." Soft tears begin to form on her eyes.

"Hey GLaDOS, send me home please."

"Input accepted, returning to dimension of origin."

And with that, the world around Linka dissipates and reforms around her, changing the from the living room back in her home of Dimension C-137 to the room she calls her own in Dimension 63i'\.

"It was bad enough when he started running around in a dress. Around Christmas she decided that she would tell my parents that I was transgender. And now, my sisters are becoming concerned!" Linka thinks, before giving a sigh, trying to hold back the painful feelings she harbors as she places on her desk once more. "Christmas..."

*Sniffle*

Immediately, Luke bursts through the room door carrying an acoustic guitar, "Linka, are you all right?! I heard you sniffle! What's wrong, how can I help and-"

Linka simply turns to her brother "It's fine." Linka wipes the tears under her eyes; "I'm just feeling down cause Claudia's busy today and stuff." Then the realization hits her, "Wait, how'd you hear me sniffle."

Luke's determined brother expression softens to a caring one, "Ahh, so it's just girl stuff huh? As for your second question, I didn't hear it, I felt it."

Linka nods, before turning back to the goggles, "Yeah… just girl stuff." Then just before her brother can walk out, she says, "Hey Luke, I can tell you anything right?"

"Yeah sis, I'm your big bro! If you need me to keep a secret or something, feel free to tell me, I promise I won't say anything!" Luke's heart begins to race, his mind zooming passed the possibilities, "Is Linka going to finally tell me the truth?! That she rather be a boy?!" Then, as if trying to calm his sister down, he begins to strum away.

"Well…" She starts, "I really want to tell you something… but I'm not sure how to- Wait, you can play acoustic?"

Luke smiles, "When I was first starting out, dad made me play classical. When I started getting jobs and getting paid, I bought my hard metal stuff." Then, he looks around and whispers, "I like classical music, but it's too… up tight for me."

"Heh…" Linka goes.

"So, if you want to tell me anything, feel free."

"Well, I've been meaning to-"

"Luke you've got a call, Luke you've got a call!" Luke's voice shouts from his pocket.

Immediately, the boy goes in and pulls out a small, silver device that was the phone his parents had given him. After a quick inspection of the name, Luke sighs, "Sorry Linka, can you hold it for a bit, this is important."

Linka puts on a pained smile and nods, "Sure bro, go ahead and answer it!"

"Thanks sis." He responds, before standing up and stepping out of his sister's room.

"Phew." Linka thinks, "Why did I feel… relieved that I was just about to tell someone the truth?" Then, she goes into the drawer and pulls out her dimensional watch, the strange device and the card that bared the first hunter's image. "Maybe… maybe I should tell him."

Then, with another sigh, she straps the watch on, while making sure to hide the other items in her drawer. "No, you can't tell them yet. What if they panic? The destruction of the world is a serious problem and this weird guardian guy leading me is sure to raise some flags."

"Dangit!" She says aloud, "What am I going to do?!" Then, she looks at her nearby calendar, William warned that something was going to come around this time, but what?" She then steels her nerves, "I'll tell him. I need help to save the world."

With that, Luke walks into the room again, "Hey Linka, that was my roadie, she told me that we're cleared for the concert tonight."

"What concert?"

Luke chuckles, "Don't tell me you forgot! It's the New Year's Concert at Gos's Games, Grub and Dance Club!" Then, he kneels down to her, "You were feeling really down so I invited you to it, you know, since dad would never agree to let you go there on your own. Plus, I promised to spend time with you after you hanged out with Lynn, remember?"

A Few Days Earlier…

"Hey dad, may I take Linka to one of my concerts?" Luke asks, standing in front of his father.

Lynn Sr. thinks for a moment, before flipping his newspaper to the next page, "Where, when and why?"

"The concert is at Gos's Dance Club, New Year's Eve, and because Linka has been acting really down lately and I'm worried about her."

The man puts down his newspaper and stares Luke dead in the eyes, "I'll allow it. Under the condition that you make sure that she is not only safe, but feels better. Got that Luke?"

"Yes sir." Luke softly responds.

"And remember, watch out for your sister." Then he grabs his newspaper and gets back to reading, while Luke mentally cheers for his success.

Back in the present…

"After that, I came to you and you said 'sure'." Luke finishes, "Do you still wanna go? It could be good for you to blow a load off and stuff with those video games."

"My body is urging me to say no… but I haven't played video games that much since I got here!" Before she waves her brother off with, "Sure Luke, I'd love to go! Sounds like it'd be a ton of fun!"

Luke smiles, "Awesome sis, and hey, you can tell me what you wanted to tell me later." Then he stands up, "I have to go get ready and get the rest of the band ready and junk. You'll be all right sis?"

"Yeah bro thanks." Then she smiles, "So when do we head out and stuff?"

"We'll go in about… three hours? That should give you enough time to prepare and me to do my things. Though, given what you do to prepare, I think we might be cutting it close." Then young boy kneels down to her, "Linka… you know if there's anything bugging you that you can tell us, right?"

Linka simply nods and wipes her tears once more, "Don't worry bro, I'll be fine."

"Ok then sis, ok then." And with that, he stands up and walks out of the room.

"So how's she doing?" Leni asks.

"Why was she crying?!" Lexx shouts.

Lynn cracks his knuckles, "If a boy broke her heart, you know what we're going to do to them!"

"Calm down guys." Luke motions for his brothers to hold off for a moment, while he answers, "She's fine. Her friend is just busy today and she was sad about it."

"Heh, girls and their emotions, am I right?" The boys' annoyed silence is the only answer they give him. "Heh, tough crowd."

Then, Luke speaks up again, "I'm going to take her to that gig like I promised, so she should feel better later… so long as nothing goes wrong."

Loki nods, "Got it, I'm leaving you in charge of her today Luke, make sure she's all right and that you're home by 11:30, tonight's new years and like usual, we're going to the park."

"Will do bro. Will do."

Then Loki turns to the rest of the brothers, "As for the rest of you, you guys have to prepare the home for new years."

The brothers nod in agreement, before running off to their assigned jobs, while Luke simply walks into his room, preparing for his concert.


Back in Linka's room, the young girl sits back in her chair, trying to let everything sink in. Yet, after a few moments, she simply sighs, goes into her drawer and pulls out a familiar notebook, "Ok then. Let's go at this again."

Then she opens the book and begins writing, "December thirty-first. It's been over two months since I first ended up here and man do I miss my sisters. It was hard waking up Christmas Morning without their usual, well, loudness to give me a sense of comfort. But hey, at least things can't get worse? Right?!"

"I hope William was wrong… I don't want to have to deal with another Trevor guy. Having to deal with a card game on motorcycles was hard, but then he tried to seal us in cards…"

She sighs once more, "If I do end up fighting someone, I hope that this time I'll finally get the answers I need… And maybe I'll finally figure out where to find the flippin' Macguffin parts!" Linka smiles, "The sooner I get home, the sooner I can stop the real Linka from screwin' me over! Seriously! I've been feeling down because Linka has:"

1) Convinced my siblings I'm transgender (This caused mom to cry and dad had to comfort her)

2) Started growing my hair out and putting me in dresses (Though, I have to admit, I do look good in a dress)

3) Broke up with Ronnie Anne (You wouldn't believe how angry Lori was... At least Ronnie took it "well". She only Punched her nine times!)

4) For some reason, started dating Clyde! (I don't even know how she convinced him to go out with her)

5) She deleted my "Not Porn" folder (Note, she's probably going to regret that… if she starts feeling the same things I am.)

"I really miss my sisters..." Her mind starts to wander, "Though, I have to admit, I like feeling pretty and my brothers give me all the chocolate I want when I'm feeling down and they-."

"Get a hold of yourself Lincoln!"

She then clutches her pen, before continuing, "I think that spending too much time in this body is starting to affect my mind. I'm starting to get severe cravings for chocolate, becoming more susceptible to emotion and feeling a push against the things I used to enjoy…"

Then she sighs, "Oh yeah, that reminds me. Luke's seemed to be the one who most wants to spend time with me, but I can't seem to relate for some reason."

"At this point, I don't know how to feel. Should I be happy that my sisters are so accepting of Linka, or annoyed that they think the she's me?! And William's not helping at all! I'm stuck in another world and I don't even know what to do next!"

Then, throws herself back against her chair in defeat. With a sigh, she pulls out a certain card as well as a small shield-like device, "Well, if anything happens tonight, I have to be sure to have these on me. Who knows, maybe I'll finally find out what this darn thing does besides seal people in metal cards for all eternity… and set up a card games on motorcycles thing."

And with that, Linka quickly packs her bag and begins to get ready for the New Year's Eve gig that Luke is going to take her to.

Later…

"Ok Poppy, we're here!" Luke declares with excitement filling his voice, "Just drop us off right there." He then points at an open parking space in front of the venue and a few moments after that his female roadie pulls the Vanzilla in.

"You know what to do." Luke assures, before he turns to his little sister, "Come on Linka, I'll check us in while Poppy brings the gear in."

Linka nods, "Ok Luke…" And with that, she turns, and gets out of the van.

"Wow!" The young girl thinks as she takes in the sight. The arcade and dance club combo, is large, taking up about two storefronts worth of space, while the small parking lot in front makes the space eve larger.

"Heh, first time here huh?" Luke jokes, before taking Linka's hand in his own, "Come on, you haven't seen anything yet sis!"

Linka just continues looking around, awestruck by the mere sight of everything.

The automatic front doors part ways for the siblings, bringing the rest of the venue into view.

On the right of the entrance is a small reception desk with a single worker manning it. On the left side is a small arcade; while on the right is a small stage. Between the two of them are the numerous tables reserved for the patrons.

"Wow." Linka quips, "This is amazing!"

Luke simply smiles, "Bout time she stopped feeling down." Before he asks,"So where do you wanna start Sis?"

"Uhh." Linka goes, before pointing at a random console decorated with random, pixel men, "How about… Little Warrior Fight X? I heard Fighter McBeatstick is a great character in that!"

"Hmm," Luke goes, "You sure you're up to it sis?"

"I am so up to it!" Linka goes in excitement, "Will you play it with me?"

Luke runs his hand through his sister's long, white curls, "Yeah sis, of course! Let me just go grab our gaming card, how about you go ahead and meet me there?" Then, the boy lets go of his sister.

"Why do I have the sudden urge to grab it again?" Linka thinks, before nodding with a beaming smile on her face, "Sure bro!" And with that, the young girl runs ahead and grabs a stool, puts it down in front of the machine and begins practicing.

Meanwhile, Luke walks up to the reception counter with, "Hi, I'm Luke Loud, I'm scheduled to perform tonight?"

The young woman behind the counter taps away at her computer, before printing out a small plastic card. She looks at him with reserved eyes as she speaks, "Yes, Mr. Loud, you are set to perform at ten o'clock. That is in two hours." Then she takes the newly printed card and hands it to the young man, "This is your game card, we expect you to be ready to play ten minutes before you are set to perform."

"Thank you." Luke takes the card and walks away. He sighs trying to clear up his confused thoughts, "I guess Linka really does wanna be our brother… she usually wouldn't say yes to a game like that. Maybe that's what she was trying to tell me earlier."

And then a young girl runs right into him, causing him to fall back with the girl on top of him. "Oh, uhh, sorry." The two blush, before the girl Jumps to her feet and runs off.

"Huh, that was strange." He thinks, before approaching the console. "Ok Linka, I've got the card."

Linka turns to him and smiles, "Awesome bro, let's play then!"

"You got it sis!"

And with that, Luke slides the card in and uses it to pay. Immediately, the console jolts to life with the character selection screen.

"Ok, I choose the Fighter McBeatstick!" Linka declares as she moves her cruiser to a small, muscular man with torn blue jeans, no shirt, a red bandanna and blonde hair.

"And I choose the Raiden Metal!" Luke responds, choosing a cybernetic being with an eye patch and blonde hair as well.

Immediately, the game console loads up the 3D rendered field as well as the chosen warriors. Then, the announcer shouts. "Fight!" Immediately, Luke's character gets an early lead over Linka's, by easily launching a barrage of random lasers and bullets. Yet, Linka counters by forcing Raiden away sending her own barrage back.

"I'm not done yet bro!" Linka declares, before she begins spamming buttons. Luke responds, "Oh yeah?! Well here's my return!"

Eventually though, Linka ends their game by using McBeatstick's special attack- the Super Power Ninja Turbo Neo Ultra Hyper Mega Multi Alpha Meta Extra Uber Prefix- combo!"

All Luke can do is hit random buttons as Linka's fighter sends a flurry of punches at Raiden, causing the robot to explode into a pile of damaged parts.

"Huh, wow Linka, I didn't know you were so good at video games. It's like you played this a lot before! McBeatstick is super hard to master!"

Linka awkwardly shrugs, "What can I say bro, I guess I'm just a natural at this!" she then puts on a sheepish smile, before thinking, "Please don't catch on, please don't catch on, please don't catch on!"

"Heh, well then Link, how about we try out a game more suited to me?"

"And what game would that be bro?"

Immediately, Luke walks over to a game console with three guitar-shaped controllers attached to it, "My favorite game here sis, Guitar Warrior Legends!" Then, he hands one of the controls to his sister, here, take one and let's play."

"You're on bro!" Linka excitedly smiles before taking the controller in her hands and setting herself up to play.

"Man, I've never seen Linka smile this much before. I guess bringing her here was just the thing she needed to feel better about herself… whether or not she would rather be a boy though… I hope I find out soon."

Then, the machine revs up and colored notes begin to rush down the side-by-side moving platforms. Immediately Linka and Luke get to work playing, knowing that whoever wins will be the new guitar warrior!

The two play the game's songs with relative ease, pushing the counter as far as it can go as they work their way to the goal.

After a few moments of playing, the verdict is set and Luke replaces his controller in defeat, "Heh, you win sis, good job." While he thinks, "Wow, I didn't know my sis could play that well. No one ever beats me at that game!"

Linka puts on a sheepish smile once more as she responds, "Thanks bro, I guess I'm the Guitar warrior now!"

Luke smiles, before rubbing his sister's head, "Don't worry sis, I'm going to fight to get my title back, just you wait!"

Then, he pulls out his card once more, "Wanna go again?!"

Linka nods, "Yeah bro! Let's go!"

Two Hours Later…

"Finally, after Fifty-two attempts!" Luke throws his arms up in joy, "I win!"

"Haha bro!" Linka responds, "You only won cause I let you!"

"Oh yeah?!" He responds, "How about another round then sis?! Winner take all!"

"I would bro. But look at the time." Linka then points at a nearby clock, "You've got to perform in a few don't ya?"

"Heh, you're right!" Luke places the control back in its holder, "It's about time for me to start my performance, how about you take a seat sis? Good game though."

"Yeah… sure." Linka responds, her voice filling with disappointment." While she thinks, "My body says that I should stop, but I can't help but try to have some fun with my brothers... plus, when did my sisters ever want to play video games with me?!"

Luke rubs the top of Linka's head affectionately, "Don't worry sis, we'll play again later, after I perform. So why don't you, you know, take a seat and watch your big bro make some cash before new year's?"

For a moment, Linka hesitates, before nodding, "sure bro!" And running over to one of the small rounded tables, filled with gamers of all walks of life and sizes, gathered to watch Luke play the new year off."

Linka takes a seat closer to the stage, allowing her to get a better view of her brother. There's a sweaty man on her right, but some breathing room to her left. Thankfully, she took a seat before many others, or she might've been crammed between two! She shudders at the thought.

After a few minutes, the game corner's lights begin to dim, and Gos walks up to the stage in an elegant black dress. The middle-aged woman doesn't seem to be a day over thirty, with medium-length black hair and light, though slightly wrinkled skin.

She takes the microphone in hand and declares with a soft, motherly tone, "Hello one and all, to the Royal Woods Gamer New Year's Party!"

Immediately, the crowd bursts into cheers while Linka does her best not to let the... oversized man come too close to her.

"For the night, we have Royal Woods's own, Luke Loud performing his Internet hit, Welcome to a Loud new year!"

Then, she moves aside as Luke takes the mic, "Hey everyone!" He declares, before the curtain behind him parts ways, "I'm Luke and we're the loud house! Is everyone ready?!"

Somehow, Luke manages to excite the crowd with that simple phrase.

Then again, he is Luke Loud, even Linka feels excited by her brother revin' up.

"A one and a two and!" He shouts, before giving the guitar a soft strum, creating a familiar beat. "It's been one long year and it's been a heck of a time. It's been 365 days of changes on a dime!" Then, the drums, the base and the back up guitar begin to play, giving a small energy as the members shout, "in the loud house, in the loud house!"

Then, his beat fills with life, "Yet it's nothing for us to gripe about. We've still got some time left to make a change! As long as I'm here with you, nothing can go wrong!"

"In the loud house, in the loud house!"

"We fight we run we punch and dodge! But that's just what us bros do, to show our love!

"In the loud house, in the loud house!"

Then, with a brotherly determination behind it, Luke shouts, "And though the new year is so uncertain, we'll keep on growing together! Because it our year to shine! With 365 days to go, we will show the world who we are!"

Then, the beat stops for a moment so Luke can add, "And remember, no one messes with our sister."

And the band ends the song with, "In the loud house! In the loud, loud, loud house!"

Immediately the crowd bursts into applause, with random clapping and sounds blaring in cheer.

Only for everything to just stop and a gloomy atmosphere to overtake the venue.

"What the?" Linka thinks, "What's going on? Why can't I move?!"

"That was nice, I have to admit." A voice calls out, before a hooded figure takes to the stage. "It almost makes me wish I didn't have to seal you away."

"Oh no…" Linka thinks, as she watches the figure approach her time-paused brother.

Suddenly, Trevor's former device springs to life with, "Time field detected. Scanning for user DNA..." The device then scans the metal card resting inside Linka's bag, before responding, "User DNA detected! Activating protection bubble." And with that, the small, shield-like device projects a translucent bubble around the young girl, allowing her to move around once more.

"This was too easy." The hunter declares, before securing a similar device to their wrist, "Preparing to seal anomaly." And with that, she aims and taps her device.

"No!" Linka shouts, as she jumps out of her chair and run in front of her time-frozen brother, her bubble engulfing Luke, as well as causing the light to disperse around her. "I challenge you!"

"Stupid anomaly hunter code." The hunter mutters, before removing their hood, revealing a familiar face.

"Luna?!" Linka steps back in shock.

Luke then looks around in shock, "Uhh, Linka, what's going on?!" then he points at the opposing girl, "And aren't you the girl from before?"

"No and yes. I am Nyla Uold of dimension AX-144. Corporal in the Anomaly Elimination Unit. May I know who my opponents are?"

Luke grits his teeth, "Linka, what the heck going on?!"

"I am Linka Loud of dimension 63i'\ and this is my brother Luke!" Linka responds, before turning to Luke, "I'll explain everything later, but please Luke, I need you to trust me when I say, we have to beat her!"

Then, Luke looks at the girl in front of them, her blue uniform with golden highlights glows in the light grey of the paused time space. "She… looks pretty hot actually."

"So what's your challenge?" She demands, her voice filling with annoyance.

"Quick, think fast!" Linka thinks, as she pulls out Trevor's device and attaches it to her own wrist, "How about a rock off? Whoever can get the crowd to cheer louder wins!" While she thinks, "I don't know why, but it looks like this'll work for me! Fingers crossed!"

"Linka…" Luke stands up, "You've got a ton of explaining to do later, for one, what the heck is going on?!"

"I'm doing my job as an anomaly hunter, sealing you away in containment cards!" She then begins taping the screen on her device, causing a feminine voice to declare, "Generating Hunting Field, Music Rush."

And with that, counters appear about the sibling's heads.

"Anomalies?!" Luke shouts, "Seal away?!"

Nyla simply responds, "Look, I don't want to verse you in a music contest and would rather just seal you away and stuff, but because you can fight, and because our containment cards are so shitty, I can't do that till I defeat you. It's like trying to capture a Pokémon."

Luke then grits his teeth, before raising his guitar, "Linka, you have so much explaining to do later, it's not funny!"

"I know Luke!" Linka responds, raising her device. And with that, both devices jolt to life, creating small, hard-light guitars

"First to one million points wins"

"Lets rock!" the trio shouts, and immediately the crowd unfreezes.

"There's a change of plans tonight folks!" Nyla declares, "You're not just having a single performance, you're having a rock off!" Then, she points at the glowing counters, "Above us are our point counters! The louder you cheer, the faster they increase, the first to hit one million points wins!"

"Now who's ready to rock?!" She shouts, causing the crowd to go wild, giving her an early lead of 4000.

Linka and Luke gulp in fear, before steeling their nerves, turning to each other and nodding.

With the band playing the background Nyla gives a hard rock strum, causing a light-pink-purple aura to form around her.

"Thing's are gonna get weird! I ain't from round' here! I'm the hunter that won't give up!"

Then, with another strum, she sends a hard-light note flying across the stage at the siblings, forcing them to jump to the side.

"Luke!" Linka shouts, yet instead of responding, Luke simply raises his guitar, "You know what to do sis."

"You know by now we're not the ones, but we're the ones who've taken the chance! We're no anomalies, we're just some kids from Royal Woods and we'll fight!"

An orange aura forms around Linka while a purple one forms around Luke. Then, with another strum of her orange, hard-light guitar, Linka sends another note flying at Nyla, yet she easily dodges it and counters.

"It starts with one thing! And I don't know why, but you're nothing more than mistakes the universe has made, and I've been sent to clean you up! There may be no place for me to go!"

The crowd goes wild, raising the counters up to 150,000 Nyla, and 125,000 for Linka and Luke.

Yet, not to be outdone, Luke counters with.

"I may not know what's going on, but I can just stay along, No matter what may happen, I'll stand up here sing for my sis! We're the Louds and it's our time to rock!"

And with that, Luke launches his own hard-light projectile at the hunter. Yet, she easily dodges it.

"But I'm still here, and my mission is clear, to seal anomalies away for all eternity!" Then she strums faster, "I had a brother and nine sisters, and they all disappeared one day! And to get them back I'll fight for what is right!"

Then, another musical-note shaped projectile fires, luckily, it dissipates when it hits the wall.

Linka's turn again, and she glows more.

"There's so much I still don't understand, there's still so much I can't explain! But I will fight to see the people I love! And I'll go on and fight for eternity!"

The counters rise once more as the audience cheers, the unexpected laser light rock off fills the venue with an excitement Gos could only dream of. In fact, the middle-aged woman stands to the side, simply smiling at the sight.

"Though I thrive on what I do, I know that I've got stuff to lose! My name Nyla Uold and I'm here to sing!"She strums harder, launching more notes at the siblings, yet they manage to dodge the onslaught. "The entity's gaze is our ray of hope, though our homes may be lost it is our duty to save the rest!"

Luke then glows once more, "Though I may not know where you came from, and I don't know what'll you do next! Just know that I'll fight no matter how bad things may get! In the Loud House, we're ready to rock!"

He then rushes Nyla and sends hard-light notes right at her, yet she effortlessly dodges the assault.

Then, with rage filling in her eyes, her heart racing and determination filling her veins she shouts, "The times you live in have changed, life is no longer the same, with our brothers and sisters here as one, us soldiers of the night! We will stand against the corruption of the multiverse!"

Then, with a massive barrage, Nyla sends Linka and Luke back.

Their counters meet with all three of them tied at 900,000 points. The audience goes silent in shock, as if unsure of whether or not to cheer or rush in to help. For a moment, both Linka and Luke seem down and out, and Nyla raises her device, "Preparing to-"

"No…" Linka declares, before standing up.

"Linka, just face facts, there's no way that we can win! She's from another dimension!"

Linka simply dusts herself off and begins to strum once more, "Though she may be from another dimension, that doesn't mean we can't still blow doors down!"

An uncertain energy begins to fill the room, as if the crowd is at the edge of their seats, waiting to see what is to come next.

"You mean it sis? You say it's time to blow doors down?!" Luke responds, he too readying his guitar for the fight.

"Come on Luke, it's time for a showdown, we've gotta light up the stage!" Linka shouts, the glowing auras that surrounded the duo return as they sing.

"Now we've got to blow this hunter away! We're the Louds and it's our time to rock! We're the Louds and we duck, dodge, push and shove! It's how we show our love! And we'll never give up! We're the Loud's and it's our time to rock!"

And with that, the duo sends a barrage of random hard-light notes at Nyla, who jumps around desperatelyin an attempt to dodge the assault. Yet, she ends up getting hit anyway.

Immediately, the crowd bursts into a flurry of random cheers, causing Linka and Luke's counter to overtake 1,000,000.

"We win!" Luke shouts.

Nyla stands up in defeat, before turning her device on herself. "Unit defeated, self-"

"No!" Linka shouts as she runs over and grabs her arm, "Don't turn yourself into a card too! I have so many questions!"

"Sorry kid it's-"

"You were good. After answering some questions, you should join my band."

Nyla then looks up at the boy she had just fought and blushes, before she puts her arm down and simply nods. "Uhh… Sure, I was getting bored of anomaly hunting anyway... maybe later. I still have a job to do. Uhh… see you later." Her voice is filled with nervousness as she turns and leaves just as abruptly as she arrived.

"Huh…"

"Well that was weird… but fun."

The crowd cheers one final time as Linka and Luke take a bow and head off stage.

"That was cool." Then, Luke turns to Linka with, "So sis, care to explain… everything?"

Linka puts on a sheepish smile, before sighing, "Fine, I'll explain everything back home… But promise you won't tell anyone."

Luke kneels down to her, "No problem sis, I won't tell anyone. Just please, tell me everything,"

"Now come on, we have to get home! It's New Year's!"

And with that, they run out of the venue.

Later…

"5… 4… 3… 2… 1… Happy New Year!" The Louds shout in unison, as they watch the night sky over the Royal Woods Park.

And… nothing.

"Well… that was anti-climactic." Lane quips, "There were no-"

*Boom*

Immediately a burst of light flashes in the sky, followed by the sound of scattering rocket parts.

"Ahh!" Lane screams, before jumping into the nearby Luke's arms, causing the family to laugh.

"Well… at least a near year's here. I hope I get home soon." Then, Linka smiles, before looking at her family, "But for now, at least, I think I'll be fine."

Luke then takes a seat next to her on the grass, "So, have fun at the new year's party?"

"Best, rock-off, ever!"
