Today's episode is a special one folks! I know you were expecting Tarantula's Tales next, but I had to bring this episode to you all. This episode is the 50th episode of Super Louds: The Series! I am very excited to have accomplished this and want to thank everyone who has followed this story up to this point.
REVIEWS
TheCoffee - There's gonna be a few more new heroes in the future, but I don't wanna spoil anything. Thanks for reading the chapter. I appreciate it.
Matthew Crispin - I like your idea! I may actually use it. It would be interesting to watch the dynamic between those two. Thanks for the suggestion!
JTWAS1994 - Those two will find out about each other in short order. Trust me. The next Tarantula's Tales is gonna focus on something else though.
Guest - Really? I did not know that. But yeah, I completely understand. It was a bit of a stretch with that at the beginning. I didn't think your review was too harsh by the way. You brought up a valid point.
Indy Scott - I've already addressed the team up nickname with you, but I'll give my thoughts on it again. Awesome. Glad you liked the chapter.
Guest - In an early draft of this episode, that was actually going to be the case. However, I scrapped that idea toward completion of the episode.
ANNOUNCEMENT
Well, the poll results are in! With a unanimous 22 votes for Absolutely!, not to mention countless affirmations from guest reviews, I officially announce that Season 3 of Super Louds: The Series is confirmed!
Thank you all for voting.
So, to celebrate this 50th episode, I did something a little different. I'm taking you guys for a trip down memory lane, but maybe not exactly as you remember it.
You'll just have to see what I mean! Here we go with this episode! Reviews and constructive criticism welcome.
NB: Credit goes to a guest review for a name suggestion used in this episode. Thank you.
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 25: All Gears Turnin'...Again
It had been about two weeks since the Louds' had defeated Jacqueline, in what was their first superhero mission. Royal Woods was still buzzing about their newest heroes, the Thunder Strikers, and who their identities could possibly be. Since then, the Louds (who were the Thunder Strikers) had been training with their powers every day using Levi's fight simulator in the bunker he had made to withstand Lane's pranks. Each of the Louds were showing remarkable improvement with the use of their powers. Through training, Loki found out that he could use the wind to help him fly, and Loni found out he could turn others intangible!
Despite all these achievements, there was still one thing the Louds were lacking: teamwork. Sure, they were practicing fighting, but they never practiced together as a unit. It was almost like there was no harmony between them, which was ironic considering the evident synergy between them as a family. Levi noticed this, and decided to issue a test to his family. A test of their teamwork.
"*taps mic* Guys, can I have your attention?" asked Levi from the command booth intercom.
He was currently dressed as Perceptor, his alter ego. His suit was the same as his inter dimensional counterpart.
The Louds suddenly stopped their practicing and looked up at the command booth Levi was in. Well, except Leif who was confused.
"Huh? Who said that?" asked Leif obviously confused.
He was currently dressed as Hailstorm, his alter ego. His suit was all white with a navy blue snowflake insignia on the front. He also had a navy blue mask, gloves and boots.
"Uh, *taps mic once more* up here." said Perceptor, emphasizing his presence once more.
"Oh." said Hailstorm in response.
"Right. So, I've been monitoring our heroic performances these past weeks, and I'm proud to say that we've improved by at least 80 percent." said Perceptor.
"Woohoo! Alright! Plus one for Thunder Strikers!" said Lynn hyped.
He was currently dressed as his alter ego, Smackdown. His suit was a sleeveless half red/half black suit, with white fighting gloves, boots and a white mask with red trim.
"Cheer for yourself Lynn. You know you're not a team player." said Linka, currently dressed as Magnetta.
Her suit was largely the same as her inter dimensional counterpart, only she wore a silver skirt as her bottom half.
"You're just mad because I'm still on my winning streak." said Smackdown, with a smirk.
"Winning isn't everything you know." said Magnetta.
"That's something a loser would say!" said Smackdown gloating.
"She's right Lynn. This is the precise reason why I'm issuing a test to you all today." said Perceptor.
"What are we testing?" asked Loki, currently dressed as Tornado.
His suit was dark blue with a tornado insignia on the front. He also had a gray mask with gray gloves and boots.
"I cannot relay that information to you at this time. It'll ruin the test results." said Perceptor.
"Heeey! How come you're not taking this test with us?" asked Lexx, currently dressed as Heatwave.
His suit was pink with a flame insignia on the front. He also had orange gloves and boots and an orange cape. His mask was pink with an orange trim and he wore his crown as well.
"Someone has to record the results. Begin!" said Perceptor, as he pressed a large green button on the panel in front of him.
Suddenly, a giant version of Trashy was simulated on the "battlefield". It was test time.
"Ewww! Not that thing again!" exclaimed Heatwave disgusted.
"Don't be such a wuss! I'll handle this!" said Smackdown, as he ran ahead of everyone and punched Trashy in his "stomach". His punch didn't affect Trashy at all. In fact, his fist just got stuck in Trashy actually.
"*sighs* Dang it Lynn. I told you about running ahead!" exclaimed Rita, as she stretched her arm out in an attempt to pull Smackdown free, but ended up getting stuck too.
"Aw shoot! Now I'm stuck!" said Rita.
She was currently dressed as Ms. Elastic. Her suit was green and she wore dark blue gloves and boots. She also wore a green mask with white trim. Apparently, in this universe, the parents seemed to have switched powers.
"Hang tight mama! No one can stop the jams!" said Luke, as he punched the air in front of him, releasing a shockwave that actually blasted Trashy apart.
"Ya see? Told you!" said Luke.
He was currently dressed as Rockstar, his alter ego. His suit was the same as his inter dimensional counterpart, except that he wore a skull chain instead. He also seemed to fight with his fists as opposed to his guitar.
"Luke, I hate to say this, but you actually just created a bigger problem." said Magnetta, pointing out that the Trashy had actually just been split apart into 6 medium sized versions.
"Oh great, now there's more!" exclaimed Heatwave.
"Okay kids, don't lose your heads. There's 12 of us here, so that means 2 of us could-" Ms. Elastic was cut off as Heatwave had pretty much lost it and went berserk with his fire powers on the closest Trashy.
"Die! Die! Die! Die! Die!" exclaimed Heatwave, assaulting the Trashy with fire blasts.
The Trashy was pretty pissed at this point, and was about to attack Heatwave, when a wall of snow suddenly pushed him out of harm's way.
"*pops up from the snow* What the heck?!" said Heatwave confused.
"You're welcome bro." said Hailstorm, with a bit of disdain.
The attack that the Trashy prepared was now coming towards Loni, but he went intangible at the last second.
Loni was currently dressed as Trace. His suit was seafoam green with black accents. He had black gloves and boots and a seafoam green mask with a black trim.
"*sighs* I got this." said Tornado, as he blasted the Trashy apart once more with a gust of wind. It worked, but it flung the remnants of Trashy all over Heatwave.
"EWWWW!" exclaimed Heatwave.
"My bad Lexx." said Tornado.
"This thing is not gonna make me look bad!" said Smackdown, as he ran forward once more and began furiously attacking the trash monster.
"Lynn! Your punches don't work on that thing remember?" said Magnetta, trying to reason with her brother.
"Nonsense! This thing's going down!"
Just as Smackdown said that, the monster knocked him back with a powerful backhand slap. Luckily, Lynn Sr. caught his son by shape shifting into a baseball glove.
He was currently dressed as Mr. Shift. His suit was tango pink with purple and white stripes. He also wore a purple mask, gloves, and boots.
"Okay! That's enough! Time to handle this." said Magnetta, focusing herself.
She started using an invisible force to attract the metal cans hidden within the Trashy to her.
"Linka! Wait!" warned Lars, but it was too late.
He was currently dressed as Mister Mystic. His suit was the same as his inter dimensional counterpart.
The metal cans that Magnetta was attracting to herself started moving faster unexpectedly and she was starting to get overwhelmed. Luckily, Mister Mystic saw the metal cans ahead of time, and was prepared to stop them using his telekinesis.
"Thanks Lars. I owe ya." said Magnetta.
"You should probably stop saying that. I'm still waiting on those favors." said Mister Mystic.
This moment was suddenly interrupted by the Trashy lashing out at them. They both evaded the attack, and then found themselves huddled in the middle, with the others. They were now down to 5 Trashies.
"I can't believe we've literally only defeated one of these things." said Tornado.
"Yeah, thanks a lot for that Loki." said Heatwave, bringing up the past trash incident.
"Already apologized for that bro. Get over it." said Tornado, kind of annoyed.
"Hey guys! I think I have a solution!" said Lane, currently dressed as Spectrum.
His suit was rainbow colored and he had yellow gloves and boots. He also had a yellow mask with a white trim.
"It better not be a joke dude." said Rockstar.
"Nope! It's how we're gonna get outta here! Brace yourselves for the SPECTRUM of LIGHT!" said Spectrum, as a rainbow aura enveloped his body, before he released an energy wave that completely wiped out the rest of the Trashies.
"Alright Lane! You did it!" said Magnetta.
"Yeah, he did it alright. I think I got a cut from a tuna can, when he blasted those scumbags apart." said Smackdown.
"Hahahaha! Guess that METAL wanted to SCRAP with you! Get it?" joked Spectrum.
He was suddenly struck down by a random shockwave.
"You had it coming dude." said Rockstar.
"It was worth it." said Spectrum, on the floor.
Just then, Leon crawled towards Smackdown and placed his hand on his cut. Within seconds, the cut was healed.
Leon was currently dressed as Lifeline. His suit was the same as his inter dimensional counterpart, except his insignia was a red cross.
"Thanks Leo." said Smackdown.
Lifeline gave a salute as a response.
"So, did we pass the test?" asked Hailstorm curious.
"Negative." said Perceptor, as he came onto the "battlefield" from a door.
"How did we fail?" asked Tornado.
"Well let's see. There was a lack of communication between all of you, extreme pride evident in Luke and Lynn, a lone wolf display shown by Lexx, I mean the list goes on!" said Perceptor.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold up. What was this test even about anyway dude?" asked Rockstar.
"This was a test to test your teamwork skills. As a superhero team this is extremely important. If there's no unity between us, on the actual battlefield, the consequences are gonna be even worse than just a tiny cut or getting trashed on." said Perceptor.
"But what are you talking about? We work together! We're a team!" said Smackdown.
"Stop lying Lynn. You don't even believe that yourself." said Magnetta.
"Shut up Stinka! Why are you always on my case?" asked Smackdown.
"Cause you keep doing stupid things." said Magnetta.
"I'm not the one who's stupid! *pushes Magnetta* You're stupid!" exclaimed Smackdown.
"Don't push me!" said Magnetta, about to fight Smackdown.
Suddenly, Perceptor yelled at both of them to stop the fight.
"Enough! You know what Magnetta? You're right. This isn't much of a team, but it's everyone's fault. Think about it. Had you guys listened to our mother's battle plan, this fight would've turned out much differently. 2 of you on each Trashy would've meant that each Trashy would've been covered. You guys would've had them beat in no time. Instead, Mr. Hothead here had to ignite the flame, which set off a chain of disunited actions that ended up with a very clutched result." said Perceptor.
"But we still saved the day." said Spectrum.
"No Lane. You saved the day. And that's the whole point. We can't always get the glory for ourselves. As heroes working together, sometimes we have to receive the glory as a unit. But if we continue on the path we're on right now, we'll never be a synchronized unit." said Perceptor.
"Well, last time I checked this wasn't synchronized swimming." said Tornado, with a quip.
"Yeah dude. We're fine! It's not such a big deal!" said Rockstar.
"Um, I have to wash my hands!" said Trace in a distressed tone.
"Out of my way! Me first!" exclaimed Heatwave, as he made a dash for the exit, with the rest of the Louds following behind him.
Perceptor just shook his head at the display. Then he felt something touch his foot. It was Lifeline.
"Oh. Leon. I'm not surprised that they forgot you. Some teammates they are." said Perceptor, as he made his way for the exit as well with Lifeline.
He strongly believed that right now, if his family received an emergency, they would not be ready to handle it as a team.
Later that night, in downtown Royal Woods, employees were getting ready to knock off work at Tools n' Tidbits, a hardware store. It sold everything from tools, to parts, to building materials, you name it! Just as they were taking the day's inventory, and tidying up a bit, a woman wearing a large trench coat, shades and a fedora, strolled into the store, kind of suspiciously.
"Hey, sorry ma'am. We're closed." said one of the male employees.
"Oh? That's too bad. I just needed one thing." said the mysterious woman.
"I guess we could squeeze you in. What is it?" said the female employee.
Suddenly, the woman discarded the trench coat, shades, and fedora, revealing that she was fairly old, looking to be in her late 40s to early 50s, wearing a belt with all sorts of contraptions hooked on it.
She then unhooked what looked like a BB gun, but instead of shooting pellets, it shot out a net, that enlarged once it was released from the barrel, and it captured the three employees in front of her.
"Hey! What the heck lady?!" said the other male employee.
"Sorry. Can't have you young'uns getting in my way. Now where are the micro gears?" asked the old woman sinisterly.
Meanwhile at Royal Woods PD, Chief Debra Barnes was going over her recent case files, and when she came upon the case of Jacqueline, she smiled a bit.
She was relieved that Super Thunder was able to defeat her, and she knew that if the force ever needed their help again, she could count on them. Little did she know, that she was about to enact on that thought.
"Chief! We just got a call of a supposed armed robbery of sorts at Tools n' Tidbits. But this is a weird case. The assailant doesn't appear to be armed by conventional means." said Assistant Chief Wilma Peters, who had barged into the Chief's office suddenly.
"Hmm...Unconventional means unusual, and unusual means we've got a new villain in Royal Woods. I'm calling in Super Thunder! They can get there much faster than we can!" said the Chief.
"Right ma'am. I'll deploy some squad cars immediately." said Peters, as she left the room in a haste.
Meanwhile, back at the Loud House, the Louds were all having dinner, talking about various things. But not one of them was talking about the elephant in the room: their sub-par teamwork skills.
The rest of the Louds (besides Leon) were pretty offended by Levi's statement that they couldn't work together as a team. But the statistics didn't lie, and Levi knew his family would not be ready to handle a real emergency if it suddenly came. Suddenly, Levi got a vision of the future, that would make him realize his worst fears.
"*cellphone rings* Hang on a second honey. Hello?" said Rita, answering her phone.
"Hi! Is this Ms. Thunder?" asked the Chief.
"It's Ms. Elastic actually. What's up Chief?" asked Rita.
"We've got a robbery in progress at Tools n' Tidbits. Apparently, there's an old grandma in there wreaking havoc. Can you and the rest of Super Thunder put a stop to it?" said the Chief.
"Of course we can Chief! We'll be right there!" exclaimed Rita.
"Excellent! I'll be seeing you!" said the Chief, as she ended the call.
"Alright guys! We gotta roll! There's a robbery going on at the hardware store. Super Thunder, let's move!" said Rita.
"Alright! Our second superhero mission! Time to add to that winning streak!" exclaimed Lynn, as he and the others ran to their rooms to put on their superhero outfits.
A couple of minutes later, they were all suited up, and ready to roll. Levi had added a stealth covering to their van, so that when they went on a mission, it looked completely different. It was now tyrian purple (really dark shade of purple), with the windows being a scarlet tint.
They were ready for action! Well, at least Levi hoped they were.
Back at Tools n' Tidbits, the old woman had pretty much trapped every employee in the store. As she reached the steel parts section, to look for the gears, she was met by a "surprise attack" from an employee.
"*flicks a staple off of her* Really? A staple gun. That was the best you could do?" asked the old woman, mocking the employee's weapon choice.
"Well uh..I-" The employee was cut off by the same net attack that trapped the employees at the front of the store.
"Now. Let's get down to business." said the old woman, as she stepped over the trapped employee, and scanned the shelves in front of her until she found what she was looking for, micro gears to complete a contraption of hers.
The only thing was that they were really high up, and this woman wasn't exactly the tallest. Normally in hardware stores, when a customer needed help getting something, an employee would help them. But since that obviously wasn't an option she needed another plan.
"Hmm...Note to self, build a grapple gun when I get back home." said the old woman.
"You're not going back home lady! You're going to jail!" exclaimed Magnetta, as she suddenly appeared from one of the ceiling lights.
"Whoa! Nice effects! Hey, how'd you do that without one of those fancy TV screens?" asked the old woman.
"What are you talking about? I'm Magnetta! I have electromagnetic powers!" said Lincoln.
"Electro what? Pfft! Fancy schmancy stuff!I don't need that! I make my own things! Wanna see?" said the old woman, as she pulled out a metal collar, only for it to be smashed on the ground, by Mister Mystic's mind.
"No! Ol' Charlie! You'll pay for that!" said the old woman, now angry.
"I don't think so." said Ms. Elastic, as she had stretched her arm out and placed her hand on the woman's shoulder.
"Hmph. You don't tell me what to do!" said the old woman, as she released a rope trap from her utility belt that captured Ms. Elastic, and sprang her back a few feet.
"Honey! Are you okay?" asked Mr. Shift.
"I'm fine! Super Thunder attack!" exclaimed Ms. Elastic.
"Wait! Shouldn't we know how-" Perceptor was cut off as all of his siblings attacked the woman at the same time.
"You're not gonna get away with this brah!" said Rockstar, trying to keep her pinned.
"Yeah! We got her pinned real good! There's no way she's getting out of this!" said Smackdown confidently.
"Wait. Did you guys hear that?" asked Mister Mystic, as suddenly, all the Louds were punched off the woman by her boxing glove attachments.
"Ow! That one hit below the belt!" said Magnetta in pain.
"But you don't wear a belt!" said Hailstorm.
"Shut up Hail!" said Magnetta peeved.
"As I was saying, we should've had a strategy before we ran in like this." said Perceptor.
"We don't need any strategies! We literally got this dinosaur!" said Tornado.
"Uh, Tornado? That's a woman." said Trace, obviously confused on what dinosaur means.
"You really are an idiot." said Tornado.
He decided to put the matter aside and blasted the woman back into the shelf with a powerful wind gust. Upon her impact with the shelf, a ladder at the very top was dropped right next to her.
"Oh! Well, this is my lucky day! Now I can get up there!" said the old woman.
"Oh no you don't!" exclaimed Magnetta, as she used her magnetic powers to move the ladder away from the woman.
"Nice move lass." said the old woman.
"And here's a better one!" said Smackdown, as he suddenly charged at the old woman.
"No Smackdown! Wait!" shouted Perceptor, as he foresaw the events that would happen if Smackdown charged at the woman, and they didn't look good.
As Smackdown approached, at the last second, the woman moved out the way, and his fist collided with the shelf instead. This time, the micro gears the woman needed dropped down as a result of the impact.
"Bingo!" said the old woman, as she rushed over and pocketed the micro gears. "Oh yeah! These'll do nicely! Well uh, it's been nice knowin' you, whoever you are. I've got some tinkering to do!" said the old woman, as he started to race out the store, but was stopped by Mr. Shift. He had shape shifted into a huge dragon.
"You're not going anywhere! Unhand those gears!" commanded Mr. Shift.
"Oh please! No one's scared of a pink dragon!" said the old woman, as she deployed a stink bomb that filled the hardware store with noxious gas.
Mr. Shift and the other Louds started coughing and gagging from the fumes, as the woman made her escape.
15 minutes later, the police showed up at the scene. As one of the police officers opened the door, he immediately regretted it as the stink from the bomb was finally released from its enclosed space.
"Um...*coughs* I wouldn't advise going in there right now Chief." said the police officer who opened the door, looking rather ill.
"Nonsense! We have to go in! There could be hostages!" said the Chief.
"Maybe we could wait for the smell to dissipate a bit ma'am." said Asst. Chief Peters.
Just then, the smell was blown out of the store by a huge rush of wind. Tornado then emerged, coughing, but not seriously sick.
"Oh! You guys are here! Did you catch her?" asked the Chief eagerly.
"Um, no ma'am. We didn't. She got away." said Tornado, admittedly quite disappointed in himself.
"Oh I see. Well, no one's perfect. I'm sure you at least kept everyone safe." said the Chief, trying to be optimistic.
"Wait! Don't run! It wasn't our fault!" exclaimed Trace, as he watched most of the employees flee the store, due to the horrible smell.
Tornado then looked back at the Chief with a 'This is literally a mess right now' smile.
Back at the Loud House, there were major arguments in process.
"It was your fault she got away!" exclaimed Leif.
"How was I supposed to know she would move?" said Lynn, trying to defend herself.
"That's literally the same thing Jacqueline did to you at the power plant. You always do that Lynn." said Loki.
"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 Luke.
"Oh what would you know, Mr. 'Guitar Hero minus the guitar!'" said Lynn, mocking Luke.
"That was weak Lynn." said Linka.
"Yeah dude." said Luke.
"Well at least I actually tried to catch the grandma!" said Lynn, looking directly at Linka when he said that statement.
"What are you trying to say?" said Linka.
"All I'm saying is, you can't talk to me about teamwork when all you did tonight was move a ladder! What good are your powers anyway! You can't fight with them!" said Lynn, getting all up in Linka's face.
"Oh yeah? *uses her magnetic powers to bring the kitchen knives to her* You wanna see what I can do with them?!" asked Linka, about to lose it.
That's when the parents stepped in to break up the fight.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Time out kids! There's no reason to fight!" said Rita.
"Your mother's right guys. We can't blame any single person for this." said Lynn Sr.
"You're absolutely right father. Each of us is to blame." said Levi.
"Thank you Levi-Wait, what?" said Lynn Sr. confused.
"Once again, we didn't work together! I mean, look at the display in there! No co-ordination, no communication, just jumbled ideas and actions mixed into this mess you call a team. Now look, you all can ignore this if you want, but the reason we were defeated tonight is because we had no unity. Everyone has to work together in order to run a TEAM. And Lynn, there's no I in there at all." said Levi, as he left the rest of the Louds in shock, and ascended up the stairs to his room.
The next afternoon, the final bell rang at Royal Woods Middle School, and all the kids rushed out of there in a heartbeat. Lane and Lynn had met up after their final classes and were talking about the events of last night.
"I mean, it wasn't my fault! I was just trying to make sure the lady didn't get away! I can't afford to have any L's on my winning streak!" said Lynn, trying to justify her position.
"Uh-huh. You know Lynn, did it ever occur to you that maybe you could get more W's if you stopped focusing on winning so much?" asked Lane.
"What are you trying to say?" asked Lynn confused.
"Look Lynn, I get that you're competitive and whatever but, if you actually tried to fight with the team, we could all score a W. Levi made a pretty good point last night. We really didn't have a plan." said Lane.
"Okay! So, we didn't have a plan. Big deal! There's nothing wrong with winging it!" said Lynn.
"Maybe with a football game, but, we're talking about a mission here Lynn! That's no time to wing anything! Linka was right about you. You're really not a team player." said Lane.
"Look, I don't wanna talk about this anymore alright? Just drop it." said Lynn.
Just then, the two of them heard car honking and screaming coming from downtown.
"Sounds like there's trouble again..." said Lane.
"And I'm gonna get the jump on it! See ya bro!" said Lynn, as he raced off from his older brother
"Wait! Lynn! Dang it! Why is he so stubborn?" said Lane.
Meanwhile, in the middle of the street, the old woman from last night, was blocking traffic. This time, she had on an elaborate metal walker, with mechanical arms attached to it. These arms could be rotated by the micro gears she had stolen last night.
"*honks car horn* Get out the road!" yelled a male driver.
"Yeah, you old coot!" yelled a female driver.
"Maybe I would move, if you were a bit nicer. Plus, that's not my name!" said the old woman.
"Then what is your name? I wanna know who I'm personally delivering this L to." said Smackdown.
"Oh! It's one of you little boys! Ain't this a surprise! Where's your family?" asked the old woman.
"None of your business! And I'm not a little boy! The name's Smackdown! Now, what's your name?!" asked Smackdown, fed up at this point.
"Well, it would be rude of me not to tell you, so here it is! My name is Vintage Gadget! Hahahaha!" said Vintage Gadget.
"*smirks* Vintage is right. You look old. Shouldn't you be in a retirement home somewhere?" asked Smackdown.
"Haha. Very funny. I swear you young'uns just have no respect these days! I just got bored at home! I'm a handywoman, and so I just built these here contraptions you see here! I'm just gonna test them and see what they can do! Like this!" said Vintage Gadget, as he pressed a button that shot out a grappling hook, that broke the glass of a shop nearby.
"Haha! Told you I'd make that grappling hook!" said Vintage Gadget.
"Well now I'm gonna make you regret showing your face in this town!" exclaimed Smackdown, as he lunged at the old timer and landed on her metal walker.
"Shoo! Shoo! Ain't no place for rude little boys on my inventions! Git!" said Vintage Gadget, as she directed the metal arms at the front of his walker to fling Smackdown off of it.
Smackdown went flying through the air, but was saved by...a hand?
"Gotcha!" said Ms. Elastic, as she rescued her son by the use of her flexible limbs.
"Looks like Mom just gave you a HAND Powerhouse." said Spectrum.
"How'd you guys know where I was?" asked Smackdown.
"Spectrum ran home and told us." said Magnetta.
"And then I called Mom and Dad to let them know." said Tornado.
"By the way, I need to make a more efficient communication link between us. But that's a side note." said Perceptor.
"Yeah. On a main note, what were you thinking dude?!" asked Rockstar.
"You could've been seriously hurt honey. That was a pretty bad lapse in judgment." said Ms. Elastic.
Smackdown was about to say something, when he suddenly thought about what he had got himself into. He then let out a defeated sigh as Magnetta approached him.
"That was pretty dumb Smackdown." said Magnetta.
"I know. And here you come about to rub it in." said Smackdown.
"Well, I would if all of us didn't have to learn the same thing. We all have problems working as a team Smack. This family's dysfunctional. But we've gotta work together through our dysfunction." said Magnetta.
"Yeah...I see what you're saying. Look, I'm sorry guys. I've been acting like an idiot these past couple of days." said Smackdown.
"A little more than usual." said Tornado.
"Tornado come on! He's about to apologize! Don't ruin this!" said Magnetta.
"Alright. I'm sorry bro. Go on." said Tornado.
"Yeah, I know I'm not exactly a team player all the time. I just wanna be the one who wins in the end!" said Smackdown.
"But that's just it Smackdown. We all realized that when we work together, we ALL win. As a team." said Magnetta.
"A team huh?" asked Smackdown.
The other Louds nodded their heads 'yes'.
"Yeah, you're right. It's time I started acting like I'm apart of one! Thunder Strikers! What's our plan?" asked Smackdown.
"I'm glad you asked." said Perceptor.
Vintage Gadget wasn't even paying attention, when she was blindsided by Ms. Elastic and Mr. Shift's couple combo.
Ms. Elastic stretched her arm out as a distraction, while Mr. Shift had shape shifted into a screwdriver, and unscrewed two of the bolts on the walker's right leg.
The walker then leaned to the right side, which caught Vintage Gadget off guard. Before she had a chance to escape, Hailstorm quickly surrounded the walker with a mountain of snow. The rest of the Strikers then formed a tight circle around her.
"Guess my fun's over then." said Vintage Gadget, like this whole thing was a game. Which it probably was to her.
The police showed up a couple minutes later, and arrested Vintage Gadget. They also took her walker and gadgets in as evidence.
"Thank you Thunder Strikers! I guess you did catch that grandma after all huh?" said the Chief.
"Yes we did Chief, because we worked together as a team." said Magnetta, as her family nodded in agreement with her statement.
"Haha! A super family! You guys are very unique to Royal Woods! Well, take care! I gotta go process this old coot." said the Chief, pointing at Vintage.
"Alright! See you later Chief! Thunder Strikers, what do you say we go home and get some dinner!" said Ms. Elastic.
"YAY!" exclaimed the Loud kids, as they raced to the van.
"What are you cooking for dinner honey?" asked Mr. Shift.
"I'm not sure. I'll wing it." said Ms. Elastic.
"So that's where Lynn gets it from." said Mr. Shift slyly.
"Don't start with me honey." said Ms. Elastic, playfully punching her husband's arm.
The couple then continued walking towards their van, where their kids were waiting.
And that will do it for the 50th episode of Super Louds: The Series! I hope you guys enjoyed this one and I apologize if it was a little long.
This was meant to be a tribute of sorts to my very first episode for those of you who remember it, and I decided to change it up a bit by flipping dimensions.
I'm pretty sure the Thunder Strikers are gonna be a one time thing, but if you guys want to see more of the genderbent team, let me know in a review!
Tarantula's Tales is next for sure! Don't worry, it's coming.
Alright, this outro's getting pretty long, so I'm gonna cut it! Thank you guys for reading and I'll see you all next time! Peace!
Only 3 more episodes left until Season 3! Woo!
