Spells and Louds
Chapter 8: Friend or Foe
Somewhere in the Arctic Circle, within the chambers of Naxxramas "Again" says the ArchLich, as Luna frost destroys another armored practice dummy with an ice blast, they've been training for two days and she has been improving "Your powers are increasing impressively" says K.T "Thanks, it feels nice learning more new moves" says Luna
"Now let's get on to the final lesson" says K.T "Wait! Are you sure I'm ready for this?" asks Luna "You manifested a meteor of Ice, you created ice chains, you single handedly created an ice berg and you have the ability to create a blizzard around you, it's time for the summoning ability" says K.T "Alright then" says Luna, she closes her eyes and focuses, remembering everything and everyone she has to protect
Her family, her home, the girl she loves and most importantly her brother "Lincoln" Luna whispers, she opens her eyes and blasts the ground with ice creating a twelve foot tall ice golem "And on your first try" says the Lich, the golem looks at Kel'Thuzad and attacks him, luckily he teleports away "control your monster miss frost" says K.T, Luna realizes what was happening "Stop!" says Luna the ice golem stops its fist, inches from the Archlich's face
"Too close" says K.T, the ice golem walks towards her and bows "Wow, now that's cool" says Luna "You can give it orders on who to attack and who to help, you've done it Luna" says Kel'Thuzad "I wouldn't have done it without you teach" says Luna, Kel'Thuzad chuckles "Our training here is done, I cannot teach you anymore, you may take your leave" says K.T, Luna looks to the golem and it collapses, she then hugs Kel'Thuzad who returns the embrace
Then she flies on her ice road home "I do miss being human" says the Archlich "Do you now?" says the mysterious voice, the Archlich doesn't turn "You shouldn't be sneaking up on me like that" says Kel'Thuzad "You've done well training the girl" says the cloacked figure "It is necessary for her to learn more about herself and the battle to come" says K.T, the figure then stands next to him "I shall report to the immortal council of what's been happening here, till we meet again old friend" says the figure as it turns into a raven "Farewell, guardian" says Kel'Thuzad
Meanwhile on some random volcanic island in the Pacific Ocean, FutureTech has set up a naval base near one of the volcanic islands in the pacific rim or ring of fire, for three weeks they have been experimenting project black volcano, and finally it was ready for testing, martin and victor enter a surveillance room "Alright let's get this thing started now, shall we" says martin
A drone hovers above the volcano "Okay then , evacuation boats are ready, energy shield generators prepped up and in case of emergencies speed dial to Luna Frost or Dana/Ice, Let's make some magic happen" says martin, victor looks at him confused "did you seriously just said that" says victor "What? Just trying to get in the mood!" says martin
The drone deploys a robotic arm carrying a dropper "steady" says martin, inside the dropper is an experimental chemical with the same elements as volcanic lava, only this one can suppress eruptions "And drop!" says martin as the drone squeezes the dropper, letting one lone orange liquid hit the lava, the drone then flies off
Everyone stands by for something to happen, then the ground and water start to shake "Oh man!" says victor "Everyone hold on!" says martin, then the eruption stops, they all get back to their feet, martin looks at the scanners "Sweet Jesus!" says martin "You see Jesus! That means were dead!" says victor "No look" says martin, victor approaches him and sees the volcanic measures have subsided
"It works!" says martin and everyone cheers for a successful project, later they start loading the containers containing what they call "Lava Neuro chemicals" into transport aircraft that will drop them on the mainland where they will be hauled by trucks an straight for FutureTech "Alright, Let's get the heck out of here" says martin
"Actually all aircraft on the area are full, we're gonna need to get back to the Hawaiian mainland if we're gonna catch a plane" says victor "Okay then, we better get first class" says martin "Don't worry brother, I'll get us first class, and scene skips to martin and victor in the plane, one problem a kid is kicking victors seat from behind and a baby is crying while her mom is asleep wearing headphones, both men are not amused "First class huh?" says martin in an angered tone "Sorry man" says victor
Meanwhile at royal woods Lori is driving away from the mall, until her phone goes off, she picks it up to see "bobby?!"she says and reads the text "Hey listen, Lincoln told me how miserable you are and how you're trying to redeem yourself for your past actions and trying to become a better big sister like you were supposed to, I guess maybe, we could start over, maybe try again to become a couple! Text me back if you want"
Lori couldn't believe it, bobby wants to be together with her again, then she stops smiling 'Lincoln's doing for me so I don't get depressed and I'm doing nothing for him in return, I don't think I deserve this, I just can't do it, I still hate myself for everything I've done for him' Lori then starts to cry, when she opens her eyes she's met by a large truck, both vehicles swivel to the right
Vanzilla lands safely near a grassy road while the truck drives on, Lori emerges from vanzilla and feels her head in pain, she touches her forehead to see a little bit of blood on it "Why didn't that kill me?" asks Lori to herself, she was still in pain, mentally in pain, believing that she deserves to be hated for nearly ending her brother's life and now her family is broken
As Lori returns to vanzilla she notices a red container has landed on the roof "How did I not see that earlier" says Lori, she tries to move the container off, but the safety latch comes off and she is smothered in hot liquid, Lori screams in pain as the chemicals pierce through her skin an 'this is it!' she thinks to herself and she is about to collapse, but then her right arm stops her and she's on her hands and knew now
She starts to feel strange like a burning pulse emanating within her, as she closes her eyes all she can think about was the pain she's caused, when she opens her eye again they turn red, her hair starts to extend and move like fire it also changes adding some reddish tone to her blonde, then lava starts to envelop her sealing her within, the lava hardens into rock, then explodes
The smoke clears revealing a woman in a dark red unitard that exposes her shoulders and reveals a little skin from a hole above her breasts, red gloves on both hands as well as dark red bracelets on her upper arms, she has red earrings and high heeled red boots and fire manifest from her hands "I am Lori, I am Volcana!" roars Lori
She staggers to stay upright, she looks at herself on vanzilla's glass, she touches her face and looks at her body 'Wow I'm hot! Literally!' Lori says to herself, then a pulsing pain surges in her brain "I …. Hate myself ….. For hurting …. My family" says Lori as she cries, then her eyes turn from sad to mad "But the one who started this!" her hands glow with lava "I hate Lynn Loud Jr.!" she looks at the distance with fire in her eyes, she turns to see the town and walks towards it, with the motive to destroy
Meanwhile martin and victor arrive at FutureTech "That was the worst flight ever" says martin "Hey I'm sorry okay!" says victor, martin opens his Mini-fridge to grab a Pepsi "Next time bring an extra helicopter!" says martin, he closes the door and turns to see Leni "Hi!" "Sweet mother of mercy!" martin falls over sending the soda to victors face
"Oh sorry for scaring you like that" says Leni as she lends out a helping hadn to martin "Thanks for the jump scare, what are you doing here Leni? " asks martin "Oh I thought maybe I can pick up the things Lincoln needs for his bike" says Leni "Really? Where's Lincoln?" asks Martin "Oh he's not here, he went to see Jordan with dad, so when I went to the garage I found a list of things Lincoln needs, so I thought I should be a good big sister and help him get these" says Leni
Martin takes the list and looks at it "Cold fusion rods, Titanium, high density steel" martin continues reading "Okay I guess we can load them onto your car" says victor "Thanks guys, can I help?" Leni says, martin and victor look at each other "maybe you should wait here, okay Leni" says martin, Leni looks down "Oh okay then" says Leni "Okay then, we'll be back, don't touch anything" says martin as they leave the room
Leni has been doing her best in being the best older sister, when Luna and Lincoln became heroes she was proud for them, she was glad to have a new sister who was exactly her age, then Dana and Becky are heroes as well, ever since then Leni has been feeling unhelpful lately, the only time she was helpful was inside the house, while her siblings are out saving the day, all Leni wanted to do was help
Leni looks around the lab and sees all the weird science stuff, she might not be the air headed Leni we all remember and love, but she's not that smart, at least she knows what's dangerous, but she spots something that doesn't seem dangerous, a plant in a pot
Leni approaches the little plant, it slowly opens into a beautiful flower, she notices the insects eating it's leaves, but then the insects stop and slowly die, the plants damaged parts slowly regenerate, as Leni gets a closer look the flower sprays her in the face, she jumps back rubbing her eyes, as she opens them everything becomes a blur "I think I'm gonna lay down for a while "says Leni as she collapses on a chair, a folder sits by the plant named Project: Ivy and is marked Failed
In town everyone Is doing their normal thing, but then the temperature gets hot like really hot, then the people look at the direction it's coming from, they spot a beautiful woman emitting a heat aura, objects near her start to melt, seeing her everyone starts to panic
Volcana looks around and sees all the civilians running for their lives "see they even hate what you've become" she says to herself and in a fit of rage she shoots out lava onto a hotdog stand, causing it to melt, she shoots out more lava that melts cars and lamp posts, she spots the news chopper and throws a volcanic fireball, the chopper dodges and flies off but the camera falls to the ground
Volcana catches it and looks at the camera "I am Volcana! Where is Lynn Jr.?!" she yells before melting the camera, the loud family look at Lynn "Young lady what did you do?!" asks Rita "I didn't do anything! I swear! I don't even know that fire chick!" says Lynn, Police are on the ground evacuating everyone and some of them are calling reinforcements while others try to shoot her
At FutureTech Martin and Victor head to the monitors and see the destruction "Who in the hell is that?" asks Victor "I don't know, but she looks hot!" says martin, Victor looks at him confused "What? I'm being honest" says martin, Victor notices something "Zoom in" the camera zooms in on Volcana and the two of them are shocked
"Lori?!" they both say "We gotta call the Spellman's now!" says martin "But how in the name of rocket science did she get her hands on those kind of powers?!" Victor looks in shock, the a soldier comes into the room "sir the truck carrying the Lava Neuro chemicals ha arrived, but there's one container missing" martin and victors pupils shrink "Oh shit!" they both say
Back in the town Volcana destroys everything in her path, she spots some teenage boys who were taking pictures of her, she smiles "Is it hot in here, or is it literally me!" says Volcana as she sends a blast of lava, the boys scream like little girls until they are protected by a wall of ice, Volcana looks at it in confusion, then the ice collapses and emerging was Ice (Dana)
"Okay little miss angry face, what gives?" says Ice "Well if it isn't Snow White!" Volcana smiles "That's a first" says Ice as she sends out an icicle barrage, but they melt before they reach Volcana "What?" says Ice in shock "Why would you bring ice, to a fire fight?!" Volcana sends out a lava shot, Ice disappears into a puddle and surfaces behind a building "Too close!" she says
Volcana looks around in anger "come on! Is there any other hero here who wants a fight!" says Volcana, she sees a family (Yates) and sends a volcanic wave at them, then Luna Frost gets in front and creates a massive wall of Ice, the goo thing is that it holds, Volcana stops her attack and smiles "Finally just who I was looking for" says Volcana
The ice wall breaks "Go! Get outta here now!" Luna frost commands, the Yates family makes a run for it "Luna Frost" says Volcana "Everyone already knows my name" Luna creates two ice swords "What makes you so different?!" says Luna "The names Volcana and I'm gonna bring the heat!" Volcana charges at her using lava, Luna frost jumps and lands behind her and punches her in the face, which surprisingly hurt Volcana
"What the what?!" says Volcana holding her left cheek "Guess I'm tougher than I look" says Luna frost, Volcana tackles Luna Frost and tries to blast her face with lava but then she disappears, Volcana sees Ice creating a frozen platform in which Luna Frost comes out of "Thanks Ice!" says Luna Frost "No problem" says Ice as her hands glow, the two heroines charge at Volcana
Meanwhile Lincoln, Jordan and Neil are on their way to the fight, they hear a transmission on the radio "McKenzie were on our way" says Neil "Guys listen the one attacking, Volcana its Lori!" says Victor "what?!" says Lincoln "We don't know how she actually made contact with project black volcano, but she is in full rage and when she was talking to the camera she was calling out Lynn Jr." says martin
Lincoln knew exactly what Volcana was doing, he has an idea how to stop her, he just hopes it works, the two vehicles speed up trying to catch up to the battle, at the town Fire arrives and helps Luna Frost and Ice "So who is she?" asks Fire/Becky "No clue dude, but she clearly has anger issues" says Luna Frost "I do not have anger issues!" says Volcana as she sends out a lava ball, the heroines dodge it in time, then Luna Frost and Ice both send out a snow blast combined with icicle barrage, Volcana retaliates by sending a lava wave, then fire hurls green homing fireballs that do no effect at all, Volcana then blasts fire with a lava shot sending her hurdling into a building, Fire wakes up only to see the lava harden
"Fire!" Luna and Ice call out, they turn to Volcana and send more frozen shots at her, Volcana slowly walks towards them as the ice shots evaporate, Volcana throws another lava casing which hits Ice and it quickly solidifies, Volcana was now in front of Luna Frost and punches her in the gut, Luna Frost tries to hit her but misses
Volcana delivers more punches to Luna's body and face, then she punches her so hard she hits a tree, Luna wakes up trying to regain her vision, she sees two red boots in front of her, then a hand grabs the front of her unitard and she's lifted up and sees a smiling Volcana "You know I would really like to destroy you right now" Luna frost growls at her "But you are Literally a waste of my time, my real target is that Lynn Loud Jr.!" says Volcana
Then Luna Frost realizes something 'Wait a minute! Did she just say literally? But the only person I know who says that is' Luna looks at her "Lori?" Volcana gets angry and punches Luna Frost sending her towards a car, Luna tries to get up "My name is not Lori and will never be!" Volcana ready's a lava meteor "Lori!" she stops and the meteor disappears
Volcana turns around to see Neil Davion Spellman, Jordan Rosato who removes her vizier and Freezer Burn who reveal himself to be "Lincoln!" says Volcana, Lincoln drops his mask and his blaster and approaches her, he stops a few feet from her "I know it's you Lori Loud" says Lincoln, Volcana shakes her head "No! Lori Loud is dead! I am Volcana now!" says the lava powered villain, Lincoln walks towards her, Volcana slowly backs up
Volcana's right hand turns to lava and points it towards Lincoln, who is inches from it "You stay back! I'm warning you!" Volcana threatens "I know" says Lincoln "Do it" they all look at him in shock "Lincoln!" Neil and Jordan yell "What?" says Volcana in confusion "Volcana may want me dead, but what about Lori Loud?" says Lincoln
"The oldest of the once 11 siblings, the one who drives them to where they want to go, the one who cares for her family, who wants to become the greatest in golf" Volcana starts to shed tears "The one I used to call sister" says Lincoln, Volcana wipes her tears away and looks angry again "I still remember, when I was very young, I used to call you mama" and that was it folks, hearing this shocks Neil, Jordan, Luna, Dana and Becky
Volcana lowers her arm and drops to her knees crying, Lincoln approaches her and feels her heat aura fading, slowly but carefully he hugs her, Lori then returns the hug "I'm sorry Lincoln!" says Lori "I'm sorry for driving you away, for hurting you, for being the worst sister ever!" Lincoln rubs her back and her moving hair "Shhhhh, It's okay Lori, I'm still here and I know you feel guilty" Lincoln breaks the hug and looks at Lori wiping a tear from her face "And I forgive you" Lincoln places a kiss on her forehead
The Heroines manage to break free from the rock casing, Luna tries to get up, then she sees a red gloved hand from Lori "Need help?" asks Lori she hasn't changed back yet, Luna smiles and accepts it "Sorry for fighting you" Lori apologizes "It's cool Lori, we were always fighting even when we were siblings" says Luna, then she punches Lori in her stomach "That was for hitting me!" says Luna Frost, Lori gets up "guess we're even" the two girls laugh
Neil approaches them "We need to figure out what happened to you" says Neil, then Fire and Ice approach them, Lori looks closely and realizes "Dana? Becky?" asks Lori in shock "Hey Lori!" they both say, suddenly Neil's phone goes off "Hello?" asks Neil "The fight's not over yet!" says victor "What?!" "Multiple energy signatures are head to your location!" says martin "Get ready for an incoming!" says victor, Neil puts the phone away and picks up Lincoln's blaster and mask
Lincoln looks at Neil "Dad?" he asks with concern, Neil tosses him the mask and blaster, the other notice this, Neil pulls out his photon blaster and a plasma pistol "Get ready for a fight!" says Neil, then massive lights glow at the park and manifest large alien like creatures with grey and black colors and blue glowing veins at the back of their heads, with razor sharp teeth, triangular like head pieces, four arms with mantis like claws and tentacle like hair from their back
Lincoln and Neil look in shock "Hybrid!" the others look at them in confusion "Alien genetics, Zerg and Protoss DNA combined!" says Neil "They serve a dead god!" Lincoln adds as he ready's his blaster to fire, the heroes get ready for battle Luna manifest two ice glaives, Dana creates two ice daggers, Becky creates two fire swords, Jordan enters the Arct mech and Volcana stands with them as her hands turn into lava
Then daydream shimmer shows up "What'd I miss? "She asks, they all look at her "Where were you?" asks Dana "I woke up from a nap and Lily wouldn't get off me" says Daydream "Sunset Shimmer?" says Volcana "Lori?!" Susnet responds "Okay, let's get to that later and kick their alien invading rear ends" says Neil, they all charge towards the roaring Hybrids
Back at FutureTech martin and victor head to the lab and look for something they can use against an alien invasion, as they open the door they are shocked at the sight in front of them. The entire room was filled with leafy vines and in the middle was a plant cocoon, they realized who might be in there "Leni!" suddenly the cocoon opens
Back in the fight the team is tearing through the hybrid with ease, Lincoln and Neil said that they have to be destroyed, then Luna summons two Ice golems to join the fight "Whoa" they all say, until another energy manifest and it reveals a creature that looks almost similar to the hybrid
Has the same triangular head shape but its color is grey with a few blue areas, no mouth at all, glowing eyes, has two arms instead of four, the tentacle like hair are now glowing wings of energy and it's hovering "Hybrid Reaver!" says Neil "Focus all firepower on it! We take out the reaver, we take out the rest of the hybrid" says Neil "He's the one controlling these mindless aliens!" Lincoln adds
The team send Fire, Lava, plasma, photon, Energy, bullets, Ice and missiles directly at the reaver, but they're attacks do nothing to it "Insignificant fools!" the reaver says as it rises and musters enough energy and sends it outward knocking the heroes off their feet, as they get up they see the reaver levitate above Lincoln
The reaver uses telekinesis to hold him in front of his face "you are one ugly freak!" says Lincoln "you all wear these disguises, and you think that makes you heroes?!" the reaver says "Well then let me show you what happens to heroes" the reaver readies its claws, but then he's hit by multiple icicle and lava shards, causing it to roar and drop Lincoln, the heroes send more attacks towards it
The reaver then glows its eyes, Luna screams in pain while holding her head, so does Neil, Lincoln, Jordan, Sunset, Dana, Becky and Lori "Psionic mind blast!" says Neil "You pathetic wretches, no mere living creature can stop a hybrid! Kill them!" the reaver commands the other hybrid, they all get ready to slash them with they're claws
Then one of the hybrids stays still, vines start to grow around its neck choking its life out, soon more vines come out of the ground and wrap themselves around the hybrid army "What is this?!" the reaver back away, when the vines finish wrapping them up poisonous spikes come out and kill the aliens, the vines let go of them as they're bodies drop to the grass, the grass also starts to feast on them
The Reaver was now all alone and scared, releasing the heroes from his grasp, they also look at the plants who then create an aroma that heals them "What mere creature has this sort of power?!" the reaver looks around "No creature" they all turn to see a tall figure that comes out of the shadow smiling "How about a plant" she says while petting a venus fly trap
The team recognizes her as Leni, but she's different she's wearing a one piece strapless swim suit made of plants, she has gloves that reach her elbows and are also made of plants, knee high boots also made of plants, a bundle of roses are sitting on the top left side of her hair and leaves are scattered on her hair as well, she summons vines that wrap around the reaver, the creature tries to use psionic mind blast
"Really, you think a plant mind can be controlled, Plants follow nature and you are not nature!" says Leni as she commands the vines to crush the alien "Who …. Are you?!" the reaver asks, Leni walks towards it "Call me Ivy!" she then leaps backwards "Now guys!" says Ivy, they all send an all-out barrage on the reaver which then explodes
As the dust clears they see that all the hybrid have been destroyed, they all look at Leni "What happened to you?" asks Neil, Leni blushes "It's a long story!" says Leni, then she notices "Lori?" Lori just looks at her in shock "Hey Leni" says Lori, soon camera crew arrive, Freezer Burn and Neil explain the situation and that Volcana was just a misunderstood person and that's he will be part of the team as well as ivy
Later at FutureTech they run scans on both Leni and Lori, after the results they come to a conclusion that both were accidents and they eventually find vanzilla and the empty container, with Lori as a new member of the team she had to control her anger when she went home otherwise it's gonna end bad, Leni explained why she was at FutureTech, the Spellman's felt bad that Leni wanted to help out with their work, but she forgave them, she knew what they do is dangerous, but now she can join in the danger a the team of Freezer Burn, Luna Frost, Arct Aurora, Fire, ice, Volcana and Ivy, the Royal Defenders!
Meanwhile at an abandoned warehouse, Chandler watches from a TV, the whole alien incident "Seems they're getting stronger and expanding" says Chandler "It appears they are" says Sargeras, then they hear an explosion they turn around to see Hank, Hawk, Stan and Steak destroying barrels with their new powers and laughing dumbly
"Why did we need those guys again?" Chandler asks his master "Smart beings are hard to control, whereas these low minded brutes are easy to manipulate" the Legion master replies, then his goons look at chandler "Hey boss! When do we get to see this master!" says Hank "Yeah! We wanna know who he is!" steak adds
Then the dumpster near them ignites into green fire and talks "You called to me!" says Sargeras, Chandler smirks and walks towards the fire "Gentleman meet Sargeras, the creator of the burning legion, our master" says Chandler "Do not worry my minions, you will have your revenge, I assure you" the Sargeras laughs evilly along with chandler and everyone else
