Spells and Louds
Chapter 26: New Life and Old Memories
On the following morning at Spellman Estate, Linka awakens, she sees her brother Lincoln stretching as he wakes up, Lincoln turns to see his twin (sort of) already up "Morning sis" greets Lincoln "Morning bro" replies Linka, Linka gets off of her bed and looks outside of the balcony, Lincoln approaches her "First morning of your new life" says Lincoln "Yeah, it is" replies Linka
Lincoln lets Linka use the bathroom first, after she was done Lincoln took the bathroom, after both finish showering and changing into their daytime clothes, they leave the bedroom and run into Luna, Leni and Sunset who are already dressed for the day "Morning Linka" they greet "Morning guys" replies Linka, they all head downstairs to the kitchen
Upon arrival they see their mom, Gwen, already feeding Lily "Morning kids" greets Gwen "Morning mom" they all reply, breakfast as already on their plates, bacon wrapped sunny side up eggs and a glass of juice (How their dad makes it is unknown), as they eat their breakfast, Neil enters from the backdoor "Morning kids" greets Neil "Morning Dad/Pops" they reply
Then Neil sees Linka "First day to school in a new life huh?" asks Neil "More like, first day in a new life, in a new world" replies Linka, Neil chuckles "I talked with the principal, you're now officially a student of Royal Woods Elementary" says Neil "Thanks dad, I kinda figured you'd do that" replies Linka, after eating breakfast, they all collect their school supplies and head off to school
Linka is sitting on the side car of Lincoln's bike, behind them was Leni, Luna and Sunset in Leni's ford Edsel, Lincoln and Linka arrive at Royal Woods Elementary, where they are greeted by Lucy, Lola, Lana and Lisa "Hi Linka" they greet "Hey guys" replies Linka, Lucy approaches her "So, how are you doing so far?" asks Lucy "I'm doing well, just a few nightmares, but I'm good" replies Linka
Lincoln was a bit concerned for his new sister, she had a small nightmare last night, Lincoln was hoping it wasn't too serious, after the fall of her Loud family, she still needs to try and move on from the suffering she went through, and she has a phobia of squirrels now "Well we better get inside" says Lincoln, they all nod in agreement and head into the school
They all go their separate ways, except for Lincoln and Linka, Lincoln shows Linka's locker was next to his, while their putting their things away, Lincoln gets ambushed from behind by Jordan "Got ya! Handsome!" yells Jordan, Lincoln overpowers her and kisses her lips, Linka just watches and smiles 'They are so smitten for each other' Linka in her thoughts
Then they see their friends "Hey guys!" says Lincoln and Jordan, their friends greet them back, but then they were shocked to see Linka "So the rumors are true!" says Mollie "Lincoln's got himself a twin sister" says Kat "You mean a sister from another world" says Stella "You sure she's not a clone?" asks Zach "She sure does have some similarities with Lincoln" says Liam
"Hello" says Linka, as they all greet her, Clyde arrives and is shocked to see Lincoln's girl version "Hi there, you must be Clyde" says Linka, Clyde gets nervous "Well, uh, yeah! I'm Clyde! And you are?" asks Clyde nervously "Linka Spellman, I'm Lincoln sort of twin sister" says Linka, Clyde starts to sweat a little "Oh wow, that's great, well, I gotta go!" says Clyde as he hides in the boys bathroom
They all look confused "What was that about?" asks Rusty "Oh, you know clyde" says Sadie, then they start talking to Lincoln's sister "So, do we have gender bent versions where you were from?" "What's mine like?" "Is mine a pretty little lady?" "I hope mine likes what I like" they all start asking her, Linka was happy to answer their questions
Meanwhile in the boy's bathroom, Clyde looks at himself in the mirror "Come on Clyde, get it together, so what if she looks like Lincoln, and why she smells so nice and has that cute chipped tooth" then Clyde starts to daze into love sickness, then he realizes something was terribly wrong "Oh no! I think I'm in love with Linka!" says Clyde in panic "Does that mean I think Lincoln is beautiful too?"
At class Mrs. Johnson was surprised by Linka's presence and she was just like her brother, as smart and clever as Lincoln, Clyde just looks at her, during dodge ball, thanks to Jordan and Lincoln, she was able to throw and dodge in the gym, giving their team a win, Clyde stares at Linka not knowing the scorpion formation just moved, and he's out of the game
Then came lunch, Lincoln and Jordan's friends are chatting with Linka, Lincoln was happy that his sister made new friends, then all of a sudden Clyde approaches "Hi Clyde" greets Lincoln "Yeah, okay" says Clyde as he ignores Lincoln 'that was weird' Lincoln to his thoughts, Clyde then sits next to Linka "Oh hi, Clyde" greets Linka, Clyde gets nervous again and sweaty, then he gets up and runs off
"What was that about?" asks Jordan, Lincoln was getting suspicious about Clyde, later in science class, Lincoln, Jordan and Linka partnered up, then Clyde arrives "Hey guys, mind if join in?" asks clyde, Lincoln and Jordan looks at him confused "Umm, sure" they reply "Cool!" says Clyde, they begin on the chemical compound, but Clyde was too busy staring at Linka, to not realize "Boom!"
Scene change to nurses office, Lincoln, Jordan, Linka and Clyde are being treated for their burns "What the heck Clyde?!" yells Lincoln, who's holding an ice pack to his head "Sorry guys, my bad" says Clyde "What's with you today?" asks Jordan "I don't know what you're talking about?" replies Clyde nervously, but Linka can see something was up
"Clyde, I know your gender bent version, Claire McBride, and you two aren't that much different, so I know when your acting odd, what's going on?" asks Linka, Clyde gets sweaty, his eyes start to dilate and then "Linka, I think I'm in love with you!" says Clyde, he then covers his mouth, they all look at him in disbelief and shock "This was unexpected" said Jordan
"I'm sorry, what?" asks Linka "It's just, you're so pretty and cute, you're white hair, you're chipped tooth, the way you smile, you're laugh is just so contagious and the way you walk is so enchanting, you are the most beautiful thing I've ever seen!" says Clyde, Jordan looks at Lincoln and all of his features, while Lincoln looks at Clyde with shock
Linka blushes scoots away from him "Clyde, I'm flattered by your words, but" Clyde looks at her with sadness "I'm not looking for a relationship yet" said Linka, Clyde's heart shatters like Lynn's baseball hitting a glass vase "What?" asks Clyde "You're a sweet guy, it's just that, I don't think I wanna go for a guy like you, and you kinda remind me of Claire, it's just weird" says Linka
Clyde then starts to panic "but, but I …. We and …. Are you sure?" asks Clyde, Linka nods "Sorry Clyde, I can see you as a friend only" said Linka, and Clyde's shattered heart is getting run over by Lola's pink car "Oh, okay then" says Clyde "But you never know, someday we could be a thing right?" said Clyde, Linka then backs away from Clyde
Suddenly Clyde's nose starts to bleed, to Lincoln this could only mean one thing "Oh you gotta be kidding me!" said Lincoln, Clyde covers his nostril, even Linka's seen this before when Claire sees Loki "Oh dear god no" said Linka, even Jordan backs up, they all look at Clyde smiling, Lincoln approaches him "You are still a friend, but stay away from my sister!" Lincoln threatens
Clyde feels tense from those words "Yeah, sure thing" Clyde said nervously, Lincoln, Jordan and Linka walk away as the last bell rings, Clyde just watches Linka walk away "Someday" said Clyde with hearts in his eyes, as they all leave the school, Jordan decides to hang out with Lincoln and Linka at their house, she boards the side car with Linka and they drive off, with Clyde watching them from a distance
The kids arrive at Spellman estate, driving alongside them was Leni, Luna and Sunset, they park their vehicles and walk towards their house "So how was your first new day in school?" asks Leni "Let's see, I passed my first quiz, wasn't that hard, I aced at dodge ball, I made lots of new friends and, what else? Oh yeah! Clyde has a crush on me" said Linka looking annoyed
"What?!" they all yell "It's true" replied Lincoln "Nose bleed and all" said Jordan "Oh no!" said Leni "This is gonna be a problem" said Luna "If I can recall what you guys told me about Clyde, he gets a nose bleed, acts like a robot and passes out?" asked Sunset, they all nod in response "Just like Claire" said Linka "Whoa, that guy needs help" said Sunset
They enter the house where they see Neil, Gwen, Leon, Sergei, Martin, Victor and a stranger on the couch in a cowboy attire "Mom, Dad, what's going on? Who is this guy?" asked Lincoln "Kids, this is Jesse McCree" said Neil, Lincoln's eyes go wide "What?" said Lincoln "Take a seat guys" said Sergei, they all sit next to their parents and see the cowboy drinking coffee
"So, you guys are the heroes of this world?" asked McCree, they nod in response "Interesting, where I'm from, we became heroes after a crisis" said McCree, then a silence remains "So, you're the hero of Overwatch?" asked Lincoln "Call me a member of the Blackwatch division, but yeah, I was a member of Overwatch" replies McCree
"Wow, dig the outfit bro" said Luna "What happened to your arm?" asked Leni, McCree just looks at them and chuckles "You can say, I may have had a little trouble with a big robot" said McCree, Lincoln knows what he means, but he'd rather not mention it "so, you guys doing well as heroes?" asked McCree, they then tell him all of the amazing stuff they did across the realms
McCree was amazed at what these young heroes have done, from battling evil adults, fighting off ghosts and clashing with giant transforming robots "Well I'll be damned, you guys really are heroes, kinda reminds me of the good old days" said McCree as he places his empty cup on the table, they all look at him with concern "Do you miss the old days?" asked Jordan
McCree sighs, he remembers when he was a member of the Deadlock gang with Ashe, being a member of Overwatch, all of his friends and colleagues and then he remembers when Reyes compromised their mission to stop Talon "Let's just say, that there are something not meant to be remembered again" said McCree, they all understood, especially Linka
Then a raven enters the room and morphs into the Guardian "So, this is the guy who came here?" asked Gyro, they all nodded, Gyro looks to McCree "I'm gonna guess, you're the man who can take me back home, am I right?" asked McCree "Indeed I am" said Gyro, McCree sighs "Very well then, but before I go, is it alright if I do some more sightseeing of this place?" asked McCree
Gyro was getting suspicious, but he also knows of the world where he comes from, the fact that Overwatch is recalling its members, but McCree believes it's not gonna go well "Alright then, but I suggest they come along with you" said Gyro, McCree looks at the Spellman family, he smiles "Well alright then, at least I have some company along for the ride" said McCree
They all arrive at Ketchum Park, Sergei and Leon volunteered to buy lunch, while Leni makes a call to Lori and the others about their new guest, the Louds (except for the parents who are at work) arrive at the park "Hey guys" greets Lincoln "Hi Lincoln/Linky" the Louds reply, then McCree gets up from the bench "Well, these are the people you once called family" said McCree
They were shocked at the cowboy, his outfit, his robot arm and his intense gesture "Hello, I'm Lori Loud, I'm the eldest and also known as Volcana" said Lori "Well it's a pleasure to meet you" said McCree, he eventually gets greeted by the other louds, though he tries not tell everything to Lisa, but he was okay with Lana, since she likes cowboy stuff as well
Leon and Sergei return with sandwiches and pie, they all gather to eat lunch, after eating, that's when they hear a store alarm, they all get ready to hero up, but then they were halted by McCree "Hang back folks, let me take care of this" said McCree, he walks towards the alarm's location, Lincoln can only know as something awesome was about to happen
At a nearby convenient store, three ski masked men, threaten the cashier and his wife with pistols, the couple put money into the bag, until the door's bell rings, they all turn to see a cowboy, the men point their guns at him "Hey now folks, let's not start some trouble here, this is a friendly town from what I heard" said McCree
The three men see McCree holding his gun, one of them then points his gun back to the couple "Put your weapon away or I shoot their brains out" yells the robber, the couple beg for mercy, McCree did not like this at all, so he puts his Peacekeeper Revolver away, Lincoln and the others arrive outside of the store, but all they can do is watch
McCree lowers his head "It's high noon" said McCree, an ominous silence is then heard, the three robbers don't know what's happening, they still point their weapons at the cowboy and the couple, the silence is still in the area, what they don't know is that McCree is waiting for the clock, silence still, the heroes were confused, but not Lincoln "This is gonna be good" said Lincoln
Silence still, the three men start to sweat, McCree is still looking down, and a tumble weed stumble by them and ….. the clock strikes twelve, in quick motion, McCree draws out his Peacekeeper and fires three rounds on the men, hitting them by either their legs or shoulders, the three men go down in agonizing pain, and just as McCree spins his gun and puts it back into its holster
The heroes come inside, Neil, Leon and Sergei pick up the robbers and call the police, the couple were greatful for McCree, as they leave the store, they watch as the cops arrest the men and take them away (their gonna need a hospital first) they return to the park, where they start asking him how he just did that "It's simple really, you just gotta have a Dead eye" said McCree
They take McCree to many places around their town, even to Dairy Land which isn't the best thing for him, he did not want to lose his hat or his lunch, they showed him their powers and what they can do with their Pokémon, McCree was amazed at the powered animals, especially seeing a little bunny rabbit unleash an ice breath
He even hears of the stories Linka's been through, McCree felt as if he understood her, the fact that she was betrayed by her family, was like how his family was torn apart after the attack on the Overwatch base, McCree thought that some part of him should've answered the recall, but he couldn't bear the memories of the past or his old friends
Later it was time for McCree to head back home, they all gathered around the great gate "You know folks, this has been something, like when I was with my old team" said McCree "Well we do treat each other as family" said Gwen, McCree chuckles "Yeah, family" said McCree, then Gyro opens the Great Gate "It's time Jesse" said Gyro
Before McCree leaves he looks back at them "You all take care now, especially you Linka" said McCree, Linka waves to him "Take care dude!" "Good luck over there!" "Stay safe Jesse" "Rock on Cowboy!" "Serve 'em some justice McCree!" then Linka speaks "Do the right thing Jesse" said Linka, the cowboy smirks "I'll keep that in mind little lady" said McCree "Till we meet again, partners" and with that he's gone
On the other side McCree sees Ashe's bike "Same as I left it" said McCree, then he remembers what Linka said to him from before "Even if you think something bad is gonna happen to your Overwatch friends, just know this, no matter what force gets in your way, you get through it together, as a family" McCree looks to the stars
"You were right little lady, the World needs more heroes, and I need my family, and right now they could use all the help they can get" McCree starts the bike and drives off, into the night "Hang tight Overwatch! Here comes Jesse McCree!"
Later at Royal Woods, night has already fallen, the Spellman's are all fast asleep, and so are the louds, meanwhile at FutureTech, Martin and Victor are closing up shop "We finished the new sickle walker" said Martin "At least it's better than the Reaper Prototype!" said Victor in annoyance "Yeah, I don't know what went wrong there" said Martin as he goes through the blueprints
Just then they hear footsteps, Martin grabs a photon blaster and Victor readies his Tesla powers "Who's there?" asked Martin "Show yourself!" said Victor "I heard of you people, trying to advance into the society of technological advancements, perhaps you all need a little push into the future, if you wish to survive" said a mysterious voice
"Enough games! Who are you?" yells Martin, then out of the shadows is a baled man, with a beard and mustache and is wearing a trench coat "You need someone who can show you how to better aid the multiverse itself, there are battles to come and I am here to help you" said the stranger, Martin and Victor look at him with confusion "who are you?" they asked
"My name is Kane, I am the leader of the Brotherhood of Nod, the Guardian sent me here, but God told me, that my ascension was not meant to be, now my destiny is to bring good into the Realms" said Kane, this made the two FutureTech men confused, Kane smirks and two robotic soldiers come up from behind him "Let's begin shall we"
To be continued ….
