Spells and Louds
Chapter 53: Crowning Hijinks
(Spellman Estate. Saturday)
Just you're normal Saturday. Where everyone can just relax for a bit. There have been no reports of any criminal activity, so police can go back to doing their normal patrol. Though recent crimes were just small purse thieves to shoplifters.
For the Spellman's and their hero friends. This was a time to relax, from school and crime fighting. There have been no reports from the Guardian of any interdimensional problems either.
Lincoln has just finished his homework (Guess he wanted to do it on a Saturday). "And done" said Lincoln.
Just then he hears a knock on the door. "Come in" said Lincoln. The door opens to reveal Luna. "Hey bro, I was wondering if you were done with your homework" said Luna.
"Actually I am now. Why what's up?" asked Lincoln. "Well, Sunset is busy gaming with our uncles and dad and Timmy, Leni is at the mall doing her job, Linka said she was going to FutureTech for some reason, Mom is watching over Lily and all of our Pokémon are playing in the backyard" said Luna.
"Well. I guess I don't have any plans for today" said Lincoln.
"Jordan is also at the mall with her friends, I have no idea what Rusty is even up to, Liam's obviously busy at the farm, Clyde said that he, Zach and Penelope are going to another antique auction and Stella sent me a text earlier that she has a cold" said Lincoln.
"Well, I don't have any plans either" said Luna. "What do you say we both spend the day together? Bro and Sis!" said Luna.
Lincoln feels like there was more to this than Luna. But he wanted to make sure nothing was gonna go wrong. "Sure why not" said Lincoln.
Later they both meet outside. Lincoln preps his vulture. Then he sees Luna power up. "So I was thinking. How about we have a race to see who can reach the Royal Woods Music store first" said Luna.
Lincoln could feel excitement building up inside of him. "You're on!" said Lincoln.
But what they don't know that behind the great gate a small flash of light had just appeared. It was a warp spell and coming through was the demonic crown.
"Finally! I made it!" said the crown. "And it only took me ten hours to escape that stupid Gryphon and her babies!"
The crown then looks around and spots its host. "Luna!"
The crown then starts to hover towards her. But because its no longer in Azeroth and the whole planet is under heavy anti-magic. The crown collapses to the ground. "Are you kidding me?!" said the crown.
But it could still hover, like 2 inches. "This will have to do, my powers aren't in full capacity unless I find a host!" said the crown.
So it slowly hovers towards Luna, who doesn't even notice it. "Almost there and-" The crown gets run over by a car tire.
The vehicle is a government car and the driver was Victor. "Hey! Where's your sister? I was told to bring her to FutureTech" said Victor to Lincoln and Luna. "She's inside bro, waiting" replied Luna.
"Thanks" said Victor. He then drives straight towards the main gate of the house.
Lincoln and Luna prep themselves into racing position. "You ready?" asked Lincoln. "You know it man!" said Luna.
They both look ahead of them in serious. "On your mark! Get set! Go!" said Lincoln.
Lincoln drives off at full speed wand Luna creates an Ice road and speeds up. Leaving the flattened crown on the ground.
"Ow!" said the crown. It then uses its powers to revive itself. "At least this will only be the first time for me". But the crown notices they were gone and it also sees how far away they were.
"This is gonna be a long day for me!" said the crown as it hovers there. And then it gets grabbed by a magpie. "Not again!"
(Royal Woods Downtown)
Lincoln and Luna pass by multiple businesses and thank goodness there was no traffic. They both make an immediate stop at the music store.
"Guess that's a tie dude" said Luna. "Yeah, guess it is" said Lincoln. He parks his bike and deactivates his helmet. "So why are we here?" asked Lincoln.
"Well we both know about what happened to Mick yesterday and believe me I'm still a little bummed" said Luna s she looks down in sadness.
Lincoln knew something was up. "But I'm not gonna let that bring me down. So I wanted to come to the music stores around town to see if any of Mick's merch have sky rocketed in the price" said Luna.
"And you brought me here why?" asked Lincoln. "In case I get a breakdown, also I wanted to spend some time with my little bro" said Luna as she ruffles Lincoln's hair.
"Okay Luna. Let's go inside and maybe we'll find some music that could inspire both of us to make something" said Lincoln. "Right on man" replied Luna.
Both kids enter the store. But unbeknownst to them, in the sky a magpie is holding onto the Demonic crown. "This sucks!" said the crown.
The crown then sense Luna's presence. "She's here" said the crown as it looks down. But first it had to ditch its ride.
So the crown made a large flash blinding the magpie and letting go. "Yes! Success!" said the crown.
But then it realizes it's still in the air and it can't fly. The crown looks down. "Dang it!" said the crown as it falls.
The demon crown then turns itself in mid-flight but it lands into a trash can. Lincoln and Luna come out of the store.
"Talk about high prices in there" said Lincoln. "I know right! Four thousand dollars just for Mick's newest album!" said Luna. 'Also his last album' Luna says in her thoughts.
Lincoln gets on the bike and this time Luna hops into the side car. "Let's try another music store" said Luna,
They both ride off someplace else. The demon crown then surfaces from the trash can. "I'll get you my host!" said the crown. But it doesn't notice the gum stuck on its back and it smells like old hotdog.
The crown then hovers to them. Lincoln's Vulture is at full speed and the demon crown is trying to catch up. It is inches from reaching Luna. "Almost there!" said the crown.
But then it gets caught by a stray dog. "No!" The dog stops in the middle of the road and starts shaking the crown like it was a chew toy.
"Let go of me you stupid mutt!" said the crown. The dog then brings the crown to the park and chews on it under a bench. "This is gross!" said the crown.
Meanwhile Lincoln and Luna make it to another music store and just in luck Chunk was there too.
"Hey there you two" said Chunk. "Sorry that you had to hear about what happened to old Mick luv" said Chunk to Luna.
"It's cool man. I'm not letting his passing bring me down" said Luna. "We're just here to see how much all of Mick Swaggers music stuff is worth now" said Lincoln.
"Well, if I were you two. I'd go check on the guitars with his face painted on them. Now those are some high way robbery now" said Chunk as he leaves the store.
Meanwhile back at Ketchum Park. The demonic crown opens its eye and only sees Darkness. "The dog ate me" said the crown.
In truth, the crown is just buries underground. All of a sudden another dog digs up the crown. "Yes Freedom!" said the crown.
But the freedom is cut short as the dog grabs it. "Oh Come on!" said the crown. The dog then runs off and starts chewing on the crown again.
But then the dog catcher appears and the dog ditches the crown. "Thank you!" said the crown. It then slowly hovers away from the park. "Now to find that girl" said the crown.
But the crown gets run over by a black pick-up truck. "Why?!" said the crown in pain.
Lincoln and Luna leave the music store and head back to the vulture bike. "Chunk was definitely right about those axes" said Luna.
"Those prices were way beyond my expense" said Lincoln. Then then head off to another music store.
The demonic crown then spots the duo leave the music store and drive off someplace else. "This just isn't my day!" said the crown. But then it gets picked up by a little girl.
"Ooh! Pretty crown" said Darcy. She then places it on her head.
"Come on Darcy" yelled Teri. "Coming big sis" said Darcy.
But the crown does not like her. "Her positivity and innocence! It burns!" said the crown. Darcy can't even hear the damn thing so she just skips around town with a huge smile on her face. "No! End this torment!" said the crown.
Lincoln and Luna find themselves in another music store and just their luck, Luan was there.
"Hey guys" said Luan. "Hey there Luan, so what brings you all the way here?" asked Lincoln.
"Oh, I'm just here looking for a new theme song for whenever I start up my birthday gig. Could use some new style" said Luan.
"Maybe we can help out" said Luna. "That would be really great you two. I just can't "pic" which one do these themes beat! Hahaha! Get it!" said Luan.
Luna and Lincoln just chuckle and roll their eyes. "Classic Luan" they both say in unison.
Meanwhile Darcy spends the rest of her day skipping around with her sister Teri escorting her. She also spun around as well.
"If I had a stomach. I'd be sick by now!" said the crown dizzily.
Then Darcy and Teri decide to go buy some ice cream. What Darcy doesn't know is that she ran towards the ice cream truck so fast that the crown fell onto the ground and onto the road.
"Finally!" said the crown, but it gets run over by a bus. "Seriously! Again!" said the beaten out crown.
An employee who was loading boxes into a truck spots the crown on the ground. "How did this fall out?" said the employee. He then places the crown into a box that says "Princess Crowns" and its destination is the Royal Woods Mall.
Lincoln and Luna had finished helping Luan find the right theme music and also checking out more expensive Mick Swagger merch. They were then off to the last music store Luna and Lincoln knows. The Royal Woods Mall.
The crown then awakens to see that it's inside a box. And it was surrounded by princess crowns. "This is a joke right?!" said the crown in annoyance.
Then the box opens and the crown is picked up and places onto a shelf surrounded by princess stuff. "I take it back! That little girl was better than this nightmare!" said the crown.
But the crown spots Lincoln and Luna walk by the toy store. "Well, Just my luck!" said the crown. It then hops off the shelf and slowly follows them.
But it gets run over by scoots. "Seriously! Old ladies have wheels too?!" said the crown.
Lincoln and Luna then enter the music store and the crown is not far behind. Inside Luna looks at some old Mick Swagger albums and the prices were very high. "Dang man! This is way too high for me" said Luna. She then places the album back and walks away.
And just in time too. The crown was above her and tried to land on her head but misses. "Dang it!" said the crown.
The demon crown looks at the albums price. "Geez! She's right! This is way too high" the crown then hops onto the ground and follows her.
The crown spots Luna checking out some Mick Swagger key chains and jumps towards her. Only to get knocked away by Tabby and the crown lands into a trash bin. "For goodness sake!" said the crown.
"Hey there Lunes" said Tabby. "Hey there little dude. Glad you're here" said Luna.
The two of them then proceed to talk about the incident with Mick swagger and all of his raised merchandise, they then meet up with Lincoln who just bought some empty CD's that he can use.
The crown keeps overhearing what Luna said about this Mick Swagger person and decides to do something about it.
The crown looks for a vent to hide in and starts speaking an enchantment that allows it to see what has transpired and what the causes of the crash were.
The crown eye returns to normal and is shocked. "Luna will want to like this!" said the crown deviously.
Later Lincoln and Luna head to the food court for lunch, Tabby also tags along.
On their way there. They run into Leni, Jackie and Miguel. "Hey guys!" said Leni. "Hey there Leni. You and your friends on break?" said Lincoln.
"We sure are" said Miguel. "Come and join us" said Fiona. "First we gotta get our food" said Luna. So Lincoln, Luna and Tabby head off to the nearest food stand.
Meanwhile the crown sneaks into a bag that is near leni and her work friends. "All I have to do is wait here and she'll take me to her home and there I will make my move!" said the crown.
After lunch with Leni and her friends. All of them decide to head on home. Though Fiona had to stay for an overnight shift, same with Miguel.
The crown then pears out of the bag and realizes. "I'm in the wrong bag!" said the crown. The bag belonged to Fiona.
The crown just watches as Luna, Leni and Lincoln leave the mall. "This sucks!" said the crown in annoyance.
Just then an explosion is heard from a distance. "Looks like trouble!" said Lincoln. Luna and Leni nod in agreement and they head to the source, ready to save the day.
Back inside the mall. Fiona places her bag near the counter. The crown falls out and lands in scoots basket.
The old lady makes her purchase and leaves. "Well. This is gonna be a horrible day for me. Better yet a horrible life!" said the crown.
Just then Scoots sees an update on her phone. "Heroes spotted saving a burning building? I gotta see this!" said Scoots. So she races to the disaster with the crown in her basket.
Meanwhile a large apartment building is engulfed in flames and there are still ten people still in there. Lincoln and Luna are outside putting out the fire. Leni is also using her plants to spray water as well.
"What was the cause of this?" asked Lincoln as he puts out a large flame. "They said that the boiler room got jammed by something. The manager was gonna go and fix it and that's when it blew up" said the Fire Chief.
"Where's the dude now?" asked Luna. "He was the one who got hit first. So obviously he isn't walking, or talking" said the police officer.
Lincoln and his two sisters did not like hearing that. But they had to rescue the other ten people still trapped inside.
"The fire is too strong. My plants can't go inside" said Leni with worry. "Lori, Dana and Becky said their on their way here" said Lincoln.
But Luna was too worried about the people inside. She knows Mick Swagger is gone, but she was not gonna let these innocent people die on her watch.
So she races inside and uses her ice powers to clear the way. "Luna No!" Lincoln tries to go after her. But the entry way is blocked by falling burning debris.
Scoots arrives and parks near her elderly friends. "So what did I miss?" asked Scoots.
The demonic crown is shocked to see how inferno like the fire was. Then it senses its host inside. "No! Luna!" said the crown.
It jumps off the basket and hovers into the building. Lincoln uses his blaster to freeze out the flames, then he notices the black crown hovering into the building. 'What the heck was that?' Lincoln says to himself.
Inside of the burning structure. Luna puts out a lot of fire to make a safe clearing. "Hello? Anyone here?" Luna yelled out.
Then she spots a family huddled into the corner of the room. Luna runs towards them and shield them with an ice barrier.
Luna spots a nearby window and breaks it open. She then makes an Ice slide that leads outside. "Go now!" yelled Luna.
The family nodded and they went on the slide. Luna then looked back into the fiery hallway. "Three down seven to go" said Luna. She then charges into the flames ice powers ready.
The crown just watches at how passionate she was and determined. "She really is the most passionate hero here" said the crown. It then continues to follow her.
Luna has been saving as many people as she could. From creating ice slides for them to escape, giving them an ice golem as an escort and using her ice powers to break the wall so Leni can sue her vines to get them out of there.
Luna is now standing in the middle of the first floors hallway. "Alright. Looks like I got everyone" said Luna.
"Help!" said another voice. "That sounded like it came from the basement. But who-" It then hit Luna and she realized who it was. "The manager!"
Luna races towards the sound. The crown follows not too far. "I have a bed feeling about this" said the crown.
Luna reaches the basement and sees that it is the one room with the most flames. Luna uses her powers to neutralize some of the fire. But most of it returns. "This place is getting intense. But I have to find him" said Luna.
She then spots some movement near the destroyed boiler. There sitting next to a used up fire extinguisher was the middle aged manager. "Oh thank god you came!" said the exhausted manager.
Luna the helps him up. She then notices his leg was badly cut. Probably from the exploding boiler. She then notices that the way out has been blocked by burning debris. "Dang it!" said Luna.
She then has an idea. "You're gonna have to trust me on this one" Luna said the man. "What?" asked the manager.
Luna then blasts the ceiling above them with her powers. Then she engulfs the man inside a giant snowball and summons an ice golem.
"Get him out of here now!" yelled Luna. The ice golem nods and carries the snowball and climbs out of the basement while trying its best to block out some of the falling fiery debris
Luna then gets out next. The ice golem and Luna run to the exit. But then a large part of the hallway collapses and lands in front of Luna. The ice golem looks back and tries to free her. "No! get out of here! I'll find another way out!" said Luna.
The ice golem nods and runs out of the building. Luna looks around for a way out. She then uses her ice powers to at least try and clear some of the fire.
But she does not notice the second floor hallway was about to break from its supports and it was right above her.
The debris then starts to fall. In slow motion Luna looks up and sees the near disaster. Then the crown jumps onto her head.
Luna's eyes start to turn black and her pupils become red. She then screams in anger and the debris is sent flying away from her.
Luna then sighs in exhaustion and looks at the blocked path. With only her right hand she destroys the debris and walks through.
As she walks she's leaving behind a pathway of blight and charred rocks. Her hair starts to turn black.
Outside Lincoln helps get the man out of the snowball along with the ice golem. But then the ice golem starts to break apart and disappear. "Well, he served his purpose" said Lincoln.
Just then Leni spots something coming out of the building. "L-Luna?" Lincoln turns around and sees his sister.
Still wearing her Superhero unitard. But her hair is now black, same with her eyes and her pupils are now red. "D-Did I save them?" she asked in a shadowy voice.
Then she collapses onto the ground and the crown falls off her head and closes its eye. Lincoln rushes to Luna. "She's breathing" said Lincoln.
Leni spots the crown and uses a Venus fly trap to pick it up. Lincoln looks at the strange artifact that Leni found.
"I think this is what saved Luna" said Leni. "Whatever it is. We have to tell dad" said Lincoln.
Then Lori, Dana and Becky show up. "Sorry we're late. There was an armored car being stolen by some heavily armed men" said Dana.
They the spot Lincoln tending to an unconscious Luna Frost and Leni with a shadowy crown. "What happened?" asked Becky.
Lincoln then looks at his unconscious sister. 'I don't know' Lincoln says to his thoughts.
To be continued …
It's all coming down to this. The demonic crown has entered their world. Suffered through multiple stupid situations and is now in the hands of Luna, sort of. Please leave a review and tell me what you all think.
