Spells and Louds
Chapter 55: Lucified
(Spellman Estate)
Neil along with Sergei and Leon are making dinner, Gwen and Sunset are giving Lily a bath, Timmy is currently having a sleepover with one of his classmates so they can finish their school project and All of the Pokémon are doing their best to be helpful around the house.
"Alright. The soup is ready" said Neil. "Casserole is in the oven, so we'll have to wait on that" said Sergei. "I'm gonna cleanup" said Leon. "Allow me to help you" said Absol. Roselia and Gabite also assist.
An hour later. They start to serve up everything in the dining room. Sunset, Gwen and Lily come downstairs. "Looks like Dinner is gonna be sweet" said Gwen. "Or savory" said Sunset. Lily is just giggling.
Soon Neil comes out of the kitchen with the casserole. "Alright. We just need to wait for Lincoln, Leni, Luna and Linka. Then we can all eat" said Neil.
"And the good thing is, because Neil has the soul of a cataclysmic dragon, the food won't go cold" said Leon. "He's got a point. You can just create an aura of heat around the place" said Sergei.
Neil just looks at them annoyed. "You two think it's very funny" said Neil sarcastically.
"Yes. Yes we do" replied Leon and Sergei.
Neil then looks at the clock and outside. "It's getting pretty late" said Neil. "They would've called us by now if something happened" said Gwen.
"Maybe they ran into some trouble, like a crime incident" said Sunset. "She's got a point" replied Leon.
Even the Pokémon were a bit concerned. Then they hear an alarm go off. "Harv, what's happening?" asked Neil.
But before Harv could respond back, the front doors open and they see Leni using her plants to carry Luna and Lincoln following behind with a black box and Lori, Dana and Becky following.
Leni sets Luna onto the couch. The rest of the family follow them as well.
"Kids, whats the hell happened?" asked Neil. Sergei checked up on Luna who was still unconscious. "She's still alive" said Sergei.
Neil looked at all of them and noticed their shocked and worried expressions. "Okay, I don't like being left in the dark here. What happened?" asked Neil in frustration.
Lincoln approached his dad and placed the box on the coffee table in front of them.
Sunset felt like something powerful was in there and all of the Pokémon started to growl at it as well.
Neil and the rest of the family noticed this. "So, whatever is in there, is responsible for this whole situation now?" asked Leon. They didn't respond, but Lincoln just nodded.
Neil approached the box and opened it slowly and then sees. "A crown?" said Neil in confusion.
But then all of the Pokémon started to back away and ready for combat. "I've got a bad feeling about this guys" said Gwen. She then hands Lily to Roselia who then takes her upstairs to her crib.
"So. What is this? And what did it do?" asked Neil to Lincoln.
"It saved Luna" said Lincoln. "But she almost turned into something else" said Leni. "We kinda came let to the whole thing" said Lori. Dana and Becky also nodded in agreement to her statement.
As Neil approaches the crown. His right hand slowly turns into a Deathwing themed arm. Then they all hear a voice from Neil's mind.
"Do not go near that thing!" yelled Deathwing. "Wait. Is that Deathwing?!" said Leon.
"Yes it's me! I'm using my powers to speak to all of you through your minds" said Deathwing. "That crown is an artifact of the Burning Legions homeworld of Argus!"
They all gasped in shock. "Then what the hell is that thing doing here?" asked Leon. "I do not know how or why it is here, but I do know is that it is a very dangerous artifact and who so ever wields it will be imbued with its Legion based powers" said Deathwing.
"So. What happened to Luna earlier" said Leni with worry. "She almost became a demon?!" said Gwen. In shock.
"Precisely" said Deathwing. "This is weird having you speak through everyone's mind using me" said Neil. "Get used to it. But I'll only do this if it's an emergency" replied Deathwing.
They all reverted their eyes back to the crown. "So, what do we do with it?" asked Sunset. "I do not wield the power to communicate with the guardian. But I think the best way is to destroy it, before it awakens again" said Deathwing.
Neil and the others nod in agreement. Sergei summons his electric hammer and gets ready to destroy the crown. Lori also turns her hands into Lava, Dana readies her ice powers and Becky readies her fire powers.
But before they could do anything to the crown. Someone grabs it from the box and backs away from them.
"Luna?! What the heck are you doing?!" asked Leon in shock. They were all shocked to see what she just did. "Wait. Wasn't she unconscious?" said Sergei.
They slowly approach Luna who was now looking at the crown in her hands. "Please. Don't hurt it" said Luna with concern.
Now they were even more confused. "What the heck are you talking about girl?!" said Sergei.
"Sis, That thing is dangerous" said Sunset. "It belongs to those Legion demons" said Leni.
"You guys don't understand! This thing saved me!" said Luna. Then she looked back at the crown. "A-and it showed me something" said Luna.
"But I didn't get to finish what it was" said Luna. Neil then approached her. "Luna, whatever it was you saw, was the crown trying to manipulate you into doing something you shouldn't" said Neil.
"Now please, surrender the crown. Let us get rid of it" said Neil as he offers his hand to her. But Luna doesn't hand him the crown.
"I-I can't! I won't let you! Any of you!" said Luna. She then held the crown close to her and was filled with both anger and concern.
They needed her to calm down and give the crown up. Then Neil turned to Lincoln. "Do something. You're the only person she can trust" said Neil.
Lincoln nodded and approached his sister. "Luna" She turned her head and saw that it was Lincoln who was approaching her.
Luna, like everyone else was expecting him to reason into giving up the crown. Lincoln slowly places his blaster onto the ground.
"What did the crown show you?" asked Lincoln. They were all stunned at what he just asked. "Linky, what are you doing?" said Leni.
Lincoln looks to them. "I got this guys. Trust me" said Lincoln. Lincoln then turns back to Luna and holds her hand, but doesn't go for the crown.
"Please. Tell us what the crown showed you" said Lincoln. Luna looks into his eyes and can see how concerned he was for her and he wasn't going to betray that.
Luna then sighs. "The crown showed me, the incident with Mick Swaggers Bus. It didn't crash by accident. The drunk truck driver, he wasn't supposed to be drunk. Someone planned all of it, to get rid of Mick Swagger and his band" said Luna as she looks at the crown.
For everyone else it was a shocker. Though some of them don't believe it. "Are you literally sure about that Lunes?" said Lori. "It could be just the crown manipulating you" said Becky. "We don't know whats going to happen" said Dana.
But then Neil raises his hand to silence them. "I believe her" said Neil. They all gasp at what Neil just said. "What?" said Leon, Sergei and Gwen.
Neil then approaches Lincoln and Luna. "The day after the crash, I sent Martin and some of my guys to investigate the incident. And it turns out, the bus's brakes and emergency brake as well as the engine were sabotaged. And the truck driver who crashed into them only remembers that he entered the bar and talked to a pretty American lady and then he remembers waking up in his truck" said Neil.
"Also, his blood contained only little alcohol, not enough to make him drunk and lose control. But he was filled with drugs and he does not take drugs. Whoever the woman was that he talked to drugged him" said Neil with a serious tone.
This was a whole new world for them. The famous rock legend Mick Swagger was killed on purpose. "But who would do that to him?" asked Leni. "He could've had some long time rivalries with some people" said Sunset.
Then Luna looked at the crown. She knew that it was the only one who could give them the answers. Lincoln and Neil noticed this and they agreed with each other.
"Do it sis" said Lincoln. They all looked at him with shock. "You want her to put it on?" said Sergei. "Are you crazy or something?" said Leon.
Luna looked at Lincoln and Neil. They both nodded to her. "It's the only way to fix this" said Luna.
"But it literally was made by the demons?!" said Lori. "What about Deathwing? What does he have to say about this?" said Dana.
They all waited for a response from the dragon inside Neil's mind. "It is very odd for a Legion based artifact to just reveal a piece of concern for the host. I believe the crown may have seen her compassion and it changed it forever" said Deathwing.
"So. Does anyone else agree to this?" asked Neil. Gwen went to Neil and placed her hand on his shoulder and nodded.
Susnet and Leni also agreed. Same went for Lori, Dana and Becky, even though they knew this was crazy. Sergei and Leon didn't really wanna see this through, but it wasn't just their choice, it was Luna's. "What the heck! Let's do it" said Leon.
They all turned to the girl holding the legion crown. Luna smiled at them. "Thanks guys" said Luna.
Luna then looked at the crown and whispered "Wake up". And with that the crowns single eye opens and looks at her. "Please, show me. Who were the ones who tried to kill Mick Swagger" said Luna.
Luna then places the crown on her head. At first nothing happened. "That didn't seem so bad" said Leon.
Then they see Luna who now has tears. "N-No!" said Luna as she looks at nothing. "She must've seen something" said Susnet.
Luna then feels a tremendous amount of pain from her head and screams. "Luna!" yelled Lincoln. They all try and approach her, but they all get knocked back by her demonic shockwave.
At that time the front doors of the house open and Linka enters. She heads for the living room and sees what was going on.
The Spellman family members backing away from Luna who had a dark crown on her head and she was in pain as it sits on her hair.
"Luna! Control it!" yelled Neil. "I-I can't! I'm too angry! I need to-" then Luna opened her eyes and was now black with red pupils. "Find the two producers who made Mick fall to his demise!" said Luna in a demonic tone.
Linka had only one thing on her mind. 'What the heck did I miss?!'
"Luna! What are you doing?!" yelled Gwen. Luna then starts to hover from the ground and her face was angry. "I know who did this!" said Luna.
Luna then blasts the living room window and flies off. All of the Spellman's get back up and look outside.
"We have to stop her! She could literally hurt someone" said Lori. They then spot Lincoln running to his Vulture.
"You guys just gonna stand there or help me get her back?!" said Lincoln. Gwen, Leni, Sunset, Lori, Dana and Becky nod and head into Leni and Gwen's car.
But they notice Neil wasn't going with them. "Neil! What are you doing?!" yelled Gwen.
"Go and get Luna back. I need to do something first and I need my brothers help" said Neil. Leon and Sergei stand by Neil's side.
Lincoln nodded and knew what he was talking about. "Good luck dad" said Lincoln. "You too son" replied Lincoln. The hero crew then drives off.
Neil then turns back to the others. "We need to head to FutureTech and show martin this new evidence we found" said Neil. "And with that we can find the real suspects before Luna kills them" said Leon.
"Let's get going" said Sergei. "Can I come with you guys?" asked Linka. They all looked at Linka who looked serious. "I wanna help bring these bad people in as well. I wasn't here to help out" said Linka with some concern.
Neil smiled. "Let's go Linka" said Neil. They all boarded into Neil's car. "Harv watch over Lily will ya!" yelled Neil. "Of course sir! Good luck in finding Luna" replied Harv.
(Royal Woods Theater)
Michelle and Doug are both in the break room trying to figure out what to do for America's Next Hit Maker.
"So we have all of the contestants we need" said Michelle. "And all of the stage equipment have been double checked in case of any accidents, we'll be ready in no time" said Michelle.
But then she notices her partner not looking so good. And she knew why. "Look I know that the plan to get Luna on this show failed. But we can still make this the next best show ever!" said Michelle.
Doug sighs. "I know. It's just, I really thought she would come here and try to become the next Mick Swagger! The whole plan was a bust!" said Doug in frustration.
Michelle sighs. "I gotta agree with you on that one. I spent a whole one hour flirting with that disgusting truck driver for nothing!" said Michelle. "And those drugs were not cheap either" said Michelle.
"Well, we better get ready for the show. So let's put on our game faces" said Doug, trying o feel positive. "Aren't the contestants supposed to say that?" said Michelle.
"Sorry. Just as nervous as you are, maybe we'll find some talent that could help us become rich and famous" said Doug.
When they both open the door they are shocked to see who was standing outside. Wearing her normal purple skull shirt, skirt and white belt straps along with her bracelets and purple boots was Luna. And she looked happy.
"Hey. I was thinking, maybe I should accomplish my dream" said Luna. This was a whole new turn for Doug and Michelle.
They finally got what they wanted. "Oh. Well, we don't have much time. But maybe we can make a few adjustments" said Michelle.
"Radical" replied Luna. She entered the room but she did not notice Michelle and Doug fist bumping each other.
"Okay. I'm gonna call the stage manager and tell him that we have a last minute entry" said Doug as he calls on his phone. "I'll go see what you could wear" said Michelle as she goes through all fo the clothes.
Luna then looks around the room and she notices some crumpled up papers piled into a garbage can. But these papers were blue colored, kinda like blueprints.
Then she spots a crown bar and a tool box under the table and a small wrapper and some white substance still attached.
It was then Luna knew that the crown was telling the truth. They were the ones who killed Mick Swagger!
"You know. I'm only doing this for Mick Swagger, to let his memory live on" said Luna. "Yeah, yeah. That's fine" said Doug as he waits for the manager to reply.
"He was my idol. The one who made me who I am" said Luna. "That's real nice sweetie" said Michelle as she looks at two dresses.
"A lot of people will miss him. He never got to make that tour to Monte Carlo" said Luna with a devious smile.
"Actually he was headed to Liverpool on the south east lane near the king's crest ravine" said Doug.
"The same route near the Trucker's gas and mash station" said Michelle. They have no clue they just said that.
Luna then grits her teeth in anger. "So, you guys did it" said Luna. The two producers turned around to Luna. "What are you talking about?" asked Doug.
Luna looks down and smiled. "Mick never tells anyone except for his band mates about their next tour. Not even the big shots in Hollywood would know. It's how Mick makes his surprise entrance tour" said Luna.
Michelle and Doug start sweating nervously. 'How did she know?' they both say in their minds.
"Well, we …. Umm" was all Doug could say. "Let's not get to that and get you ready for the show!" said Michelle trying to stay positive and less suspicious.
Then the door starts to lock itself. They notice that all of the instruments in the room have been placed somewhere safe.
Doug heads to the door and realizes it was locked. "What the?!" He tries to budge it, but it doesn't. "That's it. I'm calling the stage manager" said Doug.
But when he grabs his phone it starts to overheat and he drops his phone. "Ow! What the heck?!"
They were then shocked to see his phone just melt away. And so does the pink outfit Michelle was holding. "What?!"
Luna then looks at both of them with black eyes and red pupils. "You two killed Mick Swagger!" said Luna.
"W-We don't know what you're talking about?!" said Doug as he backs up. Michelle then grabs a taser and shoots it at Luna. But it doesn't do anything to her.
All of a sudden all of the objects in the room start to float and Luna then hovers.
Her body is soon engulfed in darkness as she laughs maniacally.
The darkness fades and Luna has been transformed.
Her hair was a little ruffled but still a brown pixie cut. Her eyes are black with red pupils. She wore a dress like cloak that would show a little cleavage and her belly with the lower dress only covering her right leg and with her signature belt straps and a skull. Her skin was now a light purple.
Black spike shoulder armor and black clawed gloves that reached her elbows. She wore no shoes and has black beast like shoes. She also wore skull earrings and her ears were now pointy like an elf's. Her teeth were now vampire like and black markings were on her lower cheeks. And finally, sitting on her head was the Demonic Legion Crown with its eye glowing bright red!
Michelle and Doug could only look in horror at the demon in front of them. "W-What ….. What?!" said Doug.
Luna then looks at them and smiles. "What's wrong? Never seen a demoness before?" said Luna with a sinister smile.
"P-Please! Don't hurt us!" said Michelle with tears in her eyes. Luna then made them float in front of her.
"Then Confess! Confess to me the sins that you have committed!" yelled Luna to them.
Doug then started to scream like a girl and admit. "When I was ten I stole a cupcake from my best friend! I accidently broke my mom's necklace and blamed it on the cat! I used to be a bully in high school! I kept picking on a girl because I had a crush on her! I lied about having a private jet!" said Doug.
Michelle looked at him with both confusion and horror. Luna just looked at him with annoyance and slapped him in the face.
"That's not what I meant brah! Confess to me what you both did to my idol!" said Luna in anger.
Doug was already stressed out. Michelle kept her mouth shut. "Alright then. Let's see how you like this" said Luna as she pressed her claws onto Michelle's arms.
Michelle screams in pain. "Alright! Alright! We did it! We killed Mick Swagger! It wasn't an accident!" yelled Michelle.
Luna then stopped her attack and dropped both of them. Doug gets up and tries to comfort Michelle.
"W-We were desperate to have you in our show. We decided that, if a legend like Mick Swagger was gone, you'd take his place" said Doug in fear.
"I was the one who sabotaged the tour bus and destroyed the breaks" said Doug. "I drugged the Truck driver and made sure he was in his truck" said Michelle as they both cried.
The door of the room is broken open by Lincoln and the others. "Hands in the-" Lincoln couldn't say anything else when he sees his now fully Demonized sister.
"L-Luna?" said Lincoln in shock. Gwen, Sunset, Leni, Lori, Dana, Becky and the Pokémon were shocked by what she had become.
"Stay out of this! All of you!" yelled Luna. She then reverted her attention to the two producers. "These two need to be punished for their crimes!"
Doug and Michelle cower away in fear. "Luna! You don't need to do this anymore!" said Leni. "Dad was able to get Lisa to hack into the buildings security cameras and everyone has heard everything!" said Sunset.
In fact they were still live. Thanks to FutureTech Lisa was able to broadcast what the camera saw. The whole world was shocked to hear about the real cause of death to Mick Swagger. And the British who respected the man were getting bloody pissed off.
Luna looks to the camera then to Michelle and Doug. She smiled sinisterly and floats back down. "No" said Luna. She then slams her fist into the ground. Lincoln and the others were now trapped in black ice. Only their faces weren't frozen.
"Luna Stop! This isn't you! Fight it!" said Lincoln. "Sorry bro! But this is me now!" said Luna. She then approaches her brother and kisses his forehead. "And I will use this power to protect my family" said Luna.
Lincoln cries at what she has become. Luna wipes his tears away. "No tears now baby bro" said Luna. She then makes her way to Michelle and Doug who try to escape through a vent, but they were pulled back by Luna.
"P-Please! Spare us!" said Michelle. "Yeah! Spare me mostly! It was all her idea!" said Doug. "Hey!" yelled Michelle.
"You two have sinned! Have committed a crime of murder! And now you two will pay for all you have done!" said Luna as she towers over them.
Luna then grabs them by the front of their shirts and pulls them closer to her face so she can whisper something.
The heroes could only imagine that what she was gonna do is an evil spell. Everyone who was watching were scared as well.
Luna then sighs, Michelle and Doug close their eyes, awaiting their demise. "You. Have. The. Right. To remain silent!" said Luna.
Michelle and Doug open their eyes in shock. Luna then toss them to the wall and bind their hands with demonic cuffs. "Anything you say will be used against you in the court of law" said Luna with a smile, with one hand to her hip and the other one snapping her fingers.
The black eyes covering the team disappear. They look at Luna who is now looking at the cameras. "Sorry about that folks, just needed to give everyone a reason to know what happens to criminals in fear" said Luna.
Luna then turns to her family and friends and smiles. Lincoln slowly approaches her. "L-Luna? Is that you?" asked Lincoln with worry.
Luna approaches Lincoln, her black claw gloves disappear and she ruffles his hair. "Rock and Roll sibs?" asked Luna. Lincoln then smiles and cries. "Rock and Roll sibs!" said Lincoln as he hugs her.
Luna also responds and hugs back. The others were shocked at this. "I-I thought I lost you sis!" said Lincoln. "You almost did actually" said Luna.
The two of them break the hug and look at each other. "Something happened to me before I got here"
(Flashback)
Luna who was still floating spots the Royal Woods Theater and lands in the alley. She makes her way through the dark place with one thing on her mind. To kill Michelle and Doug.
As she walks she then realizes something fell from her pocket. Luna looks at the object and realizes it was her necklace and inside of the locket was the picture of a very young Luna holding a baby Lincoln.
Luna's eyes return back to normal. "L-Lincoln?" said Luna. She then puts the necklace around her neck and removes the crown from her head and looks at it. The crown looks back at her confused.
"I know we should go and kill the people who murdered my idol. But this is not the way" said Luna. The crown then whispers to her. "But, don't you want revenge?" asked the Crown.
"As much fun that sounds, no. and I know you want me to be the monster you want but you can't force someone to change just because you're all-powerful" said Luna.
"I know that you saw me in action. You have to understand. I know you're made by the burning legion and you have a sole purpose to destroy the host's enemies. But don't you think it's time to look for another path?" said Luna.
The crown blinks and remembers seeing all of Luna's memories when she wore it. The first time she held her brother, the day she was appointed as his legal guardian and the day she found her talent. But the crown also saw the memories she regrets. All of the memories where she went against Lincoln and was hive minded into the others.
"You show no signs of evil. But instead you show compassion and you seek redemption for everything you have done" said the crown as a tear drips from its eye. "In all my time of being created, I have never seen anything so beautiful and touching" said the crown.
"I'm glad you see it my way little guy" said Luna as she kisses the crowns eye. "I serve you now my mistress. Until the end of time" said the crown. "What is our next move Luna?" asked the crown.
Luna smiles. "You know. We might not be able to kill them, but how about we give them something to fear?" said Luna. The crowns eye glows bright. "I'm listening".
(End flashback)
"And that's pretty much all that happened. Though you guys coming here wasn't as we expected" said Luna.
They all couldn't believe it. Luna has taken control of the demon crown and they both planned on a fear factor prank.
Lincoln smiles at Luna and hugs her again. "It's good to have you back sis" said Lincoln. Luna hugs him back. "Good to be back bro" said Luna.
Suddenly police enter the building. "Where are the suspects?" asked officer Schoffner. Luna breaks the hug and stands up.
"Over there officer" said Luna as she points to the producers in the corner. The officers then take Michelle and Doug away and they were still shocked by all of this.
Then Leni hugs Luna. "I was so worried about you sis!" said Leni. Soon Sunset and Gwen joined in as well. Luna returns the embrace.
Minutes later they all exit the Royal Woods Theater and spot multiple police cars and they see Neil, Leon, Sergei, Martin, Victor and Linka. The loud family was also there.
They all approached the demonized Luna. "We saw everything on TV" said Martin. "Better yet the whole world saw it" said Victor.
"You almost had me worried there rock star" said Neil. "You were killing it with that plan of yours" said Leon. "And you make the whole demon dress look good" replied Sergei.
"Sorry about what happened with the wall and window dad" said Luna with a nervous smile. Neil was happy that Luna took control of the crown, but he was not pleased at how Luna blasted the living room wall.
"It's cool rock star, as long as you're okay" said Neil. Luna approaches her dad and hugs him. Neil kindly returns the hug. "You're grounded for one week" said Neil with a laugh.
Luna breaks the hug and also chuckles. "I deserve it" said Luna. "So, you have two powers now? Pretty smooth" said Martin.
"Yeah! But I was thinking of using the demonic crown for only when it's an emergency" said Luna. "Like big alien invasions or major disasters!"
"Sounds like a good plan sis" said Linka. "Pretty sure Timmy is seeing this at his friend's house right now" said Sunset.
"At least your still the same music loving sister we all know" said Lincoln. "You need to explain this Sam as well sis" said Sunset.
"Something tells me a lot of people will be talking about this at school" said Dana. "Well, they better not talk dirty or the sinners will get them! Hahaha! Get it?!" said Luna. They all groaned at her bad joke.
"And don't worry about Michelle and Doug. They won't be able to get out of jail anytime soon" said Victor. "Thanks to Neil, we were able to scrape off more lost evidence from the wreckage" said Martin.
"We have enough proof to make sure those two are locked away forever" said Sergei. "Though it's the UK who want Michelle and Doug. There's gonna be a lot of paper work after all of this" said Leon.
Neil looks to Luna with a proud and yet concerned face. "I'm so glad you're not going to turn rogue" said Neil.
"Same here dad. And all it took to keep my cool was my little bro" said Luna as she hugs Lincoln. Soon the whole Spellman family join in for a family group hug.
Then Lucy stepped out of the loud crowd and approached Luna. "Where did this crown come from?" asked Lucy. The group hug was broken after hearing that question.
"I'm as stumped as you are dude. Maybe I should ask the crown" said Luna. "Or you could look behind you!" they all turned around and saw Gyro, the Guardian.
And he did not look pleased. The crowns eye widens in fear. "So. Mind telling me why that is on your head?" asked Gyro. Luna laughs nervously. "It's a long story dude" said Luna. For the crown 'Shit!'
To be continued …
And there you have it. Luna Spellman now has Ice powers and a Demonic crown. Michelle and Doug will be serving a long sentence. But what will the Guardian say after all of this? Will he let the crown stay with Luna or will he lock it up again? Find out in the next chapter. Please leave a review and tell me what you think.
