Spells and Louds
Chapter 96: A grand reward
(Spellman Estate)
The morning arises to Royal Woods. Neil is in the kitchen already making breakfast and soon he hears footsteps.
Neil turns around and sees Loni in his sea foam green pajamas. "Looks like you're the first one up."
"Yeah, wait a minute! I didn't know it was early morning" said Loni.
"Actually it's almost six o'clock, but yeah. it does seem like early morning" replied Neil.
Loni then takes a seat and waits for breakfast. "I actually wanna thank you Mr. Spellman, for letting me stay here in your world for one week. This really means a lot" said Loni.
Neil hands him a fresh plate of eggs benedict. "Well, Linka sees you as her brother, sort of. And I heard that your intelligence is improving."
"Yeah, it is. I just can't believe it. Linka's twelve years old now and she already has a brother she can relate to" said Loni.
"Well, Lincoln and Linka both almost think alike and that's whats great about them" said Neil. "I also heard about what happened with your three other brothers, Loki, Luke and Lynn. If they try anything else I will personally burn them alive!"
Loni sighs. "I know they're family, but I think they're already far gone. I just don't know why they would think that escaping and doing something stupid would bring things back to normal! It's not going to work like that!"
Neil sits next to Loni. "I don't really know how to respond to that, but I will tell you this. If Linka thinks you're still family, then I'm okay with that too. Just as long as the other ex-brothers aren't getting involved."
Loni smiles and tries to hug Neil. But he backs up. "Hold it right there happy face! I said I'm okay with it, I didn't mean I said you would be adopted."
Loni then looks away nervously. "Sorry about that, I just can't shake off the kind and sort of ditzy self of mine, that's the one thing I have to try to change."
They hear other footsteps and see Gwen, Leni, Sunset, Luna, Lincoln, Linka, Timmy, Courage and their Pokémon.
"Morning fam" said Neil. They also greet Neil back. Linka approaches Loni and hugs him.
"It's so good to see you Loni" said Linka. "It's good to see you too" replied Loni.
Lincoln was okay with him, so is Luna, Sunset and Timmy. Leni on the other hand was not quite amused by him.
She still remembered when she first met him, he was a complete dork.
There wasn't any room for Loni to stay, so they let him stay in the extra room in the basement. It was for their grandma, but she insisted on letting him have it. Diana is currently staying at an apartment building.
They all finish eating and wait outside of the house.
Lincoln and Linka are both outside with their family and holding the communicator. They remembered what Admiral Matt Horner said.
"Tomorrow, wait outside after you're ready and then tell the captain to come and pick you up."
"So, you guys gonna make the call?" asked Leon.
But then they spot Lori, Dana, Becky, Sam and Jordan arrive. They used their powers to get there, okay Jordan hitched a ride on Dana's ice road.
"You didn't think we weren't gonna be here to see what the big surprise is do you?" said Jordan.
Lincoln chuckles. "Well, we're glad you're here."
"Well, what are you waiting for? Let's see it" said Sam.
Lincoln and Linka turn on the communicator and hear a voice. "This is Captain Nikolai Sliveg Kozlov. Are you Lincoln and Linka?"
"Umm, yes we are" replied both Lincs.
"Just say the word and we'll be ready" replied Nikolai.
"Okay, come pick us up" said Lincoln and Linka.
The communicator turns off and out of nowhere a Battlecruiser comes out of light speed and sends down a black medivac transport.
"What the what?" said Neil in shock.
"Something tells me we're about to see the surprise gift from the Terran Dominion" said Gwen.
The transport lands and opens. Inside are four marines who salute to them, but actually to Lincoln and Linka.
"Okay, this is weird" said Luna. They all board the transport, including Loni and they head straight to the Battlecruiser, though the Cruiser looked familiar to Lincoln and Linka.
The Medivac enters the hangar and many of the crew members salute them.
"This is getting weirder" said Sam. Then they spot Admiral Horner. "Ah, you guys made it, good. Come on, follow me."
They follow him and they reach the bridge, where they see all of the staff members on the controls and a six foot tall Russian man in his thirties wearing the uniform of a Battlecruiser captain. He has a bear but no mustache.
But what was shocking about the Battlecruiser, is that many of the crew members were not just Terrans. There were Zealots, Stalkers, Immortals, Phasesmith's, Adepts, High Templar, Dark Templar, Sentry's, Probes and Observers. In the hangar they saw Phoenix crafts, Void Rays, Scout drones and Oracle crafts. There are Protoss onboard as well and they were also crew members.
The Captain turns around and sees them. "Greetings Commanders and welcome to the Battlecruiser Aegis, restored to her former glory!"
Lincoln and Linka look at their dad. "Oh, no not him. I meant you two" said Captain Nikolai.
"Wait what?!" said the twins and they're family.
They all look at Admiral Horner. "Surprise. This was the gift from the entire Terran Dominion and from the family of the former captain Ragner."
"So, this Battlecruiser, is ours?!" asked Linka. "That's right" replied Horner then he salutes to them. "Commander's."
"W-What?!" said Neil.
"You're two children have proven themselves through the deadliest of battles, they are pretty much the youngest tacticians we've ever met" said Captain Nikolai. "You two have been promoted, from front line officers, to fleet commanders."
Lincoln and Linka look around the bridge and all of the staff crew salute to them. "Welcome to the United Koprulu fleet, Commanders!"
Lincoln and Linka faint. Which wasn't what they were all expecting.
Growlithe goes to Linka and licks her face, Loni tries to wake her up. Absol and Jordan do the same to Lincoln.
When they finally wake up, Lincoln and Linka look at what their sitting on.
Two chairs in between the pathway where all of the crew on the bridge pass by and head to their stations. In front of them is a table which is the battlefield map, main screen communications and radar detection.
"Glad you guys woke up" said Neil.
Then the rest of the sibling hug them.
"Dudes! This is awesome!" said Luna.
"You guys have your own Battlecruiser!" said Leni.
"And your own fleet!" said Sunset.
"A lot of different crew mates too!" said Timmy.
"This literally is like a base" said Lori.
"A base with everything they need" said Dana.
"Like a planet sized house!" said Becky.
"With an infinite view" said Sam.
"That also means they command the whole vehicle armada here" said Leon.
"Whoa! Talk about an army" said Sergei.
"First you guys turn twelve and now this! I just can't believe it" said Gwen.
"Yay! Swip! Swip! Swip!" said Lily.
"I don't know what is happening, but I guess I should be proud" said Loni.
Lincoln and Linka look around and see all of the crew members going around and checking on the ships systems, then they spot Captain Nikolai on his seat near the controls. He sees the two of them awake, smiles and waves.
They also wave back, then they see Growlithe, Absol and Courage sleeping next to them on cushions.
"I don't know if this is the most greatest gift ever or the most overwhelming gift ever" said Lincoln.
"Yeah, this is a lot to take in" said Linka.
"Well, I'm as shocked as you two are. But I am dang proud of what you two have accomplished and gained!" said Neil.
"And you two aren't even older and yet you guys rule the cosmos now!" said Timmy.
Lincoln and Linka did feel proud that they have a ship they can use to help the other realms, but then they realized something.
"This isn't just a ship for Linka and I" said Lincoln.
"This is a ship for the Royal Defenders!" said Linka.
The two of them then spoke in unison as they get off their seats and look out the window. "We're a team and we watch each other's back, so if this ship belongs to us. Then it belongs to all of us! We are united against all evil odds! For the multiverse! For the realms!"
Everyone stays silent from their speech and then claps. "Nice speech you two, nice speech" said Neil as he claps.
Gwen just has tears of joy to see her two adopted kids already standing up and leading.
"That's my bro and my sis" said Luna with pride.
Loni felt like this was Linka's destiny and even if he can't be part of it, he'll always support her no matter what.
Eventually they went through all of the ships areas and read the reports from each one.
An armory, Repair bay, Research lab, Protoss Robotics assembly area, Protoss Pylons scattered in different areas, Fusion core generator and engine room, An interstellar warp gate for Protoss reinforcements, A Protoss Nexus base, Shield Generators, Multiple guns composed of Missile launchers, Plasma batteries, Photon Cannons, The Food Court, A Solar Core, Ammo depots, Medic ward, The large hangar, Troop training area and the most shocking of all rooms, A Chronosphere room.
It says in the reports that Martin McKenzie, the head of FutureTech was able to build another Chronosphere device and donate it to the Battlecruiser Aegis, which means they can realm warp to other dimensions.
The Guardian also built a great gate in one of the giant empty sectors.
Hollow also made a donation of Star Wars Droideka's and Vulture Droids.
The Homeworld Gems let them have a Gem Warp pad, in case they need some help from any Gem kind.
Among the staff is Tyler Bowman and Jennifer Shope, the once former Super Noobs asked to be transferred to the Aegis so they can pledge their services to the two commanders.
Now Lincoln and Linka are both at the bridge looking outside of space and smile.
"Well, this is the start of a new future huh sis?" said Lincoln.
"And who would have thought that we were the ones to escalate it all" said Linka.
The two of them fist bump and high five. "To the Future of our friends and families, and to the people of the Multiverse."
They both look back to the vastness of space. "What do you think the others will think back home?" asked Lincoln.
Meanwhile Luna and Neil were being sent to the Great gate area. There they see Gyro waiting for them.
"Well, looks like you all had fun exploring your new base of operations" said Gyro.
"Okay dude, why are we here?" asked Luna.
Gyro approaches them and his hadn glows and show s projection of the world of the Nexus.
"You Luna Davion Spellman, have been invited to be part of Heroes of the Storm. Official invite by the new Queen of the Nexus, Orphea" said Gyro.
"Wait what?!" said Luna. "She's chosen to be a hero of the Nexus?!" said Neil.
"Indeed, as you both know, the Nexus is a point where heroes and villains of the past fight for glory and dominance and prove that they are strong. But even if they die, they will respawn" said Gyro.
"So, Orphea wants me to be part of it?" asked Luna. "Exactly, I was confused at first. But then she showed me your Hero Spotlight!" said Gyro.
"I'm sorry, Luna has her own Heroes Spotlight? Like her Ability Breakdowns?!" asked Neil.
Gyro smiles and his hand glows and shows them a holographic footage of her spotlight. "Brace yourselves!"
It shows the symbol of the Nexus and the name Luna Frost! Along with the voice narration of Kevin Johnson (Cloaken)
Then they see some pictures and footage of everything Luna has done.
Kevin Johnson: Probably known as the Loudest in the loud family, Luna only had one dream in mind and that is to become a famous Rock star. But Faith wouldn't let that happen. After the events of the 'No Such Luck' Fiasco, Luna's path was forever changed when the family was pledged guilty and split up. She did however have the chance to a new family and to regain the forgiveness from her brother Lincoln.
Then during an experiment gone wrong, Luna acquired the new power of ice, also known as Cryo. She then used her new skills to help save people and become the first hero of the team the Royal Defenders, alongside her other super powered friends and her brother.
Then through multiple battle and adventures, she acquired the power of a Legion forged crown, which she called Lucius. Now she wields both powers of ice and darkness.
(They then see a game version of Luna Frost who then changes to Demon Luna and next to her was her benefits and weaknesses)
Luna is a multi-class hero, who can switch between a support or an assassin.
Benefits: Mobility, Self-Sustain, healing, CC, Lockdown.
Weakness: CC, Stuns, Critical Damage.
(Then it shows Luna in the nexus and how her abilities work)
Kevin Johnson: Luna's trait is Demonic Energy. As Luna takes damage or deals damage, she gains a third purple bar that regenerates as she attacks. Once the bar is full, she will call upon Lucius and enter Demon form, where her abilities as well as her heroics change. In frost form she acts as a tactical support. In demon form she becomes a vicious assassin. As she fights in Demon form, her Demonic energy bar slowly decreases if it hits zero then she will revert back to Luna Frost.
We'll start with her ice powers.
Her first ability is Winter Tactics: Luna switches from dual ice swords in melee to shooting icicles in range. This is a toggled ability and will cost no mana.
Luna's second ability is Slippery Path: Luna shoots in a line in front of her a road of ice onto the ground. Allies who step onto the ice road have increased movement speed. Enemies who step onto the ice road will have no control of their movement, but will slip and slide.
If Luna steps onto the Ice road she dashes forward to the other side, slowing enemies she passes through.
Her third ability is Cold Fever: If cast on an ally, they will create an ice aura that heals others. If an enemy is hit, they will emit an aura that will slow and decrease healing. This ability also has a passive effect, if Luna casts an ability she will leave a small area of ice which lasts for 160 seconds.
Her first heroic is Snow fade: Luna channels snow energy around her, f there are allies with her. They will all disintegrate into snow and teleport to any of Luna's Ice areas, even her ice road. Once she activates this ability, she can see all ice areas she left around all over the map and select which one to teleport too.
Her Second Heroic is Avalanche: Luna slams her ice hammer to the ground, creating an avalanche of snow in a wide area damaging and slowing enemies. The snow lingers and slows enemies as well as shred they're armor.
Now let's focus on her demonic form next.
In her demonic form her first ability is Hellish Assault: Luna can toggle between Demon glaives for Melee of Shadow harpoons for Ranged, note that as she attacks her attack speed increases, but drops if she's out of combat.
Her second demonic ability is Shadowy phase: Luna dashes forward and becomes stealth. If she collides with an enemy hero during the dash, she will stun and silence the enemy.
Luna's third demonic ability is Sundering scream: Luna screams at a target direction, causing enemy heroes to be silenced and slowed, she also gains movement speed and attack damage towards any silenced heroes.
Her first heroic ability in demon form is Struggling grasp: Luna hovers above the ground, gaining movement speed. If enemies are near her, they will be knocked into the air and take damage in this form she is immune to enemy collision but she will take basic damage.
Luna's final Heroic ability in demon form is Spiteful anger: Luna targets an enemy across the map with the lowest health, she then cries in anger and teleports to her target and shreds their armor, if she kills the enemy hero the heroic is immediately refreshed.
(They then see Luna ice skating in Frost form and then doing the Michael Jackson Thriller in Demon form)
Luna is your basic support who can manage enemies and take them down with the help of a strong assassin or warrior, but do be careful. She has to time her abilities right, even when she's ready to go full demon.
Once he enters demon form, Luna has to unleash all of her abilities if she wished to do a lot of damage, before she reverts back to ice powers.
Luna does have some talents that can help slow down the decreasing of her demonic energy.
Death is cool: If she kills an enemy hero in demon form, her demon energy is restored instantly.
Cooling veins: will make her demonic energy bar increase in amount allowing her to store more demon power as she attacks.
Luna has abilities that could help stage the prefect cold chill or a scary demonic ambush.
Frozen walk: the first enemy that crosses the ice road is rooted for a short time.
Below Zero: if the enemy is inflicted with cold fever, she can trigger this ability to detonate the fever and cause it to spread to enemy heroes and minions.
Phantom Eyes: If Luna hits an enemy with her scream a shadow of Luna will follow them, revealing the enemies location.
Legions claws: If Luna enters stealth she can target an enemy hero and summon a demon claw to lock them down, but that would mean she's now out of stealth.
Luna also has some support abilities to keep herself sustained or increase her power.
Codename Freezer Burn: Luna is engulfed in flames and ice and increases her mana regen.
Codename Ivy: Luna is engulfed in vines and she gains healing.
Codename Daydream: Allows Luna's basic attacks to root the first enemy with red energy coils.
Codename Pink: Allows Luna to silence her foes when she first attacks each enemy.
At level twenty Luna unlocks an ability she can use for both forms.
Deep Memories: Once activated all of her cool downs are decreased and she gains a buff that will allow her to become immune to slows and stuns.
Then we see Luna with her three skins. Rock and Roll normal clothing Luna, Cowgirl Luna and Night Club Luna.
And now we're back to the others.
Luna and Neil look back to the guardian.
"Well, that was interesting" said Neil. "Dude, it felt like a game" said Luna.
"Well, the nexus is a place where you're limited to abilities that were either chosen or modified" said Gyro. "So, what do you think?"
"It was pretty cool dude. But I'm gonna have to think about it. I still have a lot of other things in mind" said Luna.
"OF course, take your time. It's okay to deny it Orphea will understand. Still you have to admit that was one cool hero spotlight" said Gyro.
"Well, it was. But I still have to think about it. Thanks for showing me this dude" said Luna.
Neil and Luna then leave the room and head out back to the bridge. "Should we tell the others?" asked Neil.
"Maybe next time pops" replied Luna.
To be continued ….
The grand gift has been presented, Lincoln and Linka are now commanders, the Royal Defenders have their own mobile base and Luna just saw her own hero Spotlight. Leave a review and tell me what you think.
