Spells and Louds
Chapter 170: Prepping for the next day!
(FutureTech HQ)
Martin and Tadashi are both checking on the many crates of different new category fireworks for the big night.
"This sure is a lot" said Tadashi.
"Well, we are celebrating the New Year's and we are gonna make this one a spectacular" replied Martin.
Then Tadashi has an idea. "Hey, I know this may sound kinda off, but is it cool if I go back to san Fransokyo? Just to celebrate the New Years."
Martin looks to him and smiles. "Just as long as you stay hidden and out of sight. But if you have a plan then I'll let you go there, let's just not tell the Guardian we're doing this."
Tadashi hugs him. "Thanks Martin."
Martin felt this was awkward, then he saw Victor, Penny and Jack Cyber watching them.
"This is awkward" said Victor.
Tadashi soon departs from the hug and it gets very awkward indeed.
"So, you're going back home for New Year's Eve?" asked Jack Cyber.
"I am. He even let me visit before Christmas" replied Tadashi.
"Well, as long as the Guardian does not know of this then it's okay" replied Victor.
"How did you manage to sneak Tadashi back to San Fransokyo before Christmas?" asked Penny.
"Simple, I mimicked the same energy the Guardian generates using Protoss Pylons and downloaded the energy signature into the Chronosphere device and therefore the portal thinks Gyro is letting this happen without the original Guardian even knowing" replied Martin.
"Wow!" said Victor.
"Now that is one good plan!" said Tadashi.
"Well, I am a genius after all" said Martin. "By the way Penny, are you planning to go to Remnant to celebrate with Pyrrha and Goodwitch?"
"Absolutely! And we won't be intervening with team RWBY and they're mission!" replied Penny.
"And you will be carrying this watch" said Victor.
"I was able to create a powerful watch that can cloak your energy signature so Atlas won't be able to detect you" replied Jack Cyber.
"Wow! Thank you guys. Also what are the Spellman's up to?" asked Penny.
"Well, I did hear from communication chatter that Sergei is getting his hands on a Katyusha Rocket Truck" replied Tadashi.
"The weapon known as Stalin's Organs?" asked Victor.
"Sure sounds like the very same one" replied Martin.
"Why on earth would he want that?" asked Penny.
"Whatever it is, I hope he doesn't blow something up" replied Jack Cyber.
"Also, Lincoln and Linka are bringing the Aegis Battlecruiser to perform the Fireworks show" replied Martin.
"Is that why many of these crates are being hauled away via Medivac Dropship?" asked Victor.
"Yup. They decided to let the Aegis set up and launch the fireworks show. So it can be seen above the atmosphere throughout the entire United States" said Martin.
"Wow! It's gonna be bright!" said Victor.
"Probably not that bright, we did build these new class of fireworks to perform amazing light shows. But not too bright or toxic or dangerous either. Their more like energy fireworks" replied Jack Cyber.
"Well, let's get these things moving" said Tadashi.
"I'm sure some of these are going to be in remnant as well" replied Penny.
"Darn right they are" said Martin.
But deep down the one thing they're trying to keep out of their minds was the fact that Hollow had a Symbiote inside of him. So they decided not to discuss anything else further and just haul the boxes and crates into the Dropships.
(The Loud House)
As it turns out the Louds have their own plans for New Year's Eve. But before the whole New Year's thing they all have to get ready for the birthday of the twins and usually they have two different birthdays, but thanks to Neil they decided to have Lola and Lana's birthday on the same day. Seems fair.
Lori, Luan, Lynn Jr, Lucy and Lisa are wrapping up the gifts they are planning to give to the twins.
Lynn Sr and Rita are getting the restaurant ready for the party.
Lola is in her room wrapping her gift for Lana.
Lana is in the basement wrapping her gift for Lola.
In Lori's room. "So, what do you think Neil has planned to keep Lana occupied?" asked Luan.
"Probably something big and something Lana likes" replied Lynn Jr.
"My guesses are that whatever he has planned for keeping Lana occupied is also the gift he has for her. It's obvious" replied Lisa.
All of them also agreed.
"And what are mom and dad planning to keep Lola occupied?" asked Lucy.
"Well, I did overhear them say something about bringing Lola to a great Ballet hall or something" replied Lori.
"Yup, that sounds like a Lola thing" replied Lynn Jr.
"Also, I think Duchess is coming along as well. She might teach Lola some tips on how to be graceful and less mean" said Lori.
"That could really work, otherwise it's gonna mean nasty for us! Hahaha! Get it?" said Luan.
And they all groaned in response from Luan's bad pun.
Lynn Sr and Rita soon come back with Veronica.
"Hey kids, how are the gifts going?" asked Lynn Sr.
"We're almost done dad" they all replied.
"And where are Lana and Lola?" asked Rita.
"Lola is in her room. She must be gift wrapping her gift to Lana" said Lori.
"I saw Lana head to the basement with Toxicroak. I think she's gonna gift wrap her gift to Lola" said Lucy.
"Well, that's nice of each other them" said Rita.
"You think they know what they're planning to give to each other?" asked Lynn Sr.
"Let's hope so. The last thing we want is another birthday argument from those two" replied Rita.
"Not gonna like what the fights could bring! Hahaha! Get it" said Luan.
"By the way. You guys had a discussion about Lana being distracted. What is Neil's plan anyway?" asked Lori.
The parents looked at each other. "We have no clue either guys" replied Lynn Sr.
"All he said was to get Lana ready come tomorrow morning early morning" said Rita.
"You think its fishing?" asked Lynn Jr.
"They might be going after the biggest mud pile" said Lucy.
"Or going through a museum of car parts. That is my theory" said Lisa.
"Whatever it is, I'm sure Lana will like it" replied Lori.
"Well, your father and I are gonna go and wrap up the gift we have for Lana" said Rita.
"The place we're taking Lola to is our gift to her" said Lynn Sr.
"I wonder what the Spellman's will be up to for New Year's Eve" said Lucy as she puts her finished wrapped gift down.
"I didn't get any information on what they're up to" said Lori.
"Same here. But I did saw the Aegis battlecruiser near the moon's orbit. That might be what they may have planned for everyone" replied Lisa.
"Well I saw that's a well spelled out plan for all of us! Hahaha! Get it?" said Luan.
They all just groan in response.
(Russian vehicle scrap facility, Kursk Russia)
Leon and Neil are waiting by the Tiger tank.
Though Leon didn't feel comfortable with his German War Machine being there in a place that is known for the biggest tank battle in history.
Why are they there?
Well, Sergei is talking to an elderly man in his late 70's.
Leon and Neil are just waiting.
"So, you think he can score us one?" asked Leon.
"Probably, but I wanna know how does he know this place and the old guy" said Neil.
Then they see Sergei and the old man approach them.
"Good news brothers, he said we can rent one BM-13 Katyusha Rocket Truck" replied Sergei.
"Sweet!" said Leon.
"Nice" said Neil.
"On one condition though" said Sergei.
Immediately Neil and Leon's faces went to displeased.
"Oh boy" said Neil.
"I knew there was gonna be a catch" said Leon.
"So, what does he want?" asked Neil.
Sergei looks to the old man and they both smirk and nod.
This didn't make Neil and Leon feel any better at all.
"He would like to try and drive the Tiger Tank" replied Sergei.
Neil and Leon weren't really surprised by this.
"Okay" replied Leon.
Now it was Sergei who was surprised. "What? Really?"
"Yeah. An old guy who must've known about the war between Russia and Germany. I'm down with it" said Leon.
"By the way, who is this old dude?" asked Neil.
Sergei smirks. "Oh, he's no old dude. Comrades, I would like to introduce to you Commander Oleg Stravinsky, the leading Commander of the twelfth Shock Troop division of the invasion of Stalingrad and my good old friend."
The veteran saluted to them.
Neil and Leon were almost speechless by this news.
"Okay, so let's get it on" said Neil.
(Later)
Neil and Leon are both waiting by the Rocket Truck and watching Sergei riding the tiger tank and directing coordinates as the former Russian commander drives with cheer.
"Well, they look happy" said Neil.
"I guess he wanted to actually drive one of Germany's most dangerous tanks" said Leon.
They just continued to watch as the Tiger Tank drives across the open plains, with the employees of the facility also cheering.
"So, what are we doing with the Rocket Truck again?" asked Leon.
Neil smirks. "That's a surprise for New Year's Eve brother."
Leon didn't know if he should be nervous about this. "It better not be anything involving exploding something."
"Nothing of the sort my brother" replied Neil.
The Tiger then drives right by them and they both hear Sergei and Oleg yelling in victory.
"Heh, Russian Veterans. They always get excited when things turn intense" said Leon.
"Indeed" replied Neil.
(Battle cruiser Aegis, nearing Earth's Orbit)
Lincoln, Linka and Jordan are helping set up all of the picked up fireworks from FutureTech.
Medivac Dropships keep coming in from earth and into the Battlecruiser's hangar.
"You know, I never knew Martin and the guys are capable of making special fireworks. Usually they just build new tech for either human assistance or weapons" said Jordan.
"Well, you'll be surprised just how unexpected they can be with their inventions and igneous minds" said Linka,
Then Lincoln arrives into the hangar. "Alright, all of the plasma batteries and missile launcher systems are emptied and cleaned out of any munitions, we're ready to load them once the day hits."
"This is gonna be so cool bro!" said Linka.
"And all of the cargo is onboard" said Jordan.
All three of them look out the hangar and look towards Earth.
Linka looks to Lincoln. "Lincoln, I know what you're feeling right now."
Lincoln sighs. "What do you mean sis?"
"Well, since we're technically related. We both now have this twin vibe and I know when your scared" said Linka.
Jordan also looks to Lincoln in shock. "Lincoln?"
Lincoln then looks down. "This is it. Soon, we'll all begin a whole new year of our lives, after everything we all been through and now we're taking a big leap."
Linka stands close to her brother and puts her hand on his shoulder. "I know that feeling too. After what happened to me and the many times the ones I once called family tried to do, I am also scared."
Jordan could tell that this was a moment two siblings had to talk about.
Lincoln then smiles. "But, I do know this. Fear can make us weak, but it can also make us strong and I for one am looking forward to whatever happens to us, all of us."
Linka smiles. "And I am as well, we can get through anything we face. Together."
Then they look to Jordan. "And with you, if you want to of course."
Jordan smiles and stands close to them. "Darn right I'm in. we're a team and I think the others would also agree."
They all take a look at their world and hope for the best for the future.
(Spellman Estate)
Gwen, Diana and Sasha are removing all of the Christmas Decorations and putting them back in their boxes.
"I was wondering, has Timmy ever asked for a Pokemon companion yet?" asked Sasha.
Gwen sighs. "Not really, he said he's not ready to be partnered with one."
"How come?" asked Diana.
"Well, I think it's because of all the things he's been through. I'm sure he'll tell us when he's ready for a Pokemon partner. I mean I don't have one and I'm okay with it. But most of the times it would be cool to have a Pokemon partner, but I still have other things on my mind" replied Gwen.
Sasha thought about this. "Okay then, by the way when is his fairy god parents coming back?"
"Well Poof said he'll return to Timmy once New Year's is over in Fairy world. We did get a message from him saying that there was a small fight after Christmas. But it was all settled" replied Gwen.
"I'm actually surprised that the big fairy hasn't mind wiped you yet Sasha" said Diana.
"Well, turns out the man who was friends with Neil talked to him. So I can keep the secret of Timmy's fairy friend" replied Sasha.
Then she realized something. "Perhaps that's why Timmy doesn't want a Pokemon partner, he still has his fairy with him and wants to keep spending time with him."
Gwen smiled. "Looks like you're finally understanding Timmy. It would be nice to see you two reunite, soon."
Sasha also smiled. "Yes, that's something I'm looking forward to as well. But I still have a lot to learn if I want to get to know my former son better."
Gwen then puts her hand on Sasha's shoulder. "Listen, I'm okay if you call him son and I'm also cool with it if he calls you mom again. You are the first to him and the one he still trusts and forgives."
Sasha smiles. "Thank you Gwen. I see why you're such a good mother."
Gwen chuckles. "I try my best and always do my best to understand my kids. Even if they aren't of my blood."
Soon they start to hear some cars arriving.
"Looks like the kids are back" said Diana.
Coming through the doors are Luna, Leni, Sunset, Duchess, Loni and Timmy.
"Hey mom, grandma and Sasha" said Leni.
"Has Lincoln come home yet?" asked Luna.
"What about Linka?" asked Loni.
"Not yet guys, there still in their ship getting it all ready for New Year's Eve" replied Gwen.
Then Courage comes out of the kitchen with warm muffins and they all grab some.
"So, how did it go with Sam?" asked Diana.
"Well, she said that she's gonna be spending time with her dad and Ember at their place and I'm cool with it, she wants me to have some New Year's chill time with my fam" replied Luna.
"Dana is coming here with her family" said Leni.
"I heard from Becky that Martin is coming to they're place for the big night. That is really something" said Sunset.
"But what about your friends from Canterlot high?" asked Diana.
"Well, we're all okay with spending it without me. They want me to be happy with my family" said Sunset.
"I for one cannot wait to spend it with you guys, but I do have to return to my world on the following day that is" said Loni.
"Well that does make sense since school will be starting on January. I heard from Neil that in his home country they're school return is on the sixth" said Gwen.
The kids all cough from their muffins. "What?!"
(I.M.P Building, IMP City Hell)
Loona enters Blitz's office.
"Hey Blitz" said Loona.
Blitz puts away the doll of a demon he was punching. "Oh hey there Loonie! What can I do for ya?"
Loona sighed. "Well, you see it's about Sergei."
"Wait! Say no more! I know you wanna spend some time with him and guess what! He said we can stay with them until January the second!" said Blitz.
"What?!" said Loona.
"As you can recall the big purge of demons starts on New Year's eve! We can all escape into the human world and live! You, me, Moxxie and Millie!" said Blitz. "It's gonna be so much fun!"
But then he saw the upset look on his adopted daughters face. "Loona, what's wrong?"
Loona then handed him something.
Blitz takes it and sees it was a white thermometer looking device. "Umm, what is this?"
Loona sighs. "Look at the red spot on it."
Blitz looks and then it hits him and he drops it. "Loona, are … are you … you can't be."
Loona looks away. "Yeah, I'm pregnant! You happy!"
Blitz could tell how hurt she was from this, now normally she would gain a disease after many times she has sex. But this was a whole new story for him and her.
Blitz slowly approaches her and hugs her from behind.
Loona starts to shed some tears and cries.
She then turns around and hugs him.
"Shhh, it's okay. Everything is gonna be fine" said Blitz.
Soon Loona calms down and looks towards her father.
Blitz wipes away her tears. "Are you upset about this kid?"
Loona sighs. "Honestly I don't really know. Some part of me hates myself! But some part of me feels happy."
Blitz then lets her sit on the office couch. "Loona, do you want to get rid of this child?"
Loona looks at him with disgust. "What?! No! I don't want this child to be gone! That's sick and twisted!"
Blitz smiles. "So, what do you want Loonie?"
Loona looks to the photo of her and Sergei during the big family Christmas party. "I have to tell him first, I don't know what else to do. Dad."
This was shocking, Blitz has never heard her call him that. "Don't worry, we'll tell him together. But we'll have to tell Moxxie and Millie about this too."
Loona groans. "Do we have to tell them?"
Blitz looks art her sternly. "Yes. Now I know we're all not technically family, but the Spellman's sure see it and they could also have your back for when things go wrong."
Loona smiles hearing this, but it soon turns to concern. "I don't even know what Sergei would think. Will he be disappointed?"
Blitz hugs her. "Don't worry Loona. I'm sure he won't be upset, you know his story and you know how kind hearted he can be. I promise you that everything will be alright."
Loona smiles and hugs Blitz. "Thanks. I needed this."
They continue the hug. "This is nice."
Loona chuckles. "Don't get used to it, I'm still spiteful for those who I hate."
They both chuckle and soon they both head out to tell their other colleagues.
(Meanwhile at FutureTech airfield)
A Hercules Transport arrives and Neil, Leon and Sergei come out with the Tiger Tank and the Katyusha truck.
They also spot some soldiers hauling crates into Dropships.
"Looks like your kids are getting ready for the big night" said Leon.
Neil smirks. "Yup and it's gonna be spectacular."
"It will be more once we get this baby loaded!" said Sergei as he taps the side of the Rocket Truck.
They all chuckle.
"Alright, let's get this truck back home and get her loaded!" said Neil.
Neil and Leon hop into the Tiger and Sergei drives the Rocket Truck.
But for some reason he felt like something was not right and that something big was coming, to him.
Sergei shrugs it off and they all drive back to Spellman Estate.
