Spells and Louds
Chapter 251: A Big and Marvelous Surprise
(Spellman Estate, backyard)
All of the Spellman kids are busy enjoying this nice day.
Timmy and Lincoln are checking on the schedule for new fishing spots around Royal Woods, and with them helping is of course their Dad, Neil Spellman.
Linka and Leni are both talking to each other about some fashion designs they can make for spring, which will be deployed in April.
Luna is on the roof tuning her guitar, and she's getting some bad vibes about summer, it is going to be hot after all.
Sunset is helping Gwen with the gardening, while Lily is fast asleep in her crib.
"Okay, so there's Tall Timber Creek, but we can't go there due to the sturgeons living there" said Neil.
"There are three lakes nearby the forest not too far from the house, we can choose either one" said Timmy.
"What concerns me about these lakes is that we might end up disturbing a water type Pokemon" said Lincoln.
"Which means we're gonna have to bring Absol and Garchomp with us when we go fishing" said Neil. "Let's be glad there's not Gyarados in the area."
"Have there even been any reports about these lakes?" asked Timmy. This makes Neil and Lincoln question their motives for these three lakes.
"Okay, how about I talk to Martin to run a background check on what kind of Pokemon species lurks in these areas before we go into a suicide/fishing mission?" said Neil.
"Sounds like a good idea" said Timmy.
"Definitely" said Lincoln.
They then decide to pack up what they were doing, Timmy smiles as he recalls yesterday. Neil and Lincoln notice this. "You still feeling happy after yesterday?" asked Lincoln.
"Sure am bro, best birthday I have ever had in my life. And not just the gifts, but to the fact that the fairies and people there are now living in peace" said Timmy.
Neil then realizes. "Timmy that was a dream you had, in which I granted as your birthday gift."
Timmy then realizes what he meant. "Oh, okay so maybe it was the best gift I have ever had."
Lincoln and Neil chuckle. "Yup, the one gift you will never forget" said Lincoln.
"And the good thing about it, is that your phone will be given an update of how it's all working well in their earth. To see if there are any small troubling news about fairies and humans" said Neil.
"That does sound like a good thing to add" Then Timmy recalls something. "What about Crocker? Or Vicky? Or my old dad?"
"Don't worry about them bro. They're being held in one of the most hardened military prison outposts we have based there, and should they do get unstable they will be sent into cryo-jail" replied Lincoln.
"We came prepared for something like this, well mostly me" said Neil.
"That is true" replied Lincoln.
Timmy smiles. "Thanks guys, what you and everyone else did for me on my birthday means a lot."
"We're family Timmy, so we do whatever we can to be there for each other" replied Lincoln.
"Okay guys, let's take a break or do what we normally do" said Neil. "Though there is one thing that's been on my mind."
Lincoln could only guess what he means. "Is it the presence of White Fang Leader Sienna Khan?"
"Yeah, her. I really did not expect her to be here. In our world. Which is just weird and odd" said Neil.
"If she's here, wouldn't that mean something bad happened in Remnant?" asked Timmy.
"You make a great point. Nevertheless that's a discussion we'll have to deal with for next time" said Lincoln.
"We'll have to talk to Gyro about this when we have the time, but I'm sure Raven Branwen knows about this, so she must be part of our assault plan on Haven" said Neil.
"In which we will have to speak to Gyro about it, all of it" said Lincoln.
Just then they spot the Super Kirov Airship flying by their home, and they can all see Sienna Khan, on one of the balcony's looking down towards them.
"Okay, so now we know where she lives. With the psychopathic Soviet air commander" said Neil.
"And I'll say I again, this is something we'll have to discuss with Gyro. Next time" said Lincoln. The whole airship then flies off.
"Well, that was something we'll deal with next time" said Neil.
Just then something comes out of the great gate and lands in front of them.
"Whoa!" yelled Neil, Lincoln and Timmy.
Luna gets up and sees the clouds of dust. "Lincoln!" She comes down from the roof and enters her Luna Frost form.
The dust soon clears and they see this large chameleon creature. At first they're startled, then confused, and then they realized who it was.
"Fred?!" said Sunset.
"Hey guys, glad I came" said Fred.
They weren't really pleased to see him. "Okay Fred, what the hell are you doing here and what do you want?" asked Linka.
"First off. Sorry for coming in unexpectedly" said Fred. "I swear I sent you guys a text about me coming."
(Truth be told, they didn't give him their numbers. Just some numbers from dead cellphones. Why? This is Fred we're talking about, would they really want him to constantly contact them every single time?)
"Yeah, sure. Can you get to the point as to why you're here" said Leni.
"My dad wants to meet you guys" said Fred. They didn't seem pleased by those words.
"You're dad. Wants to see us?" asked Lincoln.
"Seriously?" asked Timmy.
"Yeah, and I also told the rest of your team to come as well" replied Fred.
They then spot some vehicles arrive to the front yard. All of them belonging to Martin, Victor, Sergei, Leon, Loona, Jack Cyber, Penny, Dana, Becky, Carol, Lori, Sam, Peter, Ember and Boomer comes down via parachute.
"Okay, so what the hell is the emergency?" asked Victor.
"Is something attacking San Fransokyo?" asked Dana.
"Old enemy of yours coming back for revenge?" asked Leon.
"None of that, though we dealt with Momasake yesterday, so it's all good" replied Fred.
They are all confused by this, but they can see from the annoyed looks from Neil and his family. They were suddenly getting a lot of uneasy vibes.
"So, why are we here anyway?" asked Sergei.
Fred clears his throat. "My father, Frederick Flamarion L. Frederickson the III, would like to meet all of you at our humble home."
They all remain silent.
"Okay. I am literally out of here" Lori heads into Veronica and drives off.
"Wait what?" said Fred.
"Yeah, hard pass" said Carol as she goes back to her car and leaves.
"No wait!"
"This was not what I was expecting" said Sergei.
"And I am pregnant and this is a waste of time!" yelled Loona. They both head back to Spellman Hell Mansion.
"Guys, stop!"
"I used my man cannon for this shit?!" Boomer fires a grappling hook and slings away back to the Super Kirov Airship, but he accidently hits a Fearow and it chases him. "Holy shit!"
Fred then sees Dana, Becky and Ember leave. Martin activates his suit. "Sorry kid, but I got a project to deal with and we have to confront with the fact of our major assault on another dimension. Bye!" Martin takes off.
Fred had no clue what just happened.
They all look to Fred in disappointment. They know Fred is a fan boy about hero stuff, and he is their friend. Sort of.
"Alright fine! We'll come with you" said Lincoln.
"Really?! Thank you so much! I promise you guys won't regret this!" said Fred in glee.
"Please don't make us regret all of this, the one thing we don't want is to end up talking about hero shit for the next ten hours straight. And where the heck is the rest of your team?! Don't they know about what you're even doing?" asked Leon.
"They're all at school, they're doing some kind of test. Also Min-max is recharging" replied Fred.
"Then where the heck is Tadashi?" asked Sam.
"He said he's busy with Martin and the project we were finishing. He's somewhere in the Pacific Ocean" said Victor.
"He won't be back here on the mainland for a while" said Penny.
"Okay guys! Next stop, my house!" Fred leaps into the portal.
They all sigh knowing this is stupid.
"This is something I wish we didn't do" said Peter.
"I'm gonna hang back here and watch over Lily" said Gwen.
"Okay then honey, we'll be back soon. But if we don't. Send. Everyone" replied Neil.
"Please do" said Linka.
They all pass through the portal. Gwen then thinks. 'I doubt something bad will happen, more like something marvelous will happen.'
(San Fransokyo, Allied Outpost)
They pass through the portal and are at the allied outpost, they commandeer one of the Medivac's and fly off to Frederickson manor.
"San Fransokyo is looking good, I like how some of our tech is being put to good use" said Victor.
"And looks like Krei is still trying to be like us" said Jack Cyber. They spot Krei testing out his company's new transforming helicopter. But it lands and malfunctions.
"At least Martin doesn't have to see any of this" said Penny.
(Fredrickson Mansion)
They finally arrive to their destination and land on the helipad of the place.
What they don't know is that someone was waiting for them.
Fred blocks their way before they leave the dropship. "One thing you guys should know."
"What?!" they all ask.
"My dad is actually a retired superhero who goes by the name Boss Awesome! Some of his enemies are still kicking and we fight them from time to time, like the time I was supposed to be kidnapped by Steam-Smite, but instead Wasabi was taken away because he thought Wasabi was me, but we stopped him and now he's kinda my mortal enemy."
They all looked at him with annoyance, all while the main door of the dropship opens behind Fred. "Can we get this over with already?! Some of us have things to do back home!" said Sam.
"Penny and I have the project to finish on" said Victor.
"It's my day off, and I wanna relax" said Jack Cyber.
"I gotta help the Dazzles with their studies" said Peter.
"I was planning on doing a game stream today" said Leon. "Just without the others knowing."
"I was gonna help Lily learn to speak some east words" said Sunset.
"I was gonna hang out with Kick and Gunther" said Timmy.
"Linka and I were fashion discussing" said Leni.
"Luna and I were gonna do our once a month brother and sister bonding day" said Lincoln.
"It's like the one time it keeps us both stable from our emotional past problems" said Luna.
"I swear the last thing we want is you, to end up wasting our day! You don't even know how hard it is to be heroes like us!" said Neil.
"We fight through the cosmos and keep many innocent lives safe" said Linka.
"And we are not letting the rest of our duties get blocked by some fan boy in a freaking chameleon suit!" said Lincoln. "This just reminds me of that damned Squirrel suit!"
"Oh, sorry about that. I didn't know my son was bugging you guys" they all looked behind Fred and were shocked to see who it was, well some of them knows who it is.
A 65 year old man with white and grey hair, a mustache, glasses, wearing a brownish sweater, brown pants, brown shoes and a watch. Stan Lee.
They were all shocked by this.
"What?" said Lincoln.
"No way" said Linka.
"It can't be" said Timmy.
"Holy hell" said Neil.
"Dear god" said Victor.
Some of the others are kinda confused by this. Then Luna whisper to them who that man was and why he's so familiar.
"Well, it's nice to meet you all, my name is Frederick Flamarion L. Frederickson the 3rd, but I know my son told you guys about me wand who I used to be" said Mr. Frederickson.
They all remained speechless.
Lincoln walks up to him. "It is an honor to meet you sir."
Lincoln and Mr. Frederickson shake hands. "The pleasure is all mine, I should be honored to meet a young rascal like you taking up a super hero role. You don't get much of them every day."
Lincoln was happy to shake hands with someone like him.
Fred however was confused by this, they were angry at first, but now they're not.
Linka and Timmy walk up to him. Mr. Frederickson. "Hey there kids, sorry if you guys are busy today. I just wanted to meet the heroes who helped save Big Hero 6 from serious danger."
"Dad, we're Big Hero 7 now" said Fred.
Mr. Frederickson chuckles. "Well, if there's one thing I know, is that there are some heroes with different levels of jurisdictions and ranks. But it doesn't mean they can be able to up the ante and step up to do greater things-"
He's interrupted from being hugged by Lincoln, Linka and Timmy. All three kids had smiles and are shedding some tears.
Fred was getting confused, but Mr. Frederickson was finally understanding this. "I look like someone very familiar don't I?"
Neil nods as he wipes away a tear. "Y-Yeah. You kinda do."
"Very much" said Leon.
Mr. Frederickson smiles. "Is it someone who passed away some time ago?"
"Yeah" replied Peter.
"Passed away in Twenty Eighteen in our world" replied Victor.
Mr. Frederickson chuckles. "Was he great?"
The kids break the hug. "He was more than great sir." said Linka.
"In many ways he was the hero who made heroes" said Timmy.
"He was Spectacular, Ultimate and amazing" replied Lincoln.
Mr. Frederickson smiles. "Well, how about we all have something nice to eat while we're talking huh?"
"Sure" they all replied.
Fred was still confused by this. "Can someone tell me what the heck is going on?"
"Son please, let out guests speak what they have in their thoughts. It's the least we could do from taking them away from their free time" said Mr. Frederickson.
"No need to worry sir, I think we have a lot of free time on our hands right now" said Lincoln. They all head inside and tell Mr. Frederickson about all the heroics they have done, the conflicts they have been through, the villains they faced, the heroes they allied with, the worlds they travelled to and the stories of how they all came to be, the Royal Defenders.
"Wow! Now that is some hero history right there. I am impressed, you guys are way beyond any level of heroes I have ever seen, and I know that you all take great responsibility in what you're all doing. I can respect that" said Mr. Frederickson.
"What about Big Hero 7 Dad? We're above the level too right?" asked Fred.
"Fred my boy, you have to understand. There are some heroes that have to find a way to step up, it's not gonna be an easy process. It takes time to make it to that certain rank and be truly called Super Heroes" said Mr. Frederickson. "Now, Big Hero 7, they are the Super heroes of this world. But a Super Hero is one who knows what they're doing, has been through so much, and has what it takes to earn that name. And I can see that in you guys, and also in Big Hero 7."
"Thank you sir" said Lincoln as he eats his cupcake.
"It's an honor to hear you say that sir" said Leon.
Mr. Frederickson chuckles. "Now, I know you're all saying that because I look like someone familiar. So tell me who this person is and why he's such a big inspiration?"
They then tell Mr. Frederickson, the story of the greatest hero of all time, Stan Lee.
(Hours later)
They all walk back to the Dropship.
"Well, this has been quite a blast to meet you all" said Mr. Frederickson.
"Thanks sir, and we're sorry if we were being rude about not coming here" said Linka.
"No need to worry kid. Everybody has stuff to do and sometimes they have to do it at some bad timings, but in the end we gotta see a silver lining in it" replied Mr. Frederickson.
Linka smiles. "Okay, thank you."
They all board the Dropship. Lincoln looks back and waves.
"Remember guys. I may not be Stan Lee, and I know he's no longer with you guys anymore, but know this. He will always live on, within the hearts of the heroes you guys are fighting alongside with. Heroes such as yourselves" said Mr. Frederickson.
They all smiled at his words, and it struck them in their hearts to know that this man may look like him, may act like him, but he cannot be him. Only in true spirit will Stan Lee live on, and for future generations to come to learn the tale of the hero of the Marvel Universe.
They all take off and head back home, they wave goodbye to Mr. Frederickson, and they're off to the Allied outpost.
Fred and Mr. Frederickson wave goodbye to them. "So dad, what was that all about anyway? I wasn't able to hear because Mini-max wanted a rematch in my room with one of my games."
Mr. Frederickson just smiles. "It was ….. Just a nice conversation, with heroes of tomorrow."
"Okay dad" said Fred, he felt as if a great hero was made in the process of their talk as he heads back into the mansion.
Mr. Fredrickson however stays outside and watches the sunset saying one thing. "Excelsior."
To be continued …..
A/N: Some of you have been asking for a chapter that will involve them meeting with Fred's dad, Mr. Frederickson or who we call by his voice actors name, Stan Lee. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
R.I.P Stan "The man" Lee. Dec 28, 1922 – November 12, 2018.
Maybe we will forget many heroes, but we will always remember the man who created the heroes.
