Spells and Louds
Chapter 262: B-Day coming, Chatter and Tech.
(Royal Woods High School.)
Luan Loud closes the door of her locker. She then gets a surprise kiss from Benny. "Hey Luan, you look happy today."
"Of course I am Benny. Tomorrow is a very special day for me of course!" replied Luan.
Luan and Benny walk together through the halls. "How can I not forget? I know when my lady is gonna be fifteen years old. I hope it's gonna be a good party like mine last month."
Luan chuckles. "How can I forget what your party was last month? Dancing, good music, some Mimes of Miami marathon and of course, the pies!"
They both laugh. "Yeah. But one thing I think I know, is that your family is prone to surprise party's right?"
"Yeah, though we all know how it is. So, I'm not surprised for whatever they hold for me. But I will be happy for whatever party it is" replied Luan.
Then someone approaches them, a girl who is an emo teen. "Hey Luan."
"Oh, hey there Maggie. Congrats by the way on acing this year's pop quiz tournament in Beaverton, you and the others brought good wins for Royal Woods" said Luan.
Maggie sighs. "Normally I'd hate it. But I have to admit, it was all worth it."
"Really? Why?" asked Benny.
"Principal Rivers and I cut a deal, she knows I always have good grades and I am sorta smart. So in return of helping Royal Woods win and participating I get a week off next week, and the same goes for the rest of my emo and Goth friends here in school" replied Maggie.
Luan and Benny are both shocked. "Whoa What?! That sounds kinda cool!" said Benny.
"How come though?" asked Luan.
Maggie shows them the pamphlet, they both look at it. "Come tomorrow I'm going with my friends to see the shadows of pure poets event. It's where lots of Goths and Emo teens come together and show how dark and dreary our words can be."
"Wow! My little sister Lucy would love to go there, or better yet "Kill!" to go there! Hahahaha! Get it?" said Luan.
"Not really, also why not let her?" asked Maggie.
"Lucy is trying her best to become a good big sister to her younger sisters. The only time she has to being herself is when she's with her friends or when she's in the vents" replied Benny.
Maggie sighs, but she agrees. "Yeah, she has her own path to take. And I have got to respect your little sister, she has a dark heart to show some good nature to family." Maggie then sees her friends. "Well, I gotta get going, say hi to Lucy for me Luan."
"Later Maggie and have fun" replied Luan. "Or no fun at all." Maggie chuckles from that one.
Luan and Benny continue to walk, but then they see one of their theater club friends Ruby talking to one of the football kids Spencer.
"Isn't that Spencer? The kid who joined us for Romeo and Juliet that one time?" asked Benny.
"Sure looks like it, and judging by the way their talking and blushing. I think he's asking her out on a date" replied Luan.
They both giggle and then head to their next class.
(Spellman Estate.)
School is over and all of the Spellman kids head back home, they already finished with whatever gift they wanted to give to Luan for tomorrow.
Neil is in his office making a call for the cake. "Okay. So I'll make sure you guys get some transportation to come to Royal Woods tomorrow. Okay, great! Uh huh. Fine. I'll see you tomorrow then."
He then hangs up and leaves his office. He then sees Lincoln and Linka wrapping their gifts. "That for Luan?" asked Neil.
"It is dad, I'm glad she's turning fifteen now. And that she's no longer making her over the top pranks anymore" replied Lincoln.
Linka does recall Lane, her former pranking brother. "Well, at least Luan is nothing like Lane. I'm so glad I don't have to see that nut job joker again."
"Yeah, by the way there have been no news or reports on your old family?" asked Lincoln.
"No reports and no news. Something must've happened and I don't think the people I once called family is even alive" replied Linka.
Neil on the other hand is remaining quiet. He along with Gyro, Martin and Victor are the only ones who knows what happened to the gender bent louds.
"Well, I am gonna go and see what your other siblings are up to" said Neil.
"Oh dad. Timmy and Sunset are her room playing one of her video games, they already set up the wrappings on their gifts, Luna is at Sam's she also finished her gift wrapping and she's trying to make a new song and Leni is in the backyard with Loni and she also finished gift wrapping" replied Lincoln and Linka.
"Oh okay" then Neil realized. "I'm sorry, did you guys just say Loni is here?"
"Yeah he is" replied Lincoln and Linka. They then go back to gift wrapping their gifts. A box of accessories and mini gags for Mr. Coconuts and some new colored clown wigs.
Neil looks through the kitchen window and he sees Leni and Loni both of them sitting underneath a tree and chatting.
"Okay, okay. So, what kind of color wouldn't clash with magenta?" asked Leni.
"Hmm, that could either be black if it's spring or orange if it's winter" replied Loni.
"So true, also how things are going with school?" asked Leni.
"Pretty great, not making friends. But that doesn't matter to me right now, what matters is that I gotta find a way to get my grades up so I can go to high school. I mean I know I won't make friends there anymore, but all I wanna do is become more than the old Loni Loud, which I am a Carmichael now" replied Loni.
Leni smiles and hugs him. "You're gonna do great Loni, and I know that you'll make friends. Some day."
Loni hugs her back. "Thanks Loni, also what do you mean by I'll make friends some day?"
Leni chuckles and kisses his cheek. "That's a surprise for next school year Loni my love."
Loni smiles and cups her cheek and they both seal it with a kiss.
Neil smiled seeing this. "That is damn cute."
Gwen stands next to him and kisses his cheek. "Sure is." Lily giggles as she's being carried.
(Royal Fortress, lower decks.)
Boomer is busy checking on some aircraft in the construction sector, and with him is Tadashi and Penny.
"Now this is what I call making an aircraft army!" said Boomer as he sees all the Kirov Airships being built and/or repaired.
"We have approximately twenty five Kirov Airships available. They will be deployed when trouble occurs, but as of now only three can be sent out to patrol the skies" replied Penny.
"Each of these Kirov Airships contain a fifty five ton high explosive bomb, just the like the common Kirov's from the war of the three powers" replied Tadashi.
Boomer chuckles. "Oh man, this is just damn awesome!"
"They're not as large or superior to the Super Kirov, but they're useful for heavy bombardment. They just need an aerial escort" said Tadashi.
"Really does bring back tons of memories of that war I was a part of, I wasn't happy though when Premiere Cherdenko and Co-Commander Oleg took half of the Kirov's to attack America using Cuba" replied Boomer. "So glad I got involved and helped the Allies fight them off, sad to say I had to shoot down the Kirov Airships."
"We know how the history you, Victor and Martin had. But that was the past and this is the future" replied Tadashi.
"Yeah, so I guess this is all there is to show me" said Boomer.
"Not exactly" said Penny. "We also have more weapons from the war you were from, and all of them are being built."
"There's more?!" asked Boomer. He follows them into a large room inside he sees tons of Soviet machines of war being built.
The Almighty Apocalypse Tank. The battle hardened Sickle Walker, The Prototype weaponed Reaper Walker, The sturdy Grinder, and The trusty Bullfrog transport, the menacing Hammer Tank, The dreaded V4 Rocket Launcher and The Powerful Tesla Tank. He can also see some giant MCV's put on standby, they were to be deployed when expansion is needed, along with some Sputnik outpost vehicles and Soviet Ore collectors.
Boomer is at a loss for words from all of this, Penny and Tadashi smile at the way he looks. Kinda like a kid in a toy store.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa in the name of the USSR! God damn this is just wicked awesome!" yelled Boomer. He checks on each weapon. "This is just unbelievable! So every weapon from the war is here?!"
"Well the Terror Drones are being built in another room next door, but Victor and Martin built some new kinds of vehicles, some of them are from the war you forgot about" said Penny.
"Oh yeah, the ride of the Red Army incident. Also known as Red Alert 2 and the Psychic Dominator Disaster" replied Boomer. "I didn't know about that war until DR. Gregor Zelinsky told us about the Time Machine he used with Cherdenko and Krukov" replied Boomer. "Those bastards!"
They both understand that he was pissed off at the history of how Red Alert began. "So, you wanna know the new tech?" asked Tadashi.
Boomer smiles. That was something that could cheer him up. "Sure, let's see em."
They then meet some weapons Boomer may or may not have seen. And Boomer is shocked at this new kind of weaponry.
"We have the Rhino Tank, a large vehicle that is sturdier than the basic Hammer Tank. This vehicle might not the same speed as the Hammer Tank, but the fire power is almost to the might of three Hammer Tanks. Its ability is to send out a cluster of shock mines, which can create small explosions and stun enemy vehicles in place" said Penny.
"The SledgeHammer SPG, a mighty Anti-Tank weapon taken from the blueprints of the Soviet ISU-152 and the SU-85 Tank Destroyer, this vehicle can take down any armor and enemy installation from a distance. Its ability is to hail down scatter rounds, which is perfect against enemy troops, but it has to stay still to do that" said Tadashi.
"The Union Heavy Tank, a mighty vehicle merged from the blueprints of the old Black Guard Apocalypse Tank and the front line Apocalypse Tank. This large tank can be able to allow troops to bunker within it so they can fire out of it. Turing it into an anti-infantry, anti-vehicle, sniper and pretty much any soldier that bunkers it, and with its dual main guns and anti-air rockets it can act as both offense and defense. The side effect is the reactor within it, should it be destroyed the reactor will overload with the blast radius of the Soviet Super Reactor" replied Penny.
Boomer was impressed by this. "Okay, okay. Now this is what I like to see, some new tech with some new benefits to the battle. I can't wait to see them in the fight!"
"And we also have some new Naval and Aerial forces, you wanna check them out?" asked Tadashi.
"Sure why not!" said Boomer. They then leave the war factory, but Boomer then sees a crate. "What the heck is this?"
He opens it and sees this red and black spandex suit. "Oh that? That's a prototype stealth suit Victor and Martin built, but they decided to put it on hold. No clue why. Now come on, we got some aircraft to show you" said Penny.
Boomer then looks back and sees them walking away, he looks to the suit and smiles. He then takes it with him and hides it inside his jacket, and catches up with Penny and Tadashi.
They then enter the Airfield of the Base.
"Wow! I remember some of this shit!" said Boomer. "Though, why isn't is merged with the Airship hangar?"
"Victor said he wanted both category of aircraft to be separated. To keep up the space" replied Penny.
Boomer can see the air-dominant MiG Fighter and the Vicious Twinblade Gunship. "Oh yeah, I loved these guys! War birds of the Soviet union!"
"Well, Victor made more than just them" said Tadashi. Boomer then sees some new aircraft. "What in the hell?!"
"The Sukhoi Interceptor, faster and far more superior to the MiG fighter. Shoots out missiles and can catch up to any aircraft, its armor can withstand the rounds of any surface anti-air guns. This thing is used for heavy aerial combat, not for escorting airships" said Penny.
"The Ilyshin Attacker, with the similar armor of the MiG fighter, but this is no superiority jet. These girls hail down rockets onto clusters of enemy ground forces, they're firepower is not that powerful to siege structures, but they can drop incendiary rounds onto garrisoned fortifications" said Tadashi.
"Wow! Only two and they can inflict tons of hell! Okay, okay. What's next?" asked Boomer.
They make their way to another room, the Soviet Naval Shipyard.
"Dang right! That's the stuff I loved in the Russian army! The God damn navy!" yelled Boomer.
He watched as all of the ships were being built. Bullfrogs were also being built there, same with some Grinders. But he saw the ones that really put naval firepower to the USSR.
I'm talking about the electrifying Stingray Strike Craft, the Stealthy Akula Sub and the pride of the USSR Navy, The Dreadnought. This brings back many memories of when he teamed up with the Allies and combined their Dreadnoughts and Aircraft Carrier to take down the Black Tortoise.
"So, what new navy is there here?" asked Boomer.
"The only thing new for the navy here would be just one" said Penny.
"Just one?" asked Boomer. "Why?"
"Victor said that the navy in the Soviet division is strong enough, but having a powerful escort ship would be good" replied Tadashi.
"And what is this ship?" asked Boomer.
They then showed him.
Boomer is shocked to see this vessel. Armed with sixteen Dreadnought V4 rocket launchers, two anti-air rocket launchers and dual Apocalypse tank Drakuv guns.
"Boomer, this is the Slava Class Cruiser. This mighty vessel as you've noticed is bombardment, anti-surface and anti-air. Built for escorting the Dreadnoughts to locations where bombardment is necessary. Its ability is to send out a targeting laser, once it has a lock on its target she will unleash a hailstorm of every weapon she's got!" said Penny.
They then hear a thud, they turn around and see Boomer has fainted. "Huh, didn't see that coming" said Tadashi.
"Let's get him someplace where he won't get hurt by everything" said Penny. They both carry him out of the Naval Shipyard.
(FutureTech HQ.)
Martin, Victor and Jack Cyber are both looking for any uninhabited islands. Why? Well, why is Gyro with them.
"So, anything?" asked Gyro.
"Still searching" replied Victor.
"Be patient man" said Jack Cyber.
"What is going on?" asked Becky.
They all see Becky and Carol. "Our classes are over for the day and we decided to come by here and see what you guys are up to" replied Carol.
Becky shares the chair with Martin. "So, what are you guys doing?" Martin chuckles at her actions.
"Well, we're trying to find any inhabited island within the Pacific" replied Victor.
"Why though?" asked Carol as she also sits next to Victor and gets onto the large keyboard.
Jack Cyber is about to reply, but then he realizes something. "Huh, I have no idea." They all look to Gyro.
"Dude, why the hell are we doing this?" asked Victor.
"Yeah, you just came here and asked with no specifics at all" said Martin.
Gyro sighs. "Look, I don't know either. The fates told me to find one okay?"
They all decided to let it be and continue the search, Becky and Carol also help out.
Then Carol finds something. "Got one!" They all look at the island she found.
Gyro also sees this. "Quickly now! Tell me the standards of survival for any animal there and any info!"
Carol types it down and she sees the info through satellite scanning. "Okay, so it says here the only life there are tons of natural trees creating this nice livable environment, lots of open field zones for grazing, lots of drinkable water grounds from lakes, rivers, stream and water falls, there is a volcano that rarely is active, some small animal life composed of lizards, insects, rodents and whatever and a few mountain ranges. It also says that this island was formed somewhere around 1469 during a volcanic eruption. The islands name is Cretacia, named because there have been some fossils of the last dinosaurs of the Cretaceous era, the last ones to live until the end of their dinosaur lives and generation, it was discovered by some shark biologists and they decided to leave it be."
They look to the image of the island from the satellite. Some of them are confused by it, but Gyro smiles.
"Okay then, I'll come back when I got some news from the Fates" Gyro turns into a raven and flies off.
They were all confused by this. "Well, that happened" said Jack Cyber.
"Still, what the heck was this even all about? Why would he want you guys to look for an island?" asked Becky.
"Whatever the purpose is, we'll find out soon" said Martin.
"But I wanna know, why does this island look like that?" asked Victor.
They all look back to the image of the island. It looked like the shape of a Dinosaur's Claw or better yet a Velociraptor's claw.
(Cue Tyrannosaurus roar!)
To be continued …..
A/N: Tomorrow is someone's B-Day! And why did they even look for this island? What is Gyro's intentions? Only time will tell. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
C&C Red Alert 3 is the property of EA Games, the new Soviet vehicles are the property of Red Alert 3 Corona Mod. I know the name of that Mod sounds dumb, but the game and its new units are so cool!
