Spells and Louds
Chapter 282: New family ties
(Spellman Estate.)
The sun shines once more onto the home of the Spellman family, and all of them are up and getting ready for the day.
All of them are scrambling to check if they have everything.
"Got our bags ready" said Lincoln.
"Got our lunches" said Linka.
"Got all the things Kick might need for his spelling bee practice which is due next week!" said Timmy.
"Got all of our homework done and ready to be passed" said Leni.
"No upcoming tests, but I got a quiz today" said Sunset.
"Got a rehearsal today later, gig with me and my band this Friday" said Luna.
"Reports on the reconstruction on the sacred library are here, the notes for this morning's school announcements and I am going to have a meeting with the Guardian later, I have no clue what it's all about" said Neil.
Gwen then hands him a cup of coffee and the kids some water bottles. "You guys don't cause any trouble, but if trouble does concur then handle it if you can."
"Bye mom!" they all say as they head out.
"Bye Gwen, be back later!" said Neil. He heads for the great gate and heads to Ever After.
Gwen then picks up Lily and they both head to the couch alongside Courage.
She then hands Lily and book and they start reading, just then the phone rings. "Courage watch over Lily, I'll be back."
Gwen heads to the phone while Courage helps her read, if she can understand a word he's saying.
"Hello Spellman Residence. Gwen here" said Gwen.
She then changes her smiling expression to a shocked one. "What?"
Courage, Lily, Washington and Victoria all look to the direction of Gwen, they were confused by this.
Gwen's shocked look turns into a smile. "Okay. Well, that sounds awesome, and I'm sure the rest of the kids will be happy to know of this. I'll be there at your place soon." She then hangs up the phone and goes back to the living room.
She picks up Lily. "New plan Lily, we're gonna visit your uncle Steven." Lily giggles at this.
(Royal Woods Elementary.)
The three Spellman kids get off the Vulture, they meet up with Jordan and their pals.
Clyde spots something odd. "Guys look!"
They all see it was Polly, talking to Rusty?
"Whoa! What the heck happened there?" asked Mollie.
"When did this happen?" asked Sadie.
"Looks like they made up, or are trying to make up" said Liam.
Jordan looks to Lincoln. "Did you talk to Polly about straightening it up with Rusty?"
"I did and it looks like it's working pretty well. The best way for Rusty to see things differently and not to see what his father sees, is to let the girl who was there for him help out" replied Lincoln.
"Wow, looks like his life will turn around, but it's not gonna be an easy task. He's a long way from full redemption" said Linka.
"Maybe we shouldn't be too hard on him anymore, I think he's suffered enough" said Zach.
"Agreed, I think we should hang out with him now" said Stella.
"Well, you guys can chill with him and I guess we can hang out at lunch. Just as long as he's seated away from us gals and Jordan" said Kat.
"Otherwise someone's getting a talk with Huggins in his office" said Cookie.
"They got a point, I know one thing and that's Rosato and her hatred still burning" said Tabby.
Jordan sighs. "Not wrong there, gonna be a long way from having me forgive him."
Lincoln holds her hand. "And I'm not gonna force it upon you, I'll know when you feel like forgiving him."
Jordan kisses his cheek. "You know me all too well." Then a camera flashes, they all turn to see who it was.
"Grandma Hailey?!" said Lincoln, Linka and Timmy.
"Hi kids! Just came by to say hi and that is so adorable!" said Hailey. She's riding her pink Porsche.
"That is one pink car" said Zach.
"Haven't seen that much pink since Luan and I went on an all-out prank pie strike on each other, classic" said Giggles.
The three kids and Jordan go to her. "Grandma, I thought you went back home or something?" asked Timmy.
"What are you still doing here in Royal Woods?" asked Linka.
"Well, I won't be going back to Canada, because I'm moving here to town!" said Hailey.
"What?!" they said in shock.
"That's right, I now own the vacant home neighboring the loud house, and I took up a job as the new history teacher for the Royal Woods middle school. Once summer vacation is over of course" replied Hailey. "But as of now, I am the substitute teacher for all schools in town."
The three kids had no idea what to think of this.
"And I called your mom earlier, and she was shocked at first, but she was glad that I could live here. I love being close to my new grandkids!" said Hailey. She then looks to the girl with the brown braided hair. "And you must be Jordan Rosato, I remember you from my daughter's birthday."
"Hello ma'am, we haven't really interacted yet. But I look forward to hanging out with you soon" replied Jordan.
"Same here sweetie, you and Lincoln look so cure together" she then checks her watch. "Oh, looks like I should get going now, see you all after classes!" she then drives off.
They watch her car leave the elementary school.
Vanzilla has already driven off and Lucy, Lisa, Lana and Lola were shocked as well.
"Huh, so she's the one living next door" said Lucy.
"She seems so nice and almost still young" said Lana.
"Their grandma's car looks pretty" said Lola.
"I wonder who's the one who lives on the other side of the road from our house" said Lisa.
They all look to the three confused and shocked Spellman kids.
"What. Just. Happened?" asked Timmy.
"I think our family just got close, sorta" said Linka.
"You think Uncle Steven is also living in town?" asked Lincoln.
They all hear the school bell. Jordan grabs Lincoln. "We can solve that mystery after school." They all follow suite and into school.
But Lincoln and Linka send a text to Luna, Leni and Sunset. They needed to know this.
(Somewhere at a house across from the Louds.)
Gwen's Ford Mustang parks itself and spots the Volkswagen bug. "Huh, I guess he still kept dad's old ride."
She then picks up Lily and she knocks on the door. It opens and the one to greet them was her brother. "Hey sis, welcome to my humble home!"
"Hi Steven. So, you live here now?" asked Gwen.
"Sure do, mom thought it was a good idea that we both have our own place to stay just as long as it's in the same neighborhood and town" replied Steven.
They both enter the living room and he places a plate of cookies. "And you still know how to cook" said Gwen.
"Mom was the one who taught me while you were off with your own life, and I might not be much of a good chef in the kitchen but at least I'm trying" replied Steven.
"Okay, so I have three questions for you bro. Where does mom live? Have you got a job? And how did you two make this happen?" asked Gwen.
Steven then drinks his can of beer. "Okay, so the house from across the street is the loud house, the house on its left is where mom is the residence there moved out last year so she lives there and I moved into this one since the owners kicked the bucket, or in other words passed away." he uses his fingers to gesture the passed way part.
Gwen was cautious about one thing when it comes to homes that were once owned by elderly. "No hauntings?"
Steven chuckles. "Come on sis, no hauntings here. Besides, I doubt the guy or lady who used to live here would even come back to scare my lights out. And now for your second question, I do have a job but I start first thing tomorrow."
"And what's your job?" asked Gwen.
"Well, since I do have some skills at being a cook and waiter, I work at the fusion restaurant Aloha-Comrade" said Steven. "Though, I'm starting out as the guy who washes dishes and takes out the trash."
"Whoa, that does sound like a good starter job. But you could ask Lynn Loud Sr. He might have an opening at his restaurant" said Gwen.
"I'll think about that when I move away from the job I got. And now for the third question you asked, how we got this whole thing setup was from those three smart guys" said Steven.
Gwen was confused by this. "Smart guys?" she then realizes. "Martin, Victor and Jack Cyber?!"
"Yeah, those smart guys. But they said some of you call them nerds and that they're okay with it" said Steven.
"True, so how did all of this go on as planned?" asked Gwen.
"Well, they did some sort of research on the homes that are available and they found us these two houses nearing the loud house, next they helped us transport all of our belongings out of Canada and helped make us into official US citizens. They wanted to tell you guys about this, but mom said she wants it to be a surprise" replied Steven. "Also mom sold the old house, a lot of the stuff we had from before has been split into my attic and mom's attic."
Gwen was shocked. "Wow, this is just …. Wow. Well, I guess I'm happy you and mom are staying here in Royal Woods. We get to hang out when you're not working."
"That would be on Sundays, and sometimes on Friday's. The rest of the days is my working hours. And if you're wondering, mom's current job is to be the substitute teacher for all three schools in town. But come next school year, she'll be the new history teacher in Royal Woods middle school" replied Steven.
"Which is the same school Lincoln and Linka are going. They are gonna have one hell of an adventure when they reach that level" said Gwen.
"So, anything else on your mind sis?" asked Steven.
"Well, Lily and I were planning on just hanging out at our home for a while and then take a small trip to the park and maybe visit Loona and her pups" said Gwen.
"Oh yeah, I forgot about the hellhound lady who married my brother-in-law Sergei, and I think mom also forgot as well" said Steven.
"Well, you said you won't have work on Sunday, so how about you and mom come by to the Spellman Hell Mansion?" asked Gwen.
"Now that sounds like a plan sis" replied Steven.
Gwen was glad her two family members were living nearby, she knows it's gonna be one hell of a ride for all of them now.
(Ever After High.)
Neil enters his office and puts all the paper work onto the table. "Damn, was this day hard or what?!" he then sits on his chair.
"Or what?" Niel is startled by the presence of Gyro in the room. "Son of a monkey's ass! What the hell are you doing here?!"
Gyro looks to him confused. "Seriously? Meeting?"
Neil then recalls. "Oh yeah, that shit. So what did you wanna talk about?"
"N'Zoth is dead" replied Gyro.
Neil's smile is gone and his eyes turn into Deathwing's eyes. "What? How?!"
Gyro looks out the window. "The champions of Azeroth ventured into the heart of the Waking City, Nyalotha. Wrathion led them into the fortress and they freed the great Naga queen, Azshara."
"What?! Why? I thought she was in allegiance with that damned old god!" said Deathwing.
"As did I, but she was nothing more than just a pawn in his grand scheme. Like you were" said Gyro.
"True, so what did she give them in return of freeing her?" asked Deathwing.
"She wants the old god dead, and she also doesn't want to be part of any turmoil the Azerothians have in mind. But she did give Wrathion a weapon that could neutralize N'Zoth from his carapace form, the black blade: Xal'Atath."
"Hmm, and what of Azshara?" asked Deathwing.
"Gone, she left through a void portal. No clue where, but I doubt we've seen the last of her" replied Gyro.
"And how did my grandson defeat that wretched Old God?" asked Deathwing.
"N'Zoth tried to control all the champions of Azeroth, but Wrathion was able to stab the old god with the black blade, he lost his control and broke free as a giant and ugly freaky whatever he was. I was there when it happened and I have to admit that N'Zoth was stronger when he was stationary, he was hideous when he was on his two legs and less of a threat" replied Gyro. "N'Zoth was ultimately slain with the power of the Heart of Azeroth which fired the powers of the Forge of Origination, empowered by the Engine of Nalak'sha."
Deathwing sighs in relief. "Finally, the old god is gone. At least Azeroth is safe, for now."
"True, there is still the shadowy presence of Sylvannas still lurking in the darkness, as for you grandson. No clue if Anduin will accept him as his advisor, he does want to stray from the corrupted path you took" replied Gyro.
"Good for him, amongst all of my children and grandchildren, I am truly proud of Wrathion. Through him he could forge a new future for all those who seek peace and justice. I would like to speak to him, but I wish not to compromise my current eternity of exile" replied Deathwing.
Gyro looks to him. "Perhaps one day, we'll let them know that the great destroyer is alive and changed for the better."
Deathwing smiles. "That is what I am counting on." He then reverts his mind back to Neil. "Whoa! I heard all of it and that sounded awesome!"
"Thanks, and now for something else I should tell you" said Gyro.
"Is it about the owl lady?" asked Neil.
"Yes, my informant still has some hard times trying to figure out which dimensional route to take in order to find Edalyn Clawthorne, all attempts have failed and I told him to leave that part to me" said Gyro.
"Jeez! Is it that hard to find out where her realm is?" asked Neil.
"Yes, yes it is. I decided to look into the old tomes of the late great Medivh, I believe that his books cold hold the key to finding out where she is. But I do have another ally who wishes to aid me in this campaign" said Gyro.
"Is it one of your guardian apprentice's?" asked Neil.
"Nope, the Rune mage from Runeterra" replied Gyro.
Neil was shocked by this. "Ryze?! Really? Why?"
"Well, he found more of her wanted posters in Valoran and he was able to get all of them and asked me about them. So I told him about the most powerful and dangerous witch in existence, and he decided to help me in finding her so I may take her down. He doesn't want anything in return, he agrees that someone as powerful as Edalyn will become a prime target by any evil who wants her powers and I intend to claim this power and stop her" replied Gyro.
Neil had no clue what to make of all this. "On one hand, it sounds like a good idea to stop this witch, but on the other hand power is not quite good to obtain. As Dehaka once said to Kerrigan, Power can be a trap."
"A trap that I have evaded many times. Need not worry about this Spellman, I will take control of it and ensure that this witch doesn't cause any more trouble. We'll tell the rest of the team when the time is right." He then turns into a raven and flies off.
Neil sighs. 'This is gonna be one hell of a new journey.' Then he gets a phone call. "Neil Spellman speaking."
He then has a shocked expression. "What?!" Yup, know he knows about Gwen's mom and brother staying in Royal Woods.
(Karazhan.)
The Raven flies to the balcony of the tower and morphs back into Gyro. He looks to the training grounds and spots Raven (Teen Titans) Meditating, but she wasn't alone. Robin was also there sparring with some of the skeleton guards and Pyrrha was watching over them.
"I guess she finally decided to let her boyfriend come along, is this a vacation away from missions or something?" Gyro then heads into his study.
He looks through all of the things he has obtained over his journeys, he then looks at the cage with the new creature he found.
It was toad-like humanoid. Small in size, smaller than a dwarf, wearing some sort of body armor with dark green skin and glowing reddish eyes. "Hey, can I go home now? I'm sorry for sneaking into your home."
Gyro hits the small cage with his staff. "No, unless you tell me who you work for."
"Never, I will never tell you who or where I came from! I will never let Lord Grimmes and Commander Sasha down!" the toad soldier then covers his mouth.
Gyro smiles. "Thank you for the intel. And whatever world you're in will be one to find, unless you tell me."
"You'll never get me to speak about the world of Amphibia" said the toad soldier, he then covers his mouth again.
Gyro smirks. "Bingo." Gyro then tosses in a dead giant fly into the cage, in which the large toad eats it.
Gyro then uses his magic onto a book and he looks through the realms. "Hmm, seems like I need to know more about this world. It's not gonna be easy but I'll have to scout it, myself!"
He then turns into a raven and flies out of the tower and through a portal.
Pyrrha notices this. 'I hope he found out where Edalyn Clawthorne is.'
To be continued …..
A/N: And that's the aftermath, and the whole idea of the Owl House will be soon. Somewhere around summer. The world of Amphibia will be for next time, unless you guys got an idea on how it could all go down. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
