Spells and Louds
Chapter 354: Calming, Busy July.
(FutureTech HQ.)
Martin, Victor and Penny are looking at what was left of some kind of large and long machine. "Can someone tell me what I'm looking at?" asked Martin. He looks to the single eyed lense on it that is cracked. "This is so weird looking."
Jack Cyber was the one who brought it in. "This here is from W.O.O.H.P. Jerry calls her G.L.A.D.I.S which is short for Gadget Lending and Distributing Interactive System. She was made to hand in the gadgets the spies needed for when they need to go on missions and she has been quite th useful machine for them for almost a year."
"Then why is she nothing but scrap parts now?" asked Penny. She holds one of the arms, but it falls off and shatters. "Oops, my bad."
"From what Jerry said, she was sent to the recycling plant to be crushed into scrap metal, because she has an attitude. Well from what I think, its kind being racist and I would love to kill the man for doing this" replied Jack Cyber. He does not look happy.
"And so you brought her here so we can see if she can be of use for us on the Fortress?" asked Victor. He then looks to the mangled up machine. "Well, with the ability to be handy and help out with anything, I think we can see what we can do."
"I for one agree on that, I find her to be a unique form of autonomous robotics with a personal AI. Like the Autobots and the Decepticons and XJ-9, and as well as Jack Cyber. Perhaps she can help in the Royal Fortress and provide some assistance to us and the rest of the team" replied Martin.
"But we're going to have to run some diagnostics to see how her source personality really is, we need to know if she can be trusted before uploading G.L.A.D.I.S into the Royal Fortress's systems, we're also going to need her blueprints to repair her." They see that her neck snaps and her head rolls off the table.
Jack Cyber catches her head. "And that's where your boy here got what we need." Jack Cyber is holding a thumb drive. "This is where all of her blueprints have been uploaded and with this we can fully bring G.L.A.D.I.S back and see if we can trust her."
They all clap at Jack Cyber's success. "Nice one man, always one step ahead and with a heck of a backup plan, excellent work Jack Cyber" said Victor.
"And he's one step ahead further." They see Tadashi and his little brother Hiro along with Dr. Banner. "Jack Cyber called us and we answered the call, Hiro and I can be able to help since our major is robotics."
Hiro goes over to the mangled machine. "It's gonna be a while before we can get her up and running, but if we keep it up and take some time to think then it'll be less than two week to rebuild G.L.A.D.I.S. All of us can pitch in and make her work, and maybe I can get the rest of my team to help out. Just not Fred."
Bruce Banner also goes to the mangled up machine. "I've dealt with making the time machine back in my world and I made myself possible. I think I can help out with bringing her back to life. She can't be that hard."
"We think it's a cool idea." They see the four spies: Alex, Sam, Clover and Brittany. "We've been friends with G.L.A.D.I.S and she's like the best girl to talk to and hang out" said Alex.
"Jerry was just upset from her because she kept doing all the gadget announcements and our mission debriefings, so obviously he was jealous that she was doing his job better" said Clover as she looks to the wrecked machine. "She's not bad once you get to know her."
Sam goes over to her. "Another reason why W.O.O.H.P removed her was because she was hacked easily and almost went rogue on all of us. But uploading her into FutureTech would make her unhackable and she would love to be around this place, you all treat each other with equality. Sort of."
"Whatever you guys have planned, we're onboard too. Heck, we'll help you guys out in fixing her" said Brittany. "This is our one chance to see her up and running again." The other spies agreed.
This concerned them. "You girls sure about helping us?" asked Penny. "It's your one month off from school and shouldn't you guys be having fun?"
"That does sound like a good idea, but when Jack Cyber said you guys were planning on bringing back G.L.A.D.I.S, we had to jump into the opportunity and help out" replied Alex.
"G.L.A.D.I.S is our friends and one of our BFF's, well robot BFF and we do not wanna let her down, not now and not ever!" said Clover. "And besides, we got the whole month to have some summer fun in this world and also check out the malls in Royal Woods too!"
"So give us some roles we can do to help and let's bring G.L.A.D.I.S back online!" said Sam.
"We just gotta make sure she doesn't interact with Jerry, she might snap and lose her cool" replied Brittany. "The last thing she needs is to see the face or even hear the voice of the guy who helped create her and then send her to be recycled. Not cool in truth."
They all smiled hearing this from the girls. "Very well then, let's get cracking and get this old girl back on her mounted neck. G.L.A.D.I.S is gonna need all the help she can get to come back to life and see what has happened while she was away" replied Martin.
They all nod and check out her schematics, and they were a lot. "Looks like she's got a lot of memory to store so much Intel" replied Victor. "But Harv was FutureTech's successful AI assistant and he stores more memory than her, we'll also need to update some of her systems and parts, we need her to be durable and strong and be able to handle a situation with equal ease and give her a backup power core just in case."
"And that's where I come prepared again!" Jack Cyber shows them an Energon Cube. "This will help her understand true equality and see as our transformers friends do, to see that there are other people and beings who she can trust."
They all smiled and clapped for what he just did, he was one step ahead once again. Then Bruce looks to Sam. "Where the heck is Boomer anyway?"
Sam then recalls. "He's in Royal Woods, something about half-off on donuts."
Victor hears this. "I'll be back and I'll be sure to bring you guy's more than ten boxes! We are not missing a shot at this kind of snack sale!" He leaves the room to get back to Royal Woods, while the others get to work.
(The Loud House.)
The house seems to be normal and nothing seems wrong, but then Lori enters the garage and she sees Lana and Lisa working on something. "What are you two doing in here?"
Lana sees Lori. "Hey sis, we're just busy making our Go-kart, with this baby we can win this!" Lana shows Lori the flier.
"What does a discount at the Greenwich pizza have something to do with this?" asked Lori.
Lana looks again. "Huh? Oh, sorry my bad. This was supposed to be for your birthday, looks like I'll have to look for something else to give you instead." Lisa and Lori chuckle at that one, then Lana shows her the real flier. "My favorite legendary races Bobbie Fletcher is going to be the judge of the annual Royal Woods Go-Kart race tomorrow, for the 4th of July!"
"Wow. That does look nice for you Lana and it says here you get to spend a whole two days with Bobbie Fletcher around town" said Lori. "I am impressed, though what the heck is Lisa doing here?"
Lisa finishes welding and she removes her welding mask. "I am not quite the fan of trying to race around for some big celebrity, but I am a sucker for assisting my older siblings when it comes to something like this, and that is tinkering with some machinery to make it better." Lisa then goes back to welding.
"In short she's my assistant" replied Lana. "And she's coming with me on the race too!"
Lisa sighs, stops welding and she removes her mask. "Lana, I believe you have forgotten what I have told you earlier, I will not be racing with you, but I will keep track on the condition of your vehicle to make sure that there aren't any problems. You'll have to find someone else to ride with you." Lisa then goes back to welding.
"Oh yeah, you and your fear of rides and junk." Lana then looks to Lori. "You wanna ride with me sis?"
Lori smiles and she kneels down to Lana. "As much fun as it would be to be there to back up my little sis and also ride with her, I don't think that could be possible. I can't quite fit your little car and it says in the pamphlet that there is an age restriction and I can't be a part of it, sorry Lana."
Lana looks down with sadness. "Maybe Lucy will wanna race with me, she's really supportive of us now."
"Lucy is busy with her friends at the Young Morticians Club." They see Lola come in. "You want a backup driver, then you got one Lana."
Lana and Lori are shocked to hear this, Lisa doesn't bother and continues to weld the car parts together. "That's right Lana, I wanna help you win the big race, in your handmade car."
"Really? Are you sure?" asked Lana. "Don't you have any big time pageants to go to? Or a photo-shoot?"
"Not at the moment sweetie, and I gotta be there to help out my twin with her contest." Lola goes towards Lana. "Plus, I have been doing more of the driving for a long, long time. Way before you took in the interest and I let you tune up my car. So, you got someone to ride with you, and we are going to beat the competition."
Lana smiles and she hugs her twin. "Thank you, thank you, thank you so much Lola." But then she stops hugging her. "Wait. What's the catch?"
Lola chuckles. "Alright, alright. I don't wanna wear whatever helmet you made, it'll ruin my hair. So I'm going to wear this." Lola shows them her pink and stylish helmet. "I was going to use this for one of my photo shoots on my little pink car, but I guess a Go-Kart Race is better, actual wind through my hair, and perhaps some of my fans will see this and take some photos of me and they could be noticed by some big time commercial people and pageants as well."
Lori chuckles. "Typical Lola. Well, have fun you guys and try not to hurt yourselves while doing this."
"We won't" replied the twins. Then a piece of the wheel falls off and Lisa stops with what she was doing and sees this.
"Lana, gum is not a suitable substance to keep hold of something made of steel" said Lisa as she goes for the hub cap.
"What? It works wonders with other stuff." Lana blow a bubble with her ABC bubble gum. Gross!
Lola feels like barfing. "We could just tune up my pink car, it could be better."
"What? No way Lola! It says in the pamphlet that we have to make our own ride and gosh darn it we are making our own ride!" said Lana.
"Okay, okay. Fine." Lola then looks to the small car they're making. "Where the heck is the engine?"
Lana's gum pops and Lisa stops walking and drops the hub cap. "How could we have forgotten about that one Lana?"
"Huh, I guess we were too busy with making this bad boy that we never thought about an engine" said Lana. "Well don't you guys worry, I got some leads at the dump where we can get a good engine with little to know cost."
Lisa sighs. "That does sound fine, or we could use some actual parts to make it work."
"Then it won't be handmade Lisa" groaned Lana. "Read the pamphlet, it has to be made by hand with whatever we can find."
Lola then looks between the Go-Kart and her little pink car and she has an idea. She then sees Lana and Lisa bickering. "Hey!" They both stop arguing. "We already have a homemade engine." Lola goes to her pink car and she opens it. "Daddy may have bought it, but it was Lana who tinkered around with it and made my car what it is now."
"What? But Lola, this is for your car" said Lana with worry.
Lola smiles and pets her twins head. "Let me add something of mine to this Go-Kart Lans, this is your handiwork and not mine, though it is in my pink car so you get the idea."
Lana then hugs Lola again. "Thank you again Lola! You're the best."
Lola smiles and she hugs her twin. "I got your back sis, always."
Lisa then gets the engine lift. "We should get this engine out and into the Go-Kart now, I'll have to deal with the welding while Lana you handle attaching the wiring and all the other parts to the cart and the engine. Now chop, chop people!"
They break the hug and they help out Lisa, they were determined this was going to help win the race tomorrow. Then they see Toxicroak and Smoochum come into the garage. "Where the heck were you guys?" asked Lana.
Smoochum points to their dad pushing Vanzilla back to the drive way, and he looks kinda exhausted from pushing the van. "Hey kids!"
Lana sighs. "Looks like I gotta work on Vanzilla later, or I could call someone to deal with her."
"I got it." They see Lori go to Vanzilla. "I did read the manual on how to manage an engine, you deal with your Go-Kart Lana. I got this." Lori opens Vanzilla and checks on her engine. They all go back to what they were doing.
(Spellman Estate.)
Lincoln and Linka, along with Jordan, Sam and Luna and they're Pokemon are in the bedroom of Lincoln and Luna and they have their instruments ready. Lincoln shows them what he can do. Sam is astonished by his ice and demon powers.
They see his right arm make a floating snowflake and then it turns black and his right arm turns demonic and has red claws on it, then he blows on the snowflake and it burns into purple fire.
"Whoa! That is the coolest and most wicked thing I have ever seen! And I thought Luna had the sickest icy vibe" said Sam. "The blood donation became a freaking blood pact, awesome."
Lincoln then closes his eyes and the shadowy arm is gone and his arm is back to normal. "Thanks Sam, though in truth. I was kinda scared having these powers, but thanks to Luna I've come to learn to accept it. But I won't be using it much, not for combat purposes unless the situation is critical."
"Are you planning on telling anyone else about this bro?" asked Linka.
Lincoln sighs. "Not yet, when the time is right I'll tell the rest of the team. For now, we are the only ones who know about what I can do, plus I still have to figure out how to make these powers work besides making snowflakes and purple fire, I have a lot to learn and I got my big sis to help me out."
Luna is touched by this and she pulls Lincoln in for a hug and kisses his forehead. "I'll be the best teacher to you bro, whether be in music or with these powers, I got your back bro."
They all smiled seeing this. Then Absol realizes. "What are the odds that Hollow might have known about this already? He is a master of the force and he can sense what is going on with you two."
Lincoln and Luna break the hug and they all look concerned. "True, true. But Hollow is a good friend and master to us, so he'll keep the secret safe and he knows that right now we have to focus on whatever situation is at hand, no time for learning the force since we pretty much almost mastered it. He hasn't come by to teach us in two weeks, so I assume he's done teaching us."
"Or, he could be busy and will come by next time to teach" said Jordan. "Hollow can be quite unpredictable and mysterious, at times."
"Not wrong, so are we going to get started on these songs?" asked Linka. They all smile and Luna brings out her lyrics notebook. "Let's make it happen people."
They go through the songs in her notebook. "Okay, so tomorrow is the 4th of July and our families will be awake to hoist the flag and so will the rest of us. We should also be prepared to make the songs and bring in the people for the job too" said Jordan.
"What are the songs we're handling with? Just for an extra precaution" said Linka.
Lincoln looks into the lyrics notebook. "Let's see. We got "Boots on the Ground", "Through the Firestorm" and "Born into Revolution". Two songs based on World War 2 and one song based on the battle of Independence Day, which is also a part of the whole Assassin's Creed thing."
"These songs are definitely going to rock it and roll it for tomorrow and we got the right guys for the job to perform the songs" said Luna. "Dad, mom and Uncles Leon and Sergei."
"Looks like we got it all covered" said Sam. Then she recalls something. "Oh yeah! Yesterday, dad found something really cool in the basement!"
"Was it a taxidermy animal?" asked Linka. "And if so was it an owl, a deer or a bear?" They all looked to Sam. They know Peter Sharp can be an odd guy at times.
"None of the above little dude, my dad and with the help of my little bro Kick, they found an abandoned Fallout shelter, it looks like the house I stayed in for some time has its own secrets and one of them is whoever lived there made that fallout shelter" replied Sam. "We found 76 guns, more than 4 first aid kits and a whole lot of food rations, though the rations were not good and we had to get rid of it. Also, it wreaked in there so we they to open to let the wind walk it all away, but we did find more than 500,000 bucks in a safe. I know dad is going to make those guns say hi when he tests them out."
"Wow. Now that is one long lost and totally worth it secret" said Jordan. "Those things were meant for the purpose of a Nuclear Fallout back in the Cold War."
Lincoln then looks to the lyric book and he goes wide eyed. Luna and Linka see this. "Lincoln, you okay bro?" The others also see this.
"Hey Linc? Something wrong?" asked Sam.
Then she gets surprised when Lincoln hugs her. "Thank you Sam, you just gave me an idea for another song and sure as heck it's gonna be the last one to perform tomorrow." Lincoln grabs his notebook and he heads to his desk and he starts making the lyrics to the song idea.
Sam smiles. "Happy to help."
Luna looks to Sam and chuckles. "Looks like we might have a song about the whole fallout shelter that your pops found, well done Sammy."
"Now that's what I call the innovative can-do spirit of the boy I love so much" replied Jordan.
"A song about a fallout shelter, does sound nice" replied Linka.
Sam then looks to Luna and she sees some of the books on her side of the desk. "What's with those books anyway? They don't seem to be in English."
Luna looks to the books and she looks to Sam, Linka and Jordan. She notices Lincoln isn't hearing them, so she whispers to the girls and the Pokémon. "Gyro gave me those books, he got them from Argus."
They all gasp in shock. "Argus? You mean the legion homeworld Argus?" asked Linka.
Luna sighs. "The very same one, and I know what you guys are thinking but no need to worry or get it into the bad vices guys, I'm only doing this so I can learn more demonic spells to keep my little bro safe. I can control the powers and with those books I can be able to learn more than just summon demon weapons and send out Fel Fire. You guys have to understand."
They all seemed worried at first, but then they smile and look to Luna. "We understand Luna, we know this is to keep Lincoln safe" said Sam. "We got your back, and like Lincoln with his secret, we'll also keep yours a secret too." Linka and Jordan also agree.
Luna smiles and she looks to her brother busy with a song. 'This is all for you baby bro.'
To be continued …..
A/N: Tomorrow for American time is Independence Day, and also the 4th of July. So we're bound to see one heck of a musical July light up and make it happen. Chances there won't be time to see the Go-Kart race, but it will be mentioned for the next chapter. Leave a Review and tell me what you all think.
Try and figure out what are the songs and from where they are based on – if not, then go type them on YouTube.
