Chapter 712.
"Happy B-Day again, Lucy Loud."
- In collaboration with... MARVELOMAC1010 Studios!

(October 30. The Loud House.)

A dang good day for everyone, the day before the big holiday of spookiness and all that, we see the backyard of the Loud House is looking quite festive, ominous and decorated for the darkness, and this event is the 11th birthday of the girl in the 5th grade, the Gothic sister of the Loud's, Lucy Loud.

Lucy Loud's attire: A Black t-shirt with a white bleeding skull in the middle, black long sleeve jacket with white and black stripes on the sleeves, black fingerless gloves with spider emblems, black skirt and a black belt with a silver bat-shaped buckle, black and white knee high socks and black shoes. She is also wearing a black bat necklace and her right eye is showing, and her hair is held by a skull-shaped hair clip.

Lucy dressed himself for this moment, to show everyone that she is growing up and this is a good look for her, now she doesn't have to be afraid to hide her eyes, and there are a lot of guests within this party, and yes Lori and Leni are there, and so many good friends and the Loud family, and even Leonard Loud (Gramps.) For Lucy, this is a good day and soon to come for her, is the spooky holiday tomorrow.

Rita is helping serve the food that her husband made, and she notices her husband is going around with the food back and forth between the house and the backyard, and he doesn't seem dazed when he walks by the Halloween decorations, and Rita smiles seeing this.

'Looks like Lynn is already adapting well with this. Now he's manning up and facing his fears, but I know he's having it hard trying to handle not being scared of Halloween. But, he is managing... Also, I think he could step up, if he takes the girls trick or treating.' Rita then serves some punch to the other kids, and she even hands one to her son.

"Thanks mom." Lincoln watches the whole party go on and he watches as the Goth's are discussing some things, such as a big event Lucy plans soon, whatever it is. Lincoln then goes over to Jordan. "So, we ready for the big plan tomorrow?"

Jordan nods. "We spoke with our friends and all of them are fine with us not going to the Middle School Costume Party. We have our own task and out task is to help someone have the best first ever Halloween moment in our town and we're gonna make that thing happen."

Lincoln smiles. "Yeah, this is gonna be an awesome day for that little buddy. I wonder what he's gonna be dressed as. You have your costume set and ready?" He then drinks the punch.

Jordan nods. "Sure did, and we're gonna be so overdosed with cuteness when we see that little adorable bundle of joy tomorrow." Jordan then notices something. "Hey, Lincoln. Where the heck is Lucy? Also, where is Luna?"

Lincoln looks around and then he spots them. "There they are." They spot Luna and Lucy, talking to someone and this confuses them.

"What the heck is going on there?" asked Jordan. "Also, is that the hooded guardian man from the other world? What the heck is that guy doing here?"

Lincoln is confused. "No idea, but whatever he's doing here, looks like Luna and Lucy wanted to talk to him. We won't know the truth unless they tell us, so we should get them to tell us about the whole thing." Jordan agrees with this and so they continue to enjoy this party and the duo talk with Taylor about what she has planned for tomorrow.

While the party keeps going on, we see Luna and Lucy Loud, and the duo are speaking with someone at the side of the house and this person's name is the Guardian of the realms, Gyro. He is being told about what happened, the deaths of the Royal Louds, and what they can do to get them to tell why they do not recall they're own demise.

Gyro thinks about this. "Very ominous and odd. But bringing them to Royal Woods, would be tough to manage, there is a way to make this happen." Gyro then manifests a book. "This book of ancestral sprit summoning." He hands the book to Lucy.

Lucy sees the book, and it bears some markings and symbols from the world known as Argus, and also had some necromantic emblems all over and Lucy is truly fascinated. "Wow. Wicked. So, this book is gonna help us get our relatives here?"

Gyro nods. "There is a spell within, on the 50th page within, and it requires some potential and good reading to know and understand what it all means. You will need some items that aren't too hard to get, and luckily these would do." Gyro hands Lucy a small bag. "The contents, well some contents are within and do not open this until the time has come to speak with the ancestors in Scotland, got it?"

Lucy looks to Gyro and she nods. "I promise, Guardian. You have my word."

Luna smiles seeing this and then she speaks with the Guardian. "Thank you for this, we all wanna know why our relatives from long ago didn't tell us about their demise, and this might help and we wanna help them. But, I need to know... What of the louds and Spellman's? Did they go to Loch Loud?"

Gyro then informs them about what happened when the Louds and the Spellman's went to Loch Loud and how they tried to deal with the one week vacation, fix the town and crowned the new Duke, along with taking down the Morag in that world and how she was a horrible person.

This surprises Lucy and Luna, but then they smile and they were happy to know that even their counterparts in another world are capable of handling a problem such as this, and it almost sounds like what they have done. Now Luna is wondering. 'Hmm, maybe we can have the chance to see our hero counterparts soon, they haven't been here in a long while.'

Gyro then hears some spooky and ominous music. "Apparently the party has begun, and you two should get going. This is after all the birthday party of Lucy and it won't be much if the birthday gal is here, and also call this little thing with the book a birthday gift from me to you, little Goth girl."

Lucy smiles hearing this. "Thank you oh great guardian of the realms, this is appreciated sir." Then she has an idea. "Wait, sir... How about you join us in this Birthday Party. You did come all the way here to give us this for helping what we need, but you could use something to eat."

Luna chuckles. "Yeah, Lucy does have a point. Stay a while and enjoy this party with us."

Gyro thinks about this. "Well, I wouldn't wanna be rude now and walk away, ah heck. Sure, I'll join this little Gothic Birthday Party." They all head back to the Party, and the Guardian joins them and enjoys this party, even if it is a Gothic Themed thing.

Gyro then goes over and he speaks with Lincoln on asking what he did during the whole vacation, but then..."Repent! Repent this wretched cultist gathering and be freed!"

Gyro knows that voice, from another world. "Oh hell no." They all see this grown man with white hair, and he is dressed like a priest and this confuses them, but makes Gyro angry. "Oh hell no, not this guy. I have seen him in two other worlds, but now here?! Seriously?!"

The way Gyro said those words, did not make the others happy, and Lily hides behind Lisa. "Stay behind me, little sister. This man shall not harm you."

Rita then goes over to speak with the man. "Excuse me sir, can we help you?"

"No, no you shall not. For I have come to help all of you, to be cleansed of this wretched and sacrilegious cultist event. This must be ended and cleansed and I shall not have this act be here in the world of the living, you shall all be freed and secured from this damnation and to the upcoming day of what unholy ethics is to come!"

They all have no idea what is going on, and then Leni asks. "Umm, what did he just say? I mean, I know I am not dumb anymore... But he's not making any sense."

Gyro explains, but Lisa does. "The man is a priest, he is Alfred Goodman from Hazeltucky and he is in charge of the only church there. The very same church with no one ever coming in because of his annoying presence. He is also responsible for multiple disturbance complaints across their town, and not just their town, he was also sighted in Beaverton."

All of them are shocked to hear this and so Lori confronts him. "Sir, you should leave now. We're trying to celebrate the birthday party of our little sister and you're acting like a total annoyance and we will call the cops if you do not leave."

Alfred Goodman scoffs and he continues to speak. "This is no mere party for children. Those little monsters are nothing more than spawns of evil and darkness and they must be cleansed and be undone by the darkness and path that they have been led to!"

Lucy and her friends thought about this. 'Well, we sure wish we did got made by darkness, but apparently we are not.'

The madman continues to rant around. "The word I have claimed said about this town and how it must be cleansed of what unholy acts have been made! This little organization of cultists is one of them and I shall be the one to ensure that they are cleansed from the land, or redeemed through the light!"

"Especially that one!" He points to Lucy. "Especially her name! She bears the name of the Devil, she is the name of Lucifer, and I shall make sure she is unfit to be amongst the good world of all mankind! She is not human and must be dealt with by the lord almighty!"

This upsets everyone, they are all miffed, and so Lincoln and Jordan confront the man. Starting with Lincoln. "Sir, that is my sister you are talking about and she has been like this since she came to the house and we're alright with the way she is! We don't know if this is her Gothic ways or just a phase, we wouldn't show her as an outcast, none of us would!"

Jordan then speaks. "Also, just because her name is Lucy doesn't mean she has the name of the devil, that name Lucy is short for many other names that doesn't have anything to do with the devil, and you're supposed to be a good man of god, but apparently you show no signs of that and you most certainly aren't doing the actual word of the lord himself, you annoying bastard!"

Lincoln then speaks again. "You think you have all the rights to come here and ruin this event for my little sister? You are making the biggest mistake of your life! No one picks on my family, Lucy is loved and appreciated and I am dang proud to be her brother who would always look up to her, and you sir are nothing but a horrible, horrible man who doesn't belong here! So, leave now!"

Hearing this makes Lucy touched, her brother standing for her makes her feel loved, Luna is proud of her brother standing up for Lucy and she goes over and stands with them and so do the rest of the louds and the party guests. Lola then speaks. "We're all with Lucy, and you sir are a horrible man! Get the heck off of our property you freeloader!"

Alfred Goodman scoffs and is ready to scold them all, but then Gyro takes to the skies and he slams his staff down and is in front of the man and his eyes are glowing green and then white. "You should leave, before I condemn you to hell..." His right hand glows red with the symbol of a pentagram. "And see if you like playing, with the devil... Don't think I can do that... Or, be smite by him instead?" His other hand glows and shows a white cross.

Alfred Goodman is horrified by this and he flees in fear and goes into his car and he drives off. They all watch him leave, and they all cheer at this brave thing they all did. Gyro on the other hand is concerned. 'This is bad, this is super bad. This guy has been in two other worlds, but long gone in the world we are from, and now he is here?! Well, this is not a good thing. He'll be back.'

Lucy hugs her brother. "Thank you, Lincoln. Thank you."

Lincoln smiles, and he returns the hug and kisses her on the forehead. "You're my little sister, Luce. I gotta keep an eye out for ya. Always, little sis." They all awe at this sight and take some pics and the Goth's are fine with this.

Haiku then realizes something. 'Hmm, this Goth side of Lucy, might not be a Gothic thing. Lucy is going through a phase, something she is interested in. I know it, when she does reach her years in High School, then this phase will be gone.'

The large group then goes back to the party, and enjoy the 11th birthday of Lucy Loud. Happy Birthday little Goth girl.

To be continued...

A/N: Happy 11th Birthday Lucy Loud, and when she does advance to school, she'll be in the ranks from which Lincoln was once part of, and she'll be ready to make her own path and continue to grow up, and no... Lucy might have found what she needs, to bring the Loud Royal Family, to Royal Woods. Leave a review and tell me what you all think of this new chapter guys.

I just wanna say all my thanks to "Marvelomac1010" for the concept for what goes down in this party, and it's about to make one heck of a bad guy for them to deal with, and they already have someone to handle and his name is Edmund Richmund.

Date made: 9/2/21 – 9/3/21.
