Chapter 192
In collaboration with Vasmasdas1
(Saturday, the Loud House.)
Lincoln comes out of the house, dressed in his orange hoodie and blue jeans. He was told that he with Jordan, Luna, and her band will be headed to Bangers n' Mosh ahead so they can setup their gear for the big performance gig. The rest of their families are gonna catch up with them later.
Lincoln then sees Luna by her Ferrari waiting for someone on her phone. Then Jordan arrives on her bike. "Hey guys, morning handsome!"
"Morning beautiful" replied Lincoln.
"Sup little dude" said Luna while she's still looking to her phone. This concerns Lincoln and Luna.
"Everything alright sis?" asked Lincoln.
Luna then snaps back to reality. "Wha? Oh, sorry guys. I've been calling Chunk and I haven't had a single response from the dude. Something's wrong."
"Maybe his phone is off" said Jordan. Then Luna gets a response. "It's Chunk!"
She puts him on speaker. "Chunk dude, where the heck are you?"
"Lunes, we have a problem. Me van just blew her engine out, looks like something or someone went in and smashed their way into her, and I just got a new spark plug!" replied Chunk.
They all gasped from this.
"What the heck?! Who would do this?" said Jordan.
"Obviously the same people who tried to smash our gear yesterday" replied Luna.
"Luckily for you lot, I didn't keep all the gear in the van. Their all in my basement nice and safe, took some precautions as you said guv" replied Chunk.
"Good work on that one, and I think I have a plan that could work for all of us. Be right back!" Lincoln races off back into the house.
He comes back a few minutes later with Lana. "Alright I'm here! Let's do this!" Lana's ankle is all healed up.
"Chunk listen, we're gonna drive to your place and drop off Lana so she can fix your van. We're then gonna pack all the gear into Luna's car and also pick up the rest of the band and then head to Bangers n' Mosh" said Lincoln.
"Now that's what I call a Smashin' plan. Good on man" replied Chunk.
"We're also gonna let Lulu accompany Lana as well, for safety precautions" replied Lincoln.
"Alright then mate, see you all here." Chunk then hangs up.
"Whoa. Good thinking bro!" said Luna.
"My handsome man-with-the-plan at his work once more!" said Jordan.
Lincoln then picks up his axe. "It's all for this performance, Luna and her bands performance!" Luna felt touched that he would try and help her and this big gig.
Then Lincoln sees Lulu come out of the garage. "Anything on who the suspects are from yesterday?"
"I wasn't able to find any source of DNA that was left behind, whoever did this was smart enough to make sure they were not caught and made sure they didn't leave any trace of their presence within. But I do know one wears grey shoes with brown laces and the other in black heels, it also appears that the black heels have stepped onto some spilled motor oil" replied Lulu.
This makes Luna suspicious, she recalls only two people she met who wear those. But she wasn't sure. "Whoever they are, we're bound to meet them again."
"True, I don't think this battle for the gig is over. We have to remain vigilant" said Lincoln. They all greed.
"I just hope those Raccoons are okay. How dare they set them up to get blamed!" said Lana.
"Alright then dudes, let's get going!" said Luna. They all hop into her Ferrari and drive off.
Unknown to them that the gray van is watching this. "Dang it! How did we not think this one through?!" complained Doug.
"Which one? The kid who can fix cars? Or that white-haired brat who thinks ahead of us and makes our plans into failures?" said Michelle. She wasn't pleased by this.
"We're gonna have to come up with something else if we want Luna to fail!" said Doug.
Then Michelle gets an idea. "How about, we go and have an early visit to Bangers n' Mosh?"
Doug smirks. "I like the way you think! But we're gonna need some disguises, someone might recognize us and rat us out!"
"I know just the place for that" replied Michelle. They then drive off.
(With Luna.)
They finished picking up Sam, who has some backup speakers just in case, Sully who has some tools for emergency repairs and Mazzy who has some extra axes for when it is necessary.
The Ferrari makes it to Chunks home. Which likes closely similar to an apartment building in London.
Luna parks her car and they see Chunk with all of their fixed up gear. Including Jordan's keytar all fixed up. "Glad you all made it, now let's pack this stuff and get you all going" said Chunk.
"Thanks for holding onto these Chunk" said Luna.
"The pleasure is all mine, also I spoke to me landlord and he said that the cameras spotted some hooded figures who went to me van and ripped out some parts, Officer Schoffner was here earlier and is now running an investigation" replied Chunk.
"Nice, I guess your landlord is keeping everyone safe" said Sully.
Chunk then gives Jordan her keytar. "Here you go luv, all fixed up. It was not easy though."
Jordan hugs her instrument. "Thank you so much Chunk, I'm gonna beat the heck out of those jerks who tried to break this!"
Lincoln smiled at this, for some reason seeing his girlfriend angry at those who wronged them makes him see her even more attractive. Like dodge ball!
Lana then goes to Chunk's van and she sees the damage. "Hmmm, this doesn't look too hard for me, but I'm gonna need some parts."
Chunk then brings out a large box. "Whatever you need is all in here, I'd like to fix her meself but my hands ain't good for small areas."
"This'll do, plus she reminds me of Vanzilla" said Lana.
"Okay, so we have all the gear and backup gear. Now we're gonna head onto Bangers n' Mosh and setup early, we cannot let whoever these people are ruin what Luna and her band have been waiting for!" said Lincoln.
"And I'll make sure Lana here gets to the place once she's done" said Chunk.
"We also have to keep an eye out for anyone suspicious, chances are they are not done yet" said Jordan.
"And I will ensure Lana is also safe. That I promise on Lincoln" said Lulu.
"Now that's what I call planning!" said Mazzy.
Luna chuckles at this, she then hugs Lincoln in which he hugs her back. "Thanks bro."
"No prob sis" replied Lincoln. They then break the hug and head back into Luna's Ferrari and drive off.
"You got one heck of a brother there kid, smart, caring, loyal and confident. Even after everything he's been through" said Chunk.
Lana then grabs her lucky wrench. "Lincoln's got some tough think skin, and no matter what happens he'll find a way to get through the odds!"
"He is truly the smartest amongst the Louds. Do not tell Lisa is said that" said Lulu.
(Bangers n' Mosh."
The purple chrome Ferrari parks itself on a reserved spot at the establishment.
They all come out and look at the place. "You know, the last time we were all here was the music contest from months ago" said Jordan.
"This is it guys, Mick Swagger is gonna be there and he's gonna be so stoked to hear us perform!" said Sam.
"The next step to our big gig!" said Mazzy.
"And this is where it all goes down!" said Sully.
"Then let's make it all count my dudes" said Luna.
They don't see the van's from their families, which means they haven't arrived yet. But Luna does see Lincoln on his phone. "Whatcha doin' bro?"
He then puts his phone away. "Just called in some backup, just in case."
Luna smiles and hugs her little brother. "Thanks for planning everything bro, I don't know what would've happened if you weren't around my wayward son!"
Lincoln hugs her back. "It's the least I could do, for the big sis who helped me find my talent."
The others thought this was so sweet. They soon break the hug.
Luna then looks to everyone. "Alright dudes, let's set things up."
"Yeah!" they all head to the back with their gear.
(An hour later.)
Their amps are setup, their axes tuned in and restringed, drums cleaned and pretty much all they need is ready to rock n' roll!
"This is nice guys, liking how fast we made this all happen" said Luna.
Sam checks her watch. "We still got some time to kill before the curtains unveil. What's say we take a break and relax before the stage lights go on."
"Now that sounds like a plan" said Sully.
"They got some shepherd's pie ready for us when we feel like it" replied Mazzy. "Sully and I will grab some for us to eat here."
"Good idea, we can't all leave the stage at once. Best some of us stay here and watch things over" said Jordan.
Luna then feels something coming up. "I'll be back in a sec dudes, gotta use the can."
"Okay sis, keep an eye out for anyone suspicious" said Lincoln.
"Got it dudes" Luna then heads off to use the restroom.
(A few minutes later.)
Luna comes out of the restroom feeling calm and relaxed. "Now to get back to the others, can't wait for that sweet shepherd's pie!"
But then she bumps into someone. "Sorry dude, didn't see ya there."
"No, no. I was too distracted" said this mystery woman. She was wearing a brown hoodie and a rap baseball cap, but something gave off her appearance that seemed sorta familiar to Luna. Golden hoop earrings and a pink scarf.
"Oh, okay then. You here for the big performance my band and I are gonna do?" asked Luna.
"Umm, yeah. I guess I got lost, I'm gonna go and look for my seat now" then her phone goes off. "Oh, that must be my …. Boyfriend! Yeah, I'm gonna go now!" she then runs off.
Luna watches the woman walk away, but she does see something truly off about her. She's wearing black heels and bits of motor oil is on it.
Luna didn't like this, and he voice almost sounded familiar. She then heads off to the others.
She sees them all eating a slice of pie. She then looks to Lincoln. "Bro, can I have a word with you? In private?"
The others are confused by this and so is Lincoln. "Umm, okay then."
Meanwhile Michelle meets up with Doug. "Okay, so i was able to mix up all the cables so that their music will sound bad, what about your end?" asked Doug.
"That stage won't last long, it's gonna fall apart once the music plays!" said Michelle.
"Good! This'll teach her for ruining our career!" said Doug.
Michelle then recalls something. "I ran into that rock n' roll junkie on the way here!"
Doug panicked hearing that. "Did she recognize you?!"
"I don't think so, she seemed too focused on her gig tonight. But she won't be able to do it once it all comes crashing down!" said Michelle.
"Perfect! Revenge will be ours!" said Doug.
"And thank god! Breaking their gear didn't work, even with raccoons to frame" said Michelle.
"Sabotaging that brit dork roadie's van was a bust!" said Doug. "But this, this will work! It has to work!"
They then snicker and find someplace to watch it all go down.
But what they don't know is that two figures were hearing this and using their phones to record everything. "Got it bro?"
"All of it!"
(Later.)
The entire place was packed with people, the Louds, Rosato's their other friends and families are there to watch all of this. And amongst the crowd with some body guards is none other than Mick Swagger himself.
Some of the people wanted his autograph, but they are unable to from his large security.
Luna peeks through the curtain, she smiles seeing her idol there in the crowd. She then looks to her band. "This is it guys! The reason why we're all here!"
"I'm so stoked!" said Sam.
"All of our hard work in jamming and it's all gonna pay off!" said Sully.
"We gotta keep our cool dudes, otherwise we'll be playing the wrong tunes" said Mazzy.
Lincoln then hugs Luna. "Good luck out there sis. I know you can do this, you and your band."
Jordan also hugs her and Lincoln as well. "We have full faith in you, and we'll be watching from the backstage."
Luna hugs them both and kisses their forehead. "Thanks dudes, we've come a long way from where we are now and I wouldn't have done it all if it wasn't for the two kids who helped me push the boundaries of my talent and love."
"Aww" said the band. Sam wipes away a tear.
They soon break the hug when they hear the manager make an announcement. "Alright, this is it!" said Luna.
Lincoln and Jordan get out of the way and watch from the sidelines. "This has to work" said Lincoln.
"It will Lincoln, it will" Jordan assures him.
"And now, ladies and gentleman! Luna Loud and the Luna-tics!"
Everyone cheers and claps, Mick Swagger lowers his shades to see how this will go down.
Doug and Michelle are seated far back and smiling deviously. "And now for their curtain fall!"
The lights are out, and they hear some trumpet sounds and then a spotlight on each band mate as the trumpet sounds.
Luna: Count me in unannounced, drag my nails on the tile.
I just follow your scent, you can't just follow my smile.
All of your flaws are aligned, with this mood of mine.
Cutting me to the bone, nothing left to leave behind.
You ought to keep me concealed, just like I was a weapon.
I didn't come for a fight, but I will fight till the end.
This might be your battle, might not turn out okay.
You know you look like Seattle, but you feel so LA.
Luna and Sam: Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh.
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh.
Luna: And i love, the way you hurt me!
All: It's irresistible, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Yeah!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Yeah!
I love the way!
I love the way!
I love the way you hurt me, baby!
I love the way!
I love the way!
I love the way you hurt me, baby!
Sam: I'm gonna get you to burst, just like you were a bubble!
Luna: Frame me up on your wall, just to keep me outta trouble!
Sam: Like a moth getting trapped, by the light of fixation.
Luna and Sam: Truly free, love it baby, I'm talkin' no fixation!
Too many war wounds, and not enough wars!
Too few rounds in the ring and not enough settled scores!
Sam: Too many sharks, not enough blood in the waves.
Luna: You know I give me love, a f-f-four letter name.
Luna and Sam: Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh.
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh.
Luna: And I love the way you hurt me!
All: It's irresistible, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Yeah!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Yeah!
I love the way!
I love the way!
I love the way you hurt me, baby!
I love the way!
I love the way!
I love the way you hurt me, baby!
Sam: You're second hand smoke, second hand smoke.
I breathe you in, but honey I don't know what you're doing to me.
Luna and Sam: Mon cheri, but the truth catches up with us eventually.
Luna: Try and say live, live and let live.
But I'm no good, good at lip service.
Except when they're yours, mi amor.
I'm coming for you, and I'm making war!
Sam: And I still love, the way I hurt you.
All: It's irresistible, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Yeah!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Yeah!
I love the way!
I love the way!
I love the way you hurt me, baby!
I love the way!
I love the way!
I love the way you hurt me, baby!
Everyone cheers and claps at the performance.
Mick Swagger smirks. "Well I'll be going down a boat in the river, they got some chops for doing that one!"
Michelle and Doug are both shocked by this. "What the heck?!" said Doug.
"What happened?! Why didn't it all go down?!" yelled Michelle.
No one can hear those two rant because of everyone cheering. Mick Swagger gets up with his crew and they had backstage. Michelle and Doug see this and also follow.
Luna and her band take a bow and head backstage as well.
Luna is surprised by Lincoln hugging her. "That was awesome! You and your band were awesome sis!"
Luna smiles and hugs him back. "Thanks baby bro."
"Good job there Lunes!" said Luan. They all see the rest of their family and friends.
"That's my girl!" said Lynn Sr and Rita.
"You were rockin' out there sis!" said Simon. Even Sam's parents agreed and were proud of her.
"That was truly Smashin!" said Chunk.
"You guys rocked, rolled and showed everyone just how great you are!" said Tabby.
"Thanks Everyone" Luna and her band replied.
Lincoln and Jordan gasp when they see someone. Luna an everyone else also see this and are shocked.
"Hey there Luna, you and your band were killing it. But in a good way" said Mick Swagger.
"Thanks Mick Swagger, we came up with the songs days ago and we thought they could be good for tonight and sure as heck they were" replied Luna.
"And I must say, the vibe you got with Sam shows how much love you two got and I'm okay with it. Same with the musical feeling from your other band mates, that's what I call some musical spirit!" said Mick Swagger.
"So, did you like their song?" asked Lincoln.
"Like it, no mate I didn't like it ….. I loved it! Know I don't think I can be able to perform that song on my stage, but perhaps you'd like to come along and show the world what you guys can do" said Mick Swagger.
Their jaws dropped hearing that. "What?!"
"You heard me right, I wanted to see if the Luna Loud. The one from the family fair, was capable of making a musical performance look as impressive as mine, or perhaps even better. And I guess I was right" said Mick Swagger. "So, what do you say?"
Luna looks to her band, they were all smiles and excited. Then she looks to her family and friends, they were all proud and happy that she was given this opportunity. Luna couldn't believe it. Her dream, her crazy rock n' roll dream was coming true and so early too!
But then, she looks to the one person she promised to keep safe, Lincoln.
Lincoln smiles. "Go on sis, this the dream you've been waiting for."
Luna smiles at first, but then she was thinking of the wrong things that could happen. She then looks to Mick Swagger. "Sir, as fun as it sounds. I'm gonna need to think about it."
They all gasp, except for Mick Swagger who smiles and understands.
"L-Luna, what are you doing?" asked Lincoln with concern.
Luna rubs his hair. "I got this bro, don't worry."
Luna looks to everyone. "Guys, this is a dream come true. Something Luna Loud from the past with that rock n' roll spunk wanted since. But, even though I'm sixteen and I know you all wanna support me to go on with it. I still have a lot on my plate and a lot of other things on my mind. I can't just let other things get left behind of me on a tour that could last for who knows how long."
They all smiled and understood. She then looks to Mick Swagger. "Sir, I think we should have a conversation about this some other time."
"No problem luv, we can have this talk again tomorrow, your place for chance?" said Mick Swagger.
This made Lynn Sr faint.
"Sure thing Mick Swagger" replied Luna. She then hears the audience still cheering.
"If I can recall, you still have another song. Ready to let it loose?" asked Mick.
"You know it, but first!" Luna uses her foot to cause the rope on the ground to rapidly fly off and then it grabs onto two people who were hiding behind a pile of stage props.
The two people scream and are thrown by the rope and onto a pile of sand bags. "Ow!"
They all gather around Doug and Michelle.
"Well, well. Look at what we got here guvs!" said Luna with her arms crossed.
"A couple of no good vandals" said Lincoln.
They were shocked at what Lincoln and Luna said. The two former hosts look to them in anger.
"You! Why didn't the stage fall?! Why didn't your songs get messed up?!" yelled Michelle.
"Easy Michelle" said Doug. "But why didn't our plan work?!"
"Because they were one step ahead and figured it all out" replied Officer Schoffner. She arrived with two of her officers and two peacekeepers.
Doug and Michelle became nervous. "Umm, we want a lawyer?" said Doug.
"Doug, our lawyer quit. Remember?" said Michelle.
"Dang it!" yelled Doug.
They then pick up the two and hand cuff them. "We have al the evidence that ties you two vandals to everything. Lincoln recorded it all when you two were busy talking" replied Officer Schoffner.
"What?!" they looked to Lincoln. He then played his cellphone and they all heard about what Doug and Michelle were planning.
"How dare you?!" yelled Rita.
"Why you lousy little!" Lana had to hold back Lola.
"Not cool dudes!" said Sully.
"Also, if you two are wondering, the cables you scrambled up were rewired. I know a thing or two on how to fix em in less than two minutes" said Luna.
"And the one holding the stage together was Lisa's little car, Lulu" replied Lincoln.
"Enhancing her ability to carry anything fifteen times heavier than herself was enough" replied Lisa.
"No! This plan was perfect! Perfect!" yelled Doug.
"So perfect that is failed, and a lot of folks in the music bizz will wanna hear about this and I'll make sure it goes out to the rest of the world again" said Mick Swagger.
"No! This can't end like this!" Michelle breaks free and tries to go after Lincoln. But Jordan jumps onto Michelle and starts beating the heck out of her. "Nobody breaks my keytar and attacks my boyfriend and my future sister-in-law!"
They all watch in horror as this grown up woman is getting beaten to oblivion by a twelve year old girl.
Rick Rosato uses his camera to record his daughter's ability to go feral. So do her friends and Luan, she snickers at this. If Luan can't enjoy over the top pranking, then this will make her happy instead.
Officer Schoffner and the police officers record this, while Doug is horrified and hides behind the peacekeeprs.
Lynn Sr and Rita cover Lily's eyes.
Lola wants to join in, but she decides not to. Jordan looks savage right now.
Lucy just smiles, "Wicked."
Lynn Jr is impressed. "Now that's what I call no holds barred."
"Literally terrifying" said Lori. Leni covers her eyes. "Is it over?"
The band has their jaws dropped and are a bit scared of what this kid can do.
Lisa straightens her glasses and records this. "I do believe that this is all of the anger she has been holding against Carol Pingrey, so if she cannot get violently get even with Carol, then she'll unleash all of her rage on the one person who thought they could get away with a crime, or in this case this woman who is far beyond Jordan's age."
"Dang right" said all of Lincoln and Jordan's friend.
"This reminds me of when she went berserk during dodge ball last time" said Liam.
"Now that is savage" said Mick Swagger. "And I thought fans were dangerous."
Lincoln isn't shocked at all, a bit surprised but for some reason impressed.
"You got yourself one heck of a keeper there bro" said Luna.
"Yeah, I guess I do" said Lincoln.
Soon Jordan stops and gets off of Michelle, she does deliver one last kick to the back. "You vandalizing freak!"
Jordan then straightens her blue bow and then looks to Lincoln. "What?" Lincoln goes to her and they kiss.
The peacekeepers then pick up the badly beaten up Michelle.
Her hair is messed up with a few bald spots, she has two black eyes, her dress is almost torn up, her scarf is now wrapped around her neck, her breathing is hard, her arms are worn out and I don't think she can stand. She has lot of bruises and some cuts. Jordan a lot of damage to this woman! Dang!
They then escort Doug into the squad car, they call an ambulance for Michelle.
"We'll pretend we never saw this" said Officer Schoffner. She then takes her leave.
Jordan and Lincoln break the hug. She looks to all of them. "What? I'm that loyal."
"Now that's how my little girl delivers a beat down" said Rick.
"Remind me not to get you all riled up" said Mollie.
"I guess watching some WWE with Lincoln helps" said Simon.
They then look to the sound of the people cheering from outside. "Well, we should get to our second song now" said Mazzy.
Luna then gets an idea. "Lincoln, Jordan. How would you two like to be part of the next song?"
They were both shocked and smile. "Really?!"
Luna nods and so does the rest of the band. "You two have heard our rehearsal yesterday, so you two know the lyrics" said Sam.
Lincoln and Jordan hug Luna, they then break the hug and grab their axe and keytar and follow them on stage.
The audience cheers for Luna and her band to come back on stage, but they cheer even louder when they spot the eagle contest champions with them.
"You two ready?" asked Luna and Sam.
"Heck yeah!" replied Lincoln and Jordan.
Mick Swagger smirks. "This should be fun to listen to."
Mazzy gives a beat on her drums.
Luna: Give me a second I.
I need to get my story straight.
My friends are in the bathroom, getting higher than the empire state.
My lover, she's a waiting for me just across the bar.
My seats been taken by some sunglasses, asking about a scar, and.
I know I gave it to you months ago.
I know you're trying to forget.
But between the drinks and subtle things.
The holes in my apologies, you know.
I'm trying hard to take it back.
So when by the time, the bar closes.
And you feel like falling down, I'll carry you home.
All: Tonight! We are young.
So let's set the world on fire!
We can burn brighter, than the sun!
Tonight! We are young.
So let's set the world on fire!
We can burn brighter, than the sun!
Luna and Lincoln: Now I know that I'm not.
All that you got. I guess that I, I just thought.
Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart.
But our friends are back.
So let's raise a tab!
'Cause I found someone to carry me home.
All: Tonight! We are young.
So let's set the world on fire!
We can burn brighter, than the sun!
Tonight! We are young.
So let's set the world on fire!
We can burn brighter, than the sun!
Sam and Jordan: Carry me home tonight!
All: (Na na na na na na.)
Sam and Jordan: Just carry me home tonight!
All: (Na na na na na na.)
Sam and Jordan: Carry me home tonight!
All: (Na na na na na na.)
Sam and Jordan: Just carry me home tonight!
All: (Na na na na na na.)
All: The world is on our side!
I have no reason to run.
So will someone come and carry me home tonight.
The angels never arrived.
But I can hear the choir.
So will someone come and carry me home.
Luna and Lincoln: Tonight, we are young.
So let's set the world on fire!
We can burn brighter, than the sun!
Tonight, we are young.
So let's set the world on fire!
We can burn brighter, than the sun!
Luna: So if by the time the bar closes.
And you feel like falling down.
I'll carry, you home tonight.
Everyone cheers and claps at the amazing second performance that they made. They got one heck of a standing ovation.
They all take a bow. This was one gig none of them will ever forget.
"Now that's what I call a sibling bonded musical performance!" said Mick Swagger.
They all cheer for Luna, Sam, Lincoln, Jordan, Sully and Mazzy. This was their finest moment, as one big band!
Lincoln and Luna could see one heck of a future, performing with their loved ones and their crew and next to each other.
But one thing they now have to deal with is tomorrow, and that is the talk with Mick Swagger and the whole tour plan.
A/N: I would like to thank Vasmasdas1 for the idea of the returning Doug and Michelle and how they tried to sabotage them, everything else was me improvising to make it more interesting. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
Date made: 4/7/20.
