Family of Two.
Chapter 277: Something else to handle.
(The Loud House.)
At the backyard, at the tree house is where Lincoln is, and the kid is chilling with the stuff he got within the tree house and is happy at the hand-me-down instruments, they seem fixed and in working condition.
An old bass from Sam, an old drum kit from Mazzy, an old keyboard from Sully and from Chunk, some speakers he used long ago that he repaired, and of course the hand-me-down guitar from his mom, Luna and it's all fixed and good as new.
"This is awesome." He strums onto the guitar and this makes a nice rhythm, he then makes a simple beat which sounds like something from the Marvel films, he does recall he watched one a while back, and it was Spider-Man and so he makes that tune.
"Dang, that beat does sound cool." Lincoln then looks to the instruments around him and this gives him an idea. 'There is a music club in Middle School. Perhaps I could join it, and those who might be part of it, we could start a band. Mom started her band when she started High School.'
'She met Sam in Middle School, and was part of the Music Club back then too, and then she advanced into High School and found some pals who would play the part for her band we see today, perhaps I could start up early and make her proud. This is gonna be awesome!'
Lincoln then looks to some lyric sheets and he thinks of a song to make, but then he recalls something else. 'If my memory serves, the hero counterparts we have also make some songs. Maybe they have some songs I could borrow and see how they sound when I sing it, but I need to ask mom if I can contact them.'
Lincoln then thinks of a beat for a song, and then he has a new idea. 'If they can let me borrow a song they made, then I could perform it with mom on stage, and everything wouldn't have to be me watching her perform and it could be an awesome mother and son thing.'
Looks like Lincoln has a plan, and it involves a song from the other world, but which one though?
But as he continues to strum onto his guitar and make something out of it on his notebook, he then recalls what they have to do tomorrow. 'Right, tomorrow we're gonna go and check on Rita and Lynnard. I hope they're not upset that they won't see me graduate on June 10.'
'Also, should we invite the others into this? Like Lucy, Lola and Lana? I know Lisa is gonna deny it, as usual. She has to try and keep herself calmed down, I know that things aren't the same as they are now, but she has to try and adapt.'
Lincoln then sees his phone go off and he checks the message, which is from Sam Sharp.
(Inside the House.)
Luna makes a call to some friends at the Allied outpost, and then she puts the phone back onto the wall and she sees Delilah coming down from the stairs. "Hey, Lunes. Gonna head to karate class, see you later." She races out of the house and towards her bike.
Then Michelle arrives. "Delilah already left?"
Luna nods. "She did, and I also made the call to our other world allies from outside of town earlier."
Michelle is confused by that. "What? Why?"
Luna then sits onto the couch and Michelle places the basket of dry laundry onto the table and they both fold the clothes. "Well, the dealio is… I know the trouble might not be gone, for too long. I don't want anything bad to go wrong when it's Lincoln's graduation and all that stuff."
"He's gonna be in the middle of making a speech or something, and if something bad does happen, then we gotta be prepared to fight back. So, I contacted the guys from the allied outpost outside of town, and they said that they're gonna call their superiors and see what they can do, I hope they do send some guys over for some backup."
Michelle nods. "I get it, Lunes and I would've done the same as you did and surely they will send someone to…." Then there's a knock on the door. "Who the heck is that?"
Michelle goes over and opens the door, and when she does open it, she sees someone they did not see coming. "Hey there, Ms. Loud and Ms. Lewis Loud." The man, or being is Jack Cyber, again.
"Heard you guys needed some backup for the day your kid graduates on June 10, right?"
Luna nods. "Come in dude." they lead him to the couch, Jack Cyber sees the clothes in the basket and he turns his right arm into a vacuum. "Dude, what the heck?"
His other hand turns into a tube and the clothes come out folded. "There, no clutter. Now we can talk." He sits on the arm chair, and what he did shocks the two women.
"Alright, so this whole trouble may seem gone, and I know you guys have a plan of some sorts involving Katie Crest and that tour, and the graduation thing is the first thing on your mind to deal with and so I will grant access for a security force to come and defend the whole thing" said Jack Cyber.
Luna is surprised and she smiles. "Awesome! What kind of backup and guards are we talking about?"
Jack Cyber then goes through a large list in his head. "Stealth tactics and long range detection systems, in the form of Ghosts, Specters, Banshees, Wraith's, Predator drones, Raven's, Science Vessels, Overseers, Lurkers and Observers."
"They can help stay in the shadows and watch over things that could go wrong, and also keep track of anything coming from a great distance, I could contact the Brotherhood of NoD and see if they have any forces that could help. Those guys are all about stealth and underground tactics."
Hearing this was music to Luna's ears. "Wow. Thanks dude, this is really gonna help." Then comes to her mind. "I gotta ask…"
But Michelle asks since she knows. "I know what Luna's gonna ask and I also wanna know. Katie Crest, you have one in your world, right?"
Jack Cyber wasn't sure if they would ask that. "Yeah, we do have our own Katie Crest."
"Whoa. Well, is she causing trouble?" asked Luna.
"She did…. She made a fake notification that Luna Frost Spellman and her band was gonna be part of her Rock summer tour, and then she was called out for being a faker and we handled the folks who preordered the tickets and got the big disappointing truth and are now hating Crest for the lies" said Jack Cyber. "Plus, we sent out evidence that she was responsible for the death of the last band who worked with her."
Somewhere, Michelle is smiling in her head. "Where is she now?"
"Dead" replied Jack Cyber.
The sound of a truck crash is inside the heads of Luna and Michelle. Then Harriet appears and startles them. "What? How did she die?"
Jack Cyber thinks it's bad to tell them, and so he tells them. "She went to confront Luna and Sam, and Lincoln. The evidence was shown, and then she was attacked by three flying creatures not from our world and she as torn apart in mid-air. She's long gone."
"Also, because of her death and that no one else knows about it. We are now dubbing her M.I.A in our world, and possibly off the grid and on the run, and so folks are now searching for her, and we're gonna make a plan to stage her death as an accident running from the law, soon."
Deep down, Michelle Lewis is ecstatic from this news, and a part of her wishes this did happen to their own Katie Crest. "Wow. That is just… Wow."
Luna sighs. "You guys got it better. That must've been something. Also, thanks for the backup you guys are letting come with us on the tour next week."
Jack Cyber nods. "All in due time. The tour bus you requested has been built and will be there for you guys on Sunday, and same goes with our forces who will arrive to escort you all along the way. How long is this whole tour thing gonna last?"
Luna then recalls. "I…. forgot." She looks towards Michelle and so she answers for her.
"The tour was stated and agreed to last till the end of July, but if something bad happens and we're not feeling right with the whole thing, then we take our leave and they can handle things on their own at the tour, and if other folks wanna know what's going on, then we'll post the video on why we left."
"Katie Crest thinks she can take us down and make us into her own? Well, she has another thing coming, and I'm still going into the whole personal investigation to see that Katie Crest is the woman who made the whole thing with the attacks. Because it's no coincidence for her to call us after the trouble was over."
"The rest of the band is also in on this, and we didn't tell Lincoln about the whole ordeal too" said Luna. "But when the time does come and we find the truth, then he has to know and the rest of the world."
Harriet then speaks. "We shall not let that vile woman get away with something that might be the truth, and I will enjoy claiming her soul and torturing her."
Jack Cyber also thinks about this. "This is some unexpected development. I will talk to my allies and see if we can lend some aid as well. This theory and conspiracy is something to be looked into."
Luna nods. "Thanks dude." Just then they see Lincoln walk into the room and he spots the group.
"Oh hey, what the heck is going on?" Then he sees Jack cyber. "Oh, you're here. Good. Can I talk to you alone?"
Jack Cyber is confused and he looks to Luna. Luna nods and so the cybernetic man follows Lincoln at the backyard, and Lincoln asks him something that they can't be able to hear, because Jack Cyber set up a private bubble that channels out the sounds from outside, Lincoln asked for that one.
Luna and Michelle notices this and even Harriet. "So, does anyone here read lips?" asked Michelle.
"My husband did long ago, wish he was here to understand what's going on" replied Harriet.
Luna is confused. 'Why the heck does my boy wanna ask that dude about something? Wait, what is that?'
They see Jack Cyber showing Lincoln a list, and the list had names and Lincoln clicks one and he listens and it sounds like he's liking the beat. "Umm, is he listening to music?" asked Michelle Lewis.
Harriet then thinks of why this is happening. "I'm not sure what the heck is going on, but a part of me can only guess that your son has a plan for the tour and it involves some of those songs."
Luna smiles, she can also see that Harriet is not wrong. But, it would be best not to ruin what Lincoln has planned, and let him roll with it.
A/N: Looks like the other world is now on their side and ready to lend their aid to stop Katie Crest and whatever she has planned and hidden, and it seems like Lincoln is stoked with a plan for the tour, this should be interesting. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
