Hey guys! It's 65rogeryork here. It's been about three years since I first released the origin story for Super Louds. And since then, this series has really taken off and it's all thanks to you guys.
So, I figured while I'm still working on Season 3, I shouldn't leave you all hanging too long without any super action.
With that being said, may I present to you, Super Louds 2: Breaking Barriers! This is a collab project between myself and allanarcher777, the creator of the Sound Barrier.
That's right! In this story, Super Thunder and the Sound Barrier will be teaming up to take down some familiar enemies. Just who these enemies are, you'll just have to wait and see!
Well, I've held you all here long enough. Let's get into this story! Reviews and constructive criticism welcome.

Chapter 1: Whoops! Wrong Universe...
It was late at night, close to midnight, over at Digi-Tech. Dave Wiser and his lead assistant Mona were still hard at work in their prototype lab, testing their new invention.
*machine is generating energy but then suddenly stops*
"Aww! What happened?" asked Mona, checking the dashboard in front of her.
"*inspects the wiring* Ah! Here's the problem! The dimensional gateway generated too much power for the circuits to handle. It fried them." said Dave.
"Dang. Now we'll have to get some new wires." said Mona, strolling up to him, feeling disappointed.
"Hey, don't sweat it Mona. We'll figure it out. Why don't we head down to the cafe and take a little break?" asked Dave.
"*sighs* Yeah. I guess a break would be good right about now. We've been at this for a few hours." said Mona.
Dave and Mona then took off their safety goggles and hung them up on a hook as they left the lab. As soon as they left however, a familiar bright colored substance was seen dropping down from a ceiling light.
*substance takes shape from the ground and forms into Jack*
"*laughs* Don't worry Dave. I'll fix it for you. With this machine, I could make millions!" said Jack.
He started inspecting the machine to see how it supposedly worked. It was a large machine that had a huge circular structure in the middle that would presumably generate a portal there.
"Maybe I should test this thing out." said Jack, as he went into the control room to figure out how to turn it on.
*Jack randomly presses buttons until one of them activates the machine*
"Bingo." said Jack, as he rushed back outside to see the machine in action.
The dimensional gateway started generating power and started to form a portal in the middle, but once again, it seemed to be having some problems.
"*notices portal is dying out* No! No! No! There's gotta be a way to fix this! Hmm...Dave mentioned something about the wires..." said Jack, as he strolled over to look at the wiring.
He noticed that a few of the wires had been burnt from the last attempt to start up the machine. He reached out to touch one of them when he suddenly got a nasty shock.
"Yowwww! *falls backwards* Circuits 101 Jack. Never touch a live wire. *shakes his head* Why do I do this to myself?" said Jack.
Just then, Jack noticed that electricity was traveling through his body. Since he was essentially made of plasma now, his body was now a natural conductor.
"Hey! *starts shaking his arms* Stop it!" exclaimed Jack, as he accidentally fired a blast of electrically charged plasma at the machine's circuits.
This plasma seemed to give the machine a huge boost in energy and it quickly generated enough power to open the portal.
"Yes! Success!" exclaimed Jack.
Well, maybe too much power...
*dimensional gateway starts pulling Jack towards the portal*
"Hey...wait! I thought this was a dimension opener, not a...VACUUM!" exclaimed Jack, as he was sucked into the portal.
As soon as he was, the machine suddenly short circuited again, as sparks flew everywhere. The portal quickly closed and Jack was now seemingly lost between dimensions.
Meanwhile, in another dimension...
To say that the citizens of Royal Woods were having a bad morning was an understatement. Left and right, citizens were screaming and running out of the Royal Woods Natural History museum in a panic. Amidst the terrorized crowds was a mother cradling an infant in their arms. She panted as she ran through the crowd, doing her best to remain calm despite the child's crying. Suddenly, an explosion was heard and a flash of orange occurred in her peripheral vision. Turning to the side, she saw a large T-rex skeleton losing its balance. The woman screamed in fright and turned away, hugging the baby close to her chest.
A few seconds passed and she felt no pain or thundering crash from the mass of bones. Looking back at the skeleton that was about to crush her, she saw it was held back by a series of dark tendrils. Beside the fossil was a pale girl in a black cloak, struggling to hold the mass up with her powers. "Go! Get somewhere safe!" She instructed in a tone of voice that was calm and near emotionless, but still carried a sense of authority.
"Thank you, Dark Duchess." The woman thanked before running off. Dark Duchess released her grip and the tendrils disappeared, leaving the skeleton to collapse to the ground. "Sigh, of course those Vulcan thugs brought grenades." She complained.
"Duchess, look out!" Dark Duchess turned around as she heard her brother's voice. Being face to face with a large brute clad in black and dark green clothing. He didn't have much time to hurt Dark Duchess as a blur of orange tackled him and shoved him into the floor. "You okay?" He asked worriedly while wrestling the criminal to the ground.
"I'm fine, Silver Wind." She reassured. "I think that was the last of the civilians." The heroic goth informed.
"That's nice, Duchess. Now could you help us take care of these creeps?" Trackstar yelled out as she started to zip around the museum and punching Vulcan thugs left and right. She was suddenly halted by the sensation of a grappling hook wire being wrapped around her legs. "Gah! Oh come on!" The red clad hero groaned as she felt herself dragged across the floor with her face down on the ground. When she looked back up, Trackstar was face to face with a woman with a black one piece suit and mask. Despite the suit being a single piece, there was a brown utility belt around her waist with various pockets and weapons. Her hair was mostly of a similar color, but it had a red highlight in it. Trackstar growled at the sight of her.
"Aww, what's wrong Trackstar? Did I interfere with your little run?" The woman teased with a sinister grin. Trackstar was not amused as she quickly freed herself from the hook's cable and got up and tried to punch her attacker square in the face. She missed and soon found her face inches away from a knife with a curved blade that tried to slash horizontally at her nose.
"What's wrong is that you and your dumb crime ring are here causing trouble. Not that I don't mind the excitement." Trackstar spat. "Why are you even here, Ratatoskr?" She asked angrily as a large green fist flew in from the side and tried to punch Ratatoskr. The crime lord nimbly back flipped out of the way and looked in the direction of the attack's origin. Finding Chameleon as the source, her arm returning to its normal size and place on her body.
"Yes, I am curious as well. Especially since you ruined my families outing when it was my turn to decide the activity. So what prompted you to come out of secrecy and make such a move?" The tiny genius inquired as she walked over towards Trackstar. Ratatoskr rolled her eyes and scoffed.
"That's highly classified information, Chameleon. And it's not my fault that you Sound Barrier brats chose to get in my way." She countered as she reached into her belt and pulled out a hand gun. She pointed it at the two super siblings and turned off the weapon's safety "Now, since you obviously aren't going to leave me alone. I think it would be best to get rid of you before you cause too much trouble." Ratatoskr pulled the trigger and the gun fired. Trackstar grabbed her sister and ran out of the way. As Ratatoskr tried to track them and continued shooting, her focus was lost as sand drifted into her eyes. Ratatoskr yelped and tried to wipe the dust away. Only to be kicked in the hip.
As her vision returned, she saw Rock N' Roll standing in front of her. "You must be crazy if you think you can get away with that." The heroic rocker then waved her arm forward and sent a lot of small pebbles flying into Ratatoskr. The tiny projectiles pelted her mercilessly and forced her to step back. Doppelganger, who was trying to fight five thugs at once with her clones, managed to see this.
"Wow, you really know how to rock her world!" She quipped with a chuckle.
"Doppelganger. Can you just save the jokes for after this is over?" Rock N' Roll groaned as she turned her attention to her sister. Her loss in concentration gave Ratatoskr a golden opportunity to pull out a throwing knife and toss it at her. The music loving hero yelped in pain as the blade pierced her body and tug itself in her arm. "AHH! DANG IT!" She roared as she made all the pebbles gather into a large boulder and flung it into Ratatoskr. The crime lord grunted as the stone cluster knocked her away and gave the hero some breathing room. Rock N' Roll evaded some stray fire from both bullets from Vulcan goons and her own siblings super powers firing shots across the room. Evetually she found some cover behind a display case. She breathed heavily and pulled the knife out of her arm, hissing in pain as she did.
"You okay?" Rock N' Roll looked up to see Empathy kneeling beside her. She sighed as she held out her arm and showed her sister the wound. Empathy hissed and reached into her pocket, pulling out a stream of blue fabric. "Good thing I carry these in case of fashion emergencies."
"Really wish we kept Nursery with us instead of letting the rents run off with her." Rock N' Roll sighed as Empathy began wrapping the stab wound with the stream of fabric. "At least you're here for a little support." A huge current of electricity soared past the two of them as Protona and Elexa fired away at some Vulcan soldiers trying to catch them by surprise.
"You can complain about that boo boo on your arm later, Rock!" Protona whined. "I want to take these creeps down and go back home!" Elexa couldn't help but shake her head at her twin's complaining as she fired another lightning bolt from her finger at a goon a few feet away.
"I don't see why you're complaining sis. We almost always win. Besides, things could be a lot worse." She reasoned in an attempt to get her to calm down. Then, out of nowhere, the museum shook with a loud boom that echoed through the building. It was so intense that everyone in the hectic brawl stopped what they were doing in confusion. The shaking continued, almost as if the world itself was being blasted apart. Then after a few more violent shakes, a blue rift formed above them all and gave off a strange light.
"Could be a lot worse, huh?" Protona quoted her twin in a condescending manner. Before Elexa could respond, Jack fell out from the hole and landed butt first onto the floor. He held his head with one hand and groaned while rubbing his rear with the other. Everyone in the museum simply gawked at Jack in confusion.
Once Jack regained his bearings, he looked around him and took note of the situation he had just landed in. He saw a museum in disarray and two different groups staring at him questionably. One of those groups seemed familiar to him.
Meanwhile, the Sound Barrier had huddled up together and were trying to figure out who this stranger was who had interrupted their fight.
"Yo, who is that guy dudes?" asked Rock N' Roll.
"I don't know. I've never seen him before." said Silver Wind.
"He must be a new villain." said Titanium.
"It is a possibility." said Chameleon.
"*stands to his feet* You guys are really something. I don't know how you managed to bring me to the museum, but that doesn't matter now. *enters a fighting stance* I've got some scores to settle." said Jack.
"Scores?" said Empathy confused.
"What is he talking about?" asked Trackstar.
Before any of them could inquire further however, Jack suddenly rushed forward and shot a plasma projectile at Silver Wind.
Silver Wind instinctively flew into the air, which threw Jack for a loop.
"Wha? Since when can you fly kid?" said Jack confused.
Jack didn't get to hear Silver Wind's reply, as he was nearly struck down by a large boulder. Luckily for him, his sensory awareness was permanently heightened thanks to a certain encounter with a lightning strike.
"Yo, I don't know who you think you are, but no one attacks my brother and gets away with it." said Rock N' Roll, surrounding herself with hundreds of pebbles.
"What the heck?! A boulder? What happened, did you guys swap powers or something?" asked Jack, still confused.
Rock N' Roll didn't respond, but instead started shooting torrents of pebbles at Jack. Jack quickly dodged out of the way, only to be blindsided with a right hook from Trackstar.
"*spits* Well at least that's still the same." said Jack.
However, he quickly came to the realization that things were not the same as it had appeared to him, when Trackstar started zipping back and forth, delivering punches to each side of his face.
"Whoa! You have super speed now?! What is with you guys today?" asked Jack, starting to get freaked out now.
Just then, however, Protona and Elexa cut in and started firing bolts of electricity at him.
Jack countered this however, by quickly covering his forearms with plasma to absorb their electric attacks.
"Haha! You should know by now that electricity isn't gonna hurt me anymore!" said Jack, as he started firing electrically charged plasma from his hands at the twins.
"Whoa! I wasn't expecting that!" shouted Elexa, as she and Protona quickly sprinted away to avoid the incoming projectiles.
Jack continued firing after them when his projectiles suddenly hit a different target, Titanium. She looked at Jack with an authoritative and protective stare. Jack subconsciously gulped as he took a few steps away from her.
Meanwhile, the rest of the Sound Barrier had huddled back together to discuss who the heck they were even fighting.
"It appears that this villain possesses the ability to wield plasma as a weapon. He may even have other powers that we are unaware of. It seems that he can use the plasma as a standard weapon or he can make it stronger by absorbing electricity with it. Hence, how he turned your electric attacks against you, Protona and Elexa." said Chameleon.
"Well, how do we beat him?" asked Elexa.
"Uh, a better question is, where did he even come from?!" asked Protona.
"Umm...that big hole that opened up above us right?" said Empathy unsure.
"Uh, right Empathy. You're right." said Chameleon, as Empathy smiled.
"Boy, talk about firing from the hole!" joked Doppelganger.
Across from the group, on the other side of the room, Ratatoskr had been watching how the fight she was in had quickly taken quite the loop.
"Should we be shooting at the Sound Barrier?" asked one of the Vulcan goons.
"No. Leave them be for now. I'm enjoying watching this mysterious character in action." said Ratatoskr.
Speaking of that mysterious character, he had been firing plasma blasts at Titanium for awhile now, but none of them seemed to be phasing her.
"What's the matter with you?! WHY? WON'T? YOU? DIE?!" exclaimed Jack, starting to lose it.
"*smirks* This guy is literally insane." said Titanium to herself.
She then delivered a forceful kick to Jack's chest, which sent him flying. His back hit a stone pillar hard and he slowly slumped to the ground.
"Whoa. You really knocked him out!" said Silver Wind, flying next to Titanium.
"*grunts as he holds his head* This isn't over Super Thunder. I'll be back." said Jack, as he suddenly turned into plasma and quickly left the museum.
Just as he left the spot he was at, Trackstar had ran up, ready to deliver a real knockout blow to him. However, she was a little too late.
"Get back here you scum! I'm gonna-! Wait. Was I hearing things or did he call us by a different name?" asked Trackstar.
"Yeah. I heard it too. He called us Super Thunder." said Dark Duchess.
"Who the heck is Super Thunder?" asked Protona.
"I think there's a more important question we can ask right now sis." said Elexa.
"Oh yeah? And what's that?" asked Protona.
"Where did Ratatoskr and her Vulcan goons go?" asked Elexa.
At the mention of their mutual enemy, the Sound Barrier all suddenly looked across the room to see that Ratatoskr and her group had indeed escaped.
"They must've ducked out while we were fighting that other guy." said Trackstar.
Titanium sighed.
"Great. Now, we're literally gonna have to be on the lookout for them for the rest of this week. Come on guys, it's been a long day. Let's go home." said Titanium.
The rest of the Sound Barrier obliged and followed behind Titanium out to the Sonic Vroom. They weren't sure what exactly happened today during their fight, but they all had a feeling that it wasn't the end of it.
Hello everyone! Allanarcher777 here. Surprised to see a collab story like this pop up? I would have greeted you all at the beginning with 65, but I kind of got lost trying to find the right pocket dimension.
Speaking of dimensions, it seems that Jack has been unformally acquainted with The Sound Barrier. And Ratatoskr is definetly intrigued with his presence. What will be their next move? Where did Jack run off? Will our heroes stand a chance?
Stay tuned and find out next time!
