Today, the Loud sisters have a day of downtime after striking a decisive blow to the Quiet Troop's artillery. The DIR may have been destroyed but just what is their endgame? While the rest of the Louds seize this opportunity to rest and prepare for when they'll inevitably clash with the Quiet Troop again, Luna is in Lisa's room, carefully analyzing the song Lana gave her before helping the party destroy the DIR. She has a board filled with pictures and notes, meticulously parsing the song for any clue on what to do next. It would make many a conspiracy theorist proud.

"Ok, so Billy Joel's song is in G major, 4/4 time…"

Meanwhile, in the twins' room, Lana has borrowed Luna's sound equipment to practice karaoke. Lana is just getting ready to sing the song when Lola passes by, wondering what she's doing.

"What are you doing, Lana?"

"Getting ready to sing a karaoke song."

"Ooh, that sounds like fun! Can I join?"

"Do you know the lyrics?"

"No. But can you teach me?"

"Fine."

Lana gives Lola a lyric sheet of the song so that she can memorize the lyrics.

"Got it?"

"Yes."

"I put up an animation to enhance our karaoke experience. Although, the guy I got this from said it was 18+ but I think it's for 14-year-olds since that's the age target for anime."

"Anime? I didn't know you were a weeaboo. I thought you would have more self-respect than that!"

"Just because I like anime doesn't mean I'm a weeb! Besides, Lincoln got me into them before he went missing."

"Oh. Sorry, Lana."

"It's no problem. Now…let's begin."

The twins begin to sing a language swapped version of Colors of the Heart by UVERworld. The one used in Blood+'s OP3. But Lana has something else in mind. She presses a button, which displays the SpongeBob SquarePants Anime OP1 or Narmak SpongeBob, if you'd prefer to call it that. The video begins to play as Lana starts singing.

On that day, my heartbeat waned away

Broken shouts but an unfinished memory and

Dark pupils flow in to paint my picture

Already colored, I can see tomorrow's picture sink

I understand to look for, without fail

To lose, only now, I will live

Even if I succumb to loneliness

Denkiwotsukeru, denkiwotsukeru…

Light to illuminate

A wish to continue thoughts some other time, I'll color it

To be a person who'll know to never give up

Everything necessary inside to be born of iro

Tomorrow, once again, these hands will draw

Unknowingly, I've forgot the things I lost

Even given things slip through my fingers

Before the tears die, my words to go by

Just now for someone to save (Anata no unmeidesu, anata wa sore o shiyou to shite imasu)

Meanwhile, the focus pans back to Luna, who's still struggling to find out just what is so significant about this quintilingual cover of "We Didn't Start the Fire". Some of the lyrics are written in red, so that must be a clue!

"Ok, so the Little Rock in the song refers to the Little Rock 9. A group of nine African American children who were trying to get admitted into a white only school on September 4, 1957. The US military had to be called in to prevent the racist Arkansans from committing niggercide to keep their schools from being sullied by the blacks. If the Arkansans wouldn't have done it, the KKK would've. Since this one is rife with racial hatred, it's no wonder this one is marked in red!"

"Second, is Pasternack. Boris Pasternack is a Russian poet. But despite Russia being the USSR at this time, it isn't marked in red. Maybe the person who composed this has an affinity for the arts?"

"Mickey Mantle is a baseball player who many consider to be one of the greatest players of the sport to ever live."

"Jack Kerouac is an American poet who became somewhat of a celebrity for his unique writing style."

"Sputnik 1, the USSR's satellite that launched on October 4, 1957. Kicked off the Space Race and was an escalation of the Cold War. Marked in red."

"Chou En-Lai, prime minister of the CPC from 1949 to 1976. Marked in red."

"Bridge on the River Kwai, A British war film that won 7 Academy Awards."

"Lebanon, one of the many Arabic countries that want to wipe Israel off of the face of the Earth. Marked in red."

"Charles de Gaulle, French general that fought against the Nazis. Died on November 9, 1970."

"California baseball, the Dodgers and the Giants move to Los Angeles and San Francisco, respectively."

"Starkweather Homicide, Charles Starkweather was a serial killer that murdered 11 people. Marked in red."

"Children of Thalidomide, a drug that was extremely dangerous was given to children, causing all sorts of horrible symptoms and defects. It was given because no one put that it was dangerous on the bottle. It's the reason why Kinder surprise eggs are banned in the USA. Marked in red."

Luna is trying to figure out the rest of the lyrics, when she's distracted by Lola and Lana's singing. She goes over to the twins' room.

"Hey, can you quiet down? I'm trying to figure out this song. You know, the one Lana gave me. The one that could have the answers we're looking for?!"

The twins are having too much fun to notice Luna. They continue singing the song.

If light dims, darkness will grow

Even if I'm scared, I won't fear

Because every heart is born with iro

I have you locked within my sights

Sorrowful kokyū, it's aweing, wao ā

The colors I'm looking for will burst forth

A wish to continue thoughts some other time, I'll color it

To be a person who'll know to never give up

Everything necessary inside to be born of iro

Once again, I'll light them up with my fingertips of light

Chōdo zumen, chōdo zumen…iro ni hikari soshite yami

Soshite sore o toru, soshite sore o toru…iro ni hikari soshite yami

Even now, the gentle colors cannot be reached

All so these hands can draw again

The twins finish their performance.

"Wow, that was amazing."

"Yeah, I had to adapt the Japanese lyrics into English that made sense, given the context of the song."

"What anime is this from?"

"Blood+. I think that it would be Lucy's favorite anime when she grows up. It was also used in Narmak's SpongeBob OP1, that I had play during the duration of us singing the language swapped version of the song."

"By the way, Lola. When did you learn Japanese?"

"When Lincoln taught it to me."

"And you call me a weeb? Did Lincoln try to show you some of his manga, too?"

"No. Why?"

"Are you two finished with your discussion?"

"Yes."

"Great, now can any of you explain why Lola has a lilac aura around her?"

"No."

Well, while we were all busy enjoying the song, the Aeolian Tone that Lola picked up back when they were on their camping trip manifested itself and began swerving itself to the beat of the song. Eventually, it got so much energy, it splatted on a map of Michigan that Lana had up (she had to study the geography of their great state, you see) leaving seven distinct marks on it. Once the song is over, Lana notices it.

"Oh hey, my map of Michigan now has lilac splotches on it!"

"Maybe there's something for us there?"

"No, one of these locations was the Outer Sativum Promontory. All I found there was a useless but very cool looking musical note."

Meanwhile, at the Outer Sativum Promontory…

"Commander Namakemono, we've searched the entire bluff. It's not here anymore."

"WHAT?! How is that even possible? The mistress is going to be pissed off. Well, no matter. Even if some schmuck managed to snag it, it will be totally useless to them. Only a few people can unlock their true potential. And once we obtain four of the seven tones, well…the world will be a better place."

Back at the Loud House…

"Well, we might as well collect these music notes. It's not like we have anything better to do."

"There was one at the Outer Sativum Promontory."

"There's two in Royal Woods, one in the Kiiro Hayashi but the other one has no known location, aside from it being somewhere in Royal Woods."

"There's one in Mackinaw City."

"There's one in Muskegon county…somewhere."

"There's one near Coldwater."

"The last one is in Detroit…oh joy…"

"Ok. We need to talk and inform Luan of the situation."

"Sure. Oh, and thanks for letting me borrow your sound equipment, Luna."

"No prob, sis."

Lana goes off to inform Luan. She deposits all of the clothing equipment not currently in use, then she makes a trip to the store and sells every item except the 3 mac and cheese bites, getting about $710 for everything. Their grand total is $1407 dollars. Luan also notices that the store has started selling ultimate equipment! Luan gets the Opulent Gown. While Luan can't equip it, she knows someone else who can. It cost $475 dollars but it will make this certain someone very happy. She heads back to the Loud House.

"Ok, as Lana has informed me, apparently Lola brought back a souvenir while she was exploring the Outer Sativum Promontory looking for answers."

"By the way, the file is still only 10% decrypted."

"Aw really? Oh well, the important thing is that we're going to collect these music notes. Since Lola's reacted to music, maybe if we get all seven of them, then play music or sing, then maybe these tones will do something."

"What about the Quiet Troop?"

"Well, they haven't been causing much trouble ever since we destroyed the DIR, so let's consider this a Michigan-wide scavenger hunt. But which one should we go for first and which party should go first?"

"I'll go."

"Me too, dude. Can't let you have all the fun."

"You'll need me on your team."

"And me."

"Ok, but which one are you going for?"

"I'm going to try to go for the one at Mackinaw City since it's the furthest away. If there are no objections…"

No one speaks up.

"It's unanimous. We're going to Mackinaw!"

"Oh, Lola. I got a gift for you."

"Really?"

Luan hands her the Opulent Gown.

"It's…so beautiful! Thank you, Luan!"

"Well, try it on."

Lola immediately equips the Opulent Gown, giving her 66 offense, 61 defense, 34 HP and 42 PP!

"Well, Lori. You should restock up on supplies before heading out."

"That's literally a great idea."

Lori gets 4 Cups of Lifenoodles and 4 Delicious Dango. The Louds' shared budget is now $870 dollars.

"Alright, let's set off! To Mackinaw!"

Author's Note: chapter 7 is the point in the story where the player can swap out party members and customize their party to contain whichever Loud sister they want, except Lincoln and Lisa for obvious reasons. I already have preset teams for this story but in the real game you can select 4 of the 9 remaining siblings.

The tones respond to music, so why not kick off chapter 7 by having Lana and Lola singing the ROMI/ROMIX cover of Colors of the heart by UVERworld. Just as Lana said, this is an adapted language swap of the original song. What that means is that the Japanese lyrics were converted into English and vice versa. Then the jumbled up translated lyrics were reconverted into lyrics that fit the context of the original song's anime origin (in this case, Blood+).

And so, chapter 7 has a Michigan-wide scavenger hunt for these musical relics. Who will get 4 of the 7 first, and just what power and secrets do they hold? When will Lisa's machine finish decrypting that data file from chapter 2 that the Quiet Troop wanted to recover so badly? Strap in, folks. We're heading into the longest chapter and the most important arc of the whole story!
