After making the necessary preparations, Lori's party begins to set off for the location of the second tone, which is somewhere in Mackinaw City.
"Hey Aeolia, which tone is in Mackinaw?"
The Aeolian Tone appears before Lola and changes its "A" into a "D". It holds this form for a few seconds before reverting back to normal.
"D? What could that mean?"
"Oh, that means we're going after the Dorian Tone next. The Dorian mode starts and ends with D notes. It is the second mode of the heptatonic scale. They go in this order: Aeolian, Locrian, Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian and Mixolydian. Coincidentally, the Dorian needle was chronologically the second needle pulled in Mother 3. I know this because I spied on Lincoln while he was playing that game."
"Guys, get ready. We're heading into Mackinaw City now."
Finally, after a lengthy 4-hour drive, the party arrives in Mackinaw City. But there's no time to take in the sights, these four are on a mission to recover the Dorian Tone! Although someone may have been listening.
"Hey, I overheard the Loud sisters saying that one of the seven tones is in Mackinaw City. Senbō, you're the closest to where that tone is."
"Great, I'll head over there immediately. Why don't you head over to this place and keep an eye on someone for me?"
He whispers the location to him over the phone.
"Okay, I'll do it."
"I'm at Bois Blanc Island, so I'm really close by. Await further instructions while I secure the tone."
They hang up.
Back to the party, they're contemplating on just where the Dorian Tone actually is.
"Hey, do you know where the Dorian Tone is, Aeolia?"
The Aeolian tone points forward. The Louds head all the way forward until they reach the northernmost point of Michigan. Fighting off some random enemies along the way, the party managed to get an Icy Tank-Top and a Purity Shirt from rare enemy drops. Lori equips the Icy Tank-Top, which gives her 51 offense, 51 defense, 50 HP and 50 PP!
"Hey, I can see the Ontarian border from over here!"
Currently, they are on the beach, overlooking the point where Lake Michigan, Huron and Superior meet up. After admiring the scenery, they're about to head back until they're ambushed by a familiarly irritating miniboss. Suddenly, a flashback appears, describing just what makes this boss so infuriating! Narrated by one of the most genki commentators you've ever heard.

"Whew! That was close!"
"Yeah, but didn't that creature have a familiar face?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean it had the face of a money-grubbing megalomaniacal character from an awesome late '90s show."
"No, I didn't notice anything like that. But we really should heal up before we proceed further. I have a feeling that we might be getting close to the Dorian Tone and if that's the case, there's going to be a boss guarding it."
"Good point, Lola."
After resting up, the team goes back to the beach where they fought Master Eddy.
"Aeolia, where is the Dorian Tone?"
It drifts off into the distance. As the party follows it, they see a lighthouse coming up on the horizon.
"Is that where it is?"
"The Old Mackinac Point Light Lighthouse? How did the Dorian Tone get there?"
"Who cares, one of the seven tones is in that building!"
"I think the best course of action is to take the tour so that we know the exact location of the Dorian Tone."
"Do we have enough time? Someone else could be hunting for them!"
"Yes. And I don't think anyone else knows about them."
The quartet goes to the entrance to attempt to take a tour.
"Welcome to Point Light. Are there 4 of you here today?"
"Yes."
"How old are you?"
"17, 15, 13, 6."
"Luckily for you, you're the first ones here today. That will be $29 dollars."
Lori forks over the money.
"Great. The first stop on our guided tour is right here. I'm going to let you listen to a fog whistle."
The guide pulls on a lever to activate the foghorn. A long blaring drone is heard reverberating all around the surrounding area.
"Oh, this reminds me of SpongeBob's alarm clock!"
"Shut it, Lola! Show some respect!"
"It's no problem. Anyways, these fog whistles are used to let the people operating the lighthouse know that there is a ship in the vicinity. Now, if you'll follow me, the second stop on our tour is the Keeper's Quarters."
The party follows him to the Keeper's Quarters. After admiring all the nautical exhibits in the 3 rooms, as well as hearing more fog whistles and looking at many optic lights for lighthouses, they notify their tour guide.
"You're done? Well the third stop on our five-point tour is the highlight of the whole experience. Climbing the lighthouse tower. However, near the end of the climb, you'll have to go through a narrow hatch opening."
"Well, Luna and I are literally too big to fit through the crawl space."
"And I'm too short to even attempt the climb! "Must be at least 4 feet to climb the tower." I feel ripped off!"
"I guess I'll climb the tower."
Lynn goes off to climb the tower. 11 minutes later, she comes back."
"Ok, I'll admit that climbing the tower was pretty cool. By the way, the tone isn't in there."
"The fourth stop is the Barn, where you'll watch a 15-minute documentary of all the shipwrecks that happened off of the coast of Mackinaw. It's called Shipwrecks of the Straits."
The party goes into the barn and watches the entire short film.
"That reminds me of a scene from SpongeBob!"
"Moving behind the rocks!"
"Keep going! You're good! You're good! You're good!"
"The last point of our tour is the Warehouse, which houses even more nautical knickknacks."
The party thoroughly explore the Warehouse but they find nothing in the makeshift nautical museum.
"Thanks for taking the tour. Please, tell your friends. And, we're glad you enjoyed it."
The party begins to leave.
"Lola, I think your tone is defective."
"Aeolia, are you sure the Dorian Tone is here?"
"Of course it is, because I'm here!"
The mysterious person reveals themselves as the crowd begins to disperse away from them and the party.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here? A tribade, a dyke, a butch and a bitch. I can't believe someone as vapid as you managed to activate the Aeolian Tone. Not even we can do that! That being said…the mistress still needs these tones to reshape the world!"
"And just as an assurance, I have something special for you, Whori. You know that Hispanic hunk that we all know you just want to fuck already? I have a sleeper agent with him right now. On my orders, he can easily make you and him heartbroken! So, give me the tone and I will spare him. If not…"
"No way! These tones will give us answers on what has happened to us!"
"Fine, then! Like McDonalds, my agent will be lovin' it! Now, en guarde!"
Nouveau Chandler suddenly attacked!

We see what Chandler is talking about. The scene transitions to Bobby and the sleeper agent hanging out before he gets the order. The agent takes out a switchblade knife and begins his plan but not before uttering two words.
"FOR LORI!"
The scene transitions to a battle. It seems that Bobby is the "player character".

The enemy dropped a present!
Inside the present was a Plain Plantain!
Lori takes the Plain Plantain
"I'll remember this, Loud bitches!"
He flies off to the Old Mackinac Point Light Lighthouse's Barn. As he flies past the Barn, he sees his objective. A fiery, lustrous crimson red eighth note! This is the Dorian Tone! He recovers it, then flies away from the area. Meanwhile, Chandler's sleeper agent is still in the process of murdering Lori's boyfriend. Luckily, Chandler dropped his communicator. Lori picks it up and yells at the assailant.
"IF YOU LAND EVEN ONE FINGERTIP ON MY PRECIOUS BOBBY BOO BOO BEAR, I'LL GRIND YOU INTO DUST!"
"L-L-L-L-Lori?"
The person sighs and faints after having a nosebleed. Luckily, Bobby managed to escape while he was unconscious. Bobby called the police and they arrest Clyde for almost murdering Bobby. While he does get life in prison for his attempted crime of passion, he didn't mention the Quiet Troop even once!
With their trip to Mackinaw a failure, Lori's party heads back to the Loud House.
Differences Between Decadence and Mother 3:
Mother 3: This location is visited fourth chronologically. Lucas journeys to Saturn Valley to pull the Phrygian needle, only to discover that the Pigmask Army has gotten there first and are trying to extract the location of the Phrygian needle from the Mr. Saturns by having their Frightbots tell scary stories to them! Not only that, they managed to capture Duster and the Rope Snake! After liberating the village, the Mr. Saturns tell Lucas' party that the needle is at Fire Mountain. After trekking into the inner bowels of the volcano, they find the Phrygian needle in an enclave! Before they could pull it, Fassad ambushes them and fights them as New Fassad, a cybernetically enhanced menace adorned with French horns! Lucas and his companions beat New Fassad and Lucas pulls the needle, making the score 2-2.
Decadence: This location is visited fourth chronologically. After the Louds arrive in Mackinaw City, they head to the northernmost point of Michigan. A place colloquially known as the Great Lake Tripoint, where Lake Michigan, Lake Huron and Lake Superior meet up. After getting ambushed by Master Eddy and his brother, they head to Point Light, where the Dorian Tone is hiding. After scouring the lighthouse and not finding anything, the Louds decide to explore the rest of Mackinaw before being ambushed by Senbō who ambushes them and finally reveals himself as Chandler! He fights the Louds as Nouveau Chandler, a cybernetic redesign complete with fifes replacing many parts of him that were viscerally damaged from his supposedly fatal fall from the DIR. Not only that, he's got a sleeper agent in another member of the Inner 7, Don'yoku! If they don't submit, he will sic him on a very important person to one of them. The fight starts, the Louds kick his ass and stop Don'yoku from murdering someone special. It's either stop Don'yoku and let Chandler get the Dorian Tone, or the Louds get the Dorian Tone and Don'yoku succeeds in murdering one of the Louds' allies and is still an active operative within the Inner 7! Naturally, the Louds choose the moral option, making the score 2-2.
Author's Note: Just like chapter 7 in the original Mother 3, you can choose to go after whichever tone you want first! Unlike Mother 3, you can even go after the 6th tone first (if you forgot it, that is) because there's nothing stopping you (no ants blocking the path this time)! The enemies in this section are in between levels 40-45, except for Master Eddy (who has the same stats he did in Mother 3) and Chandler (who is still level 51). And in Decadence, there are NO presents in chapter 7; All equipment must be gotten through random enemy drops or bought in stores.
In Decadence's chapter 7, the tones have changed locations when compared to their Mother 3 counterparts:
Decadence-Mother 3
Aeolia-Ionia
Locria-Locria
Ionia-Mixolydia
Doria-Phrygia
Phrygia-Mixolydia
Lydia-Doria
Mixolydia-Aeolia
Yes, that Japanese text is Chuggaaconroy's description of the Master Eddy fight. And yes, it was a pain to translate.
In the Master Eddy fight, if Luan is in the party and has 2 of the 7 tones up to this point (including Aeolian), she can use 64 PP to counter his HP to 1 grievous whirlpool. If pulled off successfully, the following messages will be displayed:
With the last of his strength, Master Eddy generated a whirlpool!
With the last of her strength, Luan generated a whirlpool!
The two vortices cancelled each other out!
This is the second highest PP cost, only beaten out by Luna's PK Rockin' ω, which costs 109 PP!
Master Eddy's whirlpools have been reclassified as PK attacks, specifically PK Water γ. PK Water is an offensive PK ability, just like Fire, Freeze and Thunder. It works like the opposite of Thunder, with α attacking one target while β, γ and ω attack all enemies with increasing amounts of damage depending on the level. It's strong against PK Fire and PK Thunder, while being weak to PK Freeze and PK Thunder. Luan is a water user...its a shame that Hokori is a lightning user.
Master Eddy's grievous whirlpool is scripted to always leave you at 1 HP. Because of this, it also shatters shields, regardless of counters!
Shields also work differently in Decadence. α halves damage to one party member, β halves damage to the entire group, γ reflects attacks back at the enemy if they target a person with a γ level shield and ω reflects attacks back at the enemy, regardless of who they attack! The shields break after 8 hits if they're not renewed. PK shields break after 4 hits. Shield Killer/Shield Snatcher immediately removes shields. PK Shields are still unaffected by PK Ground (not a problem since only 2 enemies in the entire game can use it) and PK Thunder.
Speaking of shields, Leni has a special ability to deal with pesky lightning users. PK Love θ and PK Love λ can make Leni cast a shield that nullifies both PK Thunder and PK Ground. It doesn't work on any other PK abilities since it deals with two of the most dangerous PK attacks. The status is called "Hexagonize" and it is one of two new statuses (the other being "Sarin", a worse version of "Poison"). Hexagonize makes PK Thunder a non-issue by cancelling out 98% of the damage dealt per lightning strike! For PK Ground, it only deals damage once (as opposed to the 5 times it normally inflicts) and has no chance of PK Ground inflicting trip on the person with the status. Hexagonize goes away after 4 turns. It costs a high amount of PP to use (34 for θ and 49 for λ).
All information about Point Light was taken off the Mackinaw City website.
Chandler also calls the Louds disgusting terms just to show how much he hates them. Here's the list depending on which characters you use (which also differs in the Japanese Version):
Lori: Tribade/男性(Dansei/Male)
Leni: Defect/遅らす(Okurasu/Delay)
Luna: Dyke/ユリ肝臓(Yuri kanzō/Lily Liver)
Luan: Yuckster/才能のない(Sainō no nai/Talentless)
Lynn: Butch/獣(Kemono/Beast)
Lucy: Ghost/死神(Shinigami/Death God)
Lana: Virus/パンデミック(Pandemikku/Pandemic)
Lola: Bitch/悪意(Akui/Malice)
Lily: Cancer/窒息する毒(Chissoku suru doku/Suffocating Poison)
Operation Derestruction is a portmanteau of the words Dere, an anime term meaning "lover" and destruction. Fitting, since the operation has Don'yoku try to murder Bobby to destroy Lori's love is exchange for the Dorian tone. Clyde always had an obsessive crush on Lori, so I just amplified that to its logical conclusion and made him a yandere. He will kill anyone in his way that stands in between him and Lori! After dealing half of his HP in damage, Chandler will activate his sleeper agent and the operation is put into effect. The Louds have 3 minutes to finish the fight with Chandler. If they take too long, Clyde would've stabbed Bobby to death and the player would get an instant game over for letting this happen. Fortunately, it shouldn't be that hard since you only have to deplete the second half of his HP!
If Lori isn't in the party, Chandler would say:
"And I have an assurance just for your de-facto leader! If you won't surrender the Dorian Tone to us, I will have my sleeper agent make her life a living hell, which will make YOUR lives a living hell! So, will you still oppose me?!"
"As we speak, her reason for living is fading away. There's no way you'll beat me before operation Derestruction is completed!"
At the end of the battle, the Loud in the first slot will speak to Clyde in order to stop him from murdering Bobby. Upon hearing their voice, he stops and runs away. Bobby lives but Clyde flees and remains a part of the Inner 7 from behind the scenes.
Even though Bobby would never beat Clyde, here are his stats in the "battle" with him:
Don'yoku/ごりど(Gorido)/Greed
Level: 45

Lisa's Database Description: The financier of the Inner 7, Don'yoku is not a fighter. The reason his attack is higher than the max value is because of the switchblade knife he carries around. He plays with it more than Boris Grishenko does with that magnetic pen in Goldeneye 007! His weakness, if you could call it that, would be Lori Loud. But even if by some 0.0000000000011% chance you happen to be Lori Loud, it's still not safe for you because he is a known yandere. And we all know what happens when yanderes get rejected...
Originally, the money would have come from a Hispanic country that hates Mexico. Unfortunately, it seems all of the Hispanic countries like Mexico. The original currency would have been the Portuguese escudo. I settled on the bolivar because Venezuela is kind of a terrible country right now thanks to my dildo (I know his name is Nicolás Maduro, I said that to insult/mock him). At the time of writing this, the bolivar is so worthless that that fat stack you thought you got from beating Don'yoku is actually worth ONE FUCKING QUARTER!
If you really are a stickler for details and want to be pedantic about it, the Hiawatha National Forest would be the area surrounded by all 3 lakes. But it doesn't count since it's a forest and it's not on mainland Michigan, it's on the Upper Peninsula. Although technically a part of Michigan, I consider it a part of Wisconsin (even though 1800s politics prevented that from happening). Any further than that and you would've reached Lake Superior. 8 miles across the lake and you'll be in Ontario, Canada, eh? Good luck escaping from the RCMP!
