I don't own the Loud House.
We're nearing the end of this story. I had a lot of fun with it but I'll be glad once it's done. I've kind of had my fill of superhero stories for now and I need to focus on my other works in progress. So once this is done, I'll take a break from superhero themed stories. Lol.
I'm sorry for the delays, I had covid a couple of weeks ago and I had to recover from that before I could write again. And yesterday I was busy with family stuff and I couldn't break away to update. So I'm doing it now. I got two updates today. This one and another story that was inspired by a friend from discord. I'll explain more in the Author's notes of that story. It's kind of funny how it came to be.
I do want you guys to know that I have a bunch of stories coming up real soon. I have a few that were commissioned by fans of mine and they've given me a lot of input on how they want the story to go. When they're done, I'll be sharing them with all of you. So look forward to that.
Enjoy!
Stupor Heroics: Incursion
Chapter 9
Lori cursed fate for how things played out. She had learned Ace's real identity but the cost was being late to the actual fighting. Even with the Javelin Jet that was built by SHIELD using future Lisa's plans, they would arrive 15 minutes after the invasion started. Lori could easily fly faster than the jet but going at those speeds would drain some of her energy reserves and Lori knew that she would need to be at full power for this.
In the Javelin, Lori was joined by Ace and Lynn. All flights had been grounded but special permission had been granted for them to fly from Michigan to California. Battles would be fought all over the world but one of the biggest invasion forces would land in Los Angeles.
She just hoped that they would arrive in time to help.
XXXXX
A large shadow had appeared over the city about 30 minutes ago. Word had arrived from SHIELD that an alien invasion was imminent and that the city should be evacuated. The city was put on alert and a mass text was sent out all the entirety of the United States. People had begun to scream and run around like wild animals when they saw the text and the large object in the sky. But thankfully, Law Enforcement and the local Heroes were already in place to help guide them to underground shelters.
Among the heroes helping guide the frightened civilians was Leni. Ace had told her that she would be staying in Royal Woods with her family in order to protect them. But when Leni heard that Becky, Carol, and Dana were going to be fighting in Los Angeles without Lori or Lynn, Leni couldn't stay home. She used her special nighty dress and hid inside of Becky's shadow just like Lucy had shown her. And when they landed in LA, Leni popped out and scared the jeebies out of Becky.
"GAH! Leni, what the hell, man?" Becky shouted as she clutched her heart. The poor redhead was already wound up enough with the whole alien invasion about to happen. She didn't need her friend to suddenly take after Lucy of all people.
"Sorry, Becky." Leni apologized, clasping her hands in front of her. "But I couldn't just stand by and leave you guys to fight all alone."
"What do you mean, I'm not fighting alone." Becky asked, confused.
"I heard that Lynn and Lori weren't coming so I decided to come here instead. You guys need a strong fighter after all." Leni explained.
"Leni, I appreciate your concern, girl, but you do realize that I'm stronger than you, right?" Becky asked her ditzy friend. "Like, way stronger than you."
Leni just shook her head. "Becky, I always held back because I didn't want to hurt you." She said patiently. "But now I don't have to hold back anymore. I can use my full power!"
Becky watched as Leni suddenly struck a hero pose, making her sweat drop. "Alright, girl, whatever you say."
Suddenly, Carol came rushing by. "Becky, we need yo-Leni, what are you doing here?"
"Hi, Carol, I came to help." Leni told her.
Carol shared a glance with Becky, silently having a conversation with her. But ultimately, Carol just nodded. "Alright, Leni, you can help me, come on."
And so they rushed around their sector guiding people to the underground bunkers. Los Angeles was rather large and over the last five years, new construction had taken place. Beneath the city, large bunkers were built that would be able to hold a portion of the population within. Unfortunately, they couldn't hold everyone underground. At least, not within the city.
So SHIELD along with the state of California made long tunnels that stretched throughout the city and led people safely outside of the city limits to shelters that would be far from any fighting. Unfortunately, the sheer number of people within the city made it impossible to have a functioning rail system within those escape tunnels. So anyone who used them had to go on foot. And on foot they went, walking for miles in order to escape the war that was about to be unleashed on the city of angels.
As the hour came to an end, more than half of the city had been evacuated and roads heading out of the city had been cleared of all cars so that people could escape on foot. They had done all that could be done with such little short notice and law enforcement would continue to do their part. But the Heroes would now need to focus on the threat from above. Becky had not been lying when she said that she wouldn't be fighting alone.
Spread throughout the city were heroes, SHIELD Agents, and military personnel waiting and ready to defend their position. Ace hadn't been there when the invasion began but he did have knowledge from those who witnessed it. So they knew that the massive UFO above them would send drop ships throughout the city to invade it from all sides. It was going to literally drop its army on top of them and try to overwhelm them with sheer numbers.
"Are you scared?" Leni asked her friends.
Carol was shaking slightly and Becky looked worried. The only one who didn't show just how worried or scared she was was Dana, who had fought an alien before.
"Of course we're scared." Carol said. She nodded towards the sky. "But we've been training for this and we're going to do our best."
"Yea," Becky nodded. "But I'll admit that I'd be less scared if Lori was here."
The other two girls nodded their own agreement.
"But you guys have me." Leni pointed out. She thought that she was a great substitute for her older sister. After all, Leni was strong too.
"No offense, Leni, but Lori is just..." Carol began, trying to say her words delicately. "Well, she's probably the strongest hero we got."
Leni frowned. "You don't think that I can be just as strong as her?"
Dana put a calming hand on Leni's shoulder. "We know that you're strong, Leni. But we would all just feel better if Lori was also here. The two of you would be unstoppable, right?"
Leni had to admit that Dana made a good point. But before she could answer, the alarms changed from evacuation to invasion. And with the different sounds now blaring throughout the city, everyone knew that they had run out of time. All they could do now was wait for the fighting to commence and pray that they made it out alive.
Leni watched from her spot within the building's entrance as the aliens began their invasion. Several flying grey ships flew out of the much larger space ship and began to fly all over the city. Among them also came hundreds of tiny ships that Leni knew were fighter ships that would protect the carrier ships. And as she waited with her friends, Leni reached into her special Leni pouch and pulled out a yellow scarf. Leni was still wearing her Nighty Dress and she knew that she would need to accessorize for the upcoming battle.
In the middle of the cross street, a massive ship landed taking most of the space in between the buildings. From its sides, doors began to slide open and several hundred soldiers began to march out. But as Leni looked on, she saw that they weren't soldiers, no, these things were robots.
There were two types of robots that she could see. The first and most numerous was a thin light brown robot that reminded her of a skeleton only its head was the shape of a cylinder. It was carrying a black rifle of some sort and it looked almost adorable if it wasn't for the fact that it came to invade them. The second and much scarier of the two was a large grey robot. It was taller than the brown skinny robot and it didn't really have a head. Well, it did have a head but it was built into its torso which was also large. Its body was well armored and it looked like it meant business.
As the enemy began to march down the road, Leni looked at her friends. "When do we fight back?"
"Now." Becky said.
And Leni watched as Becky rushed outside, quickly growing into her giant form and stomping down on several of the robots. But as soon as she appeared, the robots wasted no time in firing upon her. Carol and Dana rushed out as with the heroes leading the charge, the rest of the city's defenders also joined in.
Leni used the powers of her Nighty Dress to melt into the shadows of the building that she had been hiding in and she jumped out of Becky's enormous shadow. As she did, her palms began to crackle with electricity and her eyes sparked dangerously. The yellow scarf that she had equipped was called the Spark Scarf and it gave her electrical attacks. And right now she was going to use them to help her friends.
Leni landed in the center of about 20 robots and lightning shot out of her body, shocking each of the robots. They let out a garbled cry of pain before they burst into pieces and fell on the road. Two grey robots began to shoot red lasers at Leni but she rolled out the way. As she came up on her knee, she closed one eye as she aimed her hand like a gun and shot two bolts of lightning towards the robots. She struck one in the shoulder and the other in the chest. But it didn't seem to be enough to stop them.
"I got them!" Dana shouted as she came out of nowhere. The bunny girl delivered a kick to one of their chests and shattered it. Then she spun around, jumped up and kneed the other in the head, breaking it as well. And as Dana landed, she flashed Leni a large smile before dashing off to fight more robots.
Despite their initial success, Leni could see that more and more ships were landing all over the place and fighting had erupted in almost every block of the city. Charging up her fists, Leni jumped into the shadows once again in order to do her part to defend the city.

Carol wasn't a frontline fighter like Becky, Dana, or Lori. She was more of a support type hero. But that didn't mean that she couldn't fight. No, Carol knew how to fight. And she also knew how to use her powers to the best of her abilities. All of that training had helped immensely and she was now putting it to good use.
Carol's powers revolved around time manipulation, more specifically, time manipulation of her own time. She could stop time, go back, go forward, slow it down, speed it up, etc. But she could only do it on her own time which meant that she couldn't just freeze time for everyone. Well, she could but not like you think. Carol could stop time and move freely but she could only do it for as long as she could hold her breath. Though that only applied if she stopped her own time. To everyone else, time wouldn't be affected. But to her, the world stood still while Carol moved about freely.
It was hard to explain but suffice to say that Carol had practiced her abilities in order to be able to use them in combat. And to help her, Carol had trained using a staff. She effectively called it her Chrono Staff and it looked just like a wizard's staff. It was six feet tall and at the base it had a metal cap which was formed into a dull spike. At the top it was a little thicker with a crystal inside of the wood. The wood framing the crystal looked like tiny branches wrapping around it. And it was just for looks since it didn't do anything with her powers. She just really liked how it looked.
And right now, Carol was using her powers to stop time in order to bash her enemies with her staff. It really helped when they didn't move. Sadly, she couldn't do it indefinitely and by attacking, she used her precious withheld breath. Thankfully, her friends were all used to her method of attacks so when Carol suddenly appeared surrounded by enemies which promptly fell over, Dana appeared beside her.
"Going up!" She shouted as she grabbed Carol by the waist and jumped high into the air.
Carol was far too used to that method of travel and she just held onto her friend as she caught her breath. As they reached the peak of Dana's super jump, a large hand appeared out of nowhere and Becky caught them. Then she would charge into the next group of enemies and Dana and Carol would leap off in order to help out.
Thankfully, Carol wasn't scared of jumping out of Becky's hand anymore. Using her time manipulation, Carol could jump off of a cliff and literally wait till the last five seconds and slow time down so that she could land safely on the ground. She wasn't sure how that worked exactly but she wasn't going to complain.
Carol stopped time once more and began to take down as many of the robots in her path as she could. The day was still young and so was this battle. Carol just hoped that they could manage to win today.

As the battles continued, Becky was starting to regret turning into a giant. Being so large, the redhead was an easy target. She was being constantly shot at by those damn robots and while their blaster shots did little damage, it still stung like hell! But what was causing her to regret her actions was those damn fighter jets! Becky was being shot at by those alien flyers as they passed her by overhead and there wasn't much she could do about it. Their noticeably much larger bullets actually hurt Becky and her arms and back were starting to bleed from numerous wounds on her body.
She tried to swat them out of the sky and she managed to get a couple of them but the enemy aircraft got smart and began to fly out of her range of attack. The fighting around the city had also begun to set parts of it on fire. Smoke was thick in the air and Becky was starting to not be able to see or breathe very well in her giant form. She hated to admit it but she was going to have to go small for the rest of this fight.
"Becky!" A tiny voice shouted from below.
Turning towards the voice, Becky saw Leni pointing towards something behind her. But that was all that Becky managed to see or do as she was suddenly struck from behind and her world vanished into darkness.

Leni had been fighting alongside Becky, using her shadow to jump in and out in order to attack. But as she blasted another battle droid, which she learned that that's what they were called, Leni saw something coming from one of the enemy ships. A figure flew out of the ship and a purple aura seemed to engulf its entire body before it shot towards Becky. The giant girl wasn't aware of the impending danger that she was in and Leni tried to warn her. It was in vain as the purple flying thing struck Becky in the back of the head and the giant girl was knocked out. Becky fell forward and she smashed into the second and third floor of a nearby building. And that's how the giant girl remained since she couldn't deactivate her powers while unconscious.
Leni then watched as the glowing figure landed in the middle of the road. To her surprise, it wasn't a robot. And it wasn't an it either. It was actually a girl, or rather, a woman. A woman with brown hair, black and white armor, and a brown belt wrapped around her waist.
"I thought that giant would put up a better fight than that!" The armored woman said as she let out a bark of laughter. "That was way too easy!"
Leni frowned. "Who are you?" She demanded.
The woman turned towards Leni as if seeing her for the first time. "Oh? I didn't see you there, girlie. Let me guess, that giant was your friend?"
"Yea!" Leni nodded.
"Well I did you a favor by putting her out of her misery. I can do the same for you."
Leni glared. "I won't let you hurt any more of my friends."
"Oh yea? And how are you going to stop me?" The woman asked.
But Leni didn't answer. She simply vanished into her shadow and reappeared behind the armored woman. It happened so fast that the woman was too shocked to react. She barely managed to turn around to face Leni just as Leni placed her hands over the woman's face.
"Lightning Blast!" Leni shouted, unleashing every bit of power that remained within her scarf.
The woman screamed as she blasted away from Leni, crashing into a bus before it exploded. Leni covered her face with her arms when the bus exploded but she didn't dare look away. She knew that the alien woman wasn't dead.
And to prove her suspicions correct, there was a sudden gust of power that pushed the debris away from the woman, dispersing the smoke and fire. The woman growled at Leni as she reached up and wiped a small trickle of blood.
"I'll admit, I wasn't expecting that." The woman told her over the sounds of battle. "You might just make this worth it."
Leni reached up and pulled off the now grey and tattered scarf. She had used every bit of power within her Spark Scarf and it was now useless. Reaching into her bag, Leni pulled out a pair of white wool gloves. Her hands felt a sudden warmth spread out and travel up her arms and into her chest.
"I'll make you regret hurting my friends!" Leni shouted.

Dana ducked under another barrage of blaster bolts and then rushed over and destroyed the two droids with one powerful kick. Apparently the robots were called battle droids and they were quite easy to break with her powerful legs. But not the super battle droids, those were a bit more sturdier.
Dana picked up the fallen droid's blaster rifle and leaped high in the air to avoid a missile that was fired by a super battle droid. While in the air, Dana took aim and roughly fired at the droid. She shot it in the chest and a couple bolts struck its head, causing it to fall backwards. When she landed, Dana looked around to see what was going on in her surroundings. And that's when she noticed that Becky had been taken out.
Her redheaded best friend was half lying within a building in her giant form. Dana couldn't see if Becky was still alive or not but it didn't look good to the bunny girl. Then she noticed that Leni was currently fighting some brown haired woman with white and black armor and a dark blue skin tight leotard. The woman was clearly stronger as Leni kept sticking to the shadows of the tall buildings and popping in and out around the battlefield. The woman was capable of firing energy blasts from her hands and she kept trying to blast Leni. But Leni was able to dodge her for now.
Dana knew that Leni wouldn't be able to do that forever since her powers would eventually burn through her dress. She was going to help Leni when she heard Carol cry out in pain. Turning around, Dana saw that a few blocks away their forces were being pushed back by a new wave of enemies.
Another ship had landed and this time they deposited what looked like large hovering tanks along with more droids. Carol had been shot by one of the new tanks and the girl had barely dodged it. The blond girl was lying in the middle of the street and she was struggling to get up. Dana cursed her luck but she knew what she had to do. Crouching down, she launched herself towards Carol and scooped her friend up. Leni would be able to take care of herself until she could back her up.

Leni jumped out of another shadow created by a bent lamp post and she aimed her left hand towards Fasha, the female alien who she was fighting. The white glove began to instantly glow and a golden light shot out from the center like an energy beam. The beam shot past the woman as she dodged the attack. But as Leni landed in the middle of the road, she suddenly felt a tug at her dress. The gown was now grey and Leni cursed. She had used her Nighty Dress up and now she needed to change.
"Wait!" Leni shouted as she held up her hands.
"What?" Fasha asked, confused. In her hand was a glowing purple orb in her right hand in mid throw.
"I need to change real quick. Just give me a second." Leni said quickly.
Then to Fasha's surprise, the blonde and rather busty blonde girl reached up and ripped her dress literally off of her. The blonde was wearing a seafoam green set of bra and panties which Fasha had to admit that it looked rather fetching on the girl. Then Leni reached into a small bag and pulled out a pair of blue overalls and a red tank top. She quickly got dressed and then reached into her front pouch of her overalls and pulled something out. To Fasha's surprise, the girl then placed a fake mustache on her face.
"What are you doing?" Fasha asked the blonde.
Leni gave her a large smile and then said with a slightly strange accent. "It's-a me, Leni!"
Fasha could feel her neck creak like a rusted machine as it felt a centimeter to the left. "What?" She asked, dumbfounded.
But Leni didn't answer and she suddenly sprang forward and jumped midway towards her. To Fasha's continued surprise, a sound like a spring sounded off when Leni jumped. And then the busty blonde decked her in the face and several gold coins appeared out of nowhere.
"What?" She demanded as she landed.
"I told you, it's-a me, Leni!" Leni said, glaring at the alien woman.
Fasha growled. "That's it, I'm killing you now!"
She quickly charged up an energy blast in both hands before she thrust her hands forwards and they combined into a single attack. "Double Buster!"
Leni didn't move from her spot. She didn't try to dodge or jump out of the way, she simply stayed put as the attack neared. Then at the last second, Fasha saw a flash of yellow and then her own attack began hurling towards her. Too surprised to react, Fasha was struck by her own attack and she was engulfed in the blast.
It took her a few moments to gather her bearings but Fasha was able to stand up from the crater that she had inadvertently created. She jumped out of the crater and smoke cloud and glared at the busty blonde.
"Okay, big tits, how did you do that!?" Fasha demanded.
"I used my cape." Leni told her.
"Your cape?" Fasha questioned.
"Yea, my cape." Leni then reached behind her and from somewhere that Fasha couldn't see, a yellow cape appeared out of nowhere. "See? My cape."
"And that can send my attacks back at me?" Fasha asked.
"Yep." Leni nodded.
Fasha cursed. That big tittied bitch had effectively crippled her range attacks. "Okay, fine. Then I guess I'll just have to choke the life out of you then."
"You can certainly try." Leni told her, glaring at the alien.

It took Dana several minutes to find a safe place to set Carol down. The whole city was being overrun despite their defenses. Their own outpost had already been overrun and Becky and Leni were behind enemy lines. She wasn't sure who was left in that zone beside them but most of their soldiers had either retreated or were dead. The battle droids weren't taking any prisoners.
When Dana found an outpost, she was surprised to see just how bad things were. There were hundreds of wounded soldiers lying on cots and on the ground. Those who had healing powers were spreading themselves thin just to treat them. Dana then looked over the command tent and saw a third of the battle map had red Xs all over it. That meant that a third of the city had fallen. How could that have happened so fast? It hadn't even been ten minutes!
"Dana, you need to go and help Becky." Carol told her as she stood up. She was still wounded but her body was healing quickly. Benefits of time manipulation, she could speed up her own healing.
"But what about you? Are you going to be fine?" Dana asked her.
"I will." Carol raised a hand and Dana could see that she was almost fully healed. "Now go, I'll be fine."
Dana nodded and then rushed off as fast as she could go. Along the way, she tore through as many battle droids as she could, using her powerful kicks to break them to pieces. A few tanks took potshots at her but Dana was able to jump out of the way and use the buildings to avoid them. As she got closer to where Leni was still fighting, she was shocked to see just how many droids there were. The whole street was full of them and they were marching towards the outpost that Dana had just come from. There must've been thousands in front of her and for the first time, Dana was hit by just how many enemies there were.
"There's no way we can win..." Dana said to herself as she gazed upon the vast army below her.
Just then, a group of soldiers came out of a subway entrance and they began to fire upon the enemy. They were outnumbered and outgunned but each of them fought like hell. They were bravely taking on an enemy force that far exceeded them and yet they hadn't given up. They were fighting to protect their home and loved ones and Dana felt ashamed with herself. How could she claim to be a hero when those soldiers were fighting without powers? How could she live with herself knowing that she gave less than those brave men?
Steeling up her nerve, Dana burst through the office window and landed in front of the six soldiers. They didn't stop firing nor did they greet her, they all knew that they were in the shit. And Dana didn't waste any time in helping them fight.

Leni panted as she looked across the street to her opponent. Fasha was much stronger than her, even without her energy attacks. Her Mario suit had just given out on her and Leni was about to change again. She was exhausted and she wasn't sure just how much longer she could keep this up.
"Are you done with your games?" Fasha asked her.
"I'm not playing any games." Leni retorted.
Fasha face palmed. "No, that's not what I meant." She sighed. "Look, do you have any more tricks or can I just kill you now?"
"But I don't have any trix? Those are for kids." Leni said, placing a finger on her chin as she cocked her head sideways.
Fasha glared pure murder towards her. "I'm going to enjoy killing you far more than I should."
As Fasha rushed forward, Leni tore off her grey overalls and tossed them towards Fasha, causing her to stop. Then Leni reached into her bag and pulled out a white sports bra, light green biker shorts, and a pair of boxing gloves. She quickly threw them on and then punched her fists together, activating her powers.
"Okay, Fasha, it's Clobberin' Time!" Leni shouted as she rushed in to close the distance between them.
Fasha was surprised by Leni's quick change of clothes and she knew now that each time Leni changed, her abilities would too. The Alien warrior was cautious but still confident in her superior abilities. She aimed a punch for Leni's face but to her surprise, Leni seemingly vanished from her sight. Then a split second later, a blow was buried into her stomach, cracking her body armor and knocking the wind out of her. Fasha fell to her knees as she struggled to regain her breath.
As Leni was about to press her advantage, several shots were fired at her and Leni barely managed to jump back. A couple of the shots had hit her shoulder and her left knee but thankfully they were grazing shots. She rushed towards the nearest droids and delivered several quick jabs, breaking a few of them and sending them flying into those behind them.
And while Leni was busy fighting the seemingly endless wave of enemies, Fasha recovered. She growled as she stood back up. She was done with this bullshit. She focused all of her power and began to channel it throughout her body. She had been holding back the whole time because she had wanted some fun. But now playtime was over and she would not allow anyone to damage her pride any longer. With a ferocious shout, she let her power explode outward and create a new crater in the road. When she was done, she located Leni and then charged.
Leni had just punched a battle droid into a nearby tank when she suddenly felt a rush of air beside her. Leni barely blinked before she felt a sudden burst of pain erupt from the side of her head. Her head snapped to the side and she was sent flying into the second floor of a nearby building. She smashed through the large window and continued through five more walls before she hit the sixth one and then collapsed onto the floor.
Leni gasped for air as she began to cough while lying on the floor. Fasha had hit her way harder than before and Leni was starting to regret dressing as Boxer Leni. This form allowed her to maximize her attack power and speed but it sacrificed defense in order to do so. Ace had called it being a "glass cannon" and had warned her to be careful while using it.
She spat out some blood in her mouth and looked up. Fasha was hovering just outside of the window with her arms crossed. She was looking down on Leni with a smug expression on her face.
"You liked that, tits?" Fasha asked her.
Leni felt angry. "I'm gonna make you regret that." She spat.
Leni leaped to her feet and sped towards Fasha. The Alien woman flew backwards, thinking that Leni wouldn't be able to catch her in midair but to her surprise, Leni kicked up a desk that was lying on the ground and punched it like a missile towards her. The woman barely managed to dodge the flying projectile before she looked back at Leni. And then Fasha cursed.
Leni had leaped out of the broken window and was now inches from her with her right arm cocked back. Unable to dodge at such close proximity, Fasha turned her body to the side so that Leni would strike her shoulder inside of her head. The blow sent the Saiyan spiraling towards the ground like a comet and she crashed with a vengeance.
Leni landed a few dozen yards away and quickly began tearing the droids apart. They began to fire at her while Fasha was down and Leni couldn't let up even for a second. If it was just them alone then maybe she could win but like this? Leni knew that her chances were slim. She only hoped that help would arrive soon!
