Spells and Louds
Chapter 5: A Grand Family Visit
The night is brisk around FutureTech HQ, with the Sadie Hawkins dance over Neil is now at FutureTech "Everybody in that dance knows who they are now, I can't have them endangered like that, this is my family!" says Neil in distress
"Okay let's just calm down now buddy, sadness and pain does not look good on you" says martin handing him a mug of hot cocoa
Neil takes the mug and drinks it "What are we gonna do McKenzie?!" asks Neil "I don't wanna endanger my family like this, I know they've been with us for a few months, but it feels like-""For a long time?" Martin interrupts
Then Martin walks towards a brief case and opens it, he turns around back to Neil with a robotic dragonfly on his hand "This is the sunburst drone" says Martin stroking the robot "Reverse engineered from the insecticons that were inside the decepticons in the lab" says Martin
"Through this we can track down targets undetected and neutralize threats that try to threaten the world, and I mean any threats" McKenzie explains as the robot flies around him
"What are its abilities?" asks Neil "Stealthy or how I could say this can change color to match the environment, almost indestructible like Lincoln's Arct bike, flies as fast as a drag racer, can self-destruct within a two block radius, still working on that one, can hack into any vehicle and damage anything within it, portable too and what else am I missing?" martin walks around trying to remember
"Oh right!" martin turns to Neil smirking "Mind wipe!" Neil gets up from his chair "What?" asks Neil "You heard me, these little guys can mind wipe they're targets, we've done some test runs and they work!" says Martin as the drone lands on his head
"How does it work?" asks Neil "We reprogram the mind wipe on what time and how long is the memory we have to erase" says Martin "Which means-""You can erase the memory of my kids identities!" says Neil "This is perfect!" says Neil looking at the drone "When can we deploy them?" asks Neil, martin looks to him with a serious look "Immediately!"
Neil arrives home and tells his family what he has planned "You want everyone from that party to forget about us being heroes?" asks Neil "Yes" Neil responds "But why dad?" asks Leni, Lincoln, Luna and sunset realize what he meant
"So the family won't be in danger!" says Lincoln "He's got a point dudes!" Luna adds "It Is the right thing to do!" Sunset mentions "And the last thing we want is more attention from fans!" Lincoln says making the others realize there will be no privacy if people know who they are "Okay dad, do it!" they all say
Neil grabs his phone and puts it on speaker "McKenzie, deploy the burst drones!" says Neil "It's Sunburst Drones!" Martin responds "Whatever man, just deploy them!" Neil retaliates, at FutureTech Martin looks to victor and his workers, they open all the briefcases and unleash a swarm of drones that fly off to each house of the people who saw them
The plan is a complete success, every kid and adult during the Sadie Hawkins dance attack doesn't remember who the heroes secret identities, even Clyde doesn't remember, they were all given a different memory, Lincoln even told Jordan who was cool with it because she does not want more attention, even at the mall
Even Chandler's memory was wiped, but not for long, since the incident Principal Hugging told Mr. and Mrs. McCann, the results Chandler was suspended from school for three more weeks and grounded for one full month with no allowance for a year, but that only gives him enough time to speak with his new friend and his memory came back as well
At Spellman Estate Susnet is looking at the book she uses to speak to Twilight "Hey Sunset!" says Neil entering the room "You didn't close your door" as Neil sits on the bed next to her and sees the book "Is that from Equestria?" asks Neil "Yeah" says Sunset looking sad "You miss them don't you?" says Neil while putting his hand on her shoulder
"I don't know any more dad, the only one I truly miss is Twilight" says Sunset, Neil knows how much it means to her about Equestria, her old home and moving on would be a big step for her, then he gets an idea "How about you write to her, one last time" says Neil as sunset looks to him "The past is the past and now you have a new future, I'm pretty sure twilight would understand" says Neil, he then leaves the room
Sunset grabs a pen and opens the book, she starts writing down what's been happening to twilight, the book acts as a message between sunset and twilight, for she has the same book as well, after writing it all down, sunset feels so much better she decides to put the book in a box in her closet and get some sleep, inside the box the book starts to glow and vibrate with sunset not knowing
A week has passed since the Attack on the Sadie Hawkins dance and everything in Royal Woods is peaceful again, except for the multiple aircraft patrolling the skies and the ground forces as well, no people this is not an emergency security measure, it's to escort someone important from the escort in which martin is at right now
Martin looks around for a blond haired woman who might be wearing an archeologists outfit or something else "Where is she?" asks Martin with some body guards with him, then he sees her coming down the escalator, martin approaches the woman "Diana Spellman, we've been waiting for you" says McKenzie "Mr. McKenzie? What are you doing here?" asks Diana "You're son sent me, come on" says Martin as the body guards take her bags to the car
At Spellman estate all the kids are getting ready to see they're grandma for the first time "This is so cool dudes!" says Luna "Grandma's coming and we finally get to see her" says Leni feeling excited "And she's gonna be staying here for one week!" Susnet adds "Poo-poo!" Lily giggles, Lincoln comes down the stairs wearing his usual clothes along with Abe "Where's dad?" asks Lincoln
They then see they're dad coming down the stairs from his office "Uncle Leon and Sergei are coming guys!" says Neil "what?!" they all ask "Awesome!" "Even better!" "This is gonna be so cool!" "I've never got a chance to meet them!" says the kids, the last one being Sunset "I have never seen them either, except in the pictures by the fireplace mantle" says Abe
"Alright kids, you're all cleaned up, looking good, your uncle's are coming and we are ready for this heck of a visit!" says Gwen coming down the stairs from her bedroom, then they hear what sounds like engine humming "What is that sound?" asks Abe, Neil realizes what it was and races outside with the family following
They all look up and see a giant airship, four engines attached, two engines pointing forward and the other two pointing upward, the cockpit area was at the bottom and behind it was a large rack of bombs, a scary looking face is painted on the airship as well as a hammer and sickle logo on either side "Kirov Airship!" says Neil
Then multiple steel ropes drop and attach themselves to the house's roof, the rope starts moving as two figures zip line down, they land on the roof and jump off while attached to bungee cords and they land in front of the family "Hey guys" says Leon "Greetings" says Sergei "Uncle Sergei and Leon!" the three kids and Lily run towards them and hug them
Sunset approaches them "Hey there uncle's" says Sunset "You must be the new niece" says Sergei "Love the hair kiddo" says Leon "Thanks, a lot of people think its dyed, but its not" says Susnet twirling the end of her hair "We know kid, your dad told us where you came from" says Sergei "And we know all about the hero thing" Leon adds "And we couldn't be more proud" says Sergei smirking at them "Now let's get ready for mom!" Leon cheers "That's what I'm talking about! Family love!" says Neil as the brother's triple fist bump
Then multiple vehicles arrive escorting a black Camaro "This is it guys!" says Neil, Gwen approaches him and tries to calm him down "Easy there hot shot!" says Gwen "Sorry I just ….. Yes! I missed mom!" says Neil, Leni hands Gwen Lily as they all get ready, the car doors open martin from the driver's seat and coming out from the passenger's seat was Diana Spellman
Diana is 34 years old (since she found Neil since he was 11) is not as tall as her three adopted sons, has long blonde hair that reaches her back, wearing a white buttoned long sleeve shirt with a pink ascot, brown jeans and with white socks and brown heels, martin opens the back bring out her luggage "Neil! Leon! Sergei! Oh my boys!" says Diana
"Mom/mother" says Leon and Sergei as they approach Diana and hug her "Oh look at you guys! So big!" says Diana as she hugs her two sons "We'll get your stuff mom" says Leon and Sergei, the Diana turns to see her original son, who slowly approaches her, they both stand in front of each other "Mom" says Neil "Son" says Diana
Then Neil hugs her tightly as Diana hugs him, then Neil starts crying getting everyone's attention "I missed you mom!" says Neil who's in tears "Neil, its only been two years and the last time we saw each other was at your wedding" says Diana rubbing her sons back "I know but it felt like a hundred years to me!" says Neil Whos still crying "this is awkward" says Martin as he drives off
Soon they break the hug "It's good to see you son" says Diana as she wipes a tear from Neil's face "It's good to see you too mom" says Neil smiling, then Neil turns to his family "Mom, these are-""My grandkids!" says Diana with joy as the kids run towards her "Grandma!" they all say hugging her "Oh my goodness, look at you guys" says Diana hugging her grandchildren
They break the hug so she can look at them "You must be Leni!" says Diana "That's me, I used to be dumb, but now I'm not and you make that ascot look super good on you" says Leni "Why thank you sweetie" says Diana "And you must be Luna, the rocker one" says Diana "It's good to see you grandma Diana" Luna says jokingly "Oh Luna, you can just call me grandma and I am so proud of you for having you brothers back, you really are a true guardian to him" says Diana as Luna hugs her
Then she turns to "Lincoln I'm so sorry for what happened to your family" says Diana with sincerity "It's okay grandma, I forgive some of my ex-sisters, but I'm glad to have this new life and family with the sisters I can trust" says Lincoln "Oh such a devoted young man" says Diana "And then there's Susnet Shimmer" says Diana "I never had a grandma before, its really nice to meet you" says Sunset "It's nice to meet you too, Neil told me of where you came from and what happened, I'm so sorry dear" says Diana "It's okay, that was the past and I like this new life" says Sunset
"And you must be Abe! The family companion" says Diana "Indeed, and it is good to see the mother of my Lincoln's father" says Abe "Whoa, Neil was right about the telepathy thing" says Diana rubbing Abe's fur "Hey there Harv!" says Diana to the house "Good day to you Mrs. Spellman" says Harv :Please, call me Diana" says Diana to the house "As you wish" Harv complies
Then Gwen approaches Diana "Gwen" says Diana "Hey Diana, it's been like since the wedding since we've last seen each other" says Gwen "And this little lady is Lily, one of Lincoln's sister's" says Gwen "Oh my goodness! Hello there Lily! I'm your grandma" says Diana booping Lily's nose, the infant giggles and reaches out to her
Gwen hands Diana lily "Hello Lily" says Diana tickling her tummy, the baby starts laughing until "Gwanwa" says Lily, shocking them all "Did" "She" Just" Call" You" then to Neil "Grandma?" they all look in shock even Diana "Oh my, Lily! You just called me Grandma!" says Diana hugging her baby grand daughter "This is going better than we thought" says Leon
Later they bring her luggage into the basement "We don't have a guest room because we turned it into sunset's room" says Neil as he guides his mom into the basement "Oh it's no problem dear, you're kids need their space" says Diana "That's why I converted one of the spare rooms down here into a bedroom" says Neil as he shows her the room, the room is painted white and has a large blue bed with blankets, white sheets, mattress and pillows, there's a table next to it as well as a studying table and a bathroom and closet
"Oh my, you really went all out for me huh?" Diana says teasingly "I even got you a studying table, in case you wanna look over your Archeological research, since you are staying here for one week" says Neil "Oh sweetie, you didn't have to, I'm here to spend time with my new grandkids and you of course" says Diana "But it was a lovely gesture for bringing this here" Diana then hugs Neil "It was no problem mom" says Neil who hugs her back
"And since there's no more rooms here, me and Sergei will be in the airship" says Leon "You guys sure about that?" asked Neil "It's fine brother, the airship has a bunk bed and its own restroom" says Sergei "The Russian science and technology ministry modified Kirov restrooms to turn waste into fuel" Leon adds, not making it sound comfortable to Neil "Well whatever works I guess, now come on let's eat lunch" says Neil as they all head upstairs
The days go by as they spend much time with Diana, Diane shares her stories of all her archeological finds in Egypt, and no there were no mummies, Sunset tells her stories of her adventures and what she's done in the past, Leni tells her about the amazing fashion she makes, Luna shows Diana how good she is with instruments even ones from Egypt, Lincoln introduces Diana to Jordan, in which Diana knows her dad and mom, Diana even spends time with Lily
Even the uncle's get to spend time with their Niece's and nephew, Sergei brought Leni some fine fabrics from China, Leon brought Lincoln an old toy model of a tiger tank, Sergei also brought Luna some Chinese instruments that she's never tried before, for Sunset Leon brought her some coloring materials since she's a good artist and Sergei and Leon brought Lily a plush Siberian Tiger and German Shepard, the Spellman's were spending a grand time together
Diana heads into the backyard for some fresh air, she sees Neil standing outside looking at the sky, Diana stands next to him "You miss the old days don't you?" asks Diana "Yeah, back when you and dad were a couple" says Neil "I know it was a difficult time for you, even for me, but we have to let go of it" says Diana putting her hand on his shoulder "Yeah, I've been doing that a lot lately, still wish Sabrina was here" says Neil "She has her own thing going on, and she's been failing her grades lately and trying to get back to her studies" says Diana as Neil chuckles a bit
The following day at FutureTech Martin spots an unknown anomaly on the global scanners, a large object headed for America and its moving, slowly "What the hell?!" says Martin, he then reaches for his communicator "I'm gonna need an aerial recon on these coordinates" says Martin, four Apollo fighters fly towards the target and are shocked to see a giant floating Citadel "Sir I don't know what I'm looking at" says the pilot
At the Loud house all of them are doing what they usually do (sort of) until the doorbell rings "I'll get it" says Lucy, the little Goth girl opens the door and her jaw drops just as she sees who or what it is "Excuse me little one, but I think I'm lost and the papers around here tell me of this Loud family, so I thought maybe you could tell me where I am" says the chilling voice "Lucy who's at the-" Lori stops and sees what Lucy was looking at "What? Who?" as Lori backs away, then the rest of the family shows up and looks in shock "Are you going to let me in? It's rude to keep a guest waiting" says the mysterious being
Meanwhile the Spellman's are at Ketchum Park enjoying themselves, Lincoln wanted to invite Jordan but she knew this was a family thing so she kindly declined "This is the life huh Linc?" asks Neil whose sitting next to his son on a hill "Yeah, it kind of is" says Lincoln Whos looking at everyone having fun, Leon, Sergei, Abe and Sunset playing Frisbee, Luna singing a tune with her acoustic, Leni, Gwen, Diana and Lily on the picnic blanket
Then Lincoln gets a text message "It's from Lucy" says Lincoln "What?" asks Neil "She says come to the loud house someone or something is here!" Lincoln reads the text, he then turns to his dad, even though their spending quality family time, this was important too, Neil and Lincoln gather the family and tell them whats happened
Though some of them don't want to go back to the loud house (Luna and Leni) they trust Lucy and she needs help, they soon arrive at the loud house, some of them just look at it, then they approach the house, then Abe stops and growls "Abe? What's wrong?" asks Lincoln "There's something in there! And I don't like it!" says Abe, they all look to Neil as they get ready to enter the house
Neil opens the door and the Spellman's are shocked at what they see, A large skeleton like creature witting on the couch drinking tea, it has a long flower petal like skirt and is hovering, a skeleton top area, gold plated shoulders skeleton arms and hands, long gold bracelets, its skull has four horns and its breathing out an icy breath, it has more gold plates and armor behind it and around its neck, oh and Lucy is sitting next to it
The skeleton thing turns to them "Greetings Spellman's" says the creature, the Spellman's look at it in confusion, but Neil and Lincoln are the ones most shocked "You…. Are" Lincoln and Neil stutter "So you two know me don't you" it replies to them, both family's look at Neil and Lincoln "Tell me then, who am I?" The creature says
Neil and Lincoln start to talk and as they talk they start to feel happy "ArchLich of Naxxramas!" "Esteemed LichLord of the Plaguelands!" "Commander of the Dread Necropolis!" "Master and Founder of the Cult of the Damned!" "Creator of the Abomination!" "Summoner of Archimonde the Defiler!" "The Betrayer of Humanity!" "Hearthstone Enthusiast!" "Majordomo to the Lich King!" "KEL'THUZAD!" Lincoln and Neil finish and try to catch their breath "That was a mouthful!" says Neil
"Thank you Neil, great intro!" says K.T, the Spellman's look at Kel'Thuzad "So why are you here?" asked Luna "Oh my child, I wish I knew as well" Kel'Thuzad then explains to them "My floating Citadel, Naxxramas was just floating around as usual across Azeroth, then suddenly it got transported somewhere else, I awoke from my phylactery(king's urn) soon after but I was not in Naxxramas, I was outside of Royal Woods, so I entered and saw the papers and thought maybe these louds can tell me where I am"
Leon then realizes as well "That could mean your citadel is-""Here as well and probably looking for me" says K.T, the Spellman's get nervous "So what are your intentions, Lich?!" asks Neil ready for a fight, the ArchLich chuckles "I assure you my good man I am not here for a fight, nor do I want to stir up any trouble, I'd rather be here in this world than spend my time in a world where Windrunner is Warchief!" the ArchLich declares, it soon hit Neil and Lincoln that he was telling the truth
They soon leave the loud house with Kel'Thuzad "I had a wonderful time here, all the negative energy from you wretches" says K.T, not making the louds comfortable "And you Lucy, if you ever want a tour around my citadel, you can summon me with this" the Lich hands Lucy a diamond of summoning "but only if you're not busy, because it seems you still have an obligation to attend to" K.T says before following the Spellman's back to FutureTech
Soon they have come to an agreement with the LichLord who agrees not to harm anyone in that world, he's been given permission to roam around the planet and stay there if he cooperates and helps them with other worldly visitors, in which he accepts, because there is no way in hell he's going back to Azeroth, they eventually bring him to his Citadel and he takes off, though it's not comfortable having a deadly undead Lich roaming the planet, at least they have another ally
Soon it was time to say goodbye to Diana, the Spellman's are all at the airport "It was nice to spend time with you guys" says Diana "We're gonna miss you grandma" "Please visit soon!" "Stay cool Grandma" "Hope you find something incredible at Egypt" "Wye-Wye Gwanwa!" "Stay safe" "See you soon Diana" they all say
Neil, Leon and Sergei approach her "It was great seeing you three" says Diana "We're gonna miss you mom" Leon says "It was really nice to have you here" Sergei adds, then Neil hugs her "I hope we can spend more time again" says Neil as tears roll down his face "Me too son" says Diana as she also hugs him, then the whole family joins in for one final family group hug before she takes off
Meanwhile at the McCann residence, Chandler is talking with his new friend "So if I help you bring you're army here, you'll make me powerful enough to beat those Spellman's?" asks Chandler "Indeed my child, through me you will gain limitless power beyond anything you can imagine" says the dark voice "Awesome, I can't wait to crush those people and everyone else who's been in my way!" says Chandler all excited
"But first you need associates" says the dark voice "What! But Why?!" asks Chandler "To share this power to them, once you do this they will serve you and call you master!" the dark voice replies "Ooooh! Henchman! I like that idea!" says Chandler "By the way, I never got to know you're name" says Chandler "I go by many names, Darkness, Evil, Demonic power! But you can call me Sargeras!"
To be continued….
