Spells and Louds
Chapter 10: The realms and beyond
The following day after the Legion's attempted invasion to earth, everything is being repaired thanks to the donations made by both FutureTech and the Spellman's, lending their powers to help with all the damages, even though they're heroes they still wanted to treated equally as any normal civilian, but if trouble does come they will be ready to get the job done
The next day was school, time to face everyone who knows who they are, as Lincoln parks his vulture "See you after school Abe!" says Lincoln as his Pokémon jumps onto the school roof, soon he enters the school and is greeted immediately by Jordan's hug "Thought you wouldn't make it" says Jordan, Lincoln laughs then kisses his girlfriend "You could've just went inside before me you know" says Lincoln "Yeah I know, I just don't think I can handle the attention without you, hero" says Jordan "You're a hero too my love" says Lincoln
The two walk through the halls and see kids waving at them "Well at least we're not being overwhelmed" says Lincoln "Lincoln!" Clyde tackles him to the ground "Why didn't you tell me you were a superhero?" says Clyde hysterically "You could've gotten hurt or worse!" as Clyde continues "I couldn't live with myself if something happened to you!" then Stella and Rusty Clyde off of Lincoln
"Okay man, that's enough! Give him some space" says Rusty "Yeah dude, calm down!" Stella adds "How can I calm down! First the louds family falls apart, then Lincoln has a new life with new things I'm not used to and now he's a superhero and he could've gotten himself killed!" Clyde starts sweating and yelling, in which gets everyone's attention
Then Principal Huggins shows up "Alright break it up! What seems to be the problem here?" asks Huggins "just clyde acting up, as usual" says Jordan, Huggins looks to Clyde and sighs "I'll call his father's" says Huggins as he heads back to his office "alright Clyde, let's go" says Zach as he and Liam drag him to the principal's office "see you in class guys" says Liam, Soon Lincoln, Jordan, Stella, Rusty, Mollie, Joy, Cookie, Sadie and Kat head off to first period
At the high school Leni, sunset and Luna arrive, they head to the school until Luna is ambushed from behind by someone hugging her, Luna eventually overpowers the person and hugs her assailant "There's my Frost babe!" says Sam, the y then break the hug "Hey Sammy, careful how you handle me, you could catch frost bite!" says Luna "Ooooh! Me-Ouch!" says Sam, the two 15 year olds laugh, then they stop realizing they just said that out loud
Then vanzilla shows up with Lori and Luan "Hey guys!" says Lori "Morning Lori" the three Spellman sisters greet, but not to Luan who just walks into the school, they all eventually head inside where they part ways onto their specific lockers, as Leni opens her locker she sees multiple love letters "Are you kidding me!" says Leni "It's only been 48 hours and they're stuffing my locker with love notes!" Leni grabs the pile and throws it all into the garbage bin
"You're not the only one!" says Lori as she opens her locker with a smaller pile of love letters "This is literally crazy!" says Lori, then Carol, Dana, Becky, Mandee, Jackie, Whitney and Teri show up "Love letters too?" asks Dana, Lori and Leni sigh "You guys as well?" they ask, Dana and Becky nod in response "That's it I'm headed straight to the principal's office to get this straightened out!" says Lori "Count us in!" the rest agree
On their way they run into sunset looking a little pissed off "Love letters?" they ask "Worse! Packages! And I do not wanna know whats in them!" says Sunset "I threw into the dumpster!" says Sunset "Headed to the principal's office?" asks Susnet, they all nod "Good, let's go!" they all head to the office, luckily things we're straightened out and sunburst drones were stealthily placed above the lockers, the culprits were caught and were given a month's detention and extra school work
After school Lori returns to the loud house where she proceeds to help out with multiple chores, she was living up to the name of big sister, until her father appears "Lori, this was in the mail for you" says Lynn Sr. "Ugh! I swear if it's a love letter I'm calling the cops!" says Lori, but the letter doesn't say anything about a secret admirer, it was an admission letter
Lori opens it "Dear Lori Loud, we here at George W. Liberty University would like to have you as a student, we train in advanced courses and yes, we have golf as well, all tuition fees will be paid by FutureTech, all we need from you is your agreement into our grand establishment here at Washington DC, from the head administrator and CEO of FutureTech, Martin McKenzie" Lori and her family are shocked
Lisa was the most stunned "You ….. You were accepted to the most prestigious university of Washington!" says Lisa, Lori smiles at the note, she looks at her parents who nod "It might not be fairway, but it'll have to do!" says Lori as the rest of the sisters cheer, meanwhile Leni has just entered Reiningers and heads to the register "Hey Leni" says Fiona "Hey there Fiona!" Leni replies "Having trouble with guys flirting with you?" asks Fiona
"You have no idea!" says Leni "Well you are pretty much are the hottest and most beautiful member of the team" says Fiona "yeah, I know, but I just did this to help people! Especially my family! I swear if one more guy flirts with I am totes feeding him to my plants!" says Leni as a teenage boy decides to walk away while holding a note
At Spellman Estate Lincoln arrives with Jordan and Abe on the vulture, they park and head inside where they're greeted by Neil and Gwen on the couch talking to the McBride's "Oh boy!" the two kids and Abe say in annoyance "Hey there sport, Your friend came here to talk to me about a problem with you" says Neil in confusion, Lincoln and Jordan sit next to Neil and Gwen, while Abe heads upstairs to check on Lily
"I don't have any problem dad" says Lincoln "Yes you do!" says Clyde, the Spellman's and Jordan look at him with shock and confusion "It's just that, Lincoln is taking up a roll of being a superhero, and we think it's not healthy!" says Howard "It's true =, Clyde has known Lincoln for as long as they've met, and we know that their friendship is important" Harold adds
The Spellman's and Jordan just look at them in annoyance "You're kidding right?!" says Neil "This was Lincoln's choice, and we know it's dangerous, but we do whatever we can to support him" says Gwen "This is absolutely dumb" Jordan adds "But he's just a boy!" says Howard in worry "An eleven year old boy, whose growing up and learned the harsh treacheries of reality, or do you wanna go back to the bad luck incident?!" says Neil
"I just want my best friend back!" says Clyde "Clyde just stop! Seriously this is getting us nowhere! And I told you that I have to change for the better, my sisters are already embracing it as well, if you can't handle this kind of change, then I guess you'll just fall behind and get pampered like a precious piece of fine china!" says Lincoln in anger "Well at least the china will be safe from harm!" Clyde retaliates
"Everything was going so well! You and me being Ace Savvy and One-Eyed Jack, watching AAARGH! Together, playing in the arcade and Clincoln Mcloud!" says Clyde "Clincoln Mcwhat?!" asks Neil "Okay first I'm over ace savvy, second I'm more interested in REAL professional ghost hunters who don't use ridiculous ghost hunting gear, third arcades are still cool to me, but online gaming is the next big thing" says Lincoln
"And finally ….. Clincoln Mcloud sounds like a couple's name" says Lincoln "What's wrong with that name?" asks Harold "Look I respect your dad's relationship, like how I accept Luna's relationship with her Girlfriend Sam, but I am not picking that shipping name on me, because it sounds a little weird now" says Lincoln "But ….. But …. I thought you liked it?" asks Clyde with tears coming down his glasses
"Well to be honest" Lincoln holds Jordan's hand "I'm more of a Jordacoln now!" says Lincoln, making Jordan blush, Clyde looks back and forth between the two "No, no, no!" says Clyde as he starts crying "Look what you did to our precious little angel!" says Harold as both him and Howard try to comfort Clyde
"Yeah, an angel whose flying to close to the sun" says Neil "And the wings are coming off" Gwen adds "Just like Icarus!" they both say, Lincoln approaches Clyde "Look buddy, I'm sorry if you can't handle this kind of change, but if it has to be this way then-""No! Please! You can't break our friendship! You can't!" says Clyde whose holding onto Lincoln's feet
Lincoln pries him off "I said we can be just friends, but best friends is the one thing we can't be right now" says Lincoln, Clyde gets back up and wipes away his tears "We're still friends?" asks Clyde "Yes, but I think the best friend thing is already taken, by someone who knows me better" says Lincoln, Neil understands who he's talking about "Oh you mean Abe!" says Neil
Soon Clyde accepts Lincoln's apology and heads home with his dad's, Soon Sunset and Leni return home from the mall, Sunset has been having it hard with some teenage boys trying to talk to her, but with the help from Leni, well "And in other news seven male teenagers were found dangling by their underwear on a street lamp by vines, police confirm that they were trying to flirt or in other terms harass local hero Daydream Shimmer aka Sunset Shimmer" Katherine says on the TV
At Ketchum Park Luna and Sam are under a tree strumming their acoustic guitars while leaning their heads against each other "This is the life ey Sammy" says Luna "Yeah Lunes, just you, me and this relaxing tune" Sam replies, they both remain in the silent moment, until Luna's phone goes off and it turns out it was martin, Luna groans and picks it up "What the bloody hell do you want?" asks Luna
Later Neil, Leon, Sergei, Gwen (holding Lily), Lincoln, Jordan, Luna, Leni, Sunset, Abe, Dana, Becky, Lori and Sam report to FutureTech, Neil's Mercedes arrives with Gwen and Lily, Lincoln's vulture pulls up with Jordan and Abe, Lori arrives in the new vanzilla along with Dana and Becky, a Dropship comes down with Leon and Sergei and Luna arrives on an Ice road with Sam
"Why is Sam here?" asks Neil "Hey if something happens to my babe, I get involved too, I am not gonna sit this one out!" says Sam, Neil smiles "Loyalty! Respect!" says Neil as he fist bumps with Sam, They all enter FutureTech and head to the warehouse, where it seems to be abandoned, as in no employees, just martin and victor "Good, you made it!" says victor "What's this all about you two?!" asks Neil "We didn't wanna talk to you, he does!" says victor
Coming out of the shadows was the Guardian Gyro, he stands at six-foot two, his outfit consists of that from a guardian from Warcraft only with black fingerless gloves and a silver and gold belt, he has a short brown and white beard and mustache, since he's wearing a cloak underneath he has short brown hair that reaches to his neck line and he's speaking in a Scottish accent
"Gyro!" says Neil "surprised to see me!" says Gyro "What are you doing here and what do you want?" asks Lincoln "First let me explain who I am, I am Gyro McKenzie, Guardian of the Multiverse" says Gyro, shocking them "Wait a minute! Did you just say McKenzie?!" asks Lori "Yes! I am a McKenzie!" says Gyro, martin approaches him
"What?!" says martin "Years ago, when Rome was trying to conquer Brittania, I was the chosen druid of the clan of Boudica, I started making an incantation that could help us drive the Romans out of the country, but instead I accidently made a portal, that teleported me to Azeroth, where I was trained by the most powerful Archmages there, and eventually I was given the title, guardian"
"But my journey did not end there, after the death of the former guardian Medivh, there was no need for guardians anymore, so I fled from Azeroth and traveled across the multiverse and beyond, battling powerful beings, defeating the most vile evil and saving those who need help the most, I eventually returned to Azeroth to help the alliance and the horde to pushing out the burning legion back to their homeworld, Argus"
"There I fought alongside Illidan, prophet Velen and legendary warrior torallion, I returned to my journey afterwards, then I decided to untie the races from the multiverse to form the Immortal council, and I stand as their most ardent defender and leader, I came back to my original homeworld, but it turns out I was in the new modern era, though I have seen more futuristic worlds than this"
"so I scoured the lands searching for any signs of true honor and courage, that could be a perfect representative for this world to the council, then I saw the Bad Luck incident" says Gyro, making everyone gasp "I followed you throughout the entire journey, the incident with Luna Frost was something I did not foresee, but someone else came to me and told me that this was necessary" says Gyro
"Who came to you?" asked Leon "An old friend from the Koprulu sector, one who was called deceiver, but we know him as the dark prelate" says Gyro, Lincoln and Neil know who he's talking about "Zeratul!" they both say "Correct, he came to me in a dream and told me of a unified multiverse that would stand against all forms of evil and bring peace to all things living" the Guardian explains
"So we're destined for something greater?" asks Sergei, the guardian looks to them "Even greater!" says Gyro, then he uses his powers to create a holographic image of the multiverse web "Whoa!" "Oh my Gosh!" "This is incredible!" "Unbelievable!" "Whoa dude!" "Beautiful!" "Outstanding!" "This is just … Wow!" they all say in awe
Gyro walks towards the middle and points to the center "That is where the council is located, in a place where time and space meet, we call it the Nexus!" says Gyro "Everything else is connected into a web of possibilities, every world, every realm, every dimension, linked to the center of all things!" says Gyro, martin walks towards him "If you're a McKenzie from the past, that would make you my-""Very old grandfather!" says Gyro as he shakes martins hand
Sunset walks around looking at the web, but then she sees one dimension that looks familiar, she slowly approaches it, Gyro notices this and stands next to her "I see you spotted Equestria!" says Gyro "My old home" says Sunset, everyone else takes notice of this "Do you intend of returning?" asks Gyro "No, I already have a life here, I'm not giving it up" says Sunset, Neil and Gwen stand next to sunset and smile
Martin and Victor look at all of the realms "Is this the reason why the Chronosphere kept acting up?" asked martin "In retrospect, yes, but I figured out why it keeps doing that" says Gyro, they all look to the guardian "It needs balance!" says Gyro, martin and victor look at him confused "Balanced? What do you mean?" asked martin "What I mean is that the chronosphere needs a great gate!" the guardian turns around to see their shocked faces "What?!"
"Great Gate?!" "You mean the one that brought all those scary demons here?!" "Are you literally for real?!" "What the bloody hell dude?!" "Are you insane?!" they all start arguing at him, seeing them acting all chaotic, the guardian slams his staff to the ground making a large thunderous sound, making them quiet "Good, this Great gate will be different" says Gyro "In what way?" asks Dana
"As you all remember, when chandler made that gate, he used fel magic, the power of the burning legion, the great gate we need is powered by arcane, the same arcane I wield" says Gyro "So your saying this is a good guy great gate?!" asks Leon "I wouldn't call it that, but yeah" Gyro replies. They all look at each other with doubt "It's the only way to make sure no other worldly being will pop out of nowhere and wreak havoc!" says Gyro
They all look at one another and then to Neil, Neil looks at Gyro "Okay then guardian, let's do it" says Neil, Gyro smiles "We'll need to put it in a place where it has enough space to be built, then me and my protégé will do the rest" says Gyro as they follow him out of the warehouse, Gwen suddenly gets an idea "How about near our estate?" says Gwen, they all stop and look at her "On the other side of the road, from across our house, there's a large open field as big as our property, we can build it there!" says Gwen
"That's not a bad idea hon!" says Neil "And we can watch over it, in case of any problems" says Neil "Good, now we have a plan, let's get to it!" says Gyro, Neil wanted to talk to him about the power he gave him on that day they all fought the legion, but now wasn't the time to ask him, they had bigger priorities to deal with
Three days have passed and it was finally finished, they're all standing in front of the newly built Great Gate "It looks exactly like the one chandler built!" says Neil in a slightly angered tone "All great gates look like this, it's the energy of the gate that matters" says Gyro, then someone teleports near them "Sorry I'm late master!" says the white haired sorceress "Not late at all, oh this is my protégé, Hope Charmcaster!" Gyro introduces to them
They all see the 21 year old woman, has white long hair that has a few purple streaks that reaches her waist and is tied into a ponytail, she's wearing a black full body suit that reaches her hands but looks like fingerless gloves, she's wearing what looks like a long sleeved purple outfit that looks like that of a true sorceress, it has some black lines that curl up onto her chest and heart symbols on her shoulders and waist with a pink pendant above her chest, she has purple eyes with some black symbols beneath and black lipstick, she's also carrying a staff, only it has a dragon symbol on it
"Whoa" "You're outfit looks totes good on you!" "Dig the color scheme dude!" "Nice pendant" "You have white hair like me!" they all say "Thank you" says Charmcaster "People with white hair are cooler" says Charmcaster "Dang right!" Lincoln replies as he high fives the sorceress "Looks like you two are already friends!" says Gwen
"Alright Hope, You ready?" Gyro asks, Charmcaster's hands glow pink "Ready!" they both start reciting the incantation "Shao rus, Mirao, Izaru, Shiraz, Shao rus, Erizh shuzar, feleras, ishuzar! Immortal!" they both recite, then the portal ignite in blue fire and the portal is forged "Done!" says Gyro "Your services here are complete my apprentice" says Gyro to Charmcaster "Thank you master, I shall return to Karazhan" says Charmcaster
She turns to see the heroes "I'll see you guys soon" say charmcaster before she teleports away, they all look at the gate "So we can use this?" asks victor "Only if I'm around, you're all not ready yet, I'll inform you when you're all ready, in the meantime have fun, spend some time together, try not to worry of the gate, we'll meet again, soon" says Gyro as he turns into a raven and flies into the gate, the gate then stops glowing
"So it turns on when he's around?" asks Leon "I don't know man" says Neil, Lincoln approaches Neil "This is just the beginning for us, all of us!" says Lincoln "No matter what happens, we'll be ready" Luna adds "We'll face whatever comes our way" says Leni "Together, as a family!" Sunset adds "All the way!" Gwen says while holding Lily "Till the end of time!" Abe adds, the family just look on to the empty portal
