Spells and Louds
Chapter 43: Two sons and a Dad
(Royal Woods forest)
Sitting in the middle of a lake is a small boat and the ones in the boat are Neil and his two adopted sons, Lincoln and Timmy (temporarily) and they're fishing, nothing good could come from this
"This is what I call father and sons bonding moment" said Neil "I don't know if that kinda thing exists" said Lincoln "Me too" replied Timmy
"That's because you two have never had a brother" said Neil "Actually I have, his name is Tommy and he wasn't the brother I was expecting" replied Timmy
"Really? How bad was he?" asked Lincoln "He wasn't bad, in fact he was so nice and good that I couldn't even spend time playing video games or having fun with him" replied Timmy
"Let me guess, he was the always helpful type?" asked Neil "Bingo dad" replied Timmy
"So, where is Tommy now?" asked Lincoln "In a country I wish existed, Tibequador" replied Timmy
"That sounds wrong on so many levels" said Lincoln, Neil just smiles "Look at us, already talking about what we all did in our past, now this is a bonding experience" said Neil
"By the way, where's your Pokémon Absol?" asked Timmy "He decided to stay on dry land and watch over us in case something bad happens" replied Lincoln
They all look to the small pier and spot Absol sleeping under a tree "He's fine there" said Lincoln
"And where's Poof?" asked Neil "Back at the house, he wanted to help around the place, I wanted some time without magic" replied Timmy
"Smart move little bro" said Lincoln, suddenly Neil's rod has a bite "I got something!" yelled Neil as he struggles with his catch
"Come on dad!" yelled Lincoln "You got this!" said Timmy "this is a big one!" yelled Neil
On the pier Absol wakes up and sees the commotion from afar "Now what is going on there?" asked Absol
As Neil tries to pull onto the fishing line, Lincoln and Timmy hold on to their dad and help him reel it in "this is harder than it looks!" said Neil
"Come on!" yelled Lincoln "How big is this fish?!" asked Timmy "Whoa! Hang on!" yelled Neil
They suddenly lose their grip on Neil and he falls into the water "Dad!" the two boys yell out, Absol stands on all fours and look around the water
They all wait in silence, not knowing what could come out, suddenly bubbles form above the water and Neil surfaces and latches onto the boat
"Dad! Are you okay?" asked Timmy "What happened down there?" asked Lincoln
"I tell you this, that fish is not an easy to win beast, I thi-" then Neil is dragged back into the water "Dad!" the two boys yell again
"Lincoln! What happened?" asked Absol from the pier "Dad got dragged into the water again" replied Lincoln
There still was no response from below the lake, then Lincoln remembered he still had his hero mask with him
So Lincoln activates the mask and sets it to x-ray scan mode, he looks into the water and sees everything was green like
As he pans at the water he spots a green humanoid figure and a large roundish creature attached "I think dad is battling the fish" said Lincoln
"We have to help him" said Timmy, they both nodded, Lincoln opens the box and reveals one of FutureTech's newest invention breathing pieces that attach to the mouth
"Abe stay on the surface in case something happens" said Lincoln to Absol, Absol nods in response, the two boys attach the breathing pieces and dive into the lake
Underwater it was a little murky, Lincoln and Timmy continue swimming, the they spot Neil, battling what looks like a large strange fish, the fish's jaws were clamped on Neil's leg
It looked like an angler fish and a puffer fish were molded into one "Die you stupid thing!" yelled Neil underwater, thanks to his Deathwing powers he can survive underwater
Timmy and Lincoln swim towards the fight, Lincoln and Timmy spotted some sharp stones
They grab the rocks and go behind the fish and stab it, the creature lets go of Neil's leg, the two boys hold onto the creature
Neil then pulls out his knife which was in his boot, he swims and sits on top of the panicking fish "From Hex heart I stabbeth thee!" yelled Neil as he plunges his knife onto the fish's head,
The creature panics even more and swims for the surface along with Neil, Timmy and Lincoln holding onto it
At the surface Absol looks around for any signs of their arrival, then he has a strange feeling and moves away from the pier
And in good timing too, the fish creature jumps out of the water with the three boys on it
In slow motion Lincoln and Timmy are panicking, the fish is also freaking out, but Neil is yelling "YEAH!"
Then everything returns to normal speed, the fish hits a tree branch causing Neil to fly off "AAAARGH!"
The fish then lands onto the ground dead and Lincoln and Timmy land on top of it "That. Was. Awesome!" said Timmy
"A little intense, but I've seen worse" replied Lincoln, then Absol approaches them "Are you two alright?" asked Absol
"We're fine, but where's dad?" asked Lincoln, they all look around for him, before they go look for him, they leave the fish under the tree with Absol guarding it
Lincoln and Timmy look around the forest to look for Neil "Dad!" the two boys call out, suddenly they hear a groaning sound and they follow where it leads
They spot Neil, face first onto a large rock "Dad! Are you okay?' asked Timmy "That depends, did we win?" asked Neil who was still stuck to the rock
Timmy and Lincoln were able to get Neil off of the rock "Now that was a ride!" said Neil "Come on dad, let's go see what you caught" said Lincoln
"You mean what 'we' caught, if it wasn't for you two I would've been fighting that thing way too long" said Neil "You have a point there dad" replied Timmy
They make it back to Absol and take a look at the weird looking water creature "I have no idea what I'm looking at" replied Neil
"Maybe we can get martin to have a look at it" said Lincoln "Sounds like a plan" replied Neil, they all head towards Neil's car, Neil puts the fish in the trailer he's pulling and then they make their way to FutureTech
(FutureTech HQ)
"What am I looking at?" asked Victor "that's what we're hoping you guys can tell us" replied Lincoln
Martin examines the fish and gets some DNA samples "Well, I don't know what species this thing belongs to, but it definitely is not a mutation, could be a new species" said Martin
"Also it says in the scanners, it is not edible" replied Victor "So you can't eat it, but you can still use it as a trophy" said Victor "The strangest trophy ever" said Martin
"Well, we should probably get this to a taxidermist and after that we can go for lunch" said Neil "Awesome" said Lincoln "I am a little hungry" said Timmy "Same here" said Absol
"Can we come?" asked Victor "Are you my kids?!" asked Neil "No" replied Martin
Neil, Lincoln, Timmy and Absol take their leave from FutureTech "We need to have a grown up guy's hang out next time" said Victor "Not gonna happen man" replied Martin
(Royal Woods Taxidermy)
Lincoln, Timmy and Absol are waiting by the car, Neil was inside talking to the person who owns the building if he can have the fish stuffed
Then Neil comes out of the store "The man said he'll have it done in three days, I even paid him extra so he can have it delivered to our house" said Neil
"Cool, so where are we gonna eat lunch?" asked Timmy, then Lincoln has an idea "A place that you might love little bro" replied Lincoln
(Gus' Games n' Grub)
Neil's car stops in front of it "An arcade!" said Timmy "I used to go here a lot, but now, not much" said Lincoln "they also serve pizza here" said Neil "Awesome!" replied Timmy
They all head inside "Alright, you guys can go play some games, I'll join you guys shortly I gotta takes a call" said Neil as he heads to the bathroom
"Wanna race?" asked Lincoln "Oh it's on!" replied Timmy, they both head towards Turbo racers game area, while Absol just follows them
Meanwhile in the restroom "What do you mean Hollow is invading a planet?" asked Neil "He's letting his first apprentice invade a planet that made him a laughing stock" replied Gyro
"And no one is doing anything about it?" asked Neil "Negative, it appears this is something Hollow wants his apprentice to accomplish" replied Kane on the other end
"Do you guys even know what planet it is?" asked Neil "I belongs to an alien race called the Irken empire, which could mean Hollow's apprentice is an Irken" said Gyro
"But why would he want to invade his own home planet?" asked Neil "What part of laughing stock do you not even understand" replied Gyro "So, this is a revenge invasion" said Neil
"Seems like it and we can't put a stop to it" replied Kane "thanks for the info, keep me updated on what they're doing" said Neil "Will do Spellman" said Gyro before they break up transmission
Neil heads out of the restroom and sees his two sons playing games "Having fun I see" said Neil "Hey guys, when your done playing, then we'll eat lunch" said Neil
"Sure thing dad" they both respond "Come on Abe, let's find some seats" said Neil, Absol gets up and follows Neil "Why didn't you bring Gabite with you" asked Abe
"Gabite decided to help Gwen and Lily get groceries" said Neil, then they spot some empty seats and wait for the other boys
(Minutes later)
"Can't believe I only won once and you won everything else" said Timmy "I've had some experience with the game" replied Lincoln
They both spot Neil and Absol waiting for them with a still warm pepperoni pizza "Sweet lunch!" they both say
While their eating their pizza, Timmy asks Neil something "How did you know that I was in trouble in my world?"
Neil sighs "I was wondering when you might ask me that, do you remember Jimmy Neutron?" asked Neil
Timmy stopped eating "That's a name I haven't heard in a while" said Timmy "Well he was the one who told me about your problem" said Neil
Timmy couldn't believe it, a friend from another dimension was the one who gave his new family the warning about his world "Wow, I should thank him for this" said Timmy
"And he told me about the trouble you two caused when you teamed up" said Neil, Timmy gets a bit nervous "Yeah, not really our best moments together" replied Timmy
"At least you two fixed it, like that villain you guys created" said Lincoln "And professor Calamitous merging with Jorgen" said Neil "And Crocker in fairy world" said Lincoln
"Okay guys, I get it, I've made a lot of mistakes, especially to Crocker" said Timmy "What do you mean?" asked Neil
Timmy then tells them of what happened when he wished he could see why Denzel Crocker was so miserable and mean, and to Neil and Lincoln it was a major shocker
"Well, that was very informative" said Neil "Now we know how he got that ear on his neck" said Lincoln
"I'm not in trouble am I?" asked Timmy nervously, Neil sighs "No, if you didn't cause it, then the timeline would've been different" replied Neil
"Which could also lead to multiple changes in your future" said Lincoln "It's a time traveler's paradox thing" said Neil, they then went back to eating their lunch
"How about we have some R&R at the park later?" asked Neil "That sounds nice" said Lincoln "We could use some of that" said Timmy "Same here" replied Absol
(Ketchum Park)
Neil and his two boys spend the day just relaxing on the grass and watching the clouds "This is relaxing" said Neil "Yeah, just us guys, hanging out" said Lincoln "Wish Sergei and Leon were here" said Timmy
"If they were here, then something crazy could've happened" replied Neil "True on that dad" said Lincoln, Absol was under another tree sleeping, while everyone else in the park were enjoying themselves
"So have you called any of your friends recently?" asked Neil, this made Timmy nervous "Well, not really" replied Timmy "Seriously! Not Chloe or Trixie or your Fairies?" asked Lincoln "or Carly?" said Neil
"No, I haven't really thought about who I should talk to, I'm still coping with everything that's happened" said Timmy as he sits up and looks down sadly
Neil and Lincoln could tell that Timmy was torn with what has happened to his family, mostly to his mom
Neil and Lincoln sit up and move closer to Timmy "Hey bud, you did the right thing, and I'm pretty sure your mom knows as well" said Neil "And when the time is right, you can return to her and be a family again" said Lincoln
Timmy wipes away a few tears on his face "Thanks guys, you really are the best dad and brother I could have" said Timmy as he hugs them, they hug him in return as well
"Oh, by the way dad, who was calling you earlier?" asked Lincoln "It was just Gyro and Kane telling me that Hollow has invaded another planet for his apprentices revenge" replied Neil "What?" asked Lincoln and Timmy
