Spells and Louds
Chapter 67: Saving the Sector
(Spellman Estate)
After having endured another day of school. The Spellman kids are enjoying they're relaxing time at home. No homework, no studying and no other plans. Just a normal lazy day.
Well, except for Leni, she's at work and it is one heck of a senior citizens sale.
Leaving only Lincoln, Linka, Sunset, Luna and Timmy in the backyard. All of them just lying on the grass and looking at the sky as clouds fly by. Oh and Courage and the Pokémon are with them of course.
Neil is in his office and Gwen is in the kitchen making Lily's bottle of milk.
"This sure make a good relaxing time huh dudes?" said Luna. "Totally" said Timmy. "Dang right" said Lincoln. "Agreed" said Linka. "So glad we don't have any school work now" said Sunset.
"Pretty sure Lisa isn't feeling like we are, she would rather have school work. It's like a lazy time for her, just studying" said Lincoln. "Reminds me of Levi" said Linka. "Or AJ" said Timmy. "Twilight's probably doing the same thing" said Sunset.
"Yup, nothing can ruin this day" said Lincoln. But then they all hear an alarm. All of the kids look at Lincoln. "Me and my big mouth" replied Lincoln.
They all get up and head to the living room. Neil is already there and Gwen with Lily.
"Dad whats going on?" asked Sunset. "Martin is coming on the line" replied Neil.
The TV screen changes and they see Martin and Victor inside of a Terran Dominion military base, along with Leon and Sergei?
"Hey brother" said Leon and Sergei who are arming some gause rifles. "Okay, I don't even know what's going on here. Better yet, we don't even know whats going on here or why you guys are contacting us. So please, can someone tell us what the heck is going on?!" said Neil in confusion.
But before Martin and Victor could explain, they are interrupted by someone else. "Perhaps I can explain" said Horner. "You already know who I am".
"Mathew Horner. Admiral of the Dominion fleet and captain of the Battlecruiser Hyperion, you fought alongside Commander James Raynor to bring down Emperor Arcturus Mengsk's tyrannical regime" replied Lincoln. "And you were once married to the Mercenary leader Mira Han".
They all look at Lincoln with shocked looks. "What? I did my research after the battle against evil Lincoln" said Lincoln.
Matt felt a bit uneasy. "Well, thank you for the intro and the part of me being married was not necessary". Lincoln looked away in embarrassment. "Sorry about that".
"Anyway, the reason why we're calling you is because the Hybrid have returned" said Matt. They all gasp in shock. "What?" yelled Neil. "I thought we finished all of them off the last time we fought?" said Sunset.
Then the screen splits and they see Phase Smith Karax. "Let's just say some of them escaped the battle. It appears they were not entranced by the hatred of Evil Lincoln and managed to find a way out of the void" said Karax.
"They have taken control of multiple abandoned Mobius bases and are using whats left to create more Hybrid clones. We've taken out twenty of these outposts. But there are still more out there" said Matt.
"If we do not destroy all of the Hybrid, they will most likely attempt to conquer not just the Koprulu sector, but the whole Multiverse, if they can" said Karax.
"And you're calling us, because you want us to help you guys battle the hybrid" said Neil. "Yes" replied Matt. "Precisely" said Karax.
Neil then stops and thinks. "Hang on. Let me and my family decide" said Neil. "We'll be on standby" replied Matt. They then turn off transmission.
Neil looks to his family. "Well fam, what do you think?" asked Neil. "It seems pretty risky and dangerous" said Gwen.
"The last time we fought them we had a freakin' army" said Sunset. "But why would they contact us for this job dudes?" said Luna. "To be honest, I've never fought or even seen Hybrid" said Timmy.
Then Lincoln and Linka both realize why they were called for this. "They're calling us because we've all experienced battling them" said Linka. "And they probably need some more front line heroes to join the fight. They don't have much strategists out there" said Lincoln.
They all look at Lincoln and Linka shocked and confused. "That sounds like a pretty good theory" said Neil.
They all look at each other, then back to Neil. "So, what's the vote guys?" asked Neil. "Wait, we haven't told Leni yet" said Sunset.
"Maybe we should call her, it's almost her break time" said Luna. "Good idea" said Lincoln.
Neil pulls out his phone and contacts Leni, and they were right. Leni is having lunch with Miguel and Fiona at the food court.
"Hey guys what's up?" said Leni. Neil puts her on speaker. "Listen Leni, we just got called by the Terran Dominion and the Protoss. They want our help in fighting the returning Hybrid. We don't know if it's a good idea to go. That's why we're calling you. We need an all family vote and apparently Leon and Sergei are already there" said Neil.
Leni drops her burrito which lands on her plate. "Leni? Leni? Are you still there?" said Neil on the phone.
Leni then returns back to reality. "I would really like to help you guys, but the store is gonna be packed soon. We already finished folding the clothes and sorting out what's necessary for the seniors" replied Leni.
Leni then thinks and then comes to a decision. "Alright guys, I made my choice. You guys can go and fight them. Maybe next time I'll join you" said Leni.
"Guess it's a go" said Lincoln. "Just be careful out there. Those Hybrid are pretty dangerous" said Leni before she hangs up.
Neil then turns on the screen and they see Matt and Karax. "We've come to a decision, we'll join you in the battle" said Neil. The rest of the family nodded as well.
"Excellent, we'll send in a transport to pick you up" said Matt. "We'll see you here soon" then the transmission turns off.
Neil looks to everyone. "Alright guys. Let's hero up".
They all get they're powers ready for battle. Gwen decided to stay and watch over Lily and as much fun it would be to battle in space. Timmy decided to stay behind, he thinks he's not ready for the Hybrid.
Luna calls Lori to see if she was available and good timing too. Lisa is having a playdate in the park with Darcy. Lola, Lana and Lucy are there as well with Rita. Lynn Sr is escorting Luan to a birthday gig with Lynn Jr helping out.
Dana and Becky decided to stay behind to keep Royal Woods and the world safe.
An hour later and they all spot a Special ops Dropship land in front of the great gate.
"Alright guys. Let's go eliminate some alien scum!" said Neil. They all board the Dropship and wave goodbye to Gwen, Lily, Timmy, the Pokémon and Courage. Oh and Harv as well.
"I'm surprised you're coming along too Linka" said Lincoln. "I think I know what they have planned for me" said Linka. "Really?" said Neil.
The Dropship then flies into the great gate.
(Koprulu Sector. Above Tarsonis, Dominion space)
The Dropship makes it through a portal and flies towards the massive fleet.
The heroes look out the windows and are shocked to see the massive armada composed of Dominion Battlecruiser's, Zerg Leviathan's, The Protoss Golden Armada and Tal'Darim Death Fleet.
But what shocked them the most is the Super Star Destroyer, accompanied by multiple Star Destroyers.
The Dropship flies towards the Super Star Destroyer and lands in the hangar bay.
They all get out and see a lot of Imperial soldiers prepping for attack. But there were some Storm Trooper pilots boarding X-Wing's.
Then they spot Lord Hollow approaching them. "Glad you all made it" said Hollow. "I'm sorry you're here as well?" said Neil with disbelief.
Hollow and Neil approach each other. "Yes, yes I am" replied Hollow. "Why the heck are you here? Shouldn't you be out there conquering or something?" asked Neil. Hollow chuckles. "As much fun as that sounds, no I am not. I told you, I am no hero, nor am I a villain. I stand to maintain the balance of everything. Mostly to the force" said Hollow.
Neil and Hollow just stare at each other menacingly. "Stare off you and me" said Neil. "That's a problem for you, because I'm wearing a mask so you don't know how intimidating I am. Deathwing" replied Hollow.
Neil realizes it. "Damn it" said Neil. Well this was literally awkward" said Lori. "So, where's your apprentice's?" asked Sunset.
"I decided to let Zim go from my teachings. He finally got what he wanted, but he will come to aid me if the matter is necessary and Mandie is leading the rest of the fleet in the bridge" replied Hollow.
Then a large holographic transmission is in front of them. The one's making contact are Matt Horner, Artanis, Alarak and Zagara.
"Glad you all made it" said Matt. "We wouldn't want the multiverse to be in danger now, would we" replied Neil.
"Where is the guardian?" asked Artanis. "He wanted me to tell all of you that he is engaged in a battle against the horde. Something about protecting Karazhan from Sylvannas. He has the Scarlet Crusaders with him, so there's no need to worry" replied Hollow.
"That is understandable" said Artanis. "And since we're being honest. I would like to thank the girl, Mary Test. The one who figured out that there was a Terran scientist on one of my controlled planets. If she hadn't had figured it out, then I would've sent the death fleet to kill him" said Alarak.
"Wait a minute! So Egon Stetman was on one of your planets?" asked Lincoln. "On the planets Bel'Shir, he was experimenting with one of our decimated bases. If the Terran's never came to save him, then I would've killed him myself and all of his useless experiments" replied Alarak.
"So, where is he now?" asked Sunset. "Stetman is currently going through medical checkup. He's been exposed to a large dose of Terrazin. Surprised he survived it" replied Matt.
"We should get to the real matter at hand. Dealing with the Hybrid" said Zagara.
"She's got a point. So what's the plan?' asked Neil.
"The Hybrid have established a base of operations on the planet Tarsonis. They've also taken control of a large number of dead Zerg, which they have reconstituted from they're deaths" said Artanis.
"Luckily, our Zerg do not look like the ones the Hybrid use. Ours are far more evolved" said Zagara.
"We won't be able to mistake any misfires if that happens" said Alarak.
"All the citizens of the planet have been evacuated. They're all hold up on a small space outpost. Until we take back the planet" said Matt.
"A base of operations have been established on ground level already. Terran, Protoss and Zerg. They're holding off a small invasion force of undead Zerg as we speak" said Artanis.
"The only thing holding us off is the Hybrid air force" said Zagara. "They somehow mutated themselves with the destroyed Terran aircraft and they await us on the planet's atmosphere".
"Then I guess it's time to strike" said Neil. "Indeed. The plan is, to let our aerial forces deal with any Hybrid air threats" said Artanis.
"Then we will send in drop pods onto the planet's surface. Both Terran and Zerg drop pods" said Zagara.
"The Terran Drop pods will have probe drones that will build Pylons so our forces will warp there" said Alarak.
"Once we've secured the forward base, all of you will lead some squads into the fight. Terran, Zerg and Protoss, as well as Galactic Imperial" said Matt.
"Okay, good plan. But where are my brothers and the smart guys of FutureTech?" asked Neil.
"They are already on the planet's surface. We had a previous plan before. It worked, sort of. You're brothers along with Martin and Victor have survived the drop and are holding the line as we speak" said Artanis.
"Yup, always wanting to go in first" said Neil with a smirk. "So, now that we have the plan, let's put it in motion" said Sunset.
They turn off all transmissions and get to they're positions. Lincoln and Jordan board the vulture bike, now modified for Space combat. Neil transforms into a smaller Deathwing to survive the space fight. The others hop into an imperial drop pod.
But Linka didn't join them. Hollow approaches her. "Linka, com with me. The Terran Dominion wanted you to use this for the battle. We need someone to rally all of our forces" said Hollow. Linka nods and follows him, they enter a very large hangar. All the lights turn on and Linka smiles at what she sees.
"You think you can handle her?" asked Hollow. "I've used her twice. I got this" replied Linka.
The whole fleet of ships are now above the planet's atmosphere, they spot the base at the bottom and a large squad of Hybrid merged aircraft inbound.
Hollow heads back to the bridge. "Mandie head into a TIE fighter and join the squads" said Hollow. "Yes my lord" replied Mandie. She leaves the bridge, accompanied by some star fighter pilots.
Hollow notices something was wrong. He turns on communications. "Admiral Horner, where are the other ships?" asked Hollow.
On the Hyperion, they all hold on as the ship shakes. "There's been a slight change of plans. Seems like the Hybrid have taken control of some destroyed Battlecruiser's and right now all fleet ship are engaged in battle" replied Matt.
"You will have to lead the fighters on the planet. Once the skies are clear, signal us so we may launch the drop pods" said Artanis.
"Will do and good luck to all of you in space" said Hollow. He then turns off transmission.
Multiple X-Wings and TIE fighters leave the Super Star Destroyers hangar.
"All Squadron's report in!" said Hollow.
"My lord this Delta leader reporting". "This is Omega Leader reporting. "This is Strike Leader, standing by". "This is Red Leader, standing by". Said all of the squad leaders.
"Prepare all of your shields, maintain speed at full throttle and tear those monsters out of the sky!" said Hollow.
All fighters engage in heavy air-to-air combat. Then the Vulture bike comes out of the hangar and starts freezing and launching missiles at enemy aircraft.
"All Red Squadrons, Rally to Vulture Leader" said Red Leader. All aircraft confirm and follow the Vulture bike through the skies and they start spraying down multiple Hybrid aircraft.
Neil comes out in dragon form and breaks apart aircraft, along with some Imperial TIE fighters as escorts.
Then a Hybrid rebuilt Battlecruiser enters the atmosphere and comes to the side of the Super Star destroyer.
A TIE Advanced leaves the hangar with some aircraft and attack the Battlecruiser. "This is Fire Leader Mandie reporting in. we are engaging the Ship" said Mandie.
Hollow sees the Battlecruiser ready to engage. "Prepare to attack!" said Hollow.
On the side of both ships, they start bombarding each other. "All batteries Fire! Fire!" said the Hollow.
After launching a barrage of rounds on the Battlecruiser, it goes down. But the Super Star Destroyer is also hit and is slowly falling. "Maintain all gravity fields and get this thing back into the air" said Hollow.
Lincoln and Jordan notice this. "Oh no!"
"Fire emergency booster engines!" said Hollow. And thankfully the Destroyer flies back to the air.
With only a few aircraft in the sky. It was time. "All fleet ships, you are now clear to send in the reinforcements" said Hollow.
"Reinforcements are being dropped now" said Zagara. "The Hybrid fleet has been destroyed, we'll be joining you on the atmosphere soon" said Artanis.
All Terran and Zerg Fleet ships send in their drop pods along with some Viking aircraft and Mutalisk escorts.
Imperial drop pods also join in accompanied by A-Wings and TIE Defenders.
All drop pods make it to the surface. The Protoss Probes are the first to come out and start warping in Pylons.
Everyone else comes out and heads to the base to reinforce and fortify.
Neil and the vulture bike come down and land next to the HQ, where Martin, Victor, Sergei and Leon are waiting. Also with them now are Luna, Sunset and Lori.
Lincoln hops off the vulture bike and gets hugged by Luna. Lincoln smiles and hugs her back. "That was pretty intense out there bro" said Luna.
"Hey, at least we're all fine now" said Lincoln.
"Alright McKenzie, what's the plan here?" asked Neil. "Well, once those pylons are done being built and we get our Protoss reinforcements, we'll be advancing on the front line and decimate the hybrid base. Thank goodness it's not that well defended. The hybrid didn't think we would retaliate like this" replied Martin.
"Were there any casualties?" asked Sunset. "Ten casualties, some Protoss and Terran, only two civilian" replied Leon.
"Let's just say there were some people who wanted to fight for their home" said Sergei.
"Let's deal with the plan at hand people" said Victor. The pylons were finally done and an army of Protoss warriors, including Alarak, Fenix and Artanis warp in.
"We overheard your plan. Let us begin the battle" said Artanis. "Finally, I can bathe my blades into the blood of those freaks!" said Alarak. "This will be glorious" said Fenix.
They all head out of the base and spot the Hybrid army making a retreat. Some of them are trying to charge back at them.
"Alright people. Let's go send them back to hell!" yelled Neil. They all charged with their armies straight towards the retreating Hybrid.
Lincoln is leading a squadron of Ghost snipers and Specter snipers. Jordan in the Arct Mech is leading a squadron of Goliath and Spartan mechs. Luna is accompanied by Hydralisk's and Roach's. Susnet is commanding a group of High Templar and Protoss Adepts. Lori is charging with a group of Reaper soldiers and Dark Templar. Neil is riding an army of Ultralisk's with Colossi.
Sergei and Leon are leading the Siege Tanks. Martin and Victor are driving the Diamondback's into the fight.
Artanis has his united Protoss, Alarak with his Tal'Darim forces and Fenix with the Purifiers.
The Hybrid army is being torn apart, frozen, melted, decimated and pretty much wasted by the heroes charging in.
The odds get better when they all hear Hollow speaking. "Hope you guys are ready for something big" said Hollow.
They all look up and see Hollow's Super Star Destroyer with some fighters. The bottom of the ship opens and a large object comes down and slams onto the Hybrid army, making wild dust storms.
The dust clears and they all are shocked to see the Odin accompanied by a squad of Thor Mech's.
Lincoln smiles. "Linka, I know you're in there" said Lincoln. "Good guess bro" replied Linka. She then activates the Ragnarok missiles and bombards the Hybrid.
"Everyone! Rally to the Odin!" yelled Lincoln. They all battle cry together and charge with the large Mech's. "Ragna-Rock and Roll guys! Woohoo!" cheered Linka.
Luna then summons Lucius and transforms into Demon Luna. She hovers and casts black bolts of ice onto the Hybrid. "This is awesome!" said Demon Luna.
Lori slams her fist into the ground, creating an impaling spire of volcanic rocks burning the Hybrid.
Sunset casts multiple red coils, they wrap around the Hybrid and she tosses them into the air. X-Wings eradicate the airborne Hybrid.
Lincoln creates an ice mist around his squad. And since they're Ghosts and Specters, they can see through the mist and blast each Hybrid in the fog.
The Arct Mech grabs a Hybrid and splits it in two, she grabs another one and rips the head off, another one and punches a hole in its head. "This is too easy for me!" said Jordan.
Neil slides down the Ultralisk's tusk and hurls a fiery meteor towards a cluster of Hybrid. Then he rallies with the Zerg and charge forward.
It wasn't long for them, but they reached the Hybrid built base. All the Hybrid start evacuating into transports. But they're shot down by Mandie and the Imperial air forces.
The rest of the Hybrid have been wiped out, including some mutated undead Zerg.
The Hybrid have suffered a lot of casualties, or better yet. No Hybrid survived or escaped. Though there are some casualties on the Terran and Protoss side, the Zerg's don't mind they're own casualties because they can be recycled by Abathur.
"Well, that went great" said Neil. "That was literally intense and extreme" said Lori. Luna takes off the crown. "Glad this guy was helpful" said Luna. Lucius takes a bow to them, making them all chuckle.
"We were a pretty good team back there" said Lincoln, "Teaming up with an army and leading them into battle was pretty cool" said Sunset. "Some of us aren't even adults and we just joined in a war" said Jordan.
Martin arrives with Victor, Sergei and Leon. "We sent recons around the planet to see if there are any stragglers" said Martin. "And thank goodness, there aren't any" said Victor. "Looks like we wiped them all out" said Leon. "Damn straight brother" said Sergei.
Hollow arrives from his transport. "You guys did good today. I am impressed" said Hollow. "You guys can head back home now if you want, you guys will be compensated soon".
They were all shocked by this. "I'm sorry what?" said Neil. "We get paid?!" said Luna.
Hollow looked at them. "Yes, what you all did was worth the reward. The Koprulu sector thanks all of you" said Hollow. He heads into his transport and flies off.
"Well, that just happened" said Martin. "Well, we should get going now" said Victor.
They all board the drop ship back to they're world. They hope to do this again soon. Not for the pay, but to protect this world and others. What they don't know, is that this won't be the last time they fight the Hybrid.
To be continued …..
Thought about adding some StarCraft into this. Some of the battle ideas came from the beginning battle of Star Wars 3. Hope you all liked this, leave a review.
