Spells and Louds
Chapter 240: Netherwhelps
(Spellman Estate)
Just a typical day at the home of the Spellman family. Everyone seems to be doing their own thing right now, except for Lily, she is taking a nap in her room and odd that she has Bun-Bun with her.
Meanwhile things have been going well with other worldly reports.
The dimensional shard hasn't been doing anything else as of lately, Beach City is still having its joys with little Gem homeschool, Marvel DSK-verse has a few Hydra sub factions being hunter down and Lincoln also told his team about what has been happening with his friends in their world, he did have a hang out chat time with them yesterday.
Now Lincoln, Luna and Neil are headed down to the basement, where they keep all the work out gear.
"This is gonna be relaxing and exciting" said Lincoln.
"True to that bro, gonna see how much weight I can left on my own now" said Luna.
"Just don't cheat with your powers. Just try and see how many pounds you can take on" said Neil.
"You got it pops" replied Luna.
"And to think, here we are actually working out to get stronger in hand-to-hand combat" said Lincoln.
Luna chuckles. "The one thing LJ has been trying to make us do back when we were part of the family."
"Just be greatful you guys aren't eating or drinking raw eggs" said Neil.
They all chuckled at hearing that.
"I wonder how Lynn is doing anyway" said Luna.
"I did saw her yesterday at the Burpin' Burger with all of her friends, she's back in the Roller Derby team and I think her pals have dates now. One of them is a girl and her date is a girl" replied Lincoln.
Neil was feeling concerned about this. "And I'm gonna guess that Lynn is gonna feel like the third wheel when she hangs out with them."
"Well, she was sitting on the kiddie table of the restaurant" replied Lincoln.
"Yup, LJ is now becoming the third wheel whenever she hangs out with her friends" said Luna.
"She might go the distance in getting a date so she won't feel left out" said Lincoln.
"Wait, but what about that Francisco kid? I thought she had a crush on the guy?" asked Neil.
"Yeah, she told me a few days ago that she never had a crush on him. Turns out she was just feeling dehydrated and thought she had a thing for him. It was the one news that I never saw coming" said Lincoln.
"Wow man. So Lynn is single and isn't interested in a boy, yet" said Luna.
"Meh, it's only a matter of time before she finds that Mr. Sporty right" said Neil.
Lincoln chuckles. "If anyone can keep up with her." They all chuckle at that and make it to the bottom of the stairs.
But then they noticed that something was wrong. "Umm, what is this?" asked Neil.
Right in front of them, the ground was now drenched in shadowy smoke, and it looks like it was moving and as dark as undead blighted ground.
"This seems oddly Warcraft like" said Lincoln. His watch then configures into his Shredder Blaster.
"Where the heck did you keep that bro?" asked Luna.
"Martin made some modifications to make my shredder blaster a bit more manageable to bring around, so it can now turn into my wrist watch, with some magical help from Gyro" said Lincoln.
"Okay guys, let's talk about weapon modifications later we got some movement in the smoke!" said Neil.
Luna readies her ice powers and so does Neil with his Deathwing's mace.
They all look around the basement. "We mustn't touch the ground, who knows what that smoke can do" said Neil.
Lincoln activates a beacon to signal the others that something was wrong in their house.
"Eyes up people. Something is watching us!" said Luna. Then they see something small black and fast moving through the smoke.
"And I think it knows we're watching it!" said Neil. Then another one dashes through the smoke with the other fast moving figure.
"Looks like we got two of them down here!" said Lincoln.
The two figures run around through the smoke and dash into some cover and then come out and run through the smoke once more.
"Is it just me, or do these things look like they're playing" said Niel.
"What the heck is going on here?" asked Luna.
That's what we wanna know too" they look up to the stairs and see Linka and the rest of the family.
"What's going on guys?" asked Leni. They all head down the stairs and they see the shadow smoke drenched floor.
"And what happened to the basement?" asked Gwen.
Then they also see the fast movement through this shadowy smoke.
"Okay, what the heck was that?!" asked Sunset. They all get their weapons and powers ready.
"Whatever it is, wants us to cross this smoke!" said Neil.
Linka uses her sniper rifle and looks around the smoke, then she spots a pair of eyes staring at her. "Whoa! Guys, I think I got it in my sights."
"Really? What the heck is it then?" asked Timmy.
Linka looks closely, these eyes were glowing orange and looked innocent. She then moves her sniper rifles position and she spots something that shocks her.
She then lowers her weapon. "Lincoln, come on." Linka steps off the stairs and onto the shadowy ground.
They all gasped at what she was doing.
Lincoln was confused by this. "Linka, what the heck is going on?"
"What are you doing?!" asked Timmy.
"Bloody hell, what the heck?!" said Luna.
"Linka!" yelled Leni.
"Linka Spellman, you get back here now!" said Neil and Gwen.
Linka looks back to her brother. "Lincoln, come on. They won't hurt us." she offers her hand to him.
Lincoln hesitates at first, but then he sees his twins eyes, they were eyes telling her to trust Linka's instincts and that she knows what she's doing.
Lincoln lowers his weapon and accepts her hand and he follows her through the shadowed ground. "Linka do you know what you're doing?" He looks around and spots the fast moving creatures pass by them.
The others are now worried at what they were doing. "Can someone tell me what the heck is going on here?!" asked Sunset.
Luna and Leni could tell that they were doing what Linka believes in. "Guys, let's give them a chance, they got this" said Leni.
"She's got a point dudes" said Luna.
The all felt uneasy by this, but they know Lincoln and Linka know what they're doing, so they power down and lower their weapons.
"Whatever it is that's in that shadowy fog is still there. But I think they got this" said Gwen.
Neil sniffs the air and senses the same thing Deathwing senses. "Why does it smell so familiar in here? Like a place I went to once."
"Okay, this is getting confusing" said Gwen.
Lincoln and Linka then approach the place where the two nether dragon eggs once were. Linka wasn't shocked, but Lincoln was. "Sis ….. Did …. D-Did they hatch?"
Linka picks up the broken egg. "Yes bro, they did."
Lincoln then looked back and he saw the two pairs of eyes looking at them, they seem to be on ground level and were kinda small now that he sees them.
"And I think they're here" said Lincoln. Linka turns around and also sees the eyes. She slowly approaches them.
Linka sits on her knees and places her hand in front of whatever it is. The small creature approaches and it lets her hand touch its head. Linka smiles. "Hello, Shall'cross."
Then the shadowy smoke fades and they all see the two small creatures.
"Holy moly!" said Luna.
"No way!" said Timmy.
"Netherwhelps" said Neil. "They hatched!"
And they were Netherwhelps, both small dragons at a two inches bigger than an adult pit bull, wing span of a bald eagle, four teeth peer from the bottom and a row of scales on the head that might one day be the horns. Both are different in color.
Lincoln's Netherwhelp: Light blue with orange scales underneath its belly, and glowing blue eyes.
Linka's Netherwhelp: Velvet with orange scales underneath, and glowing yellow eyes.
These were the same Dragons that were given to them by Kel'Thuzad on their birthday, and now they're hatched.
The two dragons started making small noises which indicated they were happy to see Lincoln and Linka. Linka chuckles and picks up her Netherwhelp. "Aww, look at you!"
Lincoln smiles to see his sister hugging her dragonwhelp. Lincoln then looks to his, like Linka he places his hand on its head and it accepts it. Lincoln chuckles. "Hey, Nel'Thorious."
The little dragon makes some roaring sounds and hops into Lincoln' arms, Lincoln laughs as he hugs the little guy. "Hey there buddy! You're growing up fast."
The rest of the family approach them. "Looks like we've got some more things on our hand. We can't let them out of the basement otherwise they might do some trouble to everything, especially to Washington and Victoria and they're little ones" said Neil.
Lincoln and Linka know what they have to do. They look to Neil. "Contact Gyro and Kel'Thuzad."
They all understood what they meant and contacted The Guardian and the Archlich.
(An hour later)
Kel'Thuzad and Gyro were both shocked at what they're looking at. "So, you guys just came in here and saw these two running around in shadowy smoke that they created?" asked Gyro.
"We did" replied Lincoln and Linka.
"I didn't expect this to happen so soon. Normally Netherwhelps hatch after a year or more, they can only accelerate their hatching process should they be in a place of magic and that would be the home of the Nathrezim, the Twisting Nether" replied Kel'Thuzad. "Or if they're any nether fire in outland."
"Then what the heck sparked these guys to hatch so quickly?" asked Gwen.
Gyro then figures it out. "The Dimensional crystal shard! The energies it created must've granted them all the magic they needed to fully hatch and also grow up."
Linka rubs the head of Shall'cross. "Well, that explains they're size. They do consume magic as a source of food."
Lincoln does the same for Nel'Thorious. "And how come we both came up with the names for them after we touched them?"
"That would be the dragon magic within, they are capable of inspiring their masters to see what they can do and what their identity is" replied Kel'Thuzad.
"So, they told you the names they have chosen. Very clever little ones, clever indeed" replied Gyro.
Neil then intervenes. "As much fun as it is, we have to find a place for them to stay. They cannot stay down here in the basement otherwise they will cause some damage."
"And we can't let them come upstairs with all of us, they could so harm and damage to everything, including the Pokemon and the pets" replied Gwen.
"They have a point guys" said Luna and Leni.
Lincoln and Linka understand this, but they don't know where else to place their dragons.
Then Neil has an idea. "I think I know where we can place them?"
"The Twisting Nether?" asked Kel'Thuzad.
"What?! No!" replied Neil. He then goes to his two kids. "Come on, I know where they can stay."
They get up with their dragons in their arms and head out of the basement with the others following.
They leave the house all the while they don't run into the pets and the Pokemon, they son make it to the great gate and through the portal.
(Ever After)
They all come out and see that they were now near the school of Ever After High. "Of course! This is the best place for them to stay!" said Lincoln.
"And there's tons of magic here!" said Linka.
"Better yet, Limitless magic!" said Gyro.
They then spot Duchess run towards them, and then Giles Grimm.
"Guys! What are you guys doing here?" Duchess then notices the little dragons with Lincoln and Linka. "And, what the heck are those dragons?"
Giles also sees this, he does recall about what Neil said about Lincoln and Linka's birthday gift from the Archlich. "And I am assuming you want these two dragonwhelps to stay here at Ever After High?"
"That's the plan Giles. We should take them to the dragon stables and the dragon arena" said Neil.
"I'm going to go and tell Whitemane about this, I'm sure she'll be fine with this" said Gyro. He turns into a raven and flies off.
They all head to the dragon arena all the while they pass by a lot of students who were amazed by these new dragons.
They soon make it to the Ever After High dragon stables. There they let they're little dragons run around the place and they run into Raven Queen and her dragon Nevermore. "Hey there little guys."
They even interact with the other grownup dragons that belong to Maddie, Holly, Poppy, Darling, Apple and Evil Queen's dark dragon. And the oldest dragon there, Legend.
"Look at how happy they are to see new dragons" said Linka.
"Why are they acting so childish and less aggressive? I always though dragons from Azeroth were territorial if they were not part of the Dragonflights yet" said Lincoln.
"It is because of you two. They understand they're trainers and will be at their best behavior until they can prove their strength once they become full grown dragons" said Kel'Thuzad.
"In which they will become the strongest of dragons here in Ever After" said Evil Queen as she arrives.
"So, I assume these dragons are going to stay here?" asked Evil Queen.
"Yes, yes they are" replied Neil. "We can't let them run around our world, they could cause some damage."
"That, and because there isn't any magic for them to consume" said Linka.
"This is a surprise for me. I have never seen dragons like these before, well I have heard of them from the book Gyro gave me. Azeroth has remarkable dragons" said Evil Queen. The two dragonwhelps run around the Evil Queen and then they run back to Lincoln and Linka.
"We should show them to the dragon arena" said Giles Grimm.
They all make it to the dragon arena, the very same one that will be sued for the upcoming Dragon games.
Shall'Cross and Nel'Thorious jump off of Lincoln and Linka and they start to run around the field, they also start to flap they're wings for short burst flights.
"Aww! They're trying to fly" said Linka. She then takes a picture of this.
"They really want to learn" chuckled Lincoln. He also takes a picture of this.
A raven arrives and morphs into Gyro. "I spoke with Sally Whitemane, she said it is oaky for the two Netherwhelps to stay here, just as long as Lincoln and Linka come by to check up on them and help train them."
The Linck twins smile at the idea. "We can do that."
Gyro hands Evil Queen a blue hovering orb. "This mana orb will give these two dragons all the magic and mana they need to consume. It's one of my most powerful artifacts and can create limitless mana and magic, just let is hover anywhere in the dragon stables and it will make an area that will fuel these two, and chances it might empower you and your daughter."
Evil Queen does feel a powerful sense coming from it. "Well, I sure can feel all of its power. This will do nicely for those two dragons."
The two small dragons run around the evil queen, they're actually absorbing some of the mana to fuel they're little dragon bodies. "And it looks like they're feeding" said Sunset.
Giles takes a picture of this cute moment, so does Raven.
Lincoln and Linka go to their dragons and hug them. "Listen, we will come back soon. Please be good dragons okay?" said Linka. "And maybe we'll bring along some of our friends to see you guys."
"The last thing we want is for the two of you to cause any trouble in this world, okay?" said Lincoln. "And better yet, we can bring you guys with us for visits to earth."
The two dragons smiled and nodded their heads. They then proceed to lick Lincoln and Linka, making them chuckle.
Everyone else laughs at this and also joins in on this dragonwhelp happy hour. Everyone, but Gyro, Evil Queen and Kel'Thuzad.
"So, do you think those two whelps will become dragons once they've grown?" asked Evil Queen.
"Not sure, but I think they will become something far more powerful than a normal adult dragon. I can feel it" said Gyro. "They both possess immense strength that Deathwing cannot sense."
"Do you believe they will emerge as full grown Wyrms?" asked Kel'Thuzad. "Those are the type of dragons that can create that kind of immense power."
"Maybe, but I still feel as if they can be beyond that power. They absorbed the aura from the dimensional crystal shard when it first appeared underneath their basement. So chance they might gain new powers" said Gyro.
"I assure you that other dragon riders and I will be doing our best to watch over them, and making sure they're properly trained. I still have the book on Azeroth dragons" said Evil Queen.
Gyro looks to the group having fun with the dragons, and yes Gwen brought Lily there. "Good, because I believe destiny will need those dragons. For either the realms … Or for Azeroth."
Lincoln and Linka laugh and enjoy this moment with their new Nether Dragonwhelps Shall'cross and Nel'Thorious. What future holds for the four of them?
To be continued …..
A/N: It took me this long to figure out how these dragons will hatch and what they can do. I also had to look for the image of the World of Warcraft Dragon Netherwhelps. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
