Spells and Louds
Chapter 249: Guests and Company
(Sharp Residence)
Just a normal day for the Sharps to have after one heck of a day at school, Kick decided to go back home since he heard that Gunther actually has football practice.
Peter notices Kick come into the house. "Hey there daredevil. Strange I thought you'd be with your big pal Gunther."
Kick pets the head of Rapidash who is in the house. "Gunther sent me a text that he was gonna be doing some football practice, so I decided to take a small break for a while. Eventually I'll be back on my board later."
"Cool, cool. Also, are you set for Timmy's birthday tomorrow?" asked Peter.
"You know it dad, I heard from Lincoln about the kind of things Timmy was into so I think he's gonna like what I got for him" said Kick. He then takes a seat next to his dad on the couch.
"So, where's Ember at?" asked Kick.
"She's back at Spellman Estate, she's talking to Gwen about some stuff. I don't know what but I could guess it's something of their personal business" replied Peter.
Kick chuckles. "So, you and Ember are really into each other huh?"
Peter snickers. "I guess you can say, we both went through some painful times in our lives, therefore making the beings who would find each other today."
"So, still not planning to ask her to marry you?" asked Kick.
"Kick, please. That road will be for when I think is the right time, I may have gotten over the last woman I fell for, but this is something that needs time. I think Ember still has some stuff on her chest she hasn't fully gotten off yet, and sooner or later she'll come clean with me about her secrets and maybe, just maybe. I can make the right call" replied Peter.
Kick looks to his dad and smiles. "So, you already have a plan for the proposal. Nice, also I think I got the layout of the whole town, at this point I'm gonna be skateboarding and cycling through Royal Woods with my eyes closed."
"Whoa there Daredevil, take it easy and try not to get overboard with that idea" said Peter.
"Dad I can handle it, trust me" said Kick.
Peter sighs. "Yeah, I guess you're right. I still wanna see how you can play the piano while skateboarding or doing some kind of extreme stuff."
Kick chuckles. "Oh, you'll see soon enough dad, you'll see." Then they hear the doorbell ring.
"Are we expecting company?" asked Kick.
"Not at the moment of me knowing, go and see who it is" said Peter. Kick nods and gets off the couch, he heads for the door and is shocked to see who it is.
A fifteen year old girl who us his complete opposite. Scarlet Rossetti, and the other is a sixteen year old babe with a blue dress who Kick knew when he was still a Buttowski. April.
"Hey Kick" said both girls.
"Whoa! Didn t expect either of you to come here, okay so maybe I expected Scarlet, but April! What the heck are you girls even doing here?" asked Kick.
"Kiddo, who's at … The door?" Peter is confused as to who the teenager was, he knows Scarlett. "Kick, who's this?"
Kick sighs/ "How about we all come inside."
"Sure" replied both girls. They follow into the house and were amazed by the place he's staying in/
Peter was confused by this, but he tries to be polite. "You girls want something to drink?"
"You got any Cheetah Chug sir?" asked Scarlet.
"Normal or XE?" asked Peter.
"Just then normal one" said Scarlet.
"Same for me please" replied April.
"Got it" Pete heads to the kitchen and then comes back with the four drinks, he hands them to Kick, Scarlet and April and Peter takes a seat on his chair.
"So, Scarlet. IT's good to see you again kid, I was hoping you'd come back and hang out with my boy" said Peter. "But I don't know who the hell you are."
"Oh, sorry. I don't think you actually know me, my name is April and I'm a good friend of Kick's" replied April.
Peter looks to Kick. "She's right dad. We go back to when I was a Buttowski."
Peter nods. "Okay, so might I ask how the two of you became acquaintances?"
"I guess it started when his former brother Brad wanted to go on a date with me, so I agreed just as long as Kick was with us. The kid is just so awesome! When I went on the date with Brad, Kick did whatever he could to make sure his brother didn't screw up, which was really sweet of him, then I find them both fighting because Brad didn't go by his word in giving the movie card to Kick. So I cut off all my ties with Brad and decided to go to the movies with Kick, you can say we both like awesome and extreme stuff" said April.
This was some information Peter did not know about. "Wow! So, Kick is like a little brother to ya."
"He is, I never had a little brother, and Kick has got to be the best little bro I know. Awesome, extreme, fearless and doesn't flinch at what's gonna happen next. Also we both like to watch Rock Callahan" replied April.
Peter nods in disbeleief. "Uh huh, okay then .So, you are here just to see how Kick is doing?"
"Well, yes and no. You see we wanna see this whole town he's now calling home, with Kick of course" replied Scarlet.
Kick smiles. "Ladies, it would be an honor to show you two all about Royal Woods. I already know about each place in town."
"Cool" they both reply. They all get off the couch. "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go and see the whole Royal Woods" said April.
Kick looks to his dad. "We'll be back home later dad."
Peter gives Kick is thumbs up. "Okay kiddo, have fun with these two ladies."
Kick chuckles. "Okay dad, okay" he then leaves the house with Scarlet and April.
Peter then sighs. 'Since when was Kick a ladies magnet all of a sudden? I know Whacky Jackie had this psychopathic crush on him, and Kendall had a secret crush on him. But this is insane!'
Kick then pulls out his bike, April rides with him, and Scarlet is on her skateboard. "Let's do this thing!" said April.
"That's the spirit!" said Kick. "Let's rock it!"
They all race off.
"By the way? Where the heck is Gunther?" asked Scarlet.
"Football practice" replied Kick.
"Wait what?" asked Scarlet.
"We have a lot to catch up on girls" replied Kick.
(Super Kirov Airship)
Boomer, Martin, Victor and Gyro help with some things that Sienna needs while she stays inside of the Super Kirov Airship.
"Okay, so this giant bedroom will be your quarters, we were able to get some clothes that you coul be comfortable with, we added some décor to make it feel kinda homie and if you have any questions about this thing and how to get down from it just ask Boomer" said Martin.
"That would be me" replied Boomer.
Sienna nods. "Thank you, all of you. This is a true honor to stay within this low tech weapon you have."
Boomer was getting confused by those words. 'Was that an insult or a compliment?' "Umm, you're welcome I guess."
"And though I was formerly the leader of the White Fang, I wish not to be treated with such manner. I as well will offer my services to help maintain this vessel" said Sienna.
"Oh, thank you" said Boomer.
They then hear an alarm coming from the bridge. "What was that?" asked Victor.
They all head to the bridge. "Oh, looks like the Royal Defenders are in Beaverton, chasing a runaway school bus" said Boomer.
They see on the screen a school bus who's breaks are broken go out of control, and the ones chasing it are Luna, Lincoln, Linka, Jordan, Dana and Becky.
"Should we provide assistance?" asked Sienna.
"No need, they look like they got it covered. We don't get much trouble in the nearby towns anymore, this must be the latest disaster of the month" said Gyro.
They then head back to Sienna Khan's quarters all while Boomer is staying at the bridge keeping an eye on everything. One thing Sienna was gonna do, is that she wants to provide whatever she can to them, and perhaps she can show herself to the rest of the Royal Defenders, soon.
Soon, they finish with the room setup for the former White Fang leader, Martin and Victor both head back to FutureTech to finish up on some new inventions.
Sienna looks to the distance on the balcony. Gyro stands next to her. "You seem troubled Sienna, what seems to be the problem?"
Sienna sighs. "I really didn't think all of this, wouldn't have happened if Adam hadn't went rogue on me. I want to return to Remnant and save my clan, but I know I have to wait and improve myself for the battles to come."
"And you wish to do so in the hands of the Royal Defenders?" asked Gyro.
"Yes, I know they have all the experience on new styles of combat, which could prove useful against any of Salem's insurgents, including Hazel!" said Sienna.
"Whoa! Whoa! Let's take it easy there. We know Hazel is one tough son of a bitch and taking him head on is not the best way to do so" said Gyro.
Sienna Khan calms herself. "Yes, yes. Sorry Gyro, I'm just-"
"Angry? I know how you feel, Remnant is under dire siege since the fall of beacon" said Gyro, then he gets an idea. "How about, we go somewhere that could put some clarity through you're vengeful rage?"
Sienna Khan had no idea what he was on about, Gyro opens a portal. "Boomer! Take us through!"
"You got it man!" Boomer sets his Airship to full throttle and they pass through the portal.
(Ketcham Park)
Kick, April and Scarlet finish their small tour of the whole town. They are now seating peacefully together buy some picnic benches.
"I gotta admit Kick, this town sure is something. I like it, no wonder why you dig this place sicne day one" said Scarlet.
"The high school teenagers here look so nice and less annoying. I have never seen that many peaceful and respectful girls my age before" said April.
"Well, that would be my sister, and her girlfriend and some other teenage girls I know about in town" said Kick.
"Do any of the kids here look up to you? Got any fans yet?" asked Scarlet.
"No, not yet. But I don't mind, I'm glad with what I do best and that's being the awesome me I can truly be" said Kick.
The two girls chuckle at this. "So, this Sam sister of yours. What's she like?"
Kick smiles. "She's the best kind of sibling I could ever have, she's a good role model and she's so nice and very supportive. She can also be kind of protective and truly responsible, next to her electric powers she can really bring out a spark and a smile whenever she makes music, along with her girlfriend Luna. At times we have some common ground, and at times she can be very emotional, she really likes having a little brother. I try not to go any further with the story of what happened to her former little bro Simon and her mom, but I did tell her that I would be as supportive I can be to her."
Scarlet and April thought it was sweet of Sam and sweet of Kick like this. "And what about you're other three sisters?"
"Well, we seem to get along quite nicely. Sonata likes having me around as company, she's never ever had a little brother before and she's a good cook."
"Aria can be cool and laid back at times, she also like to help me calculate my stunt experiments before I deploy them, so I guess she can be protective for my safety."
"And then there's Adagio, she's the leader of the their band the Dazzles, and all three of them together do their best to find the right tune to whatever song they have in mind. Adagio and I are on good terms with each other, at first we thought we weren't gonna be able to bond much, but we both have one thing in common, leadership. She's a smart and tactical leader to her band and I am a coordinated daredevil with Gunther following."
They were impressed at how great he has it with all four of his sisters. "Wow Kick. I guess you can cope quite well when it comes to older sisters" said Scarlet.
Kick chuckles. "What can I say? I know how to bond with those I can see as close to being in my respect and I truly respect and trust Sam, Adagio, Aria and Sonata."
"And what about your dad? How are you two with common grounds?" asked April.
"Dad and I have one thing in common, and it's not just the Cheetah Chug. He wants to see me perform my best and support me when I do stunts. He helps Gunther and me with our stunt setup, when he has the time, and he likes to ride fast on either his truck or bike" said Kick.
"Now that is cool. You got yourself one cool dad Kick" said April.
"I guess you can say, he's the dad I always dreamed of. He might not be the pantheons of daredevilry and stunts, but he's all I could ever ask for" said Kick.
"And what about that ghost chic Ember? Is she like a mom figure to you?" asked Scarlet.
"Ember, she's actually nice. She's not as extreme as my old mom was, but she does get awesome when she's being a hero. She can ride her guitar, enter some fiery form and the best part about her, is how nice her hugs and her words can be. I actually fell asleep when we both had a nice talk about what I did in Mellowbrook" said Kick.
They could see Kick blush in embarrassment. "There's more to this isn't there Kick?" asked April.
Kick sighs. "Okay, okay. Don't let anyone else know about this, but she tends to sing to me when I sleep. It's almost like she enjoys having a kid like me to be her … Son. Even though she's not married to dad yet, she sees me and my four sisters as her own children and we see her as a true mom, she's nice that way, in her own way. At times she tells me to be careful or be safe when I do my stunts, I think she cares for my well-being, and she even tells me to take care with what I do."
"Aww!" said April and Scarlet.
"I never knew you can be so emotional Kick" said Scarlet.
"Yeah, this new family is changing you, for the better that is" said April.
"Yeah, sure wish this kind of stuff went with my old folks. Now I know when I gotta take it safe when I do something awesome, and all thanks to the Sharps" said Kick.
April and Scarlet end up hugging Kick. "If you ever need some friendly support, just call us" Scarlet hands Kick her number, and April does the same.
"Thanks girls, this means a lot" said Kick.
"Hey guys" They turn to see Gunther.
"Gunther! How was practice?" asked Kick.
"The best thing I have ever done! And son we will crush those Hazeltucky Hawkers!" then some thunder storms rage around Gunther. "Thy Odin's name we shall have victory!"
They remain silent at Gunther's words.
Gunther then returns to normal again. "So, you guys wanna have some lunch at the BattleSnax?"
They all look to each other. "Sure." They all head for the restaurant of Gunther's family.
"Also, I think Lynn Jr wants to train me" said Gunther.
"Wait what?" said Kick.
(Beacon Academy, Veil Remnant)
The Super Kirov comes out of the portal and is now over the school of Veil, or what's left of it.
Sienna Khan was shocked to see the destruction her White Fang group did to the place, and she can also see some Grimm being hunted down by an Allied strike force.
And at the top of Beacon Academy, she sees the large stoned Grimm Dragon.
"So, this is what Adam has done to the school of Veil. I cannot imagine how many lives were lost here" said Sienna.
"Do not fear Sienna. Perhaps you can dins clarity and solace while we are here. Now come on, there's someone here who might be pleased with your presence" said Gyro.
Sienna nods and she is teleported with Gyro to the ground level.
"Okay, I guess I'll just be here then" said Boomer. He then turns on his radio and plays the song from Carol, Becky, Dana and Ember, "Black Magic."
At ground level Glynda Goodwitch and the Allied forces are still cleaning up any remaining straggler Grimm's. Then she sees the Super Kirov and a glowing light, Gyro appears with someone Glynda has heard about.
Glynda didn't quite feel pleased to see her there. "So, you brought Sienna Khan here. Why?"
Gyro looks to Sienna and insists her to speak to the teacher of Beacon.
"Ms. Goodwitch, I am Sienna Khan. Or just Sienna, I am the former leader of the White Fang who were responsible for the heinous attack on Beacon Academy, but I ordered no such attack upon this place, I would never invoke an attack unless I had a reason."
"I know that my presence here is not going to make things any better, but I just want to know if you would forgive me for what my people did. They were influenced by the words of Adam Taurus, who was one of my best warriors, I never knew he would bring our own clan to come here and bring ruin. Please great Huntress, forgive me and my misunderstood group for what they did, but I understand if you still show hatred for everything."
Glynda Goodwitch could tell that she feels guilt and remorse for what her people did. "Sienna, what happened here at Beacon was the most disastrous thing ever to have happened."
Those words were hitting Sienna hard in her chest.
"But, I know that you had nothing to do with everything that has happened here. And for that, I forgive you, but the people of Remnant won't be so easy to convince" said Goodwitch.
"I know, but I do believe with what we're planning to do at Mistral could be able to show the world that the White Fang can be changed and I intend to change them as well. But if the people of Remnant cannot see that, then perhaps it will be time to find a new purpose for the White Fang, a purpose not for this world" said Sienna.
Goodwitch nods and offers her hand. "Whatever happens at Mistral and Haven Academy, I will do what I can to voice out my words to the rest of Remnant."
Sienna smiles and shakes her hand. "Thank you Ms. Goodwitch, thank you."
Gyro was happy to see that there is peace between one from beacon and one from the White Fang and he knows it's gonna be a long and hard road for the White Fang to be seen as a changed organization, but with Sienna Khan's new perspective on things, they could make it happen.
Then Penny flies in. "Hey Gyro, I was just here to- Oh! Hello Sienna, what brings you here?"
They all chuckle at her sudden presence. "Perhaps we should discuss more, with some tea?" asked Goodwitch.
"Couldn't have said it better myself" said Sienna. They all head to the Construction yard for some tea.
"Seriously. What did I miss?" asked Penny.
To be continued …..
A/N: I thought it would be a good idea to bring up Scarlet and April for this chapter, as well as how Kick sees his new family and bringing some redemption for Sienna Khan and everything the White Fang has done. Come tomorrow is our Pink-Hatted kid's birthday. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
