Chapter 410: Clyde's date and a spotlight
(McBride home.)
Clyde takes a deep breath and he looks to himself in the mirror in his bathroom. 'Okay Clyde, just calm down. This is your first date with Chloe, but not your first date with a girl. Because I had that long ago with Penelope, or was it in a dream I had with Lori. No! They are the past and this is the now and soon to be future, so focus and don't screw up. My friends will have my back and things won't go wrong. I got this!'
Clyde then looks to himself, he sees the light blue suit, pants and black shoes he's wearing and he smiles. "Okay, now it's time to get out there and make this night the best night Chloe has got, even though this is the first night of our time." Petilil cheers and snuggles onto him.
Clyde then sees his two cats, Purrsephone and Cleopawtra and he pets their heads. "Later girls, I got a date to go to!" He walks out of his room with the two cats following, he then looks to the living room and sees his dads are about to check what's on TV.
And just as he heads down the TV finally shows what he was expecting. A full on marathon of the last year's season of Antique brothers. "Oh! The season we missed! So glad I made popcorn!" said Howard.
Clyde sighs and he heads down the stairs and is about to head out of the door. "Clyde? Where are you going?" asked Harold.
Clyde turns around. "Umm, on a date with Chloe Curda." Petilil hides behind Clyde.
Harold was about to say something, but something on the TV catches his attention. "Oh! They're about to make the bid on that vintage record player!"
"Have fun Clyde and be careful, call us if something is wrong and we hope that whatever you have planned will work" said Howard.
Clyde smiles, but is also confused. 'How the heck do they know about what I might have planned? Maybe they're changing for my well-being.' Clyde then walks out of the house, and he heads to his bike with his Pokemon riding on his head.
Clyde then rides off to the home of Chloe Curda, which is a few streets away and he sees her waiting outside. Wearing a black magenta skirt with a pink belt around her waist, black slip-on shoes and white socks and she has her signature beret and white pearl earrings. "Hi Clyde." With her is her Pokemon, Minccino.
Clyde snaps out of his daze. "Hey Chloe, you umm … You ready for this date of ours?"
Chloe giggles at how nervous he is and she hops onto her pink bike. "I am, also nice bike. Did your dad's get you that one?" Clyde's bike is yellow with a few blue stripes on some areas.
"Y-Yeah, they thought I needed a new bike since they need the tandem bike for when they spend their own outdoor time" replied Clyde.
"Well that is nice of them, and maybe next time you and I can ride the tandem and have our own outdoor time" said Chloe.
Clyde chuckles and could only imagine how that would go, he imagines himself and Chloe in Ketcham Park riding the tandem bike and laughing as they ride pass some leaves.
Clyde then snaps out of his imagination. "Huh, oh we should head on to our date now."
"Okay, so where the heck are we going for tonight? Some place fancy?" asked Chloe.
"Y-Yeah. Come on." Clyde leads the way as they both with their Pokemon as well, head away from Chloe's house and straight for town, but unknown to them that the others are watching over them and who do I mean by the others?
Lincoln and Linka in the skies, watching over them on their Netherdrake mounts Nel'Thorious and Shall'Cross. Lincoln uses his walkie talkie. "We got a visual on McBride and Curda and they are inbound."
Linka uses her walkie talkie. "How is everyone else? Sound call guys."
Jordan and Dominic are traversing from the far cliff sides outside of town and merged into Vulture Bike armor. "We see them and we're going to continue with patrols outside of town." She then races off with her Indoraptor.
"This is Rusty here and with Flat Tire and Richie, we see them pass by us and we are going to try and keep track of them, but not too close" replied Rusty. He, Richie and Flat Tire head off to follow them, but not too far.
"This is Tabby here. Liam and me are both up and surveying on the Royal Woods Water Tower" said Tabby. She and Tabby are on the tall water tower and with some snacks in case they get hungry.
"This is the gal crew of Rosato and we are standing by at Jean-Juan's with our guys" said Kat. She's with Joy and Cookie and also with them are Trent, Lance and Artie.
"We're waiting for them to arrive and when they do then we'll go into the place. This sounds like a date and survey kinda thing to us" said Lance.
"This is Jenny, Christina and I are at the mall and awaiting the arrival of Clyde and Chloe when they finish their dinner date, also we did some shopping too" replied Jenny. She and Christina have shopping bags and are waiting by the fountain. "We'll keep waiting."
"This is Stella, Zach and I alongside Giggles are hovering above the town and keeping an eye on the McBride house!" said Stella.
Stella, Zach and Giggles are all riding on a Stealth mode Medivac Dropship and keeping an eye on the McBride house for any movement. Zach seems to be enjoying this ride.
"This is like being in an alien ship, even though it's not, sorta" replied Zach.
"Wow. Everyone looks like ants form up here, or a playhouse area where the kid comes in and wreck the place" replied Giggles. "So we best play clear of this zone!" She and Zach chuckle and Stella sighs in annoyance.
"Sure is a shame that Sadie and Mollie couldn't be here. But they have something else to do" replied Linka.
"Let's be glad we have some help. Now, let's keep track of Clyde and Chloe and make sure they're date goes onward with little to know problems" replied Lincoln.
(Later.)
Clyde and Chloe soon make it to the destination. "Oh, Jean-Juan's. I've never been here, and neither has anyone else in my family since we moved, looks like I'm the first" said Chloe.
Clyde is confused. "You're parents and baby sister were here for all the summer and they haven't been here?"
"They were busy with some other things, and they didn't have time to check out some of the restaurants. I could suggest we could go to one next time" replied Chloe. "Now come on, let's go and have some night time dinner fun."
They both park their bikes nearby and enter the restaurant. While coming out from an alley are the gals and guys. Kat, Trent, Artie, Cookie, Joy and Lance. They then check the camera in the restaurant and see that Clyde and Chloe are headed to their table, alongside their Pokemon.
"Okay, looks like they're headed to their table, let's head on in now" said Cookie. They all head into the restaurant, while the others on the outside are just going to hang around and wait.
"Eyes up guys and gals, we gotta keep an eyes on things should there be any trouble" replied Lincoln. He and his sister, Linka are now sitting with their Netherdrakes above Boomer's Super Kirov Airship.
"We're gonna have to wait, so be patient and remember, this is for Clyde and his love life and we cannot just let him down and watch him just become a mess" said Linka.
"What the heck are you guys doing up there?" They both look down to see Boomer cleaning the propeller blade to his airship. "Seriously, what the hell are you guys doing here?"
(Inside of Jean Juan's.)
Clyde and Chloe both ordered the Beef and Nacho chips with cheesy dip. "So, anything else we should talk about?" asked Chloe. Their Pokemon are eating their own food, with a mixture of Pokemon food.
"Well, I don't really know. We both know so much about each other since Summer Camp and I don't have any more secrets to tell you" replied Clyde.
"True, you did tell me about the girl you used to date and that it didn't work out and also that you had a crush on Lincoln's former sister Lori and thought that Haiku was the one, you certainly have an odd romantic life McBride" replied Chloe.
Clyde sighs. "I know, it's just been so hard to find that certain someone who would understand me and know that deep down I have issues that I need to get a grip on. Penelope was no luck since she was more like my dad's, Lori is a lost cause for me since she's older and has her own life to deal with and Haiku just freaks me out and I think she might have a boy on her mind, I think his name was Elias."
Chloe places her hand onto his and holds it, this makes Clyde blush and look towards her. "Clyde, I don't wanna be the one gal that would disappoint you. But we both have to understand each other and find some way to fully understand how we both feel."
"I wanna be the one gal that could help you through and through and be the one to make you feel like you're not weak and that everything that worries you, is nothing more than an obstacle to climb over, with someone by your side" replied Chloe.
Clyde smiles hearing that and so does Chloe. The others see this and they thought it was so romantic. They know each other pretty well, and now both are going to try and find an understanding to each other and the life they might have.
(Later.)
Clyde and Chloe finish their meal and Clyde pays for both of them and both of them head out of the restaurant. "So, where to on this small date of ours Clyde?" asked Chloe. They both get onto their bikes.
"Well, the next stop is a nice check out on the places that sell the finest of all cooking utensils and things and perhaps see if they have any cook books we could check out. What do you say Chloe?" said Clyde.
"Well I say, race ya!" Chloe races off and this makes Clyde smirk.
"Oh, it is on!" He then races after his date and they both have fun with the night and what might bring.
The rest of their friends keep track and follow them. The guys and gals from the restaurant were given the permission to head on home, they did their part and so it's time for the rest to handle this.
"Looks like this night is turning well for them" replied Lincoln. He then hears Jordan's voice over the comm link.
"You and I should go on a date next time. Some place where we can share as much emotions and make outs. How about it handsome?"
The others hear this and chuckle, Lincoln also chuckles. "This night keeps getting better and better."
(Star Killer Base.)
Hollow goes down the halls, and with him are Mephisto and Praxina. They then enter the main throne room and see the girl who wanted to see her. "Orphea, and what do I owe this visit for the girl who runs the Nexus?" asked Hollow.
"You have been chosen Hollow Cabal, chosen by the representatives of the Nexus to be part of, Heroes of the Storm" replied Orphea.
This shocks him and he looks to Mephisto and Praxina. "Leave us, now." They both nod and head out of the throne room and leave their master be as he closes the door. He then looks back to the Heir of Raven Court. "So, do I have a Hero Spotlight in Heroes of the Storm?"
"Yes, yes you do" replied Orphea. "The beings of the realms have been keeping a watch on you and ever since the many fights and that stupid one where that bastard of an idiot Snoke died, you have been given a chance to fight amongst the heroes and villains of the Nexus."
Hollow thinks about this and then he turns off his helmet and smiles. "Let's see my Hero Spotlight then."
Orphea then deploys a holographic illusion from a device and it shows the spotlight of Hollow, with the narrative voice of Kevin from the Heroes of the Storm Deviation Team from Blizzard Entertainment.
Kevin: For nearly centuries, the Force has been a power that can only be harnessed by the most powerful and responsible of Jedi or Sith. But then came one boy who was chosen to be the padawan within the Jedi temple, the boy who was chosen and found by Jedi Master Mace Windu.
But after the scourge of order 66, this child fled and grew to become a mercenary, but fate came to him once more when he encountered Darth Vader in his adult age and soon he was chosen to be the apprentice to the Sith Lord himself.
He was taught on the many ways of how the force would work and soon rose to become superior and when his master fell to his demise, Hollow sought out a new path to eternal glory and to rebuild the empire into something that wasn't forged from Palpatine.
With an alliance with the Battleborn and the Guardian, Gyro, Hollow Cabal has reforged the Galactic Empire into the Jennerit Galactic Empire and became a sole and powerful being that represents a part of the Immortal Council and ardent defender to the Realms and an assist to the Royal Defenders.
Now, he's stepping into the Nexus.
Name: Hollow, the Supreme Leader.
Role: Assassin (Melee and Range.)
Pros: Self-Sustain, Mobility, Critical Damage and Burst Damage.
Cons: Most Crowd Control, Slows, Stuns and Roots. (But with talents, he can become Deathwing level strong and become nearly unstoppable.)
Hollow's abilities:
Trait – Balance to the Force: As Hollow takes damage, he soon gathers all of the energy to manifest the full strength of his abilities, making him do even more damage to those who would dare to face this sith lord. When his force rage is at full, the ability he uses is doubled and does critical damage.
Q – Saber throw: Hollow throws his light sabre in front of him, the saber does damage to enemies in the path and double damage to enemies on the return to the master. Should Hollow step to another direction, then the light saber will follow his path. Once the Light Saber comes back, he heals himself depending on how many heroes his saber has hit.
Also, once he tosses his light saber, Hollow will enter range mode and use the force to damage enemies without giving them the indication he's hitting them.
W – Force dash: Hollow dashes in the target direction. The dash is short, but the dash extends when he dashes through walls and he may even damage enemies while dashing. This ability has 3 charges.
E – Saber deflection: This allows Hollow to use his light saber to deflect all enemy blasts at him and then send it to any of his enemies in the area, but when he hits them back they do double damage. This does critical damage should a melee enemy try to attack him in this state. Note that Hollow cannot attack or use his first ability in this defensive mode.
R1 – Mass Force Choke: Hollow targets a location, enemies in the location and raised into the air and take damage until the ability ends, note that Hollow is channeling which makes him vulnerable to attacks, but he can use his abilities while doing this.
R2 – The Death Star: Hollow calls down the Death star to blast a target location with massive effect of damage. Enemies in the very center take double damage, while enemies on the outer rim are slowed and silenced.
Kevin: Hollow is dangerous in-game and can be able to turn the tide of battle to his teammates favor but just be careful. Roots, Stuns, Slows and most Crowd Control can easily stop him in his tracks, so self-sustain and mobility are truly needed to keep him alive in the fight.
Though, Hollow has some talents to increase survivability and do some serious damage.
Talents (Examples.)
Ranging Force: Hollow's throw is extended and the heal doubles as it comes back, but not just that. When allies are hit by the light saber they too get healed for a small portion of enemies hit.
Deflect and Sustain: As Hollow takes hits while deflecting he heals himself and doubles the healing when the deflecting attacks hit the enemies back to them and also provides a speed boost to himself and his allies.
Fear my strike: This makes Hollow's Force Dash to fear enemies and slow them as he dashes through them and gives him two more charges to the dash ability and decrease the cool down to his ultimate.
Bring down the fleet: This makes Hollow call down his Super Star Destroyer to bombard enemies around his perimeter, similar to Jim Raynor's Fleet Ultimate.
Orbital Strike: When Hollow uses the Death Star Ultimate, it comes down with an orbital strike on the number of heroes who took hits from the Death Star and each hit heals Hollow.
Mind delusions: Hollow uses this extra ability to do random effect to the enemy, these random things are debuffs: Slows, Stuns, Roots, Armor shred, decrease healing, silence, loss of vision or poison.
Range of the force: An extra ability that gives Hollow the ability to push an enemy away from him.
Might of Vader: This is a powerful talent at level 20. As Hollow keeps taking damage, the effect becomes permanent and all of his basic attacks and basic abilities do even more damage and also makes him immune to slows and stuns. This makes him a true Sith in nature.
Hollow Cabal will enter the Nexus soon. For the heroes of the Nexus bow down, the Sith Lord and Supreme Leader is coming.
Hollow's quote: There can only be one!
Orphea turns off the device and looks to Hollow. "So, what do you think? We made sure that all of your abilities would keep you in the same shape as you are when you use your powers of the force, and no you do not have the Infinity Gauntlet as you talent, otherwise that'd make you over powered and unfair to some of the heroes and villains."
Hollow is shocked at his spotlight. "That. Was. So, Awesome!"
Orphea chuckles and she shows him his Darth Vader Skin and Dominion Specter skin. "So, are you in?"
Hollow turns on his helmet and activates his red Light Saber. "Oh! Hell! Yeah!"
(Royal Woods, Curda Residence, past 10:30 PM.)
Clyde escorts his date Chloe back to her home. "Well, that was a nice date. Even though we didn't have the cash to get the cool looking utensils, I'm glad with what we have" said Chloe.
"Same here, and I'm happy we spent this night together and I'm happy we both met at summer camp too" said Clyde. "We were really good pals and team mates."
"Same here" replied Chloe. They then reach the door to her house and she leans her bike against the wall. "Well, I'll see you tomorrow and I hope we can have another date soon, one that does involve some cooking."
Clyde chuckles. "Yeah, but the cooking places aren't open at night and I don't think they do reserve lessons. But maybe we can have a date where we both make what we're gonna have for dinner or lunch."
Chloe smiles. "Now that sounds like an awesome idea. Well, thanks for tonight and ….. I'd like to see how this could work for us, even though a part of me can see …. Can see that it is."
Clyde is stunned and smiled from her words, then he's shocked even more when Chloe kisses his cheek. "See you tomorrow Clyde, good night."
Clyde smiles with a goofy and love dazed grin. "Y-Yeah, you two. G-Goodnight Chloe."
Chloe chuckles and she heads back into her house, Clyde sighs and looks up to see Lincoln and Linka flying. He gives them the thumbs up and he rides back home.
Lincoln uses his walkie talkie. "Okay, Jordan everything has gone good and you can head on home now."
Jordan smiles and replies. "Glad we let our friends head on home early. See you guys tomorrow and let's hope Clyde and Chloe can keep this relationship together, they're cute together." She and her Indoraptor then ride back home to the Rosato Residence.
Linka looks to Lincoln and both of them smile and high five. "Clyde and Chloe date, a success." They both fly back home, hoping that tomorrow tor the future, things will be awesome for Clyde and Chloe.
To be continued …..
A/N: Clyde's date went well and let's hope he has another one where he can ask Chloe the BF/GF question and Congratulations Lord Hollow Cabal! Welcome to Heroes of the Storm! And even though he didn't help with this, I would like to give some credit to my good pal Vasmasdas1 for the inspiration of Clyde and Chloe's date night, thanks man, you rock! Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
Also, screw Snoke! There, I said it, that guy sucks and I am never putting him back into "Spells and Louds" ever, ever, ever again! That guy is the worst villain I have ever seen! He's not a villain, he is a puppet and I am still waiting for more votes on anyone who wants me to remove the Snoke chapter so I can have something better placed on. PM or Review please.
This is for Heroes of the Storm and this is for Lord Hollow Cabal! Supreme Sith Lord Leader to the Jennerit Galactic Empire! He is awesome!
Date made: 8/2/20.
