Enjoy reading this everyone.

Spells and Louds.
Chapter 922: A birthday, but trouble still around.

(March 15. The Loud House.)

A birthday is being made and being celebrated for the 7th birthday of Lisa Loud, and she is enjoying this small and casual birthday party, which is outer space themed and she appreciates how her family made this happen, but she does notice some who aren't there.

Lisa looks around and sees all of the guests are enjoying the food, the games and pretty much a lot of stuff, and Lisa can see those who were once Louds have attended the whole event for her, but Lincoln and Luna are unaccounted for, and she knows why and this saddens her.

Lisa sighs, but she does what she can to enjoy this day, but this does get the attention of Lana, Lola and Lucy. "Are you alright with the party Lisa? We made it as nice and smart as you" replied Lola.

"You think we should've asked those FutureTech guys if they had an actual space ship?" asked Lana. "It would've made this place even better for..."

"Out of the question girls" replied Lucy. She then goes over to Lisa and speaks to her. "Lisa, I know something is wrong, and you have to tell me. What is it sis?"

Lisa sighs and she tells her Goth sister. "Is it that obvious? Well, we are currently missing two party guests, they haven't bothered to show up and celebrate this day with me, and it feels like they shouldn't be left out and it would feel nice for them to come over."

"But they have been through some bad times, bad times that are not easy for them to get over. I was hoping they'd be fine and perhaps some time with us would clear their thoughts of what Luna went through and what Lincoln nearly lost."

Lucy sighs and she places her hands onto the shoulders of Lisa. "I also feel the pain you are feeling, Lisa. But we have to let them do their own thing, they need to cope their own way and we must respect their choice in this. When the time comes, then perhaps they might come over and spend some time with us, alright Lisa?"

Lisa nods. "Yes, I understand." she then goes over with her sisters to have some fun here, while Neil, Gwen, Rita, Lynn Sr and Michelle overhear this and Neil is upset as the others are.

"Lisa doesn't know what kind of mental ordeals the mother and son at the Spellman Lewis mansion are feeling, and it hasn't faded, but chances it will once we find those bastards."

Rita is also upset from this. I didn't think something like this would happen to Luna, and for Lincoln to be enraged and scared of losing her reminds me of how much he relied on Luna for comfort and a warm hug back when they were very young."

"He still does" replied Gwen. "He loves her, and he doesn't wanna lose his mother, formerly his sister. The brother and sister bond turned into something else, and makes them feel like they are a mother and son, and the plans to live together as such is still in motion, but what Luna nearly got caught into... That is something we all didn't see coming."

"Glad Lincoln used his hellhound traits to track down Luna. The others might not have been able to find evidence or use tech to find her, but Lincoln did" replied Michelle. "Which means he is getting stronger, and far more dangerous than we expected."

"The whole hellhound powers from Lincoln is something I didn't see coming and it kinda scares me" replied Lynn Sr.

"Man up, Lynnard" replied Neil. "Don't go panicking and thinking he would lose himself to these hellhound traits, because he is strong enough to counter such feral state. Right now, I just hope some mother and son time could help them both."

(Spellman-Lewis Estate.)

This is where Lincoln and Luna are, and the duo are both practicing with their powers and weapons, and they have setup some targets and are trying to see who can ace the shots, they are the only ones there besides the Pokémon companions they have and the Netherdrake inside of the mansion.

Lincoln then uses his Shredder Blaster, and he nails the bullseye with the targets, and this makes him proud. "Let's see you try that mom."

Luna smirks. "Alright then, kiddo." she summons an ice bow and arrow and she launches it as her eyes are closed, and it pierces through the target. "Looks like I did it better, Linc."

"Then let me make it into a total and literal challenge." Lincoln closes his eyes and he blindfolds himself, and he turns his shredder blaster into his shredder pistols and he goes rapid fire and shoots one blast onto eight targets, and they all hit the center.

Luna is impressed by what her son did and she claps. Lincoln removes the blindfold and he sees what he did. "Awesome." He then looks towards Luna. "You think you can do something like that, mom?"

Luna smirks and then she summons some icicles floating on her hand. "This is gonna get impressive and wicked awesome." She then has her back turned and she is blindfolded and her eyes are closed, and she sends the icicles behind her and they fly towards the targets and they nail the center of what they wanna hit.

Luna removes the blindfold, opens her eyes and turns around. "Dang, looks like we're both impressive and dangerously accurate."

Lincoln smirks. "Yup, we have been quite enhanced and well burst with traits, skills and powers throughout the ordeals we have been through..." Then his smirk fades away. "But, after what you almost went through... That was different and it... Was scary and, I don't know what I would do if you were gone, mom."

Luna knows what her son is talking about and she goes over and she hugs him. "I get where you're pointing at, but don't worry kiddo. What happened is over, and we're together again and that is that. Nothing bad will come to us, and if something does, then we're going to make sure they never ever comeback."

Lincoln doesn't depart from the hug and they continue to have this moment, and not knowing that the Crypt Lord Anub'Arak sees this and he is less than amused after what had gone down days ago. He then turns around and sees his undead Nerubian Warriors.

"Listen to me now my warriors of the Nerubian Scourge, you shall all deploy a wide perimeter around the Town, and ensure it reaches towards the border between Royal Woods and Great Lakes City. Remain within the grounds and should trouble arise, alert to me at once and I shall handle the situation, personally."

All the Crypt fiends nod. "Yes master." They then tunnel into the earth, along with some Undead Nerubian Scarabs, and this leaves the Crypt Lord alone, and he watches onward to the embracing moment between Mother and Son.

'Do not worry Undead Frost Queen, when the time comes and when they have found this society of crime who tried to take you. We shall make them fear the meaning of cold, frozen death!'

(Time skip, night time. The Royal Fortress.)

Night has fallen and Martin, Victor and Jack Cyber are still going through tracking down the remaining lords of the damned criminal syndicate of sex slavery and human trafficking, and they are not alone. Soundwave is there and is doing his best as he hacks the system and communications to find these people.

They are hard at work and still searchin for this dreaded criminal group and they have been doing their best, and at times they take breaks, but sometimes they stay up and continue the hunt, and yet nothing. They also have some backup from above the planet, and that would be Phasesmith Karax, he came through and is helpin them and even he is having it hard and this is a first for a protoss.

"Guys, we have been searching for some time and yet no luck." Victor passes some coffee to Martin and Jack Cyber. "We haven't found any trace of anything and all we are getting are dead ends that lead to nothing, what the hell are we missing?"

Soundwave then speaks. "The capabilities of this group to hide from the sensors and communications relays is something I did not think would be possible for others, but then again they might be in possession of some shattered prototype technology from the no longer existing Incognito Labs."

"Then we keep searching" replied Martin, he then drinks his coffee and he eats a donut. "We do not stop till we find something, anything on your end Tannins?"

The sinner Tannins appears on the main screen and she is hard at her work. "No trace, yet. But I have been piecing something that would surprise and be an interest to us. Apparently, there is a form of misleading communications within the system and no doubt this is the group we have been looking for and I am doing my best to dial in on decoding what they are hiding, and perhaps I will get results on where they are located."

"That is a dang good enough lead" replied Jack Cyber. "Thanks for the info and..." The screens soon glitch out. "Whoa, whoa. What the hell is this?"

Tannins. "Are you getting this as well? I don't know what is happening, it seems like someone is within the system."

Martin checks his phone and tablet and they are fine. "Our mobile and other small devices are fine, it's the mainframe and computers who are..." then a purple digital skull logo reveals and they know who it is. "Sombra, she has arrived."

"Seriously?" asked Soundwave. "What took her so long to not even arrive and aid us in this search?"

The screen splits and they can still see Tannins, but they also see Sombra. "Hola, mi amigos. Missed me?"

"What the hell are you doing Sombra?" asked Victor.

"Calm down, dude" replied Sombra. "I got the message that you sent about this crime syndicate that has gone into hiding, and I found them, they are also using some pretty old and yet almost advanced tech from Incognito Labs to cloak themselves from everyone's eyes, but I managed to crack it down before the sinner could."

Tannins is not amused to hear this. "I am still here, Sombra and I can hear you."

"Enough." Martin then asks. "Sombra, do you have their coordinates?"

Sombra smirks. "Of course." She then shows them the location. "Also, I am going to help in this strike. I can shut down their defenses, and neutralize the cloaking field they have, and through this you can all manage your way through and break them down. Also, there are some people in there, and are not a part of these bastards."

This is something that enlightens the FutureTech men. "Sombra, this is awesome!" said Victor. "We can be able to make the hit and knock them when they least to have expect it. Are they aware that they're location has been discovered?"

Sombra smirks. "Nope. I made sure that they are literally oblivious to what is going on, also I expect some small compensation when this is over, my friends."

"You will get the payment, I assure you." Martin then looks to Tannins. "You helped out in this and we will give you what you demanded, Tannins." He then looks to Soundwave. "Contact Karax and tell him we have found the bastards, and also contact the other Royal Defenders. We attack at the crack of dawn!"

To be continued in the next chapter.

A/N: The found them, well Sombra found them and the next chapter is where the conflict ignites, oh and Happy birthday Lisa Loud. I hope you all enjoyed reading this new chapter and be ready for what comes in the next chapter.
