Helluva Loud Adventures.
"Return to wretched Loch Loud."
(Somewhere at Loch Loud.)
Welcome back to Loch Loud, the home of the Louds of royalty from long ago, and a land that doesn't seem well-known around the world, and a land where they finally have a Duke because apparently they don't even know how to fix small things going around their own community, a bunch of wankers.
But we're gonna go to a location far from the castle, a large cottage by the side of the land and overlooking the clear blue waters, this is the home of the former castle keeper, Morag and she is already packed up and ready for what she has to do.
"Alright, my clothes are here and all of my belongings." she then sees the large pile of suitcases. "Perhaps I should've packed light and smart." She then looks out the window and she sees something, a portal has been opened and it opened with red, blue and fiery green energy. "Oh, that must be for me."
Morag then opens the door and at the same time some figures come through the portal and the folks are: Lincoln, Loona, Luna, Lucy, EveLynn, Vark, Niffty, Octavia and Athena.
The sinner sister of Tannins looks around the place. "Wow. This place is so green and calm, this land needs some explosions, or a party club at least. That would be so fucking better." she then sees the castle of Loud. "Huh, lame. Lucifer's seemed better, taller and had more color."
Octavia smirks. "No fucking kidding, though I live in a palace too and it has livelier meaning as well." She then sees someone. "There's Morag." So, they all go over to greet her.
"Hello and good day friends, glad you all came on time." Morag then shakes hands with Lincoln. "Thank you again for suggesting I'd live someplace else and not in this rift raft of a land. The very last name is just a pungent odor for me."
Lincoln chuckles. "Yeah, no kidding. Alright, so where's all of your stuff?"
"They are all inside, and I perhaps should've packed light, I may have packed a little too much" replied Morag nervously. "Is that fine?"
EveLynn cracks her knuckles. "Bring. It. On, and those words are from WWE!" she then races to the large cottage to get the things of Morag, and she is followed by Luna, Niffty, Vark and Athena.
Morag then looks to the others. "So, I have a place to stay back in Royal Woods Michigan? Also, does that portal lead to the land itself?"
Loona answers that one. "The place where you will be staying is the home of the girlfriend of my son, the mansion of the Rosato's, and they have an extra room for you to stay in. They could use a house keeper, er mansion keeper. Is that a thing?"
Luna chuckles. "Dude, you are gonna love being part of that gig and no loud noise. They do have a dog, and he'll be alright with you. Might not be a castle, but surely it would do."
Morag smiled hearing this. "Well, that does sound lovely and as long as there is nothing to do with loud involved, then I am alright with it. Also, because it is a mansion, there isn't much to clean and it isn't too big for me to handle. That castle on the other hand named Loud is a hard time keeping everything in order."
Lucy smirks. "Be glad that Jordan Rosato, the only daughter of the family is not a troublesome girl, yet she is tough and can handle on her own, oh and that portal leads to Lucifer's palace, and then we will open the portal to Royal Woods, Michigan."
Morag smirks. "Now that sounds splendid to know, and I cannot wait to meet the..." she then realizes what Lucy had said. "Wait a minute, little Goth girl. What was that about Lucifer's palace through the portal?"
Just then, they hear a loud roaring sound and they all see the guardian dragon of the land, Lela. Morag sighs. "I'm gonna go and see if the others need some help." She then gets back to her cottage and she helps carry the stuff she packed.
Leaving Lincoln, Luna, Loona, Lucy and Octavia to deal with what the others want, and the Guardian Dragon Lela lands down, and she has some folks onboard. Duke Angus, and the Royal Ghostly Louds. They all get down from the beast and then go over to the folks from the other country.
Duke Angus feels happy to see them again. "So good to see you lot back here again at good old, Loch Loud and..."
"Can it with the good greetings, dumbass" said Loona. She seems stern and serious. "What the fuck do you and these paranormal activity rejects want with us?"
Duke Angus is startled by this, and then the ghostly royal matriarch intervenes. "Ms. Silva Hound, please... We just wish to speak to you about..."
Loona then gets in front of the ghost and she growls, and this silences the ghost, and she can see the fire and fry within the eyes of the hellhound piercing through her ethereal form. "One more fucking word out of you, and I will tear you apart!"
Lucy then speaks. "We can make that happen, a special spell that could allow someone to literally touch and beat the living snot out of any ghost."
Octavia has her spell book ready. "Anyone wanna try that out now?"
Duke Angus then intervenes. "Everyone, stop." He then takes the time to calm down and then he speaks. "As the Duke of Loch Loud in this modern time, it is my duty to take charge and deal with the situation." He then looks towards the group from Royal Woods.
"Folks, I am deeply sorry for my actions into making your son the Duke, and also I am sorry for the way these ghosts have been with the small talks you lot had during that spring break and I am truly sorry that you all couldn't have a great spring break. We should've known better, but we put the sake of our town and not listen to the words of choices you had."
The ghosts are surprised by those words and then Lucille speaks. "Angus, what in the devil are you doing? We were supposed to talk to them about the whole problem with removing the curse and..."
"I am getting to that, please hold your spectral tongue, Ms. Lucille Loud." Duke Angus then looks to the others. "I understand that you would all rather forget and leave away the past from which is called Loud, and that the last name is nothing to you all, and I can accept that and let you folks be with your lives, and accept that you all don't want to come back here."
"I guess, I should step up and be a more understanding Duke and try to fix a situation through some good morale and teaching. Because I can see that the times have changed, and leaders don't have to always do the hard work, when clearly the community can handle that on their own and I can also see what you all mean... The folks I have come to know, they don't know how to handle some problems on their own."
Lincoln is confused. "Wait, what the heck happened?"
Duke Angus then informs them. "Well, last week they didn't know what to do with the broken fence from the sheep and even though we managed to herd them all. The fence was an easy fix, they just didn't know how to fix it right because of angles and measurements. Honestly, I felt dumbfounded, and it seemed like everyone..."
"Are total dunces?" asked Luna as she crosses her arms.
Duke Angus didn't wanna say she was right. "Yeah, right on that lass." He then continues. "The rest of the townsfolk just didn't seem like they knew what they were doing, almost like having a Duke around makes them feel like they have all the help they need. I mean, they can handle some of the stuff on their own and it is as confusing as to why they tend to ask me for some help. I am so lost right now."
Octavia scoffs. "The folks of Loch Loud don't have much of a brain span because they are the bloodline of the folks who once lived in these lands, those folks have undergone total depression and less appealing nature due to the loss of their Duke and royal family, and so they passed on this hopeless and stupid cycle to this generation."
Loona smirks. "Generation of Loch Loud retards." She then high fives and fist bumps with her kids.
Lincoln then walks up towards Duke Angus. "Sir, I am glad you now see the real issue at hand. You wanna be a good Duke, well the times of the old rulers have come to pass and we need to adapt and change. So, what kind of a Duke will you be?"
Duke Angus nods and he seems stern. "The kind of Duke who will take charge, and show some support and teach the folks on what they need to do. I cannot be the only one doing the work, they have to do something as well, and so... I will be that leader, for the sake of this land, and perhaps... Perhaps this land, needs a new name too."
This shocks the ghosts, and the ghostly Duke speaks. "Wait, what?! By the stars, Angus what are you doing?!"
Duke Angus looks to the ghosts. "Changing for the better, sorry to be much of a lesser person for your time, but this is a new era and the ages from when you lot have been around is long gone and the Silva Hounds and the others are right... We need to change, and adapt and... I need to become a better leader."
Duke Angus then looks to the group. "Please, remove the curse from our land and everything will be changed in our home known as, Loch Draco." That name alarms Lela, a name she didn't think would've been for this, but this makes the other smile and then Octavia speaks.
"Now that makes perfect sense, since Lela here is the guardian dragon of the lands and the royal louds just ruled it, but they never ever did held the defend or reinforce this place. It did took louds to get the guardian dragon to come to life, but there could be other ways for that to happen."
Duke Angus nods. "Seemed right, since Lela is the next guardian dragon and soon, one day she will lay another egg and then a new dragon will come."
"Hermaphrodites" replied Lincoln. "A way for someone to give birth or lay an egg without having sex, sounds like a tremors aftershock thing." He then looks towards Lucy and Octavia and he nods and so they ready they're spell book and then he looks to the Duke. "We'll remove the curses..."
Luna then speaks. "But on one condition..."
The ghostly Duke then speaks. "Please, stop. Don't do this, we don't wish to pass..."
Lucy interrupts him. "We will allow the curses to be removed, in return the ghosts from before have to be removed and pass on. The new Duke is here, and he is willing to change and become a better Duke than the previous ages of old, and as the saying goes..."
Duke Angus knows what she means. "We can keep memories of the past, but we cannot let it linger around too much. Sometimes, you need to let the past die and move onward and don't ever look back." He then calms down. "As the new Duke of Loch Draco, I accept this condition... You may proceed."
This horrifies the ghostly royal louds.
"What in the blazes have you done?!"
"Do you realize what will happen if we're not around?!"
"Don't do this to us! We're sorry for our words and what we spoke last month!"
The ghostly patriarch speaks to Angus. "Angus, don't do this, please! We don't wish to leave just yet, we wish to stay longer and..."
They then see the stern look from the Duke of this newly renamed land. "I do believe that you lot have overstayed your welcome here, and are hereby relieved of your rights and duties to this land." Duke Angus then has a large book and he reads it.
"Says, that the guardian dragon is the one who chooses to relinquish the beings of the land to leave and never return. Let them be living or dead, mortal or immortal. Common folks, or rich folks, the people of this world or the ghost from the other, and you lot have no power to make any demands here."
Lucy smirks. "Alright, let's make this shit happen." She then opens her book and she recites an incantation and so does Octavia Ars Goetia. A fiery glow is now surrounding them both and then a beacon of light emerges from the sky and is right above them, and it continues to glow ominously above the ghostly royal louds of old.
Duke Angus sighs and he looks towards the ghosts. "As the Duke of this land, and under the agreement of the guardian dragon..." he looks towards Lela and the dragon nods and then looks towards the ghosts sternly and hisses. "You ghosts are no longer needed at the castle or this land and must pass on."
The ghostly louds are horrified by this and some of them try to beg and plead with Duke Angus and the Guardian dragon, and this enraged Lucille. She then glows into a near fiery red and she is pissed off. "You might be the duke, but I am the most powerful magical being in all of the..."
But then Lucy uses her book and a spell is made as the powers of the ghost are removed. "You were saying?"
Lucille is horrified by this. "No! This cannot be!" then the guardian dragon takes off and roars and her mouth is engulfed in flames, and the others headed to the portal with all of Morag's stuff see this and look in awe, and so Athena takes a video of this and Morag is amazed.
"What the ancestors of me is going on? Wait, are the ghosts being sent off?"
The guardian dragon Lela then blasts fire around the ghosts, keeping them pinned and then it spirals upwards with the dragon flying and even the folks from the village can see this and what happens surprises them... the ghostly royal louds are slowly going up and they can't stop this vacuum headed to the sky, and they cry in fear.
"No! No! Don't let us go yet! We have much to do, and with this new timeline as well!"
"This is not supposed to happen, don't let us leave this land yet! We're begging you!"
"You can't do this to us, we are the royal louds of old and this should always be our land!"
"Lucy! Stop, please. We're sorry, let us go. We won't bother you anymore, we promise!"
"Brother, please reason with them! Don't let them do this!"
The Ghostly Duke is about to speak, but then Lincoln holds his hand before he takes off and he sees the stern look from Lincoln Silva Hound and his eyes now colored as his mothers. "Please... Lincoln, don't do this to us, lad."
Lincoln growls. "Let. The past. Die."
Lincoln then let's go, and the ghosts watch in horror as they are all pulled upwards into the sky, to pass on and never return to the world of the living, and only bear watch from above as nothing more than mere fragments of what was once the loud name, from the past and not to linger in the world of the living today.
Everyone watches as the ghosts are headed to the light in the sky above, and some of them just continue to cry, beg and weep to not be taken away just yet, but Duke Angus stands tall on his verdict and so does the guardian dragon, Lela who looks a little bigger than before.
The ghosts are soon gone and so is the fiery tornado from the guardian dragon and then Lucy and Octavia read from the book and the grass around the land glows, and a red ominous sphere around the land has faded, which no one even knew was there.
Octavia then looks towards Duke Angus. "There, the curses we have left behind have been lifted and we are never ever coming back here ever again, despite the total name change." she then heads back towards the portal. Lucy then follows as well, and then the others who are carrying Morag's stuff.
Duke Angus then watches them leave, and then he looks towards Morag and she looks back towards Duke Angus. "Good luck to you and the new life you see, Morag."
The former castle keeper nods and she speaks. "Good luck to you in being the Duke of this land, Angus." She then takes her leave through the portal and then Lincoln, Luna and Loona follow suite, and the portal closes, thus leaving Duke Angus and the guardian dragon Lela alone, and then they look to the castle.
"Was all for the best." Duke Angus then pets the head of the guardian dragon. "Alright, Lela. Let's get back to the castle and continue with our lives, in making sure that this land and the people have a leader and one heck of a dragon."
Lela nods and she allows Duke Angus to ride on her back and they take off back to the castle and to the good folks of a town that will be renamed, and ready to tell them that all is well and change is coming and for the better too.
"To be continued in the next chapter folks!"
A/N: Well, that ends that bit and they are not ever coming back to that land ever again, and a good riddance too. Next chapter, is going to see how Morag will handle living her new life and job in Royal Woods Michigan. I hope you all enjoyed reading this new chapter folks!
