The Celestial Loud Lord
Disclaimers I don't own the Loud House, they are the creative property of Chris Savino, the intellectual property of Nickelodeon, Viacom, and Paramount please support official releases.
Accordingly, Valkyrie Crusade is owned by the company Mynet Inc. and that's all there is I could find, besides another game which I'm having a hard time translating cause I have a hard time reading kanji, so please if you haven't give the game a try as it'd be more in dept and easy to follow for what this story is about to unfold.
And one more thing this will be but one of a few anthologies I'll be making, in what I hope to collaborate into a major crossover, but for now our story starts here, so brace yourself Loud Crowd.
Smartphones, you either love them, hate them, or switch sides every so often when a different company produces a model that intrigues you.
For whatever the reason, you can't deny their functions of various utilities be it flashlight when walking in the dark late at night when you're at home, the camera setting to take the perfect selfie, and obviously making calls.
Otherwise people generally use it to check and update their social media accounts, watch meme's and other internet celebs on web videos, and of course gaming.
So when looking within the Loud House, everyone has a reason to be on their smartphone.
For Lincoln that was mainly summed up in a lot of those things, but mainly gaming, as he was sitting on the couch with his sisters on their Smartphones and tablets.
"Leni, can you pass the charger cable" asked Lori as Leni, who never looked away from her phone, did so.
"Hey Luna, you saw that video of some guy on his motorcycle, having his friend play the guitar" asked Luan, "I did and thank you for sharing that with me" said Luna.
"Come on Lisa, you have a PHD, you can definitely figure out this puzzle in the next 3 moves" said Lisa as she was playing a puzzle game, before Lily took over and finished the rest of the level by herself.
"Thank you youngest sister, allow me to play that one video about those sharks singing" said Lisa.
As they continued to keep their eyes glued to the screen and somewhat socialize, Lincoln was downloading himself a new game.
"Hey girls, think you can lay your phones down for a minute, you're taking up the wifi" said Lincoln as his game was taking forever to download.
"Lincoln, everyone knows that the wifi doesn't slow down based on the number of devices, it only happens based on area, the service itself, or your game taking a lot of data to store" said Lori as everyone seemed to agree.
"I've been here sitting on my butt waiting for this game to download for like 5 minutes now and it's only about 40% done downloading" said Lincoln.
"Read a comic or play one of your other videogames to pass the time" said Lynn as she was looking at player stats of her favorite team.
"That's … actually not a bad idea, mind if I used the living room tv" asked Lincoln as his sisters didn't seem to mind.
As for the game he was downloading, it wasn't that one over hyped, over popular, and over rated TF2 and Overwatch clone of a shooter game.
It was a recommended game he saw on social media and when browsing similar games after spending hours upon hours on the game Cytus and its sequel Cytus II.
The game in question was called Valkyrie Crusade as it combines elements of card collecting, build your own town, lore and story mode, events, pvp, and guild wars, amongst many more in between.
So Lincoln was frustrated to know that he had to wait for a the game to finish download before he could play it, but at least he could play regular videogames for the time being.
Time Skip
Some time before dinner had started, Lincoln began to play the game and after going through the tutorial, he found the game to be relaxing, and the selection of characters of the cards he collected to be charming.
Though his sisters for the most part thought otherwise.
"Lincoln, what the hell are you playing" asked Lori, "The new game I was downloading all day, why" asked Lincoln innocently.
"Does mom and dad know you're playing a perverted game like this" said Lori as this got the rest of the sisters to circle around him.
"And what exactly makes this game perverted" asked Lincoln, "Hello, those 2 girls right there on the screen, you can clearly see their panties" said Lori as Lincoln's current roster of heroines aren't exactly the most modestly dressed.
"So, it's not like they're naked" argued Lincoln, before his sisters began to tackle and take his phone away to get a better look for themselves as to the game he was playing.
"Seriously bro, not cool" said Luna in disproval, "What's definitely not cool is that girls outfit, I mean her clothes are torn to pieces, plus she has that pick ax in her head" said Leni.
"Leni that's a zombie girl" said Lincoln, "Still that doesn't excuse her to walk around in public like that, and with a complexion like that, she can definitely get some pointers from Lucy" said Leni.
"Back to the subject at hand, Lincoln, what do you have to say for yourself" asked Lori, "That these girls in this game are a lot cuter and nicer than any of you guys have been to me" said Lincoln in the most sassiest way he can be.
Of course this sass wouldn't go unpunished as this wound up being a brawl to kick their brothers ass into a free for all as once a whole sibling fight started it was going to end in one way.
"Alright, kids that is enough" called Rita as the scene unfolded with the siblings in the midst of wrestling each other or holding a pose where they would've continued to lay a beat down.
"I want all of you to go to your rooms until dinner time and when you all get down here I want you all to leave whatever caused the fight in your rooms, are we clear" said Rita.
Jeering from being punished by their mothers, the Loud siblings obliged as they all went to their rooms, while also blaming Lincoln for starting it.
Now locked in his room in peace, Lincoln began to upgrade and adjust his team of maidens, consisting of a high normal Assassin who disposes her enemies under the cover of darkness, a normal Zombie, a high normal sharpshooter, who was supposably an ace super human sniper at long distance and accuracy that supposedly works alone.
While he had many more at his disposal, the last maiden he had by his side he liked the most was one named Griffin.
While looking nothing like the actual mythical creature, she was none the less a monster, a lonely timid monster, who will gladly fight until help arrives, more specifically her mother.
Donning a large poofy skirt, knee socks with red ribbon, she wore a red and black dress shirt, with puffed sleeves and straps going over her shoulder, a red choker and matching red ribbons she used to wear her twin tails.
Her hair was blonde, her eyes were light honey brown, as she had a lions tail and bat wings as her facial expression truly was timid that Lincoln wished he could protect her always.
It was information about these characters that made the game further intriguing as he continued to play the game for days to come, before he got a notification after returning to his kingdom.
"Do you wish to be the real Celestial Lord" Lincoln read out loud before seeing a yes or no option.
Not thinking much of it, Lincoln blindly accepted yes, with nothing happening as Lincoln continued to play his game in peace.
Unknown to him a pentagram emerged over his house as the presence of 4 beings began to emerge all over unknown to the Loud family.
The next day
Lincoln had stayed up late into the night, before calling it a day, but as he woke up he felt the presence of someone hugging him.
Opening his eyes, he felt the warm embrace of a girl, whom he never met, yet looked exactly like Griffin.
So naturally Lincoln could only jolt and pressed his back up into the wall as his heart began to race.
Why is there a girl who looks like Griffin sleeping next to me, thought Lincoln as he tried to rationalize the situation as Griffin began to wake up.
Rubbing her eyes cutely, she soon turned her head towards Lincoln as tears began to well in her eyes.
"Master I had a nightmare that I was never going to see mommy" cried Griffin as she glomped onto Lincoln and surprised him how strong she was given the bone crushing hug he was receiving.
"Please, you have to promise Griffin that we must find mommy someday" cried Griffin as Lincoln, in spite in being in pain, began to hug back and sooth Griffin out of brotherly instinct.
"There, there, I promise to help find your mommy, but could you please let go of me" grunted Lincoln as Griffin looked up with him as she sniffled before releasing her hold on Lincoln.
"Alright, so I think I might be dreaming, but could you please tell me your name please" asked Lincoln, "Master, have you already forgotten who Griffin is" asked Griffin as she felt betrayed by being asked such question.
"Of course I haven't forgotten you, it's just… how or better yet why are you here" asked Lincoln.
"I'm not sure, but maybe one of the other ladies may know" said Griffin, "Wait other ladies, you mean there are more of you" asked Lincoln.
"There was that lady with the 2 knives in her hand, another with a huge gun, and that zombie girl, and she scares me a little" said Griffin.
"Where are they now" asked Lincoln, "No need to search for us master" came the cold apathetic voice of a woman as she appeared in front of Lincoln and Griffin in front of his door.
"We are all here and ready at your disposal and to ensure your protection" said Assassin as she wore her red dress and red silk sleeved gloves, puffed white armbands and choker adorn with a black rose, with matching black roses on each side of her hair.
She carried with her red prong dagger in one hand, and thin wire in her other, black stockings and matching black bikini panties that Lincoln caught a glimpse of when she became visible.
"I must admit, it wasn't easy managing this child in the slightest, but I'm willing to tolerate her for you" said Assassin, "Hold on, where's Sharpshooter and Zombie" asked Lincoln.
"I believe Sharpshooter is but 800 yards away in an abandoned house keeping the perimeter, and Zombie does what her kind does best and is taking a dirt nap, literally I might add" said Assassin.
"Ok, this is a lot to take in, like how and why are you guys here, please answer me" asked Lincoln, "It's simple, you wished to be the true Celestial Lord and as such we came here to stand by your side, and face off against the corrupted and those that seek to oppose you" explained Assassin.
"I don't think we have to worry about that, I mean I do have the occasional bully here and there, but they tend to get punished before the end of the week" said Lincoln.
"With all due respect master, but you're clearly naïve in not understanding what I'm trying to explain" said Assassin.
"Your life now maybe in danger, since there are corrupted maidens out their wanting to take your life" explained Assassin as Griffin held Lincoln tightly.
"But fear not for you are in good hands" said Assassin, before hearing a knock on the door, "Lincoln hurry it's time for breakfast" called Lana on the other side of the door.
"Oh crap, um how am I going to explain this to my family" said Lincoln, "I don't see the problem, you are the Celestial Lord, that should be good enough for them" said Assassin.
"It's not that easy" said Lincoln as he began to get out of his bed and undo his pajama shirt.
"Do you girls mind giving me some privacy" asked Lincoln, "As you wish my lord, come child" said Assassin trying to pry Griffin from Lincoln.
"No" pouted Griffin as she clung onto Lincoln, "Tell me child, do you wish to disobey our master and die where you stand" Assassin said coldly that not only did Lincoln get chills, but Griffin began to whimper as tears welled up.
"Assassin that's enough, Griffin can stay here, you on the other hand can go and gather up the others, something tells me my day is about to get interesting" said Lincoln.
"As you wish master" said Assassin before disappearing from sight, as Lincoln sighed in relief.
"Thank you master" sniffed Griffin as Lincoln began to pat her head, "No worries Griffin, I promise to not let anything bad happen to you" said Lincoln as he got Griffin to wipe her tears and smile.
"But could you please cover your eyes while I change" asked Lincoln as Griffin didn't need to be told twice as Lincoln began to quickly change.
How am I going to explain this to mom and dad, thought Lincoln as he was fully dress, ready to start his day, before hearing Griffin stomach rumbling, as he knew what he had to do first.
"Come on Griffin, let's go down stairs and meet my family, you must be hungry for breakfast" said Lincoln as Griffin removed her eyes to reveal a smile over the prosperous of eating breakfast.
Making their way down stairs, the sounds of the Loud family could be heard as Griffin clung onto to Lincoln.
"No need to worry, they're my family they won't hurt you, I promise" said Lincoln as Griffin could only nod as she continued to follow him.
"Lincoln son, we were wondering when you'll be here, so what would my young man would like to eat" asked Lynn Sr.
"The usual dad, though mind making another serving for one more" said Lincoln, "For what son" asked Lynn Sr. before he and everyone was surprised to see such a cute girl roughly between his son and Lucy's age standing behind him as she showed herself to be truly timid.
"Lincoln, who's your little friend" asked Rita as she opted to tread light on the situation, "This is Griffin, and she and 3 other woman will be staying with us" said Lincoln as that truly got everyone's attention.
"Wait 3 other woman" asked Rita, before the back door opened and revealed that Assassin, Sharpshooter, and Zombie were present and accountable.
"We have returned master" said Assassin with a bow as Sharpshooter saluted and Zombie groaned in response.
"Ok, Lincoln you have a lot to explain young man" said Rita as she put on her authoritive voice on, before hearing the cocking sound of Sharpshooters rifle.
"Give me the word master" said Sharpshooter in a calm gentle voice, "No! Oh my god no!" exclaimed Lincoln as his sister began to panic as well.
"Please lower your weapons, they're my family for god sakes" pleaded Lincoln as Sharpshooter did so, "Understood master" said Sharpshooter as she set her rifle aside and saluted the young tween.
"Lincoln, why the hell did you invite these maniacs and weirdo's to our house" asked Lori as she tried to calm down the younger siblings, as everyone seemed to cower near a corner.
"They're none of those, they're from my game that I was playing yesterday" explained Lincoln as the girls began to take a second glance and looked at them.
"Hmm, I thought that girls outfit was familiar, also aren't you cold cause if you are I could lone you a sweater" said Leni towards Sharpshooter.
"This doesn't make any conceivable sense, as it opposes the rules of physics and logic" said Lisa as she gain the courage to get a closer look and examine the girls.
"This one in particular is the most peculiar of the bunch" commented Lisa as she was referring to Zombie who looked at her puzzling as she let out a groan.
"Look I don't know what's going on either, from what they told me and what I remembered from last night, I became an actual Celestial Lord so now they're all here to stay by my side for whatever reason" said Lincoln.
"It's so that we protect you from enemies" said Assassin, "Anyway, my point is I don't know what I got myself into and that I'm sorry" said Lincoln as he lowered his head in shame.
Truly a lot to take in, as everyone remained silent not sure what to say or what to add to the matter.
"I know no one likes the idea of having them around, especially what just happened, but they're my responsibility and as their master it's my duty to look out for them" Lincoln said determined.
Maybe it was seeing their son stand up, or the fear that the woman present could definitely kill them all, Lynn Sr. and Rita looked at each other before nodding in agreement what needs to be said.
"Lincoln, while what you're saying is indeed admirable, you're still a child and our son who's not ready to face the world with this kind of responsibility" said Rita as Lincoln lowered his head.
"However we can't on good conscious turn them away, so I guess welcome to the family" said Lynn Sr. as Lincoln looked up and smiled at his parents, as Griffin hugged him.
"So what can I get you all for breakfast" said Lynn Sr. trying to continue on their normal family day activities.
"Pancakes" cheered Griffin, "Oatmeal and fruit shall be sufficient" said Assassin as Sharpshooter poured herself a hot cup of coffee and gave a thumbs up that she was good.
As for Zombie, she went into the fridge and proceeded to eat raw ground beef.
"Oh no, that isn't healthy for you" said Rita worriedly, "Mom she's a zombie remember" said Lincoln as everyone begrudgingly let Zombie eat in peace.
Adjusting themselves in sitting somewhere, Griffin made a point to sit next to Lincoln as both waited to be serve their meal.
"So Griffin, how did you get your name" asked Rita, "Griffin got her name because I'm a Griffin" said Griffin as everyone looked at Lincoln who nodded in agreement to what she had said.
"Ok, tell me, do any of you girls here have a name of your own" asked Rita, "Call me Assassin, and recognize me as the de facto leader to our Lord" said Assassin as she ate an apple while Lynn Sr. cooked her breakfast.
"Sharpshooter is my name, and game" said Sharpshooter as she leaned against a wall while drinking her coffee as all eyes feel on Zombie.
"Zombie" said Zombie as she ate raw blood pudding and Lucy's homemade blood, "Gasp, you fiend" said Lucy, "Just let it go Luce, less you want to turn into a zombie" said Lynn as she held her sister back.
"Well I guess it's time for us to introduce ourselves, hi my name is Rita, this is my husband Lynn Sr., and these are our children" said Rita as she allowed her daughters to introduce themselves.
"Names Lori Loud, I'm the oldest one" said Lori as she took turns from eating her bagel and texting.
"Hi I'm Leni and we're totes gonna be friends, and please don't be afraid to ask if you need any fashion tips cause I'm here to help" said Leni.
"Call me Luna dudes" said Luna as she was adverting her gaze on Assassin as she creeped her out as much as Lucy.
"Nice to meet ya, I'm Luan resident joker, and pranker" said Luan as she began to juggle some eggs before it fell and landed on Lori and Luna.
"And that's no yolk, heh get it" said Luan getting a groan from everyone, "I like her" said Sharpshooter with a smile, "Word of warning, don't prank me if you hope to live a long life" warned Assassin.
"Moving on, I'm Lynn Jr. but just call me Lynn" said Lynn eating herself a breakfast steak and eggs.
"Greetings, my name is Lucy, I'm so delighted to be acquainted" said Lucy as Sharpshooter raised her brow, Zombie merely stared at her, and Assassin was hiding her blush.
"Greetings to all of you, I'm Lola Loud, and might I just say that I admire your intimidating presence Assassin, and Griffin you look absolutely cute in that dress" said Lola as Griffin looked up at her with a mouthful of pancakes as Assassin nodded at her.
"Hi I'm Lana, also Griffin I got to ask are there other Griffins and mythical creatures out there like you" asked Lana, "I'm not sure, I know recently Master had acquired Debris Eater, Spider Web, Fox Spirit, and Dragon Princess" said Griffin.
"Lincoln if you had access to a dragon, why haven't you summon her instead" said Lana getting up in Lincoln's personal space, before being pushed back to avoid getting hit in the head by a fork, courtesy of Assassin.
"Cause I've yet to level up myself to access Dragon Princess in my roster" said Lincoln, "Also it be ill advise, as the Dragon Princess has a very hauty, very arrogant attitude to deal with" quipped Assassin.
"Moving on, my name is Lisa, Dr. Lisa Loud to be precise, though please call me Lisa" said Lisa as she finished making herself the perfect waffle bot to make not only the perfect waffles, but perfectly heated syrup and butter that melts and spreads exactly on TV.
"And this here is the youngest member of our clan, Lily Loud" said Rita as she picked up the baby.
"Great now that introductions are out of the way, could you please fill us in as to why you're all here, why am I chosen as the Celestial Lord" asked Lincoln.
"We have no problem explaining, however I think it be better suited if you were to instead call forth the Oracle, along with her trusted advisors the Alchemist and High Pixie" said Assassin.
"Ok, but how do I do that" asked Lincoln, "Just do it like you always do, go to team selection and swap us out in favor of those 3" said Sharpshooter nonchalantly.
"But, wait what'll happen to you" asked Lincoln with concern, "We'll be fine, just returned back with the others in your collection, though please feel free to swap us out for whatever the occasion might call for since there are times where you'll be needing the strength of others more than us in situations that might call for it" said Assassin.
"All right, I'll trust you all to be safe" said Lincoln as he felt Griffin gripping onto him and giving him those eyes that begged for him not to send her away from him.
"No worries Griffin, you're not going anywhere" said Lincoln assuring the young girl.
Taking out his phone and doing as he would in the game, Lincoln and everyone were surprise to see 3 out of the 4 girls to go away, but were soon amazed the 3 new ones to take their place.
The first one was the smallest little thing to meet the eye, as she was a girl about 2 thumbs tall, she wore spring green dress as it very much resembled that of a flower, with a pink tulip belt, thigh high green socks, leafy and leafy green booty shoes, green ankle sleeves, leafy green hair with a yellow adorned on the right side of her head, this was High Pixie.
Next was a young woman with platinum pink hair, wearing a white frilly dress shirt, short light black skirt, a creamy brown corset over her dress, a blue bow shaped like a flower on the right side of her hair, safety glasses, and was carrying with her a beaker filled with tesla energy inside, this was Alchemist.
Finally the last woman had wore herself quite the revealing white dress as it split past down her cleavage that the v nearly showed her belly button, the right side of her thigh was revealed, with her having various black straps underneath, she held a big book on her left side with brown leather, she wore a large gold crown that was to big to fit her, yet was in place do to it floating along with these smally triangular shaped accessories, and had 2 floating like sentry devices by her side, she had long silver hair and beautiful blue eyes, this was Oracle.
"My lord, my master it is so good to finally make your acquaintance" said Oracle with a heart smile, matching her heart felt tone.
"Lincoln, who is she" asked Lynn Sr. as he was admittingly awe struck by this girls beauty, "This is Oracle, she's the one who guides the celestial lord, that is me to bring peace back across the kingdom" said Lincoln.
"Right you are my master, however things are quite different now" said Oracle, "What do you mean" asked Lincoln as High Pixie and Alchemist were giggling amongst themselves as Oracle remained stoic on the matter.
Wow this took a lot longer to make, but you know what I say it was well worth it. Also gonna point out right now that regarding what I said in the beginning to show your support toward Valkyrie Crusade… yeah it's kinda to late since some time earlier this year the company went out of business and therefore pulled the plug on Valkyrie Crusade forever, which honestly fucking sucks if I'm honest.
Like granted you could argue that it was another freemium F2P game, I could find a new one, well let me stop you right there and say no, it's not, since the game never offered any ad blocks to progress or continue, and it rewarded players who take their time and play the game, with high ranking cards, or for wallet warriors to get them on the spot, at no extra cost, but also no extra bonuses other than you get an XLR 2 UR, and a LR mirror.
Yeah sounds confusing if you never played it, but trust me it's more simpler than it sounds and was probably the most addictively played mobile game I have ever played before, since battle bears and pocket tanks.
Overall I decided to make this in tribute for an awesome gaming community that I had been a part of for literally over a decade, so really hope you guys did enjoy it, if not, I'm still gonna make more chapters out of my love and respect to the game.
Until next time, be safe, be good people, and please support your local fandom communities.
