AN: I just want to say 2 things before this chapter. First is that my Adam stand-in won't always be wearing his mask. You only see Adam's real face once in the series, but they will see his mask. Second is when characters are singing, their name will be before the lyrics and it will be underlined. (Eg. Lincoln: Like this)
Review Reply
Gamelover41592: Thanks.
CRabbit3428665: I never played it, but did watch it on youtube. Honestly I was lost watching, it might've made sense if I played the previous game or watched gameplay of them.
Perseus12: Thanks for the suggestions. I saw Pirates of the Caribbean, but never saw Char's CounterAttack. I have seen Mobile Suit Gundam and Mobile Suit Gundam Zeta.
Angeluszuko-z: I'm not sure about the Super Mario Movie, but I like the idea of Lincoln and Carol. However I never played any Professor Layton games.
NarutoisNumber1Ninja: I would like to do something from the Star Wars Universe. Same with Marvel, but there's just so much.
Pedro Alonso Buby Huayanay Zam: When I said TMNT, I was branching all the media. Comics, animation, live action movies, I just put it under that so it's easier for me. Even though they are different. Also I loved the Infamous series, wished they made more games.
Alphared45667: I know very little of the Dark Trinity from DC, might be something to look into.
Whatif-inator: I do want to do darker worlds, just hard to get the time to watch/read sources.
Guest99: In the past I thought of doing a one-shot where all the Loud sisters were Monster Girls. I just never got around to trying it. I never played Madworld, I could look up gameplay on youtube. As for a Harem chapter, I have a love-hate thing with harem stories.

Chapter 6: Luan in Heavenly Court
Disclaimer: I don't own The Loud House. I make no money or profit from this. Just in case, I don't own the song used in this chapter.
The family were still feeling a little uneasy at the last world. Not only learning that most of them were dead, but also they were born in a different order. While some of them wonder what that would be like, like Lynn Jr. who would be the oldest. Others didn't want to think about it, like Lori who was dead there. The parents didn't do much better. While Cobalt didn't give any details, what he did say didn't paint a good picture of them. Especially the part where he said they had more to replace ones that were gone.
"What do you think happened to that Lincoln?" Lana asked honestly.
"What do you mean sweetie?" Rita asked her.
"I mean, what do you think Cobalt meant by colorful past?" Lana rephrased her question.
"I think it's better we don't know," Lynn Sr. replied with an uneasy expression.
"In time you might learn that" Cobalt's voice said from behind them. This again startled them. In his hands was another orb. This one was pure red with a symbol of a strange key with an eye in it.
"Do you have to do that?" Lynn Jr. asked, annoyed. "It's bad enough the Duchess of darkness does that to us."
"My apologies, that isn't my intention" their host replied with a small bow. "You're just so enraptured in your conversation, you tend to forget about me."
"What did you mean by 'we might learn that'?" Lincoln asked nervously.
"My creator has taken an interest in that world" the android replied. "Because of that, you may see that Clyde again and his confrontation with the Seed Family." The family looked unhappy at hearing this. "However that isn't now, my creator gave us a new world."
"So what will you tell us?" Luan asked. Knowing how their host has been only gives them little bits of information before the viewing starts.
"This world is kind of a musical," Cobalt replied. This got a round of confused looks, but got the attention of Luan and Luna. "You see, in this world it's common for people to burst into spontaneous singing. No one will bat an eye and may even join in. However the biggest thing about this world is that Heaven and Hell actually exist."
"WHAT?!?" The family shouted in sync.
"Impossible! There's no scientific evidence to prove either exists!" Lisa commented.
"You're pulling our leg dude!" Luna said.
"Heaven? As in angels and God?!" Lynn Sr. asked.
"What I said is true," Cobalt replied calmly. "The scene is going to be in a Heaven courtroom, where the Princess of Hell will be trying to prove something to a group of angels."
"Princess?" Lola asked with interest.
"Will you tell us who will see?" Rita asked.
"I will during the viewing," their host replied. "However I will tell you that two of them will be some of you and four others. With one of them being special. Now who wants to do the honors this time?"
"I'll do it dude" Luna volunteered. She took the orb and tossed it, it went into the screen and came to life.
The screen showed a heavenly courtroom. On one end of the room behind a podium were 2 young women. Across from them on a balcony higher than them was a young man and woman. Between them on the wall higher than both of them was 4 balconies stacked on one another. On the bottom and 2 middle ones were several different angels. On the top were 2 angels, one younger and the other older. In the center of the room was a large viewing orb.
"So that's Heaven?" Lincoln asked, slightly confused.
"A courtroom in Heaven, but yes," Cobalt replied.
One of the women at the podium was a white-skinned hellborn demon. She had yellow sclera and red pupils, black lips with rosy red cheeks. She has long, ankle-length brown hair, which is usually tied into a twice-banded low-ponytail by two black hair ties. She wore a red tuxedo-jacket with darker red lapels and a small white tag located on the left side. Under that was an untucked, long-sleeved, high-collared white dress-shirt that has two black buttons and dark red cuffs, worn with black suspenders and a small black bowtie. Dress pants that are slightly darker shade than her jacket, and her footwear are heeled, white saddle shoes with black toes and tips of the heels. This was Luan Morningstar, the princess of Hell.
Next to her was a grayish-lavender skin woman. She has knee-length black hair with faded-purple tips and long jagged bangs which cover the left side of her face. She wore a red hair bow with small tears on each side and two long tails. Her right eye has a light pink sclera and an ivory iris, while her left eye has been replaced by pink "X". She wore a red blouse with a dark gray peter-pan collar, dark gray trimming on the sleeves, and two dark gray buttons down the front. She also sported a choker and a miniskirt with a thick pale pink waistband, both colored in the same dark gray. This was Maggie, Luan's girlfriend.
"Hey, that's Luan!" Luna pointed to the screen.
"And that's Maggie!" Luan said with a smile, recognizing the emo girl.
"That is Luan Morningstar, daughter of Lucifer and Princess of Hell" Cobalt clarified. "Beside her is her girlfriend Maggie." This got another round of cries of shock.
"Luan is the Princess?!?" Lola screamed in anger.
"She's my girlfriend?!" Luan asked with a red face. She never considered something like that, since she already had a crush on a boy named Benny.
"Lucifer? As in the Prince of Darkness? The Dark One? Lord of Temptation?" Lucy asked with utter shock.
"Yes to all your questions," Cobalt replied.
The man on the higher balcony was an angel with short messy Auburn hair and golden-yellow eyes with bags under them. He had golden wings and a golden halo. He wore a smooth white and golden cloak that appears to have a large 'A' symbol emblazoned on the front. His visible hands were black in appearance, and had gold-tipped spikes on the back of his collar. This was Chandler, the first man.
Next to him was an white skinned angel with short blonde hair and pale yellow eyes. She had black-to-gray wings and a black halo. She wore a long-sleeved gray minidress with a feather-like high collar colored in a gray gradient, a white sash-belt, black leggings, white arm-length gloves and matching heeled thigh-high boots with a single gray stripe at the cuffs, underneath which they wear an additional pair of long dark gray gloves and thigh-length stockings. This was Carol, an Exorcist.
"That's Chandler!" Lincoln shouted pointing at the screen.
"Why is Carol Pingrey beside that twerp?!" Lori screamed at the screen.
"That is Chandler, the biblical First Man and leader of the Exorcists" the android explained. "Beside him is Carol, Chandler's lieutenant of the Exorcists."
"First Man?! As in like Adam?!" Lynn Sr. asked, confused.
"What do you mean by Exorcists?" Rita asked, concerned by the title.
"Yes, he's that world's Adam" Cobalt started to answer. "As for Exorcists, you'll learn more later on."
The younger angel on the highest balcony had silver-like skin, and mid-thigh-length blonde hair with bangs styled in a somewhat messy way. She had light blue sclera with white-outlined darker-colored pupils. She had six white feathered wings and a light blue halo decorated with small, tiara-like spikes. She wore a princess-inspired clothing which consists of a light periwinkle gown, featuring a darker-colored stripe around the high-frilled collar, darker-colored trimming and details on the short light blue puffed sleeves, a darker-blue star-pattern on the chest, and darker-blue triangular-like patterns on the hem with small diamond shaped between the mounds, with a light blue sash worn around her waist. This was Lily, the younger Seraphime.
The angel beside her cedar-brown skin, and hip-length curled blonde hair. She had blue-gray sclera with deep-purple pupils. She had six pale periwinkle and white feathered wings and a white halo that is decorated with large crown-like spikes and blue gem-like circles, and a second halo which hovers above the first one. She wore a queen-inspired clothing which consists of a two-layered, periwinkle-gray gown with a high-frilled pale-periwinkle collar, white and periwinkle-gray bouffant sleeves with white detailing, along with most of the bottom and hem colored in a pale-periwinkle and white with diamond designs around it. This was Leni, the head Seraphime.
"Well that's Leni, but who's the other one?" Lincoln asked.
"Yay! Hi Me!" Leni shouted and waved at the screen.
"Yeah she looks familiar, but I can't say from where" Luna said, trying to figure out who she is. The rest of the family was doing the same, feeling the same thing.
"Well that's Leni, the Head Seraphime of Heaven," Cobalt started to explain. "The other is Lily, another Seraphime."
"That's Lily?!" They all shouted in disbelief.
"Lily's an angel?" Lori asked, amazed.
"Is that how our Lily will look when she gets older?" Rita asked, just as amazed.
"Yes she is" Cobalt answered Lori's question. "She could, there's no telling how she'll look as she gets older."
They had just finished watching the actions of the actions of a spider sinner who goes by Angel Dust. He had just done everything Chandler listed that should get one into heaven. "See he did everything on your checklist," Luan said happily. "He was selfless, stop Niffty from stealing, and stuck it to the mothman."
"What is she talking about?" Rita asked their host.
"Luan runs a hotel in Hell that tries to redeem human sinners to get them to Heaven," Cobalt starts to explain. "Unfortunately there is no proof that a sinner can get into Heaven. That's why she's here, to show sinners can be redeemed."
The family said nothing, but were amazed at what that Luan was trying to do.
"Uh, well, uh," Chandler sputtered out, looking at the other angels nervously. He then put on a more confident expression. "Then why isn't he here then, huh?"
"Yeah, why isn't he here?" Lily asked Leni. Only for her to look away, a nervous expression on her face. Soon all the angels below them started muttering with confusion.
"Wait" Luan said, noticing how the angels were acting. "None of you know what gets someone into Heaven?"
"Do none of them actually know?!" Lincoln asked, alarmed.
"It looks that way," Lynn Sr. replied to his son, just as alarmed.
"But how can that be?!" Luan asked, confused.
"Is our Heaven like this?" Rita whispered. Only her husband was able to hear her question.
"This questioning stops now" Leni said with an authoritative voice and annoyed expression. "We know when a soul arrives. We know when they passed divine judgment. It is our job to ensure these souls are safe."
Lily meanwhile popped up Chandler's list and looked at it.
"That's what gets you in Heaven?!" Lori asked with outrage.
"No, that's just what Chandler made up in the heat of the moment" Cobalt replied to her.
"They really don't know what gets you into Heaven." Lynn Sr. whispered, quiet enough for his family to not hear him.
"The musical part is about to begin," Cobalt informed the family.
Lily: But she was right, Leni. She showed us a soul can improve.
Lily then started flying in front of Leni, with the orb in front of her. It showed a different scene of Angel Dust.
"Wow Lily has a beautiful singing voice," Luna commented in awe. The family just nodded in agreement and listened.
Lily: He saw the light, Leni.
Leni's expression softened at Lily.
Lily: Checked all the boxes that you said would…prove a person deserves a second chance!
Lily then flew in front of the angels below them.
Lily: Now we turn our backs, no second glance?
The orb goes back down to the ground, while Leni looks at Lilly with a conflicted expression.
"She is right," Luan said, a little downfallen.
"Then how do they judge people!" Lori asked concerned.
Leni: It's not as simple as you think. Not everything is spelled in ink.
Lily flew up to look Leni in the eyes. Meanwhile Luan was glaring up at the older Seraphime.
"That's not an answer dude!" Luna shouted annoyed.
"Well, Leni also sings beautifully" Lincoln complemented. Although he was feeling the same as his older sister.
"Aw, thanks Linky," Leni said, pulling him into a hug. Not realizing he was talking about the one on the screen.
Luan: It's not fair, Leni!
Maggie: Careful, Luan, keep a cool head.
Maggie puts a hand on her shoulder to calm her down. Only for her to shrug it off and walk in front of the orb.
"Wow, you have a beautiful singing voice as well," Luna complemented her younger sister. Luan just blushed and gave a shaky smile, not sure if she deserved the praise since it wasn't her.
Luan: No! Don't you care, Leni?
Leni looks down at her sorrowfully.
Luan: That just because someone is dead, it doesn't…mean they can't resolve to change their ways. Turn the page, escape infernal blaze.
Leni: I'm sure you wish it could be so…but there's a lot that you don't know.
"It literally sounds like she's making excuses," Lori commented with a frown.
"Yeah Luan is trying to help those people" Lincoln defended his sister's counterpart.
The parents remained silent, wondering if their Heaven was like this and hoping it's not.
Then Carol slammed her fists on her balcony, a scowl on her face.
Carol: What are we even talkin' about? Some crack whore who fucked up already?
"Wha?!" Was all Lori could say, seeing her rival use such foul language.
"Never thought I'd see Carol Pingrey swear" Luna commented, just as shocked as her sister.
Luan narrowed her eyes at her, but Carol paid it no mind. She then sat on the edge of the balcony with her legs crossed, while Chandler was making obscene gestures behind her.
Carol: He blew his shot like the cocks in his mouth, This discussion is senseless and petty!
She and Chandler then put on their full head exterminator masks and flew around Luan. The masks had large curved horns and LED screens that mimicked their own facial expressions. The faces had a demonic look, with Chandler's yellow and Carol's white.
"What's with those masks?" Lincoln asks, confused.
"They look too demonic for angels," Lucy commented. She was slightly interested in them.
"Those masks are important, but I'll explain a little later" Cobalt answered. "Just know the face is a LED screen."
Carol and Chandler: There's no question to be posed! He's unholy case closed! Did you forget that Hell is forever?
Luan can only scowl at the two exterminators.
"But that's not fair!" Leni shouted angrily. While she didn't fully understand everything she was seeing, she got the basics.
"Yes, I agree honey" Rita said to her daughter. She wasn't enjoying this world version of the Heavenly Plain.
Chandler: A man only lives once, we'll see you in one month! Gotta say, I can't wait to…
"Chandler" Leni said threateningly, realizing what he's about to spill. Lily looked at her confused and worried.
Chandler: Come down and exterminate you!
Luan and Chandler glare at one another, with a bit of Luan's demonic features showing. Such as her horns appearing, as well as her sclera and pupils switching colors.
"What?!" The family shouted with complete confusion.
"What did he mean by exterminate?" Lincoln asked their host.
"This is a little complicated, so let me explain" the android started. "You see, this world's Hell is made up of seven rings. Each one of those rings is based off of one of the seven deadly sins. Humans who died and became sinners got to the first ring, the Pride Ring. This ring is ruled over by Lucifer himself, and they can't leave that ring. Sinners also can't die in Hell, anytime they die they will reappear back in Hell. Because of this, the ring is heavily populated by human sinners."
"The story in Hell is that Pride is overpopulated because of this" he continued to explain. "So Heaven sends down Exorcists to Hell once a year to permanently kill sinners and Hellborn with angelic weapons. Chandler is the leader of these angels and those masks are what they wear when they go down to Hell. This day is known as Extermination Day in Hell. The reason Luan is in Heaven is because they planned to move the day to every six months instead of twelve. However there's another reason for killing sinners, and it doesn't involve overpopulation."
"So even after death, they can still be killed?" Luan asked, horrified.
"God allows this?!" Lynn Sr. asked in fear.
"What's the other reason?" Rita asked, with fear and fury.
"Did Leni know?" Lori asked, noticing her tone to Chandler.
"Yes, angelic weapons can permanently kill sinners" Cobalt started to answer. "It's unclear if God actually knows. As for the other reason, you'll see later on. Finally, yes she knew. Leni is one of the only few in Heaven that knows about the exterminations."
The others didn't know what to say. Hearing angels, that they imagined were kind and innocent, being homicidal, wasn't something they expected to hear. Lucy couldn't even comment on Luan's more demonic appearance. While Leni started to cry hearing what her counterpart was doing.
Lily: Wait!
"Shit!" Was all Chandler could say. Realizing he just said something he wasn't supposed to.
Lily: What are you saying? Let me get this straight! You go down there to kill those poor souls?
The orb started showing past exterminations. Lily flew down and watched the carnage unfold. Luan meanwhile looked at her confused.
Luan: You didn't know?
Chandler: Whoops!
Carol: Guess the cat's out of the bag.
Chandler: What's the big deal?
Both of them had unapologetic and smug expressions. As they believed they did nothing wrong. Lily then looked up at Leni with a fearful expression.
"They really don't have any remorse for what they did" Lincoln commented with a scowl. This Chandler was worse than the one he knew.
"Nor do they care for saying something they weren't supposed to," Lisa added with a frown.
Lily: Leni, tell me you didn't know!
Leni just looked at her with a panicked expression.
Leni: I thought since I'm older, it's my load to shoulder.
Lily: No!
Lily looks down with her eyes closed, heartbroken.
Leni: You have to listen. It was such a hard decision.
"Lily looks devastated," Rita commented sadly. Everyone nodded in agreement.
Leni then flew down to Lily, taking her hands and making Lily look at her.
Leni: I wanted to save you, the anguish it takes to…do what was required!
"Sounds like an excuse to me," Lynn said with a frown. All the kids agreed, sounding like when their parents say "When you are older".
Lily frowned at the older Seraphime and pulled her hands away.
Lily: To think that I admired you, well…
Lily then began to fly above Leni to look down on her.
Lily: I don't need your condensation! I'm not a child to protect! Was talk of virtue just pretension? Was I too naive to expect you…to heed the morals you're purveying?
Lily went back to the ground looking at the orb. Chandler was making a gagging motion, while Luan was walking up to her.
"Exactly!" Many of the family said in unison.
Luan: That's what the fuck I've been saying!
Both then got on top of the orb and looked down on Leni.
Luan and Lily: If Hell is forever, then Heaven must be a lie!
"Lily!" Leni said with fear and a terrified expression.
Luan and Lily: If angels can do whatever, and remain in the sky…
Carol and Chandler scowled at the two for that remark. Both the young Seraphime and Demon Princess jumped down, and stared glared at Leni.
Luan and Lily: The rules are shades of gray, when you don't do as you say! When you make the wretched suffer just to kill them again!
"That was a rockin 'duet from Luan and Lily!" Luna said with a wide smile.
Luan: I was told not to trust in angels.
Luan then looks at Maggie, who looks uncomfortable.
Chandler: By her?
Carol: Ha! She should know…
"We should go," Maggie said nervously. Walking up to her girlfriend.
"They know something," Lincoln said with narrowed eyes.
"I concur, there's more than what we're seeing," Lisa agreed with her brother.
Luan: No!
Luan then takes her girlfriend's hands and gestures to the other angels.
Luan: Don't you see? We've come so close! Look at them fighting, they're at each other's throats.
Many of the angels were arguing with one another, while some looked conflicted or confused. Leni meanwhile was trying to stop all the fighting.
"Looks like things got crazy after that," Lynn Jr. said with a smug smile.
"That's not a good thing Junior" Rita told her daughter with worry. She really hoped that was limited to that world, and not theirs.
Chandler: Don't you act all high and mighty. Did you ever think your little girlfriend might be a liar?
Chandler then walked to the orb with Carol following. Luan looked at him confused, while Maggie was starting to panic.
Everyone was leaning forward in anticipation. They knew something big was coming.
"Don't! Chandler, please" she pleaded, knowing what he was planning.
Chandler: What's the fuss? Why hide the fact that you're an angel just like us!
The orb then showed a short hair Maggie with a halo, both her eyes, with angel wings, and wearing an exterminator's uniform. Luan couldn't say anything, looking at the orb with fear and disbelief. Eventually Luan collapsed to the ground in tears, while Maggie ran to her to comfort her.
This got another loud round of "What?!" from the family. "So Maggie's an angel?!" Luan shouted in surprise.
"She's an Exterminator?!" Lynn Jr. said with a growl.
"What happened to her eye?!" Leni asked, shocked and confused.
"Is she a spy?" Lincoln asked, bewildered by the revelation.
"Yes Maggie is an angel" Cobalt began to answer. "She was an Exterminator, before she spared the life of a child sinner or Hellborn. I'm not sure which one they were. However Carol and Chandler saw this and declared her a traitor. Her eye was cut out by Carol's angelic sword and she ripped her wings off her. They then left her in Hell to die. That was when she was found by Luan and she helped her."
"So she's a fallen angel?" Lucy asked him.
"Yes in a sense," their host replied. "I'm just not sure if she's a fallen angel like Lucifer. Or if she's just an angel cast out of Heaven that just lives in Hell."
Leni had finally calmed things down and turned off the orb. After taking some calming breaths and we composed herself, she addressed everyone in the room. "I'm sorry" her voice was neutral and monotone. "But this court finds that there is no evidence souls in Hell can be redeemed." Lily went back to Leni's side but looked upset and saddened by this.
"How can she find evidence if they don't know what gets you in Heaven?" Luan grumbled with a frown.
"Oh fuck yeah, I win" Chandler said with excitement and happiness. He turned to the two girlfriends. "Suck it Bitch! You better save the date whores, because we're coming to your hotel first." He then snapped his fingers and a portal opened up behind Luan and Maggie. Sucking them both in and setting them back down to Hell. They screamed at him as they were being sent back, but it didn't matter In the end.
"Luan, don't give up on this" Lily shouted before they were completely through the portal. "I'll figure something out, I promise"
"That was uncalled for Chandler" Leni said with a frown, almost a scowl.
"Yeah but did you see the look on their fucking faces?" Chandler said with joy and excitement. "It was-" he then noticed the looked Leni was sending him. "Sorry" he said, mostly to not get into trouble. He, Carol, and all the other angels flew elsewhere, now that everything was finished. Leaving only the two Seraphime alone.
"I'm really not liking him," Lori muttered with a frown.
"I'm glad the Chandler I deal with is nothing like him…yet" Lincoln commented, while muttering the last part.
"Extermination of human souls" Lily said, her back to Leni. The older Seraphime only looked down in sadness. Lily then looked to the older angel. "Demon or not, there is no reason to be doing this!"
"They were uprising, Lily" Leni retorted with a frown. Her eyes glowed and numerous eyes sprouted from her hair, halo, and clothing. "It is my position as head Seraphime to protect our people at our cost." She calmed down and the eyes disappeared. "And it's your position to keep them happy and joyful" she told Lilly with her hands on her shoulders.
"That is the other reason" Cobalt informed the family. "Leni believes they were planning an uprising with the number of sinners increasing."
"Were they?" Rita asked him in a skeptic tone.
"There's no information that they were planning such a thing" the android replied.
"How can I bring joy when I now know we are bringing misery to thousands of innocent people!" Lily said unhappily.
"Heaven needs us Lily" Leni told her seriously. "Everyone looks to us and we can't doubt ourselves or worry about the fates of the demons, when we have our own souls to protect." She then gained a terrified expression. "Please, if you start to question, you could end up like Lucifer…Fallen." She then held Lily's face in her hands. "I couldn't bear to see you suffer the same fate. So please let me worry about this." She then kissed Lily's forehead, before flying off.
Lily looked at the checklist one last time, before flying off herself.
The screen went black and Cobalt moved in front of it. "That's it for this one, so any thoughts?"
"The music was killer," Luna excitedly said.
"I would've preferred seeing the underworld," Lucy told their host. "However I was surprised to see the darkness within Heaven and angels."
"I literally can't believe how vulgar those angels can be," Lori said with a frown. "Also, why is Carol Pingrey an angel?"
"I can't believe that Chandler was that world's first man," Lincoln said with a shake of his head.
"Why have the worlds suddenly started having so much swearing?" Rita asked, glaring at their host.
"Are Leni and Lily mother and daughter?" Lynn Sr. asked.
"I still refuse to believe this is the real Heaven" Lisa said defiantly.
"What happens to Luan's and Maggie's relationship?" Leni asked. Luan nodded with her, wanting to know as well. While she didn't have feelings for the Maggie she knew, she didn't want her counterpart's relationship to end because of what happened.
The rest were unsure how to feel about it. Whether they didn't fully understand, or just didn't know how to feel.
"Carol is just because," Cobalt said, starting to answer questions. "I don't have the information for why she is. Again it's my creator who chooses the worlds, I have no control in what's picked. My creator doesn't believe they are, but they are unsure themselves. As for their relationship, they do make up. However they were on rocky terms for a little bit."
"Any more questions?" He asked, getting no more questions. "Well I'll leave to discuss among yourselves. My creator will send another orb when they're ready." He then walked off while the family talked with one another.
