The Celestial Loud Lord 5

Disclaimers I don't own the Loud House or Valkyrie Crusade, please support any to all official releases.

Ever since Peter had scared off most of the students with his stunt earlier, he was expecting it to be a happy hunting season for him to eliminate any to every weak Celestial Lord, but since he never expected someone to stand up to him, like say Lincoln, he could say his day got a whole lot more interesting.

"Susa-no-o, might you be as kind as to lead us through this attack" said Peter, "Right away master" said Susa-no-o before she glared down and began to charge towards Hestia who had created herself a wall of sparkling fireworks.

"Susa-no-o, it's been a while, hasn't it" said Hestia with a smile, "It has, though you must forgive me for wanting to skip pleasantries this time" said Susa-no-o as she began to reel back before drawing her sword with enough force to cease Hestia's flames, before charging forward with her sword pointed at her.

Acting quick, Hestia caused another eruption of fireworks to explode before her and Susa-no-o thinking it deter her from attacking, but was surprised to see that Susa-no-o took the hit, before plunging her sword into Hestia's left shoulder.

"Stand down now, you'll suffer a whole lot less" said Susa-no-o, "Like I'd do that before my master" said Hestia before sticking her hand out and shot a volley of comet shaped fireworks at Susa-no-o as she began to dodge and evade them.

"Hahaha, oh my, finally I get to show off my power and grace before my master, and more so against someone who is as regal as me, wouldn't you say so High Vampire" said Dragon Princess.

"This is stupid and a waste of time, almost as much as the level excitement you have for some imbecilic reason" said High Vampire with a pout.

"Cheeky are we, well let's see you if you're still cheeky after I whips some sense into you, literally" said Dragon Princess as she pulled out her whip and was ready to crack it against High Vampire's cheek, but she didn't flinch or move, other than her hand as she grabbed it midair, before pulling in Dragon Princess with one tug, before reeling in her hand, then smacked her across the face.

"Let me assure you one thing, you will not get me to move an inch from where I stand" said High Vampire as she glared down at Dragon Princess who was getting back on her feet.

"Let's see you try that again" grunted Dragon Princess before letting out a fierce battle cry as she charged towards High Vampire again.

Finally there was Vampire, and Griffin 2 maidens who didn't want to fight, but had no choice as this was for their masters bidding.

"Hi Griffin" said Vampire as she wanted to at least be friendly, "Hello" said Griffin in a soft voice.

"Listen, I don't want to fight you, I don't like hurting people, but… I've got my orders from my master" said Vampire as she bit down on her lower lip.

"So please don't hate me for having to fight you" said Vampire as she began to approach Griffin, who in spite of being afraid of combat, was more than willing to fight anyone and everyone if it meant to keep Lincoln safe.

Slapping her cheeks, Griffin needed to only psyche herself up, before running in, ready to pounce on Vampire, who only needed to push her palm onto Griffin's chest, before sending her back.

"Ow" cried Griffin as Lincoln was by her side as he helped her up, "Griffin, are you ok" asked Lincoln, "I'm ok, just that they're really strong".

"Yeah, a little too strong" said Lincoln in worriment since he was fairly certain him and Peter were at the same level, and were smart enough upgrading their skills and raising their maidens attack and defense powers, and yet he had some sort of edge over them, but what.

"Let's not waste any of our time here ladies, Susa-no-o, I want you to unleash you're ultimate attack right now" said Peter as Susa-no-o only nodded as a great deal of her energy was rising from her as she began to lift her katana that had been placed back in her scabbard, before she began to point the sheath weapon at the maidens.

"Kusanagi" said Susa-no-o as in a flash when she flicked her blade from her scabbard, she had moved with enough speed and used her power to perform a mighty judgement cut upon all of Lincoln's maidens, leaving them at less than half of their health, with Hestia's dropping at 20%.

"Amazing right, Susa-no-o's special ability allows her to attack all of her opponents at once, leaving them either defeated, or severely weaken" said Peter with a smug smile.

"You won't get away with this, Hestia, think you can return the favor" asked Lincoln, "For you master, I'd do anything" said Hestia as like before she began to conjure up a giant firework monster, but instead of it being a dragon like last time, she instead summoned a yeti as it let out an explosive roar.

"Starmine" shouted Hestia as she had hope to at least leave Susa-no-o in an equally worst state, when she let her creation loose, before it got snuffed out.

Susa-no-o, now severely burnt and left with her health moderately low, stood there with her teeth clenched and staring daggers at Hestia.

"Huh impressive, if not futile" said Peter as he turned to Vampire who gave a curt nod, before lifting her hands up.

"Blood rain" said Vampire as like last time blood began to rain from the skies, which did creep Lincoln out, his feeling of disgust changed to fear when he saw that Susa-no-o was healing from her injuries as did everyone else.

"What!" exclaimed Lincoln, "Hahaha, amazing right, you see, my maidens are what you would call a dream team, since they not only get a strength and defense boost for being the same level, but another for sharing the same elemental status" said Peter.

"So that's why you're maidens are more stronger than mine" said Lincoln, "It get's better, you see, High Vampire here grants everyone on her team an additional +50% attack thanks to her skill Loyalty, while Vampire's Blood Rain heals everyone on her team, and of course you got Susa-no-o's skill Kusanagi that attacks everyone one on your team" explained Peter.

"Face it, you never had a chance to win this fight, but I assure you it's for the best of everyone" said Peter as Lincoln was starting to get tired of this guys' smug attitude.

"So if I were to understand, you've assembled yourself what many might call the perfect team for all round combat" said Dragon Princess, "You'd be correct" said Peter proudly as Dragon Princess herself began to put on her smug smile.

"And you'd probably still had a better chance of winning, if you hadn't reveal your strategy, but what can you expect from such a master who likes to think he's the cock of the walk, but is really nothing more than a big chicken" said Dragon Princess as she gave her ever so famous Ojou-sama laugh again.

"What do you mean" demanded Peter as he felt his ego hurt, "It means they now have a plan on defeating us, dumbass" said High Vampire as she was glaring intensely at Peter.

"Keep your eyes on the prize me dear" said Dragon Princess as she took out her whip as it began to set itself on fire, before she cracked and wrapped it on High Vampire.

"Queen's whip" shouted Dragon Princess as she looked back at Hestia, "Hestia, hurry and finish her off".

"Got it" said Hestia as she summon a swarm of bee like fire works given how fast they moved as it sparked and flickered before it finally covered and assaulted High Vampire, before erupting and sending her skidding back to Peter's feet.

Slowly her body began to dissolve within the shadows as High Vampire glared angrily at Peter.

"You suck" spat High Vampire before disappearing from the shadows for good, as Peter looked up with his nostrils flaring.

"Susa-no-o, Vampire, quit screwing around and take out his other maidens already" yelled Peter, but because of his cracked voice, he sounded less intimidatingly serious, and more annoyingly sad.

Not saying a word, Susa-no-o needed to only land one last blow on Hestia, before she went up in flames.

Meanwhile, Vampire went up and delivered a straight punch too Dragon Princess' face, knocking her down, but not out of the count yet.

"Griffin, don't just stand there, help us" said Dragon Princess before turning her head back to see that Susa-no-o was standing in front of her.

"Oh poo" said Dragon Princess before Susa-no-o sliced her sword for the last time, before Dragon Princess erupted into a thousand little ice shards like many times before.

"And then there was one" said Peter smugly as leaving Griffin all by her lonesome, as she trembled in fear a little.

"Aw what's wrong, afraid that this is the end for you and your master" Peter said tauntingly as Vampire looked back at him disapprovingly.

"No worries, this'll be over soon enough, Vampire take care of her" said Peter, "No" said Vampire defiantly.

"Excuse me" asked Peter in an offended tone, "I shall not be ordered around to commit your villainous acts any longer" said Vampire as she crossed her arms and pouted.

"Excuse you, but 1 I am your master, and 2 I am not the villain I am the spark of the game, I am the catalyst, I am the god damn hero" ranted Peter as his cracked voice really didn't help his situation when it came to being authoritative or threatening.

While this went on, Lincoln took this chance to sneak up behind Griffin and held her in a caring hug, much to her surprise.

"Master" asked Griffin, "Griffin, there's a great chance we won't make it through this fight, but that's fine, so long as Leni or Lucy are able to succeed, it just means we'll see each other soon enough" said Lincoln with a smile to not only reassure Griffin, but himself as well.

"But that doesn't mean we should just give up and let these guys win, so Griffin please perform your ultimate skill attack" said Lincoln as Griffin looked at him with new found spirit and determination.

"For you Master and for my mama" said Griffin as she stepped forward and instantly she was creating herself a powerful aura that surrounded her and got everyone's attention.

"What in the world" said Peter as Vampire was surprise to witness Griffin's power in action again, as Susa-no-o was ready to accept whatever fate may befall her.

"Don't just stand there, attack her already" ordered Peter as Susa-no-o began to charge forward and plunged her sword into Griffin's heart, but it was too late as Griffin gave her the look of a proud warrior who's not afraid to face death, danger, or whatever.

"Royal Genetics!" shouted Griffin as her shout alone had the same affect as Susa-no-o, when it came to attacking multiple opponents at once, before she leapt forward and continued to wail on Susa-no-o before she too dissolved into the shadows like High Vampire.

"What the hell" said Peter in the most squeaky broken voice he has ever made as Griffin stood their triumphantly over taking out his true ace in his dream team of maidens.

Yes it seemed that in spite of the starting disadvantage he had, Lincoln was able to turn this battle around, much to the frustration Chandler who stuck around to live record the whole event, and was seriously tempted to cut the feed less he makes Lincoln look like a bigger hero.

Meanwhile many of the other Celestial Lords felt inspired by Lincoln's actions that maybe next time they could step up, but for now settled on cheering and rooting for Lincoln.

"Take a look around you Peter, no matter how hard you lie to yourself, you were the villain in all of this, and I was the true hero, so I'm going to offer you one last chance to surrender now, or prepare to be beaten" said Lincoln.

Peter was left speechless, he had thought since he was chosen to become the Celestial Lord, he thought he was destined to win the tournament, become the hero, and claim it's grand prize, and be revered and be immortalized for his actions of greatness.

So seeing as how Lincoln was the one stealing his spotlight, really irked him to no ends.

"I don't need your pity, I don't need to be told such obvious lies from so poser, from some nobody" said Peter as he began to shake in anger and had to figure out a way to get Lincoln to drop his guard down, before he spotted a Celestial Lord and her maiden out in the open, and figured he'd bait Lincoln out.

"Vampire, forget this guy, let's proceed back to our original plan in taking out the other masters, starting with her" said Peter as pointed at Cookie and her Fox Spirit.

"But master-" said Vampire as she was trying to talk so sense into Peter in not only what he was doing, but how his actions could land him to his total defeat.

"That's an order" yelled Peter as Vampire had no choice, but to attack, much to Lincoln's disgust.

"Griffin, stop her" ordered Lincoln as Griffin readied to pounce on Vampire and finish her off, but didn't know she ultimately fell into Peter's trap.

"Vampire, cease your attacks and counter towards Griffin" ordered Pete, as Vampire only needed to skid to a halt, before turning around and landing a straight punch to Griffin, knocking her to the ground.

Already at low health, Griffin was practically a few hits away from being flickering out before Lincoln as she looked up at Vampire with a sad defeated look, as Vampire looked down on her with regret.

"Finish her already" ordered Peter as Vampire began to raise her fist over Griffin, "I'm sorry" said Vampire as she began to bring down her fist, but stopped when a familiar set of pronged daggers were pierced through her chest.

"You shall not defeat either of my masters today" said Assassin as Vampire was surprised by the sudden sneak attack as was everyone else, but it gave Griffin to crawl out of harms way.

"Who in the world are you" demanded Peter as he was starting to get frustrated over how his plans weren't going as followed.

"My name is Assassin, and coming from behind you are not only my master, but my associates, Sirius and Corona" said Assassin as Peter turned to see Lucy being guarded my Swordsman and Masquerade as Sirius and Corona indeed ran past Peter to help defeat Vampire with Sirius plunging her katana through her back, and Corona gripping her head back.

"Master Lincoln, care to do the honors" asked Sirius as Lincoln turned to Griffin as she got back on her feet before pouncing on Vampire and delivered the killer blow herself, as she dissolved into a small cloud of shadows like all of Peter's other maidens.

Peter was now speechless and defeated as he tried to make a daring escape from the scene, but was stopped by Swordsman who hit him using the handle of her katana, knocking the wind out of him.

"Lincoln, are you alright" asked Lucy as she ran up to her brother, "I'm fine thanks to you" said Lincoln as Griffin recovered back to full health as Hestia and Dragon Princess appeared before them again.

"We should hurry, Leni could be in danger" said Lucy, "Alright, but what about him" asked Peter as he looked at the visually appropriately pathetic Peter.

"I'll look out for him, and make sure he gets sent to the authorities" said Cookie as she and her maiden approach them.

"It's the least I can do for risking your maiden on us back there" said Cookie, "Thanks Cookie, you're the best" said Lincoln as he raced back with Lucy towards Vanzilla as they began to make the last and final drive to Royal Woods High.

As they did, Lincoln received a phone call from Luna, which definitely wasn't a good sign.

"Luna is everything alright" asked Lincoln, "Dude it's not alright, I mean Leni is getting crushed by this jerk who doesn't fight fare" said Luna.

"Not to mention he's not afraid to get involved himself" Luan as she was next to Luna during her call.

"See what you guys can do, we're on our way" said Lincoln, "We'll try dude, just be sure you and Lucy bring out your A game, cause this is gonna be a tough fight" said Luna before hanging up.

"Now would probably be a good time to use one of my free daily Super-rare draw" said Lucy, "Agreed" said Lincoln as Lucy's luck so far was anything but, and yet she prayed for the best for today and for this moment when she redeemed her ticket.

And lo and behold she got lucky when she managed to summon the one maiden she had her eyes on since she first learned about her, and the one she had recently aided her brother in defeating, Vampire.

"Huh, where am I" asked Vampire as she was confused why she was in the back seat of this death machine on wheels.

"At least, I finally got to summon the maiden whom I had my eyes and hope to aid me in getting my closer to unite with my true beloved" said Lucy as she couldn't help but gush over having Vampire in her roster at long last.

"Hello again" said Lincoln as he caught Vampire by surprise, "It's you, that boy from earlier" said Vampire, before she spotted Griffin as she looked at her with timid eyes.

"Yeah, names Lincoln, that's my sister Lucy, and we're both Celestial Lords fighting on the same team, and right now we could really use your help in saving our last sister and fellow Celestial Lord" said Lincoln as Vampire felt this was her chance to redeem herself in the eyes of her new masters.

"I shall do my best masters" said Vampire with a bow, "Excellent, Lucy, try to boost her up to the best we can, while I do the same to my team and reorganize them, dad step on it" said Lincoln.

"On it son" said Lynn Sr. as he began to race past police and traffic in order to save his daughter and end todays battle already.

Hey, been a while right, I've been taking these past few weeks to actually get my documentations in order, finding a new job that'll pay the damn bills already, and celebrating my birthday, which has became a tradition within my family to celebrate it all month round ignoring everyone else's, which don't get me wrong I feel bad, but at the same time totally blessed.

But yeah, next time we'll conclude this battle in Royal Woods High, with Leni going on what we'll definitely see every now and again in terms of my aggressive, hands on Celestial Lords.
