AN: I just want to say that I did replace Danny, Tucker, and Sam. However, I will not make Sam's stand-in a "Ultra-recyclo-vegetarian". Back when I was younger I didn't care for her. Now years later I still don't, borderline hate the character. This is also the first time I did a whole episode (mostly). Don't expect this very often, I needed to do the whole chapter for it to make sense (maybe it was just me). I also didn't describe characters that only show once, or for only a few scenes in the episode.
Review Reply
OmegaDelta: I have mixed feelings about High School DXD. I enjoy the world, but I hate the protagonist Issei and there's too much fanservice for me. As for stories on this site, I'm too lazy to ask people for permission.
HeiHeiTurtal: I do want to do Stay Gone and Loser Baby for later chapters.
Gamelover41592: Thanks and glad you liked them.
Mr png: Thanks and I want to do at least 2 more chapters of Hazbin Hotel. I might do more of Nagatoro.
musizlover2008: I will do some more lighthearted chapters, but I am drawn more to serious, dark, and/or drama series/scenes. Honestly it's more fun and creative to use non lighthearted sources. With lighthearted stuff, most of the reaction is positive things and can get boring to write. With dark, serious, or drama sources, I can have fun with it and be more creative. But I don't want every chapter to be like that because that will get boring as well. I never played Life of Pie, I only ever played the first Ratchet Clank years ago. I don't even know if I finished it.
Octavio Constant: Maybe Bioshock, it's up my alley. I would like to do another chapter in the Star Wars Universe. Have seen The Clone Wars, but only to season 4 or 5. I didn't have a favorite episode, but did enjoy any with Cad Bane or General Grievous. I never watched any Mad Max Movies. I think the humor from Big Bang Theory or Brooklyn 99 is cater to certain types of people and I'm not sure how to write the kids' reaction. I never played Elden Ring or Nier Automata and only played a few hours of New Vegas. I never heard of Good Omens before now and The Legend of Vox Machine is lighthearted? Isn't that the series based on the DnD campaign from Critical Role? As for The One Thing You Can't Replace, I'm thinking of saving that for after a dark and/or serious chapter. I can have some fun with it.
jeremiahkelley93: Thanks.
eduardo.bettin26: Glad you enjoyed my choices for the characters. I believe Lucy would like Lincoln's appearance as the Radio Demon, even if she was shaken. The Adams Family series and Pokemon would be good for something lighthearted. Total Drama would be good for something for comedy. I never liked shows like Big Time Rush or Austin Ally, I found them boring.
Guest99: One of the Zelda games might be good, and another Bloodborne suggestions.
Pedro Alonso Buby Huayanay Zam: I wanted to show off Lori as Velvette and Respectless was the only time we really saw Velvette in the whole series. Also Respectless is my second favorite song of the series, right behind Hell is Forever. I could have fun doing a chapter with the ClydexLori, just need to find the right source. If you're talking about the Legion series, I still need to watch it.
CRabbit3428665: Resident Evil 4 (original) is an interesting suggestion, especially with a younger Lincoln (Leon).
Skully13: For Twisted Metal, I would most likely just do the ending from the games. Except for Black or the 2012 game, they give me more to work with. I'm guessing you're talking about the movie Alien Nation, never heard of it before now. They're not friends yet, the episode Selfie Improvement hasn't happened. So Lori still sees Carol as a rival.
Tornado man: Never seen House of 1000 Corpses. Was always recommended to me, but never got around to watching it. I want to do something with the DC Universe, just not sure what. I will keep looking for something to make a good ClydexLori story.

Chapter 11: Fanning the Flames
Disclaimer: I don't own The Loud House. I make no money or profit from this.
With Lucy going back to her usual self, the group happily chatted about their glimpse into Hell. "It doesn't seem like a place for punishment," Clyde commented
"Yeah, to some of them, it seems like that is Heaven," Lynn Jr. commented.
"But we haven't actually seen Heaven either," Luan pointed out. "The only thing we know about it, is they don't know what gets you into it."
"I wonder where my other friends are?" Lincoln asked himself out loud. "I'm in Hell and Chandler is in Heaven, so I wonder where Rusty, Zack, and Liam are? Are they sinners like me? Or Angels like Chandler?"
"Now that you mention it," Luna said, after hearing her little brother. "I wonder about Sam, Mazzy, and Sully?" This got all the others to wonder about their friends.
"I wonder where dad is?" Lucy wondered out loud. "It's clear mom and dad aren't together in that world. So is he an Overlord like Lincoln and mom? Or an Angel like Leni and Lily?"
"I prefer not knowing," Lynn Sr. replied, hoping he was in Heaven.
"I want to know who that Vox and Valentino are," Bobby muttered in jealousy. He didn't like Lori hanging out with 2 strange, and possibly dangerous men. Even if it wasn't his Lori.
"Ahhh Boo Boo Bear~" Lori cooed as she hugged her boyfriend. "You don't have to worry about me, you're all I need." Clyde looked at them with an expression of jealousy and heartache.
"I wonder what Lame-o did to get so strong?" Ronnie Anne asked out loud. This got everyone to look at her with surprise or confusion. "Well Cobalt said he was powerful when he 'manifested' in Hell. So it sounds like he was already strong when he got to Hell."
"I might have an answer," Lisa said. "Cobalt informed us that Lincoln was suspected to be a cannibal. Perhaps the more evil or "sins" a person has while living, determines how powerful they are when they reach Hell."
"Then do you think it's the opposite for Angels?" Luan asked her.
"It's a possibility," the little genius replied. "However, given that they don't know what allows one into Heaven and some of the Angels seem worse than the sinners, I highly doubt it."
As they thought about what Lisa just said, the couch started to lift slightly and shake. "What's going on?" Lincoln asked as he held onto the couch. The U shape couch spontaneously grew 3 new cushion spaces, making the U bigger. With the new cushions, 6 additional spots became available. With the new cushions, the couch stopped shaking and went back onto the ground.
"Okay, why and how did the couch get bigger?" Lori asked everyone.
"I made it bigger," Cobalt answered her, approaching the group. "As for why, we will be having some new guests. So I need to make more seats, as well as more food." He then snapped his fingers and a new table with food appeared beside the current one.
"Who's joining us?" Leni asked excitedly. However, before Cobalt could answer, a familiar red portal appeared.
From the portal came two familiar people carrying five others, 2 teens and 3 kids. "Here are the new bodies, Reaper," King said, dropping the 2 teens off her shoulders. It was a confused and annoyed Becky and Sam, both girls glared at the amazon.
"Pardon the intrusion," Queen politely said, setting the 3 children in his arms down. One was Haiku, Lucy's friend. Another was Jordan Rosato or better known as Girl Jordan, from Lincoln's class. However the last girl none of them knew. She was taller than the other girls, with tan skin and black hair that curls up in the back end. All 3 looked confused and scared.
"Thank you King and Queen," Cobalt said to his siblings with a bow.
"Yeah, yeah, we have to get back," King said uninterested. She then walked through the portal.
"Take care Cobalt," Queen said with a bow of his own. He then followed King and the portal vanished.
Lori and Leni went to Becky's side, while Luna went to Sam's. Lucy went to Haiku's, while Lincoln and Clyde helped Jordan. While the unknown girl looked at everyone confused. "Now before I explain what's happening, an introduction is in order," the android said, standing beside the tall girl. "This is Stella Zhau, she and her family will be moving to Royal Woods in the near future. She will potentially be joining your friend group Lincoln."
"Potentially?" Lincoln asked him confused.
"In other worlds she has," he answers with a nod. "However, that doesn't guarantee that she will be in your world. Now as for why you're here…" Cobalt then starts to explain. The Loud family helped when they could, but there was still a lot to take in. While Becky, Sam, Haiku, and Jordan were interested. Stella was confused, since she technically hasn't met the person she would be friends with yet. After 30 to 60 minutes, Cobalt finished his explanation. "...That's all you need to know, now any questions?"
"Yeah, why me?" Stella asked with a raised hand. "I mean, I haven't even met him yet," she said, pointing to Lincoln.
"I don't know, all I know is my creator picked you," Cobalt replied. His answer didn't help or make the girl feel any better.
"Where's the next orb?" Lana asked, looking around.
"It should be coming any second," their host replied, looking to the sky. Everyone follows his gaze, but doesn't see anything. That's until they see the orb slowly descending. As it landed in Cobalt's hands, they saw it was a black orb with a uniquely designed P on it. "I see, this is a long one."
"So what's this one?" Rita asked nervously. Hoping it wasn't going to be something bad.
"You can relax, this will be more…enjoyable," Cobalt reassured the matriarch. "I'll explain more as you watch, but this world will focus on Lincoln, Clyde, Jordan, and Luna."
This surprised the 4 people mentioned. "Is it another Spider Universe?" Lincoln asked hopefully. This confused the newcomers, while Lynn grumbled thinking the same thing.
"Sorry, no," the android replied. "However I believe you'll enjoy this world just as much. Now everyone get some refreshments and take your seats, also who would like to do the honors?"
"I will!" Lana said excitedly. While she was hoping it was another Spider Universe like Lincoln. Hearing he will enjoy it, made her think she's like this world too. After everyone got some food and drinks, Becky sat beside Leni, Sam was beside Luna, Haiku was beside Lucy, and Jordan was between Ronnie Anne and Stella. Lana threw the orb at the screen and it came to life.
The screen shows Casper High School, before focusing on a 14 year old Lincoln Fenton, Clyde Foley, and Jordan Manson walking inside. Lincoln had brunette hair and blue eyes. He wore a white T-shirt with a thin red collar and cuffs, with a red oval in the middle, blue jeans, and red-and-white sneakers. Jordan had light brown hair, which is tied into a braid, and violet eyes. She wore a yellow cropped tank top, blue pleated skirt with white tights underneath, and brown Mary Jane shoes. She was also wearing some white and green earbuds. Clyde had black hair with black beret with a purple flame and turquoise eyes with glasses. He wore a black T-shirt with a purple flame on it, green cargo pants with a black belt, and brown boots.
"Is that us?" Jordan asked with a wide eyed expression.
"That's correct," Cobalt replied to her. "That's Lincoln Fenton, Clyde Foley, and Jordan Manson. The three of them have been friends since they were children."
"Manson?" Jordan questioned with a raised eyebrow.
"You just have a different last name in this world," he clarified for her. "Your parents are still the same."
"Where's this Casper High?" Bobby asked. He knew this wasn't in Royal Woods, since there was no school called that.
"It's in Amity Park," the host replied. "As for what state, it depends on the world. It could be in Oregon, Washington, Illinois, Minnesota, or somewhere near Colorado or California."
"So where is it?" Becky asked the android.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't exist in your world," he replied nonchalantly.
Clyde was listening to music from his PDA, it was the hit song from Ember McLain. Lincoln and Jordan were looking at him annoyed. "I don't get it," Lincoln said to his 2 friends. "This Ember McLain shows up out of nowhere, and she's the biggest thing since MP3's. It's so…" he was cut off by Jordan.
"...Infuriating to have to constantly listen to the same song over and over? No matter where you go it is always playing?"
"I was going to say weird, but okay," Lincoln replied.
"That is a catchy tune," Sam commented, with a small smile.
"But I can see what other me means," Jordan added. "I do like it, but if I constantly heard it everywhere. I would start to hate it as well."
"Who is this Ember?" Luna asked, curiosity pique.
"You'll see soon, just keep watching," Cobalt replied. The new guests didn't like his answer, but everyone else accepted it and continued to watch.
"Ember's not just about music," Clyde said, jumping in. "She's an expression of my unique Individuality." However once they got deeper into the school, they saw all the walls and students were covered in Ember products. Students were wearing Ember's shirts, jackets, pants, and skirts. The walls had posters and banners of Ember.
Posters show Ember as a tall, pale cyan-skinned teenage girl. She had a pixie cut, purple flaming hair and green eyes. She wore a black choker, black one-shouldered leather crop top, gray studded belt with black skin tight leather pants, and large knee-length gray skull boots. She also had a purple guitar where its body and headstock were designed as flames.
"What?!" Many of the group shouted. However Sam and Luna could only stare at the screen gobsmacked.
"I like it," Lucy said with a small smile.
"Me too, it's a nice mix of punk and goth," Haiku added.
"I'm a Rockstar?" Luna whispered.
"Way to go Luna!" Sam congratulated with a side hug. Luna was too stunned to register the hug.
"Yes, that's Luna McLain," Cobalt replied. "The song you are hearing is her hit song Remember."
"Then why are they calling her Ember?" Lola asked.
"It's a stage name, but it does have meaning," Cobalt replied to the young girl. "I will tell you the meaning later on."
"I don't see much individuality Clyde," Jordan said to her classmate with a teasing smile. Clyde only groaned in his hands in embarrassment.
"Well Luna is definitely popular," Lincoln commented with a happy smile.
"Oh yeah, you're one of a kind," Jordan remarks with an eye roll and sarcasm.
This made everyone laugh and embarrassed Clyde even more.
Just then a tall tan skinned girl with long black hair and teal eyes walked up to them. This was the A-Lister Paulina Sanchez. "Nice earrings," she said to Jordan mockingly. "Sale at the eighty nine cent store?"
"Who is this?!" Jordan asked in anger. She didn't know who this girl was, but she didn't like her.
"That's Paulina Sanchez, leader of the A-Listers of Casper High," Cobalt answered.
"A-Listers?" Lori asked, confused by the term.
"The A-Listers are the popular, rich, and athletic students of Casper High," the android answered. "They bully other students and are given special treatment by the teachers."
This got frowns from everyone. "The school allows this?!" Rita asked, visibly upset.
"Yes they do," their host replied. "It is a horrible school with horrible faculty."
"For your information Paulina, they were a gift," Jordan replied smugly. "Lincoln gave them to me." This caused Lincoln to look at her in shock and give Paulina a nervous smile.
"What's with that look Lame-o?" Ronnie Anne asked her friend with a raised eyebrow. Jordan just gave him an odd look.
"I don't know," the boy replied with a nervous shrug. He's now starting to feel uneasy about this world.
"That's because that Lincoln has a crush on Paulina," Cobalt answered for the boy.
"Bro, you can do better," Luna said with a frown.
"Yeah, you're too good for a girl like that," Becky added. While she didn't know that much about him, what she does know seems like he's a good guy. Even better than some guys in school.
"Yeah, you don't want a stuck up girl like that," Lynn Jr. said with a frown.
"Really? He gave you earrings?" The popular girl asked surprised. Before she became smug and condescending. "I always knew you losers would end up together," she commented before walking away.
"We're not losers!" Jorden shouted angrily at her retreating form.
"We're not together," Lincoln quickly said, not wanting her to get the wrong idea.
"What's wrong with being with me?" Jordan asked the white haired boy with a glare. While she hadn't thought of him like that before. Hearing a version of him outright reject her, angered her. Ronnie Anne was now glaring at him as well.
"Nothing!" Lincoln quickly replied, moving closer to Clyde. He was ready to run if needed. He knew how strong Ronnie Anne was and Jordan wasn't called the "Queen of DodgeBall" for nothing.
"Easy there, you can't blame him for his screen version," Lynn Jr. said to the 2 younger girls. This surprised the family that she was defending Lincoln, it was something she rarely did. "Lori already looks like she wants to strangle him, we don't need more people." She then pointed to the eldest Loud sibling.
Everyone looked and saw she was right. Lori was grinding her teeth while glaring at Lincoln. However she stopped and changed to an angry pout upon seeing her mother's stern expression.
Stella looked around and was confused by all this. However she was curious about these odd people and kids who could end up becoming her friends.
Suddenly Clyde started to chant Ember's name, making Jordan and Lincoln shout at him to be quiet together. Two of the jocks, Kwan and Dash Baxter, saw this and started mocking them. Claiming the lovebirds were turning on their friend. This caused both of them to shout they weren't lovebirds at them. The both looked at each other awkwardly before glaring at the jocks.
"Are they a couple?" Luan asked their host.
"No, just best friends," he replied. Lincoln let out a small sigh. "At least for now. Just like his relationship with Hayase Nagatoro, relationships can change."
"Who?" Sam asked, confused. She never heard of someone with that name.
"Someone Linc dated in another world," Luna told her crush with a smile.
"We weren't dating!" Lincoln screamed in embarrassment.
"I'm guessing those two meatheads are A-Listers?" Lynn Jr. asked with a small frown.
"Correct, with the blonde being the star quarterback" Cobalt replied. "The blonde is named Dash and the other guy is Kwan. Dash is Lincoln's personal bully. Any time he feels like it or has a bad day, Dash will beat him or stuff him in a locker."
This got everyone to scowl at the jock, with the Loud sisters wanting to beat him. "The school allows this!?" Lynn Sr. shouts in outrage.
"Yes, because they need him for games," the android replied. "As long as the team wins and the school looks good, the athlete can't be punished."
"The more I hear about this school, the more I dislike it," Rita said with a frown. Everyone nodded in agreement with her.
The scene changed to the inside of the classroom. The Vice Principal, Mr. Lancer, was talking about the Northwestern Standardized Test that was happening in a couple of days. He was a bald man with a goatee, with a large gut. As well explaining how his bonus relies on their scores. He then told them they would be wearing the devices on their desks called the Cramtastic Mark 5, It was a subliminal study aid machine. It was a 3 screen monitor with a keyboard and wireless metal helmets. As he turned them on, everyone's screens started to show Ember's music video "Remember".
"That's an interesting machine," Lisa muttered. She was curious how such a machine works and if it was possible.
"Without the helmet, it looks like a fancy computer setup," Jordan commented unimpressed.
"Check it out, you even got your own music video!" Sam commented happily, nudging her bandmate.
"Yeah, it's awesome," Luna said, looking away with a blush.
All the students, besides Lincoln and Jordan, started cheering. Said two individuals just removed the helmets with confusion and annoyance. Mr. Lancer quickly stopped the machines and ejected a DVD. Just as he was about to question who did this, when he suddenly heard the song starting to play again. The whole class heard it too and started to look around.
"Foley! Turn off that blasted PDA!" Mr. Lancer shouted, throwing the DVD at him.
"He shouldn't be throwing things at his students," Rita commented, disliking the Vice Principal.
"Yeah, I don't know what would happen if a teacher did that to me," Becky said with a frown.
"It wasn't me," Clyde told his teacher, avoiding the DVD. "It's coming from outside!" Soon all the students rushed to the windows. They saw a flatbed truck in front of the school. It had huge speakers on it, with some flaming torches that had a banner with Ember on it. Under the banner was the Rockstar herself, Ember McLain with her band, playing the music. Soon every student in the school, and any nearby, rushed to the truck for this surprise concert.
"Wait! So me, Mazzy, and Sully aren't with Luna?" Sam said, a little disheartening at this. Luna was heartbroken at this. She was expecting to see her band, or at least Sam, with her.
"No you're not," Cobalt answered. "I will explain why very soon, just keep watching."
The Loud family were starting to become nervous. Whenever he says that, it could be good or bad.
"Hello Casper High!" Ember shouted to the crowd. "Tell me who you love!" All of them started chanting Ember's name. As they did, her purple hair became more fiery. "That's it! Say my name!" She encouraged with a smile. "Are you ready for a little revolution?"
"What's with her hair?" Lincoln asked Cobalt. However, the android said nothing.
"Just keep watching and you'll explain later?" Luan said with a deadpan expression. Cobalt just answered her by nodding.
"Can you at least tell us what's this revolution she's talking about?" Ronnie Anne asked, annoyed.
"Later," was all he said. This got a groan from everyone except the new guests, who looked confused.
"Is he always like this?" Becky whispered to Lori. She just gave her friend a so-so gesture.
The crowd continued to cheer, with Clyde crowd surfing. "We love you Ember!" Clyde shouted happily from on top of the crowd.
"That's because I fill the void in your empty lives!" Ember replied to him.
"Sounds like you're her number one fan McBride," Ronnie Anne said playfully.
"Well it's not a bad song," Clyde said, embarrassed by his counterpart. Luna blushes a little at the complement, even if it was for her counterpart.
Lincoln and Jordan were standing at the front doors of the school. Both did not join the crowd, while Jordan was annoyed hearing this song again. Suddenly a blue mist came out of Lincoln's mouth, which Jordan also noticed. "Oh no," Lincoln said worryingly, looking around.
"What was that?" Lana asked, seeing the mist.
"Keep watching, you're going to enjoy what happens next," Cobalt told everyone. This caused everyone to focus on the screen.
Mr. Lancer had enough of this chaos, stood on a fire hydrant, and addressed the Rockstar with a megaphone. "Attention freakishly dressed teen idol," he started saying with a frown. "I order you to cease and desist!"
"Wow, he doesn't know how to talk to teens," Becky said with a deadpan expression.
"Desist this grandpa!" Ember retorts with a smirk. She then turns the dial on her guitar and strums a chord. At that moment, all the teens became hypnotized and turned to attack the Vice Principal.
"What did Luna just do?" Lynn Jr. asked, shocked and confused. Everyone else was in the same state of mind.
"I'll answer your questions soon," Cobalt told them.
"Ember's the ghost?!" Lincoln said shock. Suddenly a white ring forms around the center of him. It split into two rings, one going up and the other going down. As they did, almost everything about Lincoln changed. His shirt and pants became a black hazmat suit with white boots, gloves, and belt. His hair became snow white and eyes turned glowing green. "I need to save Lancer!" He said seriously, before realizing what he just said. "Wow, this is bittersweet."
The group was silent for a few seconds, before they all shouted in shock and disbelief. If Cobalt was capable of smirking, he would be. "Now I will explain things," Cobalt said to gain everyone's attention.
"In this world, Lincoln is a half ghost Hero called Phantom" he started to explain. "He became this way from one of his parents' inventions. Rita and Lynn Fenton are professional Ghost Hunters and they made a machine called a Ghost Portal. The portal would open a doorway to the Ghost Zone."
"Ghost Zone?" Both goths asked, interest piqued.
"It's a parallel dimension where souls of that world go," Cobalt answered, before continuing. "Anyways, it didn't work so Lincoln wanted to look at it, despite his friends' protests. Turns out Lynn put the on/off switch inside, which he accidentally pushed. When it turned on, it fused ghost ecto energy with his DNA, making him into a halfa."
"How did that version of our parental units make such a device?" Lisa curiously asked.
"Halfa?" Clyde asked, confused by the term.
"That Rita and Lynn are geniuses," he replied. "Halfa means half ghost, since he is still alive. Now only Clyde and Jordan know this, since they were there when it happened. The accident gave him the powers of a ghost. Also with the portal now working, ghosts started coming through it and terrorizing Amity Park. Lincoln took it upon himself to stop the ghosts and protect the city as the hero Phantom. But he's also called Invis-O-Bill by some people in the city."
"That's not bad," Luan said with a laugh, enjoying the name.
"That's so cool!" Lana, Clyde, and Lincoln shouted with excitement. They didn't see the unhappy and upset expression on the Loud parents' faces.
"What about me?" Luna asked worriedly.
"You are a full ghost, meaning you are technically dead," Cobalt answered, stunning them but not that surprising. "Luna McLain was killed in a house fire after returning from a date where she was stood up." Hearing this caused everyone to growl or scowl, the Loud family more so. "I don't know what year she died, but it was the era where women were expected to find a husband, have a family, and be a homemaker." Hearing this didn't help the mood. "She was an outcast because she wanted to be a Rockstar instead of a homemaker. When she died, she was sent to the Ghost Zone. She never lost her rebellious spirit and it shows in her ghostly form. Her fiery hair and name Ember comes from the fire that took her life. Her revolution is teenagers rebelling against adults and rules."
"So she just wants to live her dream?" Luna asked hopefully. However her expression shows her nervousness and uncertainty.
"Is that how Luna did…whatever she did?" Lynn Jr. asked, still trying to figure out what happened.
"Well…kinda," Cobalt answered Luna before turning to Lynn. "Yes, but it's mostly her guitar. You see, her guitar can do several different types of attacks. One of them just happens to be hypnosis."
Lincoln's and Lisa's eyes widened after hearing this, just putting the pieces together. "That's how she became popular overnight, her song must be hypnotizing people!" Lincoln shouted.
"Correct and that's what she just did to the students," Cobalt confirmed. "Now hold off more questions, we still have a lot to see in this world."
While some wanted to ask more, but decided to wait and see. Maybe they would get answers by watching.
He then flew to the now cowering teacher. He put his hands on his teacher's back and made them intangible. The attacking teens went through them, not noticing what just happened. Lincoln let him go and went off to fight the Rockstar, leaving a confused Mr. Lancer.
"He can fly, go invisible, and go through things!?" Lana shouted enthusiastically. She was already a fan of her brother.
"Yes and more," Cobalt told the little girl. "As he gets stronger and masters his powers, he'll gain new and stronger powers."
This impressed everyone, wondering what else he could do. "It seems like my brother truly has become one with the spirits," Lucy said, with a small smile.
"This version of him is quite interesting," Haiku commented with a small smile.
"Now to knock the pop princess off the…" Lincoln started to say. Only to notice Ember, her band, and the truck gone. "...Charts?" He finished his quip, seeing the students were returning to normal.
"Ha ha, good one," Luan cheered happily, while her family groaned.
"Great, it's a Lincoln version of Luan," Lynn Jr. groaned.
Jordan went up to Clyde to see if he was alright. Clyde snapped out of his hypnosis and looked around, noticing the ghostly musician was gone. "Hey, no encore?" Clyde said, a little disappointed. "What's that all about?" Jordan just gave him a deadpan look.
"So I was under Luna's spell," Clyde commented. He missed the Loud girls and Sam giggling at his comment, while Luna blushed in embarrassment for how it sounded.
The scene changed to the next day, where the 3 friends were in the school's hallway. Clyde was still wearing Ember merch, with something new. A giant purple wig that was supposed to look like Ember's hair. Lincoln and Jordan just gave their friend a worried and confused look.
"Okay I was joking before, but I think I might've been right," Ronnie Anne said stunned. She couldn't believe what the boy's counterpart was wearing.
"Looks like you got a mega fan, Luna," Sam teased with a giggle.
"That's going overboard," Lincoln commented. He was having a hard time believing this was his best friend.
Everyone else was laughing at the boy's counterpart, while Clyde and Luna were embarrassed by the scene.
"Clyde, you're starting to scare me," Lincoln told his best friend, expression not changing. "And I fight ghosts."
"Same here," Lincoln agreed, not seeing the betrayed look Clyde gave him.
"It's an Ember thing, you wouldn't understand," Clyde replied, styling his wig.
"You do realize she's an evil mind controlling spirit from another dimension?" Jordan asked him with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah, did he forget that?" Jordan asked, confused.
"Maybe he's still under Luna's spell," Lana suggested.
"Yeah, but you said the same thing about Paulina," Clyde retorted with a smirk.
"You know, he has a point," Lincoln said with a smile.
"Right now I agree with her!" Jordan shouted with a frown.
Just then Paulina, dressed as Ember, shouted that the Rockstar was giving away free concert tickets at a mega music store. All the students then started to run out of the school. Mr. Lancer stood in front of the doors, attempting to stop them. Unfortunately he was knocked over and trampled by the stampede of teens.
Lincoln and Jordan were holding one of Clyde's arms, stopping him from following the other students. Lincoln had the arm, while Jordan was holding onto Lincoln. "We're gonna have to deprogram him," Jordan said, trying to help stop their friend. It was then they noticed the position they were in. Jordan immediately let go of him and they both looked away awkwardly and blushing. They eventually got him in the classroom and tied him to a chair. They put him in the Cramtastic, turned it on and left him, letting the machine do its thing.
All the girls, except for Lori, Jordan, and Ronnie Anne, started to laugh or giggle at the scene. Lincoln and Jordan blushed, looking away in embarrassment. Lori glared at her brother, but said nothing. Ronnie Anne gave a subtle glare, not to Lincoln, but to Jordan. Clyde, Bobby, and Lynn Sr. looked at him with happiness or pride.
"I still don't get why we were not affected by Ember's music?" Lincoln asked, as the duo made it to his locker. He made one of his arms intangible and started digging in his locker.
"He can make parts of him ghost?!" Lana said in excitement. "That is so cool!"
"I want to know what his other ghost powers are," Lucy said, with Haiku nodding in agreement.
"Maybe because of your ghost powers," Jordan replied, thinking about the question. "And maybe my-" she was interrupted by her friend.
"Your individuality or intelligence?" He suggested. He pulled a metal thermos out of his locker.
"I was going to say my hatred for the song, but okay," she replied with a shy smile and a blush. "You really think I'm smart?" She asked, the blush never leaving her face. Lincoln could only look away with a shy smile of his own.
This caused the 2 preteens to blush even more. Lori was starting to grind her teeth in rage. Ronnie Anne was clenching her fists in her pockets. Everyone else was looking at the two with smirks or teasing smiles.
"Smooth bro," Luna teased. This comment opened the floodgates and all of them started to join, including Sam, Becky, and Stella. For the next five minutes they teased the two, embarrassing them even more.
"Alright everyone, I think that's enough," Rita said out loud, getting their attention. "We should get back to watching this world." There were some groans, but everyone listened. Lincoln and Jordan gave a silent thank you to her.
"Not so fast!" A new voice said, interrupting the moment. It was a hurt and messed up Mr. Lancer. "You two lovebirds may be the only students left in the entire school…"
"Way to ruin the moment," Becky grumbled, with most of the girls nodding in agreement.
"We're not lovebirds!" Both Lincoln and Jordan shouted.
"...But that's not going to stop me from giving you an education." He then grabbed one of their arms and started to drag them to a classroom. Lincoln and Jordan looked at each other, before nodding and smiling. They held hands and Lincoln made them intangible, allowing them to slip out of their teacher's hand. Lincoln then turned into his Hero form and flew them out of the school. It was only when the Vice Principal made it to the classroom, did he notice the two were gone. "Lord of the Flies! They're slipping through my hands!" He shouted, falling to his knees.
"Those two work well together," Lynn Jr. teased with a smirk, looking at them.
"They can communicate with just looks," Sam said happily. "They have to be very close to do that."
Hearing all this was just making Lori simmer with rage, knowing she couldn't do or say something. Ronnie Anne was doing better, but was becoming more and more frustrated.
The scene changed to Lincoln as Phantom, and Jordan flying above the city to the music store. Jordan was looking down at the city in awe, before looking at Lincoln. She started to stare at him dreamily, from the view she had. Lincoln noticed this and asked her if she was okay. She stuttered out that everything was fine while blushing. Lincoln saw this and smiled while blushing himself. Unfortunately they crashed into a huge standee of Ember on top of the music store, crashing onto the roof.
"Another sweet moment ruined!" Luan whined with a frown. Like before, many of them nodded in agreement.
They went through the roof to get inside. The store was huge and jam packed with teens. All throughout the room were huge Ember standees. In the center of the store was a tower of screens with a platform at the top of them. The screens and speakers were playing Ember's song, as teens party on the ground level. Suddenly Ember appeared on the platform and threw some tickets down below.
"Tell me who you love!" Ember shouted to the people below. The crowd started chanting her name. This caused her hair to become bigger and wilder.
"Hey Luna's hair went all crazy again!" Lola pointed out.
"Yeah that happened before as well," Lisa muttered, finding it suspicious. She wasn't the only one who was suspicious. Lincoln, Lucy, and Haiku are in the same boat.
"Something tells me they're not going to love seeing their idol sucked inside the Fenton thermos," Lincoln said, looking at the ghostly Rockstar.
"Fenton Thermos?" Clyde asked, completely confused.
"The Fenton Thermos is a special ghost catching device created by Lynn and Rita Fenton," Cobalt replied.
"Really? A thermos?" Lynn Jr. commented with a deadpan expression. Cobalt said nothing, only nodding.
Jordan looked around and a smirk appeared on her face. "I think I can distract them," she told her friend. He took her to one of the many huge Ember standees and Jordan started to vandalize it. She drew glasses, mustache, and a soul patch on the standee. "Hey everybody look, it's Ember McLame!" Jordan shouted, getting everyone's attention.
"Boo! That was bad!" Luan shouted with a frown. Her family could only shake their heads at the comedian.
With the chanting stopped, Ember's hair went back to normal. "Oh great, a critic," Ember said, annoyed, before the smile returned. "Maybe you'll like my new song better." She turned a dial on her guitar and prepared to strum a chord. But she never got the chance as Lincoln blasted her with an ecto beam from his hands.
"What was that?!" Lincoln said shock.
"That was another of his powers," Cobalt started to reply. "It's a type of Ecto-Energy Manipulation, more specifically a Ghost Ray. It's a laser of ecto energy."
"That is so cool!" Lana squeals in excitement. Lincoln and Clyde were the same as her.
"Hey, do you take requests?" Lincoln asked her with a frown. "How about beat it."
"Okay, that was a good one," Luna said with a chuckle. Sam joined her, recognizing the song.
"Meh, it was okay," Luan said with a so-so gesture.
Ember hovered to his height with a frown. "How about I just lay down a few power chords instead, Dipstick," she replied. She played a cord and green ecto skulls shot out her guitar. Lincoln tried to open the thermos, but couldn't before the attack hit him. The thermos landed conveniently by Jordan. Ember then disappeared in a whirlwind of purple flames. Lincoln looked around, before heading for the roof.
"What was that?" Lynn Jr. asked stunned.
"That was another power Luna's guitar has," Cobalt replied. "The fiery vortex is her teleporting ability."
"That is so cool!" Clyde, Lincoln, and Lana said at the same time.
"Interesting," Lisa commented, eyeing the ghostly instrument.
"Think of the light show we could do with that guitar," Luna joked to her bandmate with a smirk.
"It certainly would add to our gigs," Sam joked back at her.
"Dipstick? Ho ho, funny," Lincoln said sarcastically, finding her up there. He went to grab her, with Ember fighting back. "Who writes your insults? The same hack who writes your songs?" Suddenly he heard the teens chanting her name. Ember's hair started going wild again, while she got stronger suddenly and pushed him back. "It's the chanting, it's making you stronger," he said in realization.
"Wait? What?!" Luan asked in disbelief.
"So saying her name increases her power," Lisa said, now having a better understanding of what was going on.
"That explains why she asks them who they love," Lincoln commented.
Lucy and Haiku said nothing, but were interested in what these 2 ghosts were capable of. Luna was now getting worried about her ghostly counterpart.
"You got that right Babypop," she told him with a smirk. "And the more kids chanting, the stronger I get!" She then threw him into the large standee, knocking it down so half of it was hanging off the building. She then flew higher than him. "You think I'm strong now? Just wait till midnight, when my concert goes global. And the whole world is chanting my name! Then you'll all be my slaves!" She then played a chord, sending a wave of red ecto energy from her guitar. She blasted Lincoln onto the roof, returning him to his human form.
"What happened to Lincoln?!" Lana said worried, seeing him return to his human form.
"Should Lincoln receive too much damage or use too much energy, he returns to his human form," Cobalt answers her.
"This Luna is crazy!" Lynn Jr. commented with a frown.
"Why do Linky and Luna have to fight each other?" Leni said, upset. She didn't like seeing her siblings fight each other.
Luna was now worried and upset at her counterpart. It was bad enough she was a ghost, but it seems like she was planning to take over the world. Sam noticed her friend's turmoil and started to rub her back.
"It's not just me who finds Luna calling Lincoln Babypop creepy or slightly disgusting, right?" Luan asked with a shaky frown. She was hoping to change the atmosphere that was starting to form.
It took a few seconds, before all the Loud siblings started to voice their agreement or disgust. This did help make sure the mood didn't get too down.
"Lincoln!" Jordan shouted after making it to the roof. She then made her way over to her fallen friend, who was getting back to his feet. She held the thermos, ready to use it.
"Whoa, she got up there pretty fast," Lynn Jr. complimented.
"Of course, she needed to save her boyfriend~" Lola teased with a smirk.
"Ah, teen love~ they say it never lasts," Ember said to them with false sympathy, before the smirk returned. "But nothing distracts teenagers more than hormones. And I need to keep you busy for the next eight hours." She then turned the dial on her guitar again. "I have more than music for you. Now that they're chanting my name, my music can affect you!" She then played another chord, shooting out pink hearts. "So how about a love song!"
The hearts blew Jordan on to the fallen standee, while they flew past Lincoln. Jordan was now on the dangerous side of the standee. Lincoln's eyes were swirling pink before going back to normal. He then gained a dopey smile and looked at Jordan. Said girl gave him a confused look, while Ember smirked at the scene.
"Why does Lame-o have that goofy smile?" Ronnie Anne snickered. While most laughed at his expression, some didn't and narrowed their eyes at the scene. Lincoln, Clyde, Lucy, Haiku, and Lisa felt there was something more going on.
"Well, I think I'll leave the new couple alone," Ember said, satisfied with her work. "Ciao babies," she finished, before going through the roof back into the music store.
"New couple? What is she talking about?" Jordan asked herself confused. Then Lincoln started to climb onto the standee and walk closer to her. "Uh Lincoln, now would be a good time to go ghost and fly me out of here," she said to him, her voice laced with worry. Lincoln ignored her and continued to walk closer, while keeping that dopey smile. "Lincoln, wait! What are you doing?!" She asked in a nervous tone.
"What is he doing?!" Jordan asked with concern and panic. She didn't want to see herself die.
"She's right, Lincoln should become a ghost and get her out of there!" Lana shouted with worry and confusion.
"Why isn't he responding to her!" Lynn Jr. shouted, frustrated with his attitude.
"What did other me do to him?" Luna questioned with worry.
"I think I might know," Lisa said, speaking up. "However, let's continue to watch, I have a feeling we will find out." Lincoln, Clyde, Lucy, and Haiku had a idea of what's going on, so they stayed silent.
"Wow, I just now realized, you look real pretty when you're about to fall off a building," he told her in a love struck voice.
"This is literally not the time to flirt, Lincoln!" Lori screamed at the screen. Her worry for her brother overpowered her rage of Lincoln being with another girl other than Ronnie Anne.
"Lincoln?" She said, confused. Before she realized if he got any closer, they would fall off the building. "Get back! Lincoln!" She shouted in a panic. "Lincoln stop! Don't get any closer!"
"But you're over there and I'm over here, I want to be over there," he said in that same love struck tone.
"Wait, I know that look," Jordan said, calming down and noticing his expression. "That's the same longing puppy dog stare you give to Paulina."
"I knew it," Lisa spoke out loud, getting everyone's attention. "That Lincoln seems to be under a "spell", more specifically a "love spell". It was most likely Luna's last attack before she left."
"That's correct," Cobalt said to the little genius. "That's another power her guitar can do."
"But how did it affect Lincoln?" Luan questions their host. "I thought his ghost powers protected him."
"They did, but that was before Luna got powered up," Lincoln replied for Cobalt.
"Having all those people chanting her name made her strong enough to affect Lincoln," Lucy added.
"People constantly saying her name is like a ritual, a ritual that strengthens the person they are chanting for," Haiku joined in.
"And it looks like most of the city was chanting her name at that moment," Clyde added his piece.
"If she gets that power from just a city…" Lynn Jr. started nervously. "...Then how strong will she get when her worldwide concert starts?" This question made them all start to feel dread at that, none more than the musical Loud.
"But then why isn't Jordan affected?" Stella question. Everyone looked at her, but realized she was right.
"You'll learn that later on, just keep watching," Cobalt replied.
"Who's Paulina?" Lincoln asked, getting closer.
"That's a pleasant side effect," Jordan commented with a smile.
"Now is not the time for that!" Jordan shouted at the screen. Her face was red from a mix of rage and embarrassment.
Lincoln got closer and caused the standee to tilt more. This causes Jordan to slide off and fall, only to be caught by a police swat officer hanging from a helicopter.
Everyone gasped with fear when they saw her fall, but then sighed with relief seeing someone caught her.
"Oh thank goodness," Rita whispered, a hand over her heart.
"It's good she's safe," Becky started saying with a puzzled expression. "But why is a swat helicopter there?" The question sunk in and they realized it was weird.
"That's a good question," Lisa replied. Even she couldn't think of a reason why law enforcement would be there.
Soon the music store was surrounded with swat members and they were rounding up the teens. With Mr. Lancer, somehow, leading the charge. "Attention students!" The Vice Principal said through a megaphone. "By authority of the Mass Grounding Act, you are all under house arrest!" The swat members then started loading the students into their vans. "You will all be returned to your homes to await parental punishment! As for your precious Ember, she's going down!" As soon as he finished, the standee on the roof started to fall where he was. Mr. Lancer got out of the way in time, while revealing Lincoln was on it as it fell. Lincoln was a little dazed, but unharmed.
"That's a real thing?!" Lynn Jr. asked with shock and worry.
"Not in your world," Cobalt replied to the athlete. "This world passes some bizarre laws, ones that your world never would."
"Okay, but why is the teacher in charge?" Sam asked, confused. She doesn't understand why a teacher was leading the police.
"I don't know, maybe because he's also the Vice Principal?" The android suggested. "The adults of this world aren't the brightest."
"He's the Vice Principal?" Rita asked in shock. She couldn't believe this man was the Vice Principal of that awful school. Cobalt only nodded, answering her question.
The scene changed to Lincoln and his older sister Leni, who was dressed like Ember, being thrown into their home. Their parents, Lynn and Rita Fenton, were scolding them for not preparing for the Northwestern Standardized Test. Lincoln was only thinking about Jordan, while Leni was confused why he wasn't thinking of Ember. Lynn suggested putting them into the Fenton Stockade, which was a modern Iron Maiden torture device. They settled on just grounding both of them and sending them to their rooms.
"So Leni is still my sister," Lincoln commented out loud.
"Yeah, and it seems like she is under Luna's hypnosis as well," Clyde said to his friend.
"Yes she is, she's studying to be a psychiatrist," Cobalt told them. Hearing this surprised almost everyone.
"That is one strong love spell," Lynn Jr. said, seeing her brother's counterpart.
"What are those horrid outfits mom and dad are wearing?!" Leni screamed out in horror.
"Hazmat suits, they wear those almost all the time," the android answered the fashion talented Loud.
"Why would I say to put my children in that?!" Lynn Sr. asked horrified and flabbergasted.
"Why would they even have something like that?!" Rita asked, feeling the same as her husband.
"They invent some…odd things," Cobalt started to answer. "As for why he would suggest that. This Lynn is book smart, but not too bright when it comes to other things."
It then showed Lincoln in his room, sitting on his bed, slowly chanting Jordan's name. All around him were pictures of Jordan, some of her make-up and accessories, and a baggy with some of her hair. He then heard knocking on his window and saw it was Jordan. "Jordan! You snuck out to see me!" He said happily. "This is just like Romeo and Juliet. Except I'm the one on the balcony, and I can understand everything we're saying."
"Okay that's just creepy," Ronnie Anne said, slightly disturbed at the scene.
Jordan was looking disturbed as well, while Lincoln was trying to hide from embarrassment. Everyone, even Clyde, found the scene a little disturbing.
"But that's because he's under the spell!" Luna suggested, trying to defend her brother.
"But isn't it romantic! His girlfriend snuck out to see him," Leni gushed.
"I don't think that's what she's doing Leni," Lynn Jr. said to her older sister.
"Lincoln, open up!" Jordan said, being slightly annoyed. He came and opened the window and she climbed inside.
"You want me to open up?" Lincoln asked happily. "Okay, one time when I was five, I really wanted a puppy. But my parents-" he was cut off by Jordan.
"Will you knock it off!" Jordan said in rage, annoyed at his current attitude. "We have to stop Ember's concert before she takes over the world!" She then noticed all the items on his bed. "Okay, even the part of me that is starting to like the attention is getting creeped out now," her expression matching her words.
"I would hope so," Jordan muttered to her counterpart. All the girls nodded in agreement with her.
"It doesn't matter, as long as we have each other," Lincoln said as he came to stand beside her.
Most of the girls "awed" at that. "That's sweet...disturbing, but sweet," Becky cooed.
"Snap out of it!" She shouted, grabbed ahold of his hands. "You don't feel that way about me and I don't feel that way about you!"
"So why are you still holding my hands?" Lincoln asked, after looking down. Jordan immediately let go and walked away in annoyance. "And why are you still wearing those Fenton Phones I gave you?"
"Lincoln there not even real earrings," Jordan retorted, turning around in annoyance. "They're just some stupid communicators that block out…Ghost noise," she came to a realization at the end of the sentence.
"Wait, what was that!" Luan asked, shocked.
"So the ear phones are protecting her?" Sam asked, confused.
"Correct," Cobalt answered. "The Fenton Phones block Luna's hypnotic music."
"Do mom and dad give Fenton to everything they make?" Lincoln questioned their host.
"Yes," he answered. "Everything they make has Fenton in its name."
"Does this mean we're breaking up?" Lincoln asked in a confused manner.
"How can you break up?! You were never together!" Jordan shouted at the screen. Lincoln was wishing this viewing would end already, despite him enjoying this version of him.
"Don't you get it Lincoln?" Jordan said in a happy tone. "That's why I haven't been affected by Ember's music. I've been wearing the Fenton Phones this whole time!"
"So we're not breaking up?" Lincoln asked in a cheerful tone.
Everyone, except Lincoln, laughed at his response.
"How can we be breaking up, we were never together!" Jordan shouted in annoyance. She then grabbed his hand and started to drag him away. "We're going to have to deprogram you like we did Clyde." She stopped suddenly and then realized what she just said. "Oh my gosh, Clyde!"
Everyone laughed that both Jordans said the same thing, then were confused by her worried.
"The school would've freed him right?" Lynn Jr. asked everyone with a raised eyebrow.
"Of course LJ," Lynn Sr. answered.
"Father unit is correct," Lisa added. "The school is a disgrace to education, but even they would check to make sure all students were gone before locking up."
The scene changed to Jordan and Lincoln entering the classroom, with Clyde still tied to the chair and Cramtastic. "Twelve Hours…Of…Intensive…Standardized…Testing" Clyde muttered out.
"It appears I was incorrect," Lisa said, stunned at the scene.
"How did no one notice he was still in the classroom?" Becky asked bewildered.
"This school just keeps getting worse," Rita commented, shaking her head in disbelief. No one else said anything, they were just too stunned.
"Clyde, I'm so sorry," Jordan apologized, as she removed the Cramtastic off his head and freeing him.
"You're beautiful when you're racked with guilt," Lincoln said in a love struck tone.
"Not the time for that," Lynn Jr. said, shaking her head.
"Just how strong is that love spell?" Luna asked no one.
"Not now Lincoln," Jordan replied, still annoyed by his current attitude.
"Man it's about time," Clyde said cheerfully, grabbing both of his friends into a hug. "I always knew you two would end up together."
"We're not together!" Jordan said angrily, pushing Clyde off of her. "Ember put him under some kind of spell."
"So you don't want to end up together?" Clyde asked, confused.
"That's a good question," Stella asked out loud.
"They look totes adorable together!" Leni squealed. Jordan and Lincoln blushed at that comment.
"I don't know, maybe? But not like this!" Jordan replied, her mind scrambled with emotions. "Clyde please, we have to break the spell!"
"Let's crank up the story problems and see him in twelve hours," Clyde said as he put the Cramtastic helmet onto Lincoln's head.
"Really Clyde?" Lincoln said playfully to his friend. Clyde smiled and blushed in embarrassment.
"But Luna's concert will be starting soon!" Lana pointed out.
"Lana is right, they have to stop Luna!" Sam said, before realizing what she just said. "Wow, okay that was weird to say." Luna had mixed feelings hearing her crush saying this.
"We don't have 12 hours," Jordan said, pointing to the clock. The clock showed that they only had 30 minutes till midnight. "Ember's concert starts in thirty minutes. She gets her power when people chant her name. And with a worldwide audience, she'll be unstoppable!"
"Then we better get down to that show and turn down the volume," Clyde said, throwing the helmet off of Lincoln's head. He then started to push them out the door. He then started to say some mathematical equation, almost like he was in a trance. "Wow that thing really works! And I spent the first nine years of my school life actually reading!"
"So that stupid looking thing actually works?" Lola asked in amazement.
"Apparently," Lisa said, rubbing her chin. "Perhaps I should attempt to make such a device. It seems like it would help others learn."
"I don't know if I would want to use such a thing," Becky said with unsure expression. Most of the teens and kids nodded in agreement.
"I would use it," Lynn Jr. spoke up.
The scene changed to the trio managing to sneak backstage into the concert using Lincoln's ghost powers. "Go kill the power, will stand watch," Jordan told Clyde. As Clyde went to turn off the power, Lincoln just stared at Jordan with his love struck expression. Jordan noticed this and started to get creeped out again. "Could you watch something other than me?" She asked him. Lincoln gained a confused look before pulling out a photo of Jordan and started staring at that. Jordan just gave him a deadpan expression at seeing that.
Despite this being creepy, everyone laughed at Lincoln's actions. "That's creepy, but funny," Luan said after chuckling.
Clyde attempted to turn off the power, but in fact turned on the P. A. system. Suddenly the trio were grabbed by three other jocks from their high school acting as security. They would be Dash, Kwan, and Dale. They were then brought in front of Ember, As she was about to go on to the stage.
"Later Dipsticks, I'm about to go rock my world," She said to them with an evil smile. "And when I say my world, I mean my world."
"Okay, this Luna scares me a little," Lana commented.
"Lincoln stop her now," Jordan shouted urgently.
"I won't leave you Jordan," Lincoln replied stubbornly.
"Forget about me!" Jordan ordered.
"I can't, I won't," Lincoln replied, even more stubbornly.
"Well he's devoted, I'll give him that," Becky commented.
"That must be one strong love spell," Luan added.
All the while Ember had started her concert, and it was being broadcasted live globally. Millions of people had begun chanting her name, and she was becoming more powerful by the second.
"I hate to do this to you Lincoln," Jordan said with a grimace, Lincoln just continued to stare at her lovingly. "But if I can't break Ember spell, I'm going to have to break your heart." She then turned around to the person that was holding her, which just happened to be Dash. As he asked what she was doing, she moved forward and kissed him.
This got gasps from all the girls.
"Jordan how could you?" Lincoln asked in a shocked heartbroken tone. "How…hey…get away from her!" He shouted in rage.
The Loud sisters flinched at hearing Lincoln's voice. He may be under a spell, but they still didn't want to see him hurt.
"Ahhh, she tastes like geek!" Dash shouted as he moved away from her.
"Hey! I'm not a geek!" Jordan shouted at the insult.
"Actually, in this world you are," Cobalt told the girl. "Since she hangs out with Lincoln and Clyde, she is seen as a geek."
"Ahhh, he tastes like failure!" Jordan said with disgust as she moved away. This scared the jocks and made them run away, Jordan then turn to Lincoln. "Lincoln, I'm so sorry! I…" Jordan stuttered out, not sure what to say.
Everyone laughed at Jordan's remark, before the mood started to go down.
"You and Dash…" Lincoln said with a depressed expression. "But we were…" was all he could say as he saw her face. "We weren't, were we."
"No, Ember did that," Jordan said in a sad voice. "It's just, so hard because…a part of me really likes this and…"
"He sounds so heartbroken," Leni sadly said.
"This is all Luna's fault!" Lynn Jr. said angrily, punching a fist in her hand. She then blushed, realizing what she just said. "I mean-" was all she said, before Luna interrupted her.
"No, I get it dude," she told her with an upset expression. "Right now I want to put other me in a world of pain."
Lincoln looked away before hearing Embers playing her song. He then glares at the Rockstar. "Ember..." he muttered with his eyes glowing green.
"Lincoln, are you okay?" Jordan asked him with concern.
"No, I feel like my heart has been ripped out," Lincoln replied with his eyes returning to normal. "But I know who I can take it out on!" He shouted before turning into his ghost form. He then takes off for the stage, missing Jordan smiling at him as he leaves.
"Looks like there's still hope," Luan commented, seeing the smile. All the other girls agreed, except for two. Lori and Ronnie Anne looked away with a huff, neither knew they did the same thing. Even Jordan found it to be a little sweet, despite never thinking of the boy that way before.
As Ember just finished singing the chorus of her song. Lincoln appears from out of nowhere and smashes her into a screen above the stage.
"Hey no hit wonder, mind if I join the band?" Lincoln jokes with a smile.
"Ha ha, okay I like this Lincoln!" Luan said while laughing. The rest of her family groaned at his witty banter.
"Linc, don't you start doing this," Lynn Jr. told her brother. Lincoln just gave her a nervous smile. While he did groan with his family, he secretly liked his counterpart's witty banter.
Ember crawls out of the now broken screen and flies down to the stage on her guitar. "Let's get this straight Dipstick," Ember said to him furiously before turning the dial on her guitar. "I don't do duets!" She continued before playing a chord. She shot out a green ecto fist that knocked Lincoln into the stands. Lincoln got back up and went through the floor to get back to the stage. Just as Ember was about to continue singing, he went and pulled the microphone stand away from her.
"Whoa, bro isn't holding back," Luna commented. Not that she was surprised, her counterpart just forced him to experience heartbreak.
"Yeah, but that version of you is strong," Lynn Jr. counter, impressed. "She got sent through a screen and got back up like it was nothing."
"Sorry no vocals in this number," Lincoln said with a smirk, as he held the microphone stand. "Have you considered taking up Mine?" Ember then swung her guitar like a sword at him, which he just jumped over. Lincoln then started to use this microphone stand like how she used her guitar. The two of them use their items as if it was an actual sword fight. Eventually Ember's guitar would prove it was the stronger one other two, breaking the microphone stand Lincoln was using.
Luan laughed at Lincoln's banter, while everyone else was impressed by the fight.
"You can do it Lincoln!" Lana cheered.
"He's doing a decent job fighting," Lynn Jr. critiqued. "What type of training does he do?" She asked the android.
"No training, he's self taught," Cobalt replied. This shocked everyone, they weren't expecting that. "Before he got his powers, he was much like your Lincoln. He played video games and hung out with his friends. Although he preferred astronomy over comic books."
"So he has no fighting experience?" Bobby asked dumbfounded.
"Correct, he only started gaining experience when he started fighting ghosts," their host replied.
Ember having had enough of this, she dropped her guitar and charged her hands with pink ecto energy. She shot them at Lincoln, trapping him in a swirling vortex of pink energy. All this only increased her fans cheering, thinking this was part of the show. "You hear that! They're chanting my name all over the world!" Ember said pointing to the crowd. "The revolution will be televised!"
"How many powers does Luna have?!" Lola shouted in annoyance.
"Not as many as Lincoln, but a fair amount," Cobalt answered her.
"And with people around the world chanting her name, she's only getting stronger," Clyde said nervously.
"She's too strong! If I could just get the crowd to stop chanting..." Lincoln muttered to himself before looking around at his surroundings. "Something horrible to break the spell, like Jordan kissing Dash…" He then looks over to his friends and sees Clyde smiling. "...Or something worse, Clyde sing! Take the mic and sing!" Lincoln shouted, tossing him the microphone.
This got everyone to scream out in confusion. "Why would Clyde singing be worse?" Leni asked the question they were all thinking.
"Wait, you want me to sing?" Clyde asked, confused. "You said I stinked!" He continued a bit annoyed.
"Oh, uh, I was kidding," Lincoln stuttered out nervously, before smiling. "You rock! You rock out loud!"
"You got that right!" Clyde said with confidence, before marching onto the stage. He then started to sing Ember's hit song and his horrible singing voice broke people from her spell. All around the world people stopped chanting and were destroying their TVs from the horrible singing.
"Ahhh! My ears!" Lola screamed over dramatically, while covering her ears. While the others didn't cover their ears, they all cringed at the singing.
"Okay that's bad," Lynn Jr. commented.
"Linc was right, that will definitely break the spell," Luna said grimacing.
"Nothing like bad singing to ruin a great song," Sam commented.
"Do you sing that bad McBride?" Ronnie Anne asked the boy. Lincoln, Jordan, and Stella looked to the boy for the answer.
"No! Of course not!" Clyde replied, slightly offended and hurt at the question. "I may not sing like Luna and her band, but I'm not that bad!"
"Wait! Wait! No stop!" Ember shouted in a panic. She looked up to her head and saw that her fiery hair had gone completely out, leaving her bald. The swirling pink vortex that surrounded Lincoln also vanished. "No, tell me who you love!" She got only blank stares from the crowd. "Come on say it! Say my name!" She fell to her knees and disbelief at what was happening "SAY MY NAME!"
"Nice hairstyle Luna," Lynn Jr. mocked while laughing. All the kids and teens joined in the laughter, while the parents and the goths silently laughed. Luna was horrified seeing her bald head, while Sam tried to comfort her friend while attempting to hold her laughter.
"The only thing we're saying here is goodbye," Lincoln said from behind her. He then opened the Fenton Thermos and a blue energy shot out. The energy hit Ember and she was sucked into the thermos, which Lincoln put the cap back on once she was in. He looked to the ghostly band members that were still there, only for them to vanish.
"So he just captured Luna?" Lana asked, confused.
"How does that device work?" Lisa asked their host.
"Yes, he'll let her go back in the Ghost Zone later," Cobalt started to answer. "As for how it works, I'm not too sure. But it's a very complex and advanced little machine."
"Okay, you can stop now," Lincoln told his still singing friend, before flying backstage. Clyde did stop singing and then looked at the crowd. They had started cheering because he had stopped.
Everyone laughed at the crowd's reaction, while Clyde was slightly embarrassed by this.
As Lincoln made it backstage he went back to his human form. "Lincoln, that was awesome!" Jordan said, giving him a hug, which he returned. Jordan realized what she just did. "I-I guess Ember's spell hasn't quite worn off," she stuttered out with a blush. Lincoln also realizing what they just did, blushed as well.
"You were never under Ember's spell," Clyde pointed out, joining his friends. This earned him an elbow to the gut from Jordan.
"Awe~" Most of the girls squealed at the scene, while Lincoln and Jordan looked away with a blush.
The scene changed to a few days later, Mr. Lancer was talking to the classroom saying how this was the worst Standardized test scores in history, and blaming the Rockstar Ember. However Clyde's perfect score brought the school's average up to normal, which allowed him to get his bonus. Clyde was then excuse from the study session with the Cramtastic machine, and he left the classroom with two nerdy girls on both his arms. Jordan joked to Lincoln about releasing Ember to get them out of this situation. To which Lincoln responded by saying he couldn't and she was busy at the moment.
"Way to go Clydesdale!" Luna cheered with a smile. Lincoln, Jordan, and Ronnie Anne started to tease him, while Clyde could only blush in embarrassment.
"Sign me up to use that!" Lynn Jr. said with a large smile. She would now rather use that machine than to actually study. "Lisa, can you make that machine?"
"It might be possible, but I'm unsure," Lisa told her older sister. "However, without the actual blueprints, it will be challenging."
The scene changed to an icy platform in the Ghost Zone. The still bald Ember was being followed by a large man child ghost in pink pajamas. He was constantly saying her name. Which was annoying the Rockstar ghost, and her shouting for him to stop saying her name.
The screen went black and Cobalt moved in front of it. "That's it for this one, so any thoughts?"
"That place before it ended, was that the Ghost Zone?" Lucy asked.
"Who was that ghost with Luna?" Lincoln asked.
"Why does he just send them back there?" Lynn Jr. asked. "Won't they just go back to the city?"
"You said only Jordan and Clyde knew of his powers," Rita started with a hint of nervousness in her voice. "So did me and Lynn hunt Lincoln?"
"Are there more halfas then Lincoln?" Haiku asked.
"How many ghosts has Lincoln fought?" Lana asked.
"First, yes that was the Ghost Zone," Cobalt started to answer. "Now that was just a small part of it, the Ghost Zone is massive. There is one other halfa, but I'm not sure if you'll see them. That ghost that was with Ember at the end, was a ghost named Klemper. Why he sends ghosts back is because of two things. One is he won't kill them, assuming he can. And two, he doesn't have a way to keep them contained. So yes, they do come back later on and he has to capture them again. Yes you and your husband do hunt him, but you're not the best hunters. As for how many ghosts Lincoln fought. I don't know the exact number, but it was a fair amount. He has and will fight enough enemies to have his own rogues gallery."
"Ghost can died?" Stella asked, a bit nervous at hearing that.
"They can, but it's rare," Cobalt replied.
"Do me and Girl Jordan help Lincoln fight ghosts?" Clyde asked hesitantly.
"You do," the android replied. "You both use his parents' inventions to help him."
"How did Rita and I meet?" Lynn Sr. asked curiously.
"You both met in college, dated, and eventually married," Cobalt answered the father.
"Was me, Sully, or Mazzy around when Luna was alive?" Sam asked in a unsure tone.
"No and even if you were, you probably wouldn't have been friends with her," their host replied.
"What about me and Bobby?" Ronnie Anne asked. "Clyde, Lame-o, and Girl Jordan are there, what about us?"
"You, I'm not sure," the android started to reply. "However Bobby is there, and that's all I'll say on that."
"I guess that was fun, despite the embarrassing moments," Jordan muttered.
"Well if there's nothing else, I'm going to go wait for the next orb," Cobalt said. He then snapped his fingers and medicine appeared in front of the group. "You might need this when you rewatch some of the older worlds."
As he walked off, the new guests looked at the others for an explanation. While some looked nervous, they eventually started to explain. Needless to say, there was one world they didn't want to rewatch.
