Summary:
A normal morning...in a not so normal world
Thunder.
Roars.
Flashes of lightning
The hiss of multiple snakes.
A giant rock falling.
"Uggg" Lincoln Loud struggle as he opened his eyes as the morning sun began entering through his window "man...that crazy dream again" he said as he stood and stretched "ugg last time i eat fridge pizza that have been there for a week" he grunted before opening his window "well time to start a new day"
WHINE!!!
A pegasus horse suddenly flew up to his window.
"Morning officer Shoffner" he greeted "busy night?"
On the back of the flying horse was a women with a cap and badge of a cop..yet was dressed in a set of armor carrying a spear and a shield.
"Morning Lincoln, a bit..fortunately this time was just a swarm of giant scorpions someone mixed with a Manticore" the woman shook her head "seriously! all the department mobilized just for some giant bugs"
"Better safe than sorry i suppose" said the boy with a shrug
"yeah..well at least the kids of the academy got a good practice" added the officer.
"Hey lady!!!" a gruff voice sounded as they turned to see mr Grouse "you better get that flying pest off my lawn!! if i found even one mound of horse poop i will call the police!"
"I AM THE POLICE YOU OLD MAN!" the officer called back.
"Well than start acting like it!" Grouse hollered back before grumbling under his breath, "honestly back in my day a officer of the law cleaned up after their animals."
"Uggg" Shoffner grunted "i better leave..after the night we have both me and swiftwind here need a good breakfast and a nap"
"Gotcha.." Lincoln said with a nod before offering a wave, "But it was good talking to you."
"Same Lincoln" said the officer "send your sister my thanks for her help" she added before flying away.
In the process Lincoln turned to the street where he could see a couple chariots being pulled by bulls, lions, flying serpents, birds; people flying or opening portals.
"confused?" asked Lincoln to the audience "well dont be..this is actually quite normal for a morning here in Royal woods..home of the Skyrus academy..or the academy for young gods" he added before entering his room "And that's right you heard me.." he continued "I said gods.." He said with a smirk, "Confused?" He asked with a chuckle, "Well let me explain..."
He pulled down a projector screen; the lights went dark as multiple symbols appeared on screen.
"Myths and legends are actually real" started Lincoln "each of the different deities, mythical figures, gods and the like excited in the past" he said as the slide changed "you know the big names like zeus, Odin, the jade emperor, Pele...the like they all existed" he turned to the audience "and yes i said existed in past sense" he continued "its not known what caused the gods to vanish...what DO is know its that they werent exactly gone..their essence pass over to the one creation they all had in common" a picture of the Vitruvian Man appeared "us humans" he raised an eyebrow. "Shocker I know..." Lincoln said with a little smirk, "And it only gets more surprising from here."
Change of image to a kid floating controlling the weather.
"when I said their essence passed over to us wasnt kidding, literal some people bang developing the powers and characteristics of the old gods" change to girl with wings "not everyone mind you but soon we could have pantheons worth of the now called new gods" change to a picture of a UN meeting "so it was decided to help find those kids and help them train with their powers" change image of multiple monsters "and good thing cause not only gods are real but also the monsters of mythology" At this Lincoln gave a tired sigh, "And believe me when I say to say that their handful is a understatement." He said rubbing at his face "specially since some can be kill...but then, somehow, return again" he added "so having gods to keep them under control is a need" he then showed a picture of a big white and blue colored building that looked like a mix of a castle and a temple "so in order to help train the new gods, academies like Skyrus were founded around the world" he added turning the projector off "and since having kids with literal control over elements and the likes could be dangerous in big cities, they choose to build them in towns like Royalty woods...as such we receive godly kids from other towns..adding to those on our town" Lincoln finished as he changed to his normal clothes and opened the door. "which let me tell you can be quite handful too"
Only to come across a salmon flapping on the floor with some buckets with water spilled around.
Lincoln blinked.
"case and point" said Lincoln to the audience before turning to the fish "Hey Luan..what happened ? had hiccups again?"
"Ah hey Lincoln.." The fish said back with a slight sigh, "Probably only the down side to being able to shape... hiccup...shift!" She said before hiccuping again and changing into a mouse.
"Hiccup!"
A goat.
"Hiccup!"
A pig.
"Hiccup!"
A horse.
"sigh...want me to get Luna for you?" he asked knowhingthat his sisters music could cure things like hiccups in one go.
"That would..hiccup!" Luan turned into a goose "great thanks..hiccup!" And then a turtle that landed on the back of it's shell.
"of coarse...try holding your breath meanwhile" said Lincoln steeping over the turtle and start walking down the hallway "as you can see my sister Luan is one of said godly kids" said Lincoln to the audience "and she is not the only one" he added "basically all my older sisters are" he added "some are good..some are more handful to deal with"
CAW!!!!
"Ahhhh!!!" Lincon jumped back in fright as a peacock almost double his size suddenly cawed in his face.
"Literal Lincoln watch were you going!" in front of him was a blonde girl holding a staff with a blooming lotus flower on the tip "you almost gave poor Argos a fright"
"Hey it's not fault he doesn't seem to like me!" Lincoln snapped back with a huff; honestly he didn't know why but from day one that bird had always given him the stink eye for some reason "also, why are you dressed like that?" he asked noticing the girl dressed in a white tunic, golden sandals and bracelets and of coarse a crown on her head "aren't those clothes reserved only for school practices and tournaments?"
"Of course you wouldn't understand.." Lori said with a eye roll scowling at him, "this all about embracing our heritage and history.." she said proudly before giving a smug smirk, "plus I look really good in this outfit" she giggled, "Boo boo bear can never take his eyes off me when I wear it" she gave a loving sight "he knows how to treat a real queen" she added in delight.
LORI LOUD-REINCANATION OF HERA (GREEK)
"tch real queen as if!" the pink wearing Lola loud called with anger as she walked out he room "just wait until I learn who my god was THEN I will show you a real divine queen!"
"sure you will." Lori said rolling her eyes as she gave an annoyed groan this having become a recurring topic when it came to her little sister.
"I will!!!" cried Lola
Lincoln turned to the audience.
"Kids don't know if they are godly or not until they are 10" he explained "why? who knows...but at that age the relics of old gods seems to react to a kid and in turn also know which god or mythical figure he or she is reincarnation of" he added before feeling a peck on his foot "Ouch!!!" he jumped as Argos tried to peck him again. "Which...of course means...i'm mortal out of a family of immortals.." Lincoln said with a groan while trying to get away from the peacock "or at least I am for now" he added trying to bat the bird away "at 10 none of the relics reacted to me...and until Lucy's 10 birthday all my younger sisters are also mortal..well except one" he added as a chain and collar suddenly tied the peacock by the neck.
"you ok my male sibling?" asked the spectacle wearing Lisa as she walked next to him holding at the chain which glowed forcing the peacock to sit down.
she was dressed in a dirty apron and had burn blacksmith mask on her face and burn marks on her arms but she didnt seem bothered by them.
LISA LOUD-REINCARNATION OF HEPHAESTUS (GREEK)
"I'm good Lisa thanks" Lincoln said with a sigh of relief "just a typical morning in the Loud house." He said with a shrug before shooting the peacock a look "honestly wish I understood why Lori bird hates me so much."
"That do is the query my male siblings" said Lisa "but until we find an answer maybe this new taming chain I made will keep it from trying to cause you physical harm" she said.
"what the..? LISA I told you to stop testing your tools on my bird!!!" Lori called in anger.
"Apologies eldest sister..." Lisa said lifting up her burn mask, "but until Argos stops attacking our male sibling I find such measures necessary."
"well maybe Lincoln should stop messing with him" the incarnation of Hera called back.
"Me?!! I haven't done anything to him yet since you brought him he haven't stop trying to pecking my eyes out each time he sees me!" Lincoln protested.
"And yet you are the only one he gives any trouble." Lori retorted back with a huff "So obviously you literally must be doing something to him." she added with a stern scowl.
Lincoln narrowed his eyes feeling quiet insulted..and angry.
"tch whatever..I will tell mom and dad about the chain" he said "even they know you cant control that bird"
"I can control him just fine!" Lori snapped after him with a slight insulted scowl.
"Oh yeah? then why you never use that chariot you got with him to go to the academy?" challenged Lincoln.
"On that he is right" said Lisa "as the new Hera you are suppose to travel using a chariot pulled by peacocks yet never once you have tried to use Argos to do so"
"huff what a queen..cant even control her steed" mocked Lola.
"I..I..I just don't want to give him more than he can handle!" Lori protested defensively "I mean...chariot pulled by peacocks as in more than one!" she added with a huff
"And he already is almost as tall as Lynn I think he can take it" added Lincoln crossing his arms.
"Plus he is a blessed creature...so he should be fine" added Lisa.
"she is just afraid she cant control him and end up crashing" mocked Lola again.
"I..I..grrr i'll show you!" Lori snapped back glaring at them, "I'll get to school and back with him pulling the chariot today no problem!"
"Aha...I will pay to see that" said Lincoln
"Grrr dont you have to go get Luna?!" Lori exclaimed "you get to that before Luan turns into something to big or heavy for the hallway"
"Hiccup!"
A walrus appeared behind them.
"Case in point.." Lori said flatly with a sigh face palming, "she really needs to get more of a handle on her shapeshifting."
"I will get Luna" said Lincoln giving the now calm Argos one last glare before rushing down the hall.
"As you can see things can get quite chaotic in the morning" continued Lincoln as he reached a door "fortunately not all mss sisters are like that" he said opening the door and received the sound of a full orchestra plying inside "For example there's my musical gifted sister Luna" Lincoln said with a laugh and smile.
Inside the room multiple instruments were floating around with a sunset-colored aura around them as they sounded in perfect harmony in a concert.
In the center of all (and personally playing a guitar) was Luna in her typical shirt, skirt, boots outfit..but in her head was a moon shaped crown with a group of golden reeds coming out of it.
"Hey bro!" Luna smiled over at him once she spotted him, "Here to join me for a morning ballad?" she asked with smile
LUNA LOUD-REINCARNATION OF MERET (EGYPTIAN)
"Hahahaha would love sis..but in reality I need your help" said Lincoln with a smile "Luan is having hiccups again"
"Ah again.." Luna said with a nod and wince, "sheesh that's the 5th time this week and it's only Monday..." she said with a snort
"yeah we really need to have her to sit down and tell us if she has been drinking too much soda or something" added Lincoln "but for now we need your music out here"
"You got it dude.." Luna said strumming her guitar, "wherever my music's need i'm there bro" she told him with a grin while heading out of the room with a rocker slide and giving off a guitar riff.
Waves of red energy moved like fire across the hallway reaching the now seal Luan...it covered her and soon anew flash of light happened.
"ufff...whoa that experience certainly seal the deal with my powers hahahaha" Luan called now back to normal; a girl with light brown hair, prominent buck teeth, silver braces; dressed in a a white sleeveless shirt, a yellow skirt with a checkerboard pattern, yellow socks with a line pattern that are worn all the way up, and brown shoes.
In her face was a tattoo or a rune of two draconic serpents bitting each other´s tails.
LUAN LOUD-REINCARNATION OF LOKI (NORSE).
"You good sis?" Luna asked with an arched brow as Lincoln stepped up with a frown.
"Yeah this has been getting out of hand lately." He said with a crossed arms "Im starting to think we need to get some professional help about this.."He admitted looking over at Luan "before you accidentally hurt yourself with out of control shape shifting."
"Pfff nahhh all is fine dont worry about it...Im just..shaping my thoughts and shifting perspectives hahahahaha" Luan called.
"huff she is fine" said Lori with a dismissive tone "lets go get breakfasts and stop losing time"
"Indeed we do have a big day ahead of us if i'm not mistaken." Lisa added to the side with a nod before giving a frown "though our male sibling might be in correct in it being wise to seek some specialized aid for Luan later if this problem continues as it has been."
"oh please what he could know about how godly powers work?" called Lori without a care "he is just trying to sound smart"
HISSSSS
"Kyaaaa!!!" Lori jumped in fright
BOOM
BAM
CRASH
And, unfortunately, it happened when she was giving the first step on the stairs making her fall all the way down.
"Uggg LUAN!!!!" she cried from the bottom "LITERAL I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!!!"
The joker girl blinked.
"but that wasnt me" she said confused
"THAN WHO WAS IT!?" Lori demanded with a wince from the bottom of the stairs while giving a groan.
"Like Lori are you okay?" Before hearing a friendly air headed voice speak up right above her with an undercurrent of concern.
Entering the house (carrying a towel) dressed in a two piece aqua green bikini that accentuated a MAGNIFICENT figure was another blonde looking at her sister in some worry.
"what the...LENI!!!" cried Lori standing up "WHAT ARE YOU DOING DRESSED LIKE THAT?!"
"Oh? I was outside taking the first sun rays of the morning" answered Leni with a sincere smile "I dont know why but when I woke this morning I felt really cold so I went out to have the sun heat me up"
At this Lori blinked while shooting her sister a blank look.
"Urg just help me up and go get dressed properly!" she ordered with a scowl up at her sister, "You can worry about getting a tan later!"
"Ok" called Leni with a smile pulling out a seashell..from somewhere and raise it up.
A small torrent of water covered the girl.
Then it stopped showing Leni now dressed in a "causal" outfit with a blush, pants and a bandana on her head.
"ummm no"
Another splash of water.
Now a Christmas theme dress
"out of season"
Another splash
now a flamingo costume
"Uhh pretty!!" she called
"No!" called Lori
"ufff fine"
Another splash now a blue colored dress
"Almost..."
Another splash and she was in her typical a seafoam green dress, with white frills, and triangular sleeves; hoop earrings, white slide slip-on sandals, topped with light green bows, and a pair of rounded white sunglasses with black lenses on top of her head.
"READY!!" she called making a pose
LENI LOUD-REINCARNATION OF APHRODITE (GREEK)
"Grrr I hate her power let her do that" huffed Lola in jealousy.
Before turning at the sound of a new voice.
"Pfft so she change her clothes big whoop." Spoke out the arriving form of a girl juggling what seemed to be bowling balls.
she was a tall (6ft) muscled girl with brown hair in a ponytail. her choice of clothing was what one could consider amazonian with red armored skirt and chest armor with a lion head cloak on her shoulders.
"Actually as reincarnation of Aphrodite she also have the power of love and beauty...although in the former she haven't had much results at the time to create couples" said Lisa.
"Lynn what are you doing?" called Lincoln "you know mom and dad forbidden you to juggling things heavier than a melon after you demolished the roof last time!"
"Hey it's all in good fun." Lynn said back with a shrug, "And until Lisa finishes up that exercise machine she promised it's not like I can get a good work out." she added with a slight scowl.
she grabbed the three balls and then crushed them with her hands
"see what I mean?"
LYNN LOUD JR-REINCARNATION OF HERCULES (GREEK)
"Didnt you went out last night to fight giant scorpions?" asked Lincoln.
"pff as if some big bugs can count as even warm up" scoffed Lynn "I was promise a manticore!!!" she stopped her foot causing the house to tremble. "I mean don't get me wrong I love these gals.." She added flexing her arms and kissing her muscles "But what's the point in being strong if you aren't tested to your limits." she added with a annoyed huff "I mean, bad enough i'm not allowed on some of the regular sports teams."
"Do i have to remind you you were given a change with the football team as long as you controlled your strength and end up sending the ENTIRE contrary team to the hospital at the first tackle?" asked Lincoln "not to emotion the crater you opened on the field when you tried to do a victory dance"
At that Lynn flushed and gave a embarrassed cough.
"Probably not my best moment.." she agreed with a sheepish grin before adding with a sigh, "but still sucks though." she added with crossed arms.
"Maybe but good news, because of your improvement at the academy your ban was reduced to only 5 more years" said Lisa "as long as you prove you can control yourself"
"Great just in time for graduation whoopee." Lynn cheered out sarcastically with a eye roll.
"At least you still have the academy tournament" said Lincoln "you always can show off your strength there"
"Hehw true" Lynn said with a smirk flexing, "And you can cheer me on as my number one fan." She told Lincoln with a warm smile though with a bit of concern in her eyes
As ever since it seemed like that he unlike his older sisters had missed out on the whole godly reincarnation deal and the power that came with it she was one of those that had become a bit more overprotective of him and also more concerned for him.
"That is if you dont lose again against that Taylor girl" mocked Luan.
In a second Lynn turned to her.
"SHE CHEATED!!!" Lynn roared causing the whole house to tremble "INSTEAD OF FIGHTING HEAD ON SHE SENT THOSE PESTS OF HERS TO MESS WITH ME!!!"
"Hahahaha oh yeah was fun how you almost tore out your armor that day" laughed Luan much to the ire of her sister.
"She is the reincarnation of the goddess of poisonous animals" added Lisa "you should have suspected she would do that"
Lynn let out a dangerous growl.
"It's still cheating!" she said stomping her foot with a scowl, "if it had just been a straight out fight I would of pummeled her!"
"HEY WHATS HAPPENING?!!" the voice of their father called as he peaked his head from the kitchen "JR! stop topping your foot like that!!!" he ordered "we haven't finish paying the repairs from the last time yet!"
Lynn winced before calling out sheepishly.
"Sorry dad!"
"just come to have breakfast...you all have school attend" he called.
"Oh and someone can call Lana?" asked their mom holding baby Lily. "think she is in the garage"
"The garage?" asked Lori "what is she doing so early there?"
"I think she is trying to see if can use pieces of that chariot you have to repair Vanzilla" said Rita "as you dont use it she wants to see if at least the parts are usable"
"Wait SHES WHAT?!" Lori exclaimed before rushing off to stop her sister from messing with her chariot
"never use it and the day she will use her Lana tried to dismantle it" said Lincoln shaking his head "talk about bad luck"
HISSSS
"Hera do was one unlucky goddess" a voice sounded making all the siblings jump in fear...except Lincoln.
"Hey Lucy" he simply greeted her "was wondering when you would appear"
"I swear the fact you can detect where and when she will simply appear must be godly somehow" called Lola with some anger at being surprised like that.
"Eh more like me just knowing my sisters.." Lincoln told her with a shrug and slight amused smirk.
That was something he could do for quite a while...no matter where her sisters were or if they trie to hide, he could always pinpoint them.
"umm still a challenge for me to surpass" said Lucy in flat tone.
"Don't expect me to make it easy for you" Lincoln told her with a teasing smirk.
With that the loud kids went to have breakfasts.
"So everyone exited by the exhibition today?" asked their father.
"Oh you literally know it.." Lori said with a proud smug tone.
"yeah nothing like showing our stuff and packing in the adoration of a bunch of kids." Lynn jr added in with a amused snort.
"Skyrus and other academies like to put up this exhibitions at least twice on the school year" said Lincoln to the audience "the god kids come down to the mortal schools and show of their powers for the admiration of others" Lincoln scoffed "sure its nice to see and all..but sometimes I cant help but feel we are only feeding their egos"
"now girls I know you are excited" his mom called for attention "but me and other parents received words this year they plan to take some of their...ehem..capture beasts for showcase and we cant help but worry"
"pff dont worry mom" Lynn called "I know what they are bringing" she boasted "after all I helped capture like half of them" she added flexing her muscles.
"Hmm none the less.." Rita Loud mother and matriarch of the loud family shot her younger children a concerned look, "your father and I, not to mention a number of other parents, can't help but worry if that's safe." she explained with a frown, "not every child is born with supernatural powers to protect themselves."
Lola huffed at that and Lincoln couldnt help but feel a bit annoyed.
"If it ease your worries mother" called Lisa "I helped upgrading the cages and I trust my capabilities to do an excellent work"
"And we will make sure to keep an eye our bro and sis all the time" added Luna.
"Well.." Rita shared a glance with her husband Lynn Loud Sr. "I suppose if you think you got this handled.." she said a bit tentatively, "But I still want the rest of you to be careful." she added sending her younger children a stern look, "Which means no sneaking into the cages or trying to let those beasts out Lana!" She added with a firm glare to her animal loving daughter.
"not even a peak?" the tomboy twin called.
"NO!" sentenced her parents
"Oh, also some of the first year new gods will have their first exhibition today" called Luna before turning to Lincoln "maybe you will be able to talk with Clyde and your old buddies again"
"Hehe...yeah...sounds great." Lincoln said putting on a strained smile while his eye twitched and his grip tighten on his spoon.
Yeah turns out his old friends do were godly.
And its not like he was jealous or anything...ok maybe just a little..and maybe a bit more sad than jealous.
At the start he do was quite supportive of them...Clyde was his best friend god or not and he made sure to help boost his morale up after the ceremony.
Yet after they went to Skyrus while he remained in normal elementary..something change...less and less they met up...and more and more calls became ignored.
And a part of Lincoln couldn't help but think and feel like he wasn't important or special enough to be their friend just because he wasn't born with special freakish powers! A dark part of him thought spitefully
After all who'd want to be friends with Lincoln Loud the boy doomed to be overshadow by his older oh so special sisters and if Lisa any indication his younger ones too!
HISSSSS
"Luan no shapeshifting in the table!" called their father.
"But im not doing that" called the joker also looked confused "who here is hissing?!" she asked to the others not liking to be blamed for something she havent done.
"Not me.." Lana said shaking her head.
"isn't me either dude." Luna said with her own shake frowning looking around "But I do hear it too.." she added while Lori spoke with a frown.
"Lana did you sneak a snake into the house?" the eldest sister asked one of the twins sternly.
"Ehhhh....maybe?" Lana blushed "but is a small one"
In that moment a two headed red snake emerged from her overalls.
"And of coarse..its the bicephalous-fire breathing type" said Lisa in flat tone.
"fire what?!" the others yelled and the snake (scared by the sound) set the table on fire.
"LANA!" Many of the Louds yelled out as they worked to put out the flames as quickly as possible
Lincoln sighed..just another typical morning in the Loud house...He could only hope the rest of the day to be better.
Close by he didnt noticed Lisa looking at him in suspicious.
