The Loud Awakening

Prologue

Me: I don't know. This seems like a tad too much. Maybe I should stick to short stories for now…
Inner Me: That's weakness talking! Do it, ya wuss!

So, yeah. My second fanfic, with this one being the first with multiple chapters. Also going for a Powers/Non-human Loud siblings AU story with this, so wish me luck. Like my first fic, constructive criticism and advice are very much appreciated.

I do not own Loud House. Chris Savino, however, does.

Downtown Royal Woods. 10:30 P.M.

You would think a small city like Royal Woods wouldn't have a downtown, but it does. Sure, it's not as big as, say, Detroit, but it still gets the job done like the big cities do. Restaurants, businesses, media hubs, radio stations, stadiums, you name it. This city has it. And it shows even more once the sun goes down. Night clubs and bars become the main attraction when night falls, with tall buildings and a few skyscrapers dotting the city's skyline.

It is on one of these skyscrapers, with it's long spire spearing toward the night sky as the moon shined dull in the starry night sky, where we beheld a curious sight. This sight being a lone male figure, sitting on one of the ledges at the base of the spire and gazing down at the city that sprawled before him. Several intriguing factors were about this mysterious being stood out. For one, his small size. He looked young. Very young. Most likely, this boy was of pre-teen age. Secondly, his choice of wardrobe. The boy was dressed up like, for all intents and purposes, a classic knight. From head to toe, he was clad in burnt orange armor, with a small blue cape draped down his back. Now, seeing a young knight sitting atop of a skyscraper at night would be a sight many people would acquaint to being a bit…..abnormal.

Those many would be correct, in most circumstances. And it was about get even more abnormal, for he was not alone on this night.

Several feet behind the boy stood one of the building's generators.

The generator itself was of no significance.

It's shadow, however, was.

For, out of that very shadow, another figure emerged.

This one seemed even smaller than the boy and more feminine, as well. The figure was completely clothed in a black cloak, with a hood that fully obscured the wearer's face as it silently walked up and stood behind the boy.

Sensing a presence, the knight turned around. Upon the seeing the cloaked being, the boy spoke.

"Ah, Lucy. How be your patrol this night? Tis everything alright?", he asked, in a somewhat Ye Olde way of speaking for some reason.

Upon being asked that question, the figure raised a pale hand from out of it's cloak and lowered it's hood, revealing the pale white face of a young girl, the bangs of her black hair completely shielding her eyes from view.

"All is well and quiet in East Royal Woods, dear brother. A petty theft here and there, but nothing a flash of my eyes and a bit growling couldn't scare off.", Lucy replied in a monotone as she joined her brother on the ledge. As she sat down, light began to shine from knight's helmet. It brightened for one second before slowly vanishing, revealing the head and face of a boy with white hair, brown freckles, blue eyes and a caring smile.

"That's good news, sister! Let us hope the others had as much of a boon as you did.", Lincoln quipped.

"And that she did, indeed!", a voice cried out.

Both brother and sister looked to their right to see a another figure come flying in.

Literally.

This newcomer, a girl in her teens, had large wings where her arms were suppose to be, adorned with yellow feathers. Her legs, mid-thigh down, were similar to that of an ostrich, only brown, slicker and more graceful. Her scaly feet ended with four toes, three in the front and one in the back, each ending with razor sharp talons. She also had a long tail feather coming out just above her butt. The winged girl wore a white sleeveless shirt and yellow short shorts that had a checkerboard pattern to them. Her light brown hair was tied in a ponytail. She also had buck teeth with braces.

"Hey, Luan.", spoke Lucy as her older sister landed beside them.

"How be your end of things?", queried Lincoln.

"Stopped an armed robbery in progress. Nothing says swift justice like a bit of foul wind in their sails. Hehehe! Other than that, not a creature was stirred.", Luan answered as she sat(or roosted, rather) on Lincoln's other side.

Lincoln was going comment on a job well done when the sound of thunder was heard. The three siblings looked up to the sky and and saw lightning arcing across the sky. Strangely enough, the night's forecast didn't call for any thunderstorms.

Even stranger was the fact that this lightning in particular wasn't blue or white.

It was purple.

Suddenly, a streak of the oddly-colored lightning struck the spire, but it didn't stop there. It coursed and coiled down the spire's length before halting at the base. Then, in a display of defying physics, it jumped out and hovered as a ball behind the trio. As the siblings watched, the lightning began to give itself a humanoid form. Once the form was completed, it exploded in a shower of electrical sparks. There, in the aftermath of the explosion, stood another teenage girl who appeared to be a bit taller than Luan. This new arrival had short brown hair in a pixie cut, freckles and had purple eyeshadow on her eyes. She wore a black Metallica t-shirt and a lavender plaid skirt with purple boots. However, the most distinguishing aspects of this new girl was that she had what appeared to be brown weasel ears coming out of the top of her head, as well as a long and bushy brown tail coming out from the top of her butt. There were also patches of brown fur found on her forearms and from the knees down.

Purple electricity sparked off the girl's body as she greeted the three siblings.

"S'up, mates!", she exclaimed in a raspy voice, complete with a British accent.

"Hey, Luna.", Luan responded.

"Was the light show really necessary? You know how Lori is about bringing unwanted attention to ourselves.", droned Lucy as Luna sat beside her.

"Nah, people aren't going to suspect lightning striking a skyscraper. We're good. Besides, rockstars always make an appearance."

"And the North?", questioned Lincoln.

"Our home turf is safe and sound, dude. No trouble to report.", Luna said in reply.

"Excellent! Now, all is left is for-"

WOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSH!

Lincoln wasn't able to finish his statement as a green blur streaked past the four siblings, neon highlights trailing as it banked around in a wide circle before heading straight for the siblings. The green blur begins to slow down halfway. By the time it has reached the four, it has stopped and was currenting hovering in front of them.

Turns out this green blur was yet another girl. The youngest one yet, practically a toddler. She had shaggy brown hair and was wearing a green turtleneck sweater with pink pants. Of course, going along with the running theme of "abnormal", this girl had something that made her distinguishing as well. Which came in the fact that the girl looked part mecha. Her legs were futuristic-looking jet boosters and had sleek thrusters coming out of her back, all of which glowed a vibrant green. She also had a green holographic visor in front of her face before it vanished, revealing her wearing glasses.

"Greetings, fellow siblings.", the girl greeted, with a lisp and a odd cybernetic echo to her voice.

"Hey, Lisa.", the four children answered back.

"Seeing as how you three are all here, I can assume that your patrols have been successful?"

"Yep!", "Yes." and "Right-oh, mate!" were heard as Luan, Lucy and Luna responded.

"And is all well in the South, dear sister?", the sole brother asked.

"Only one discrepancy occurred during my surveillance. A runaway sedan containing a drunk driver was about crash into a nightly Bible session being held at a local church. Fear not, I was able to neutralize the vehicle and dropped the inebriated man off at the nearest police station. I left a note detailing the man's actions for the authorities to read.", reported Lisa as she hovered over and sat down next to Luan, her thrusters receding into her back and her boosters shifting back into a pair of human legs, complete with brown shoes.

"Great job, Lisa. As for Downtown, I was able thwart several muggings and sway a few drunkards myself from driving home. Tis small now, but thou knowth in thine heart that we are making a difference at keeping Royal Woods safe.", Lincoln commented.

"On that, I concur with you, brother of mine." quipped the child prodigy as she raised a hand, a holographic screen appearing in front of the siblings, showing several graphs and data. "Given that we have been actively patrolling the four quadrants of our hometown for the past 2 and a half months, crimes rates have gone down by 20%. If we keep this rate up, we should be able to get that number up to 30% by the end of the year, 35 if we put our backs into it. Which sounds like something of a challenge that I'm sure Lynn will fondly appreciate."

"Oh, I'm sure that prospect will get her all sorts of fired up. Hehehe! Get it?", joked Luan. Her siblings groaned in response as Lisa's screen blinked out of existence.

"Still, even if it is that small, it does feel good knowing we're making that much of a difference." quipped Luna as she laid her hands behind her and leaned back, relaxed as she viewed the stars and heavens above.

"I agree. Though there is still much to be done in this dark and harsh world, it….warms my heart knowing we're doing good.", Lucy added, a small smile appearing on her visage as she laid her head on her brother's shoulder.

"Small steps often grow into giant leaps, little sister. We'll get there. Eventually.", Luan said with a smile as she extended her wing to wrapped around both Lucy and Lincoln before laying her head against Lincoln's.

"Took the words right out of my mouth, dear sister of mine.", Lisa spoke with a small grin as she took in the sight of Royal Woods below her.

"Aye. T'was long road we have traveled, thus far. And we still have much to travel yet. But whatever may come our way, we'll be there to face it thusly. Together.", concluded Lincoln, steel resolve and conviction evident in his voice. His sisters nodded in agreement as they sat in comfortable silence.

Yes. These five children, along with their other sisters, have been through many hardships and pain within the past several months.

Matter of fact, within the past year and a half.

And who would've thought that all of this began….

…..on a day of bad luck.

To Be Continued…
