Hey guys, this is Threebranch. Before I start this story, I just want to say that if any of you haven't checked out Duncanville, I highly recommend you watch it.

If I had to summarize Duncanville in a single word, it would be 'refreshing.' Because it reminds me so much of what makes animated family sitcoms great in the first place before they would go downhill, while at the same time, modernizes the overall setting.

On a scale of 1 to 10, it's an absolute 10 from me!

Anyway please enjoy this crossover that I wrote for all of you. Please.

Duncanville Gets Loud!

It's now late at night but there's a crowd in town that's doing the exact opposite of sleeping.

They're all sitting as audience members at a studio applauding their favorite late night show host, Tristan Branch. (self insert, couldn't resist)

Tristan Branch is a man in his 20's with dark hair and glasses, dressing exactly like every late night talk show host would dress like.

Across from him sits an 11 year old white haired boy. Even though it's late at night and he's indoors doesn't stop him from wearing sunglasses while also giving his hair one of those 70's looks. You know the ones. The leather jacket and jeans are also a nice add on.

This boy is looking to show off. And he is.

Tristan starts talking while the audience starts to clap more slowly.

"Welcome back to the Tristan Branch Show! I'm your host, Tristan Branch!

Sitting right in front of us right now is the grand champion of 'Guilds of Glory':the MMO RPG that is currently sweeping America… Lincoln Loud!"

Lincoln waves to the audience as they cheer for him. Tristan continues.

"Not only has he and his team managed to win the latest national tournament, but he also managed to break… pretty much every single record in online gaming that my staff tried to find."

He then looks away from the audience and looks at Lincoln.

"Lincoln… the one question that… gotta be on all our minds right now: What's the secret to your success?"

Lincoln keeps the grin on his face as he answers Tristan's question.

"Well, Tristan, if you live a life like mine, there are times that you think to yourself, like you don't want to think of things about yourself. But you end up thinking about them anyway and IN that embracement… you see your goals coming for you, not the other way around."

Everybody in the audience remains silent except for one man who coughs into his hand.

"Okay… um…" Tristan scratches his chin. "Why don't you… give us an example… of whatever you just told us right now. You're talking about thoughts?"

Lincoln closes his eyes and shrugs his shoulders. "Hey, you either get it or you don't! Just don't worry about it too much, Tristan. You never had to deal with an insane amount of…"

Lincoln opens his eyes only to find that he is all alone in the room. It's as if everyone just vanished into thin air.

"W-where is everybody?" Said Lincoln as he felt tears gathering in his eyes.

He stands up from the chair and starts crying into his hands.

"Please!" He shouts out. "Don't leave me all alone! Please!"

*BEEP BEEP BEEP*

The alarm clock wakes Lincoln up from his nightmare. He tosses and turns in his bed as he takes in the familiar surroundings in the linen closet he calls his room.

Sighing, he thinks to himself. "You're never going to be alone, Lincoln. You have a TON of friends and family that aren't gonna go away anytime soon!

Speaking of friends… I CAN'T WASTE ANYMORE TIME!"

Lincoln gets out of bed and quickly puts on his iconic orange shirt and blue pants. He then rushes over to his laptop and turns it on.

He's a firm believer in the 'work hard, play hard' doctrine and this saturday, he's going to play until he can't play anymore.

"Live to win!

Till you die! Till the light dies in your eyes!

Live to win!

Take it all! Just keep fighting till you fall!"

Opening a can of Coke Energy, a 15 year old red haired boy wearing a green jacket and yellow shirt is sitting in front of his computer playing the latest popular MMO RPG, Guilds of Glory.

He hears the voices of his friends through his headset while taking a sip.

"Dude, what the hell are you singing? Are you… trying to motivate us?"

The boy, Duncan Harris, puts down his drink and answers his friend's question.

"For your information, Yangzi, I'm singing a song that I'm surprised YOU'VE never heard of before!"

"What do you mean you're surprised I never heard this song?" Said Yangzi, through his headset.

"I never heard it either." Said Bex, another one of Duncan's friends. One would describe her as a tomboy. "You probably got that song from one of your dad's albums or something."

"An obscure song… from an obscure singer." Said Wolf, a third friend of Duncan. One would describe him as monotonous.

"WHAT!?" Yelled Duncan in disbelief.

"You know what? Nevermind! We need to focus on defeating Team Trifecta and get this bounty before anybody else does, alright!?"

"Yeah." "Right." "You were singing, but whatever."

"Bex." Duncan starts to command. "We've just gotten the notification saying they're right here with us in the forest. We're not seeing them which means they could be using the Wildman's Shroud team perk. Go berserk and cut down as many trees as you can!"

"YEAH!" Shouted Bex. "TEAM YOU'VE GOT CHAINMAIL BITCHE-"

Bex cut herself off as she and the rest of her teammates saw that her character's foot made contact with a near invisible tripwire; triggering over a dozen poison arrows targeting the barbarian's weak points, instantly killing her.

"Aaugh! A trap!" Bex shouted. "AVENGE ME!"

Oh no." Said Duncan as he realizes what's going on around his team members. "Yangzi, Wolf, keep your eyes OPEN! We're dealing with a Trickster Variant Warrior!"

"Commander Loud! The barbarian fell for the tripwire arrow trap! Just like you said!"

Lincoln Loud smirks. It's time to work his magic.

"Clyde, advance northeast from here and cast an Anti-Magic Field. Rusty, stay beside me and await further orders."

"Yes sir!" "Yes sir!"

Duncan, Bex, and Wolf hear Yangzi's voice from their headsets.

"Guys! I'm gonna cast a tracking spell! I'm gonna make these punks pay!"

"Are you serious!?" Duncan starts to argue. "That spell will eat up two-thirds of your mana! And I don't have any recipes that'll give you any!"

"What choice do I have!?" Argued Yangzi. "If I DON'T do this, we're all gonna… OH MY GOD!"

Duncan, now concerned, talks in a more calm tone. "Uh… Yangzi? You alright?"

"I can't cast any of my high tier spells!" Said Yangzi, who's scrolling through all the spells he's been locked out of. "Somebody must be using Anti-Magic on me!"

"Damn it!" Said Duncan. He then faces his character towards Wolf.

"Wolf! You see that very tall pine tree over there!?"

"Yeah." Wolf said calmly.

"Climb up that tree and activate your Eagle's Eye perk!"

Duncan then enters a command for his character to set up a portable brick oven. While his character is laying down some bricks, he continues talking.

"You and Yangzi will cover me while I make a nullifier-nullifier loaf, which will cancel out the Anti-Magic!"

"Sweet." Said Wolf while running towards his destination.

"Like I have a choice!" Said Yangzi, his character standing beside his friend's character.

"Okay Rusty. It looks like they ARE gonna do the sniper tactic."

Lincoln smirks and shakes his head. He feels like he can read all his enemies like a book. He continues speaking.

"Their archer is coming straight towards us. Activate your Arrow Immunity perk and rush him. That's gonna give us a two-to-four second window for me and Clyde to ambush the enemy mage."

Rusty's character starts to glow as he takes out his double sided battle ax.

"ALRIGHT… but what about the baker?"

Lincoln rolls his eyes. "What ABOUT the baker? It's an average class that's probably played by an average guy. We're Team Trifecta! We can handle average!"

He then rushes off to join Clyde.

"Almost there… Almost there… Almost there…"

"HURRY UP!"

Duncan starts to shout back at Yangzi. "I can't make it load any faster!"

"You can if you had the quick bake perk!" Yangzi argues back.

He's right. If Duncan equipped the quick bake perk, it would have cut all baking times in half. He felt, however, that a different perk was more suitable for him instead of faster cooking times.

Duncan was about to argue back when he heard Wolf's voice on his headset.

"Guys, there's an eight foot viking in front of me and he doesn't look happy."

"JUST SHOOT HIM!" Duncan and Yangzi yell at Wolf.

"I am… he has an Arrow Immunity…

And now I'm dead… You'd think they'd make the bigger characters slower."

Sighing to himself, Duncan scratches his head while taking in the fact that he lost another team member.

"Yeah… it sucks that they didn't factor in speed when they made this game. Maybe in a future…"

A thought then hit Duncan like a ton of bricks.

"WAIT! Is this a distraction!? Are we being distracted right now!"

Yangzi's character faces Duncan's. "Duncan, you gotta be a special kind of stupid to ask a question as stupid as-"

Yangzi then stops talking as he notices a female mage jump from the bushes and puts his character in a chokehold.

The four friends then witness the white haired leader of Team Trifecta jump from the tree branches above and land on Yangzi's character's stomach, taking away half his health.

"CLYDE! Finish him off!"

As Lincoln reactivates Wildman's Shroud on his character, Clyde commands his character throw fireballs at the stunned enemy mage…

They make their mark as they burn and kill their target.

"CLINCOLN MCCLOUD!" Lincoln and Clyde both shouted.

"Okay! I admit it! We were distracted!" Shouted Yangzi as he slammed his fist on his desk. "You happy now, Duncan!?"

Seeing the enemy mage and viking move closer to him, Duncan gulps. "Not really, considering I'll be DEAD soon!"

"Sorry buddy." Rusty thinks to himself as he commands his character to attack. "Nothing personal. It's either you or- HUH!?"

It came as a big surprise to everybody watching the fight when they suddenly see a mysterious new player kill Rusty's viking with one hit. Surprise attacks doing double damage in Guilds of Glory.

Duncan leans closer to his computer screen. "Who the heck just saved…" He then notices that his savior in the game is also in the baker class but female and has purple hair. "Oh no…"

Seeing his partner fall at the hands of a mysterious player in front of him, Clyde goes on the offensive.

"Casting 5th tier magic: Dragon Lightning!" He shouts out to Lincoln while entering the command.

However, his attack didn't seem to faze the new player.

"Dang it! She has a Magic Immunity perk!" Clyde shouts out as he sees his character get beheaded and killed right in front of him.

Meanwhile, Duncan is sending a request to the new player so they can talk through their headsets.

"Kim? Kimberly!?"

Almost immediately, Duncan hears the voice of his younger sister from the other end.

"You don't have to shout at me, Duncan. The mike's right next to my ear."

Smiling to himself, Yangzi announces to his teammates.

"All right! Everybody give it up for… Killa K!"

Bex and Wolf go on to compliment Kimberly.

"Hell yeah! Killa K!" "Thanks for avenging me. I really appreciate it."

"No, don't mention it, guys." Said Kimberly. "You're too kind. YOU'RE TOO KIND!"

"You bought this game, let Wolf get killed, and saved me just so you can get a damn compliment from him!?" Thought Duncan. "Fine! As long as I win in the end!"

"It's all up to you, Commander Loud!" Said Clyde.

"Who the heck is this chick anyway!?" Said Rusty.

Lincoln enters in a few commands for his character to follow as he answers his friend's question.

"She's probably his younger sister who he's pulled into playing a similar game against her will only for his friends to end up replacing him with her so they can win a tournament or something.

He ends up joining the enemy team, some stuff happens, and he lets her kill his character in front of a lot of people because revenge is not worth as much as family love."

Clyde and Rusty remain silent for a bit before Rusty speaks.

"How would you kno-"

"Don't ask me how I know, I just know." Interrupted Lincoln.

"Anyway, you guys take a break. I'll take it from here."

Meanwhile, Duncan is having a conversation with his sister.

"Kimberly, we're dealing with an extremely skilled tactician! We need to come up with a plan of attack!"

"I have a plan!" Kimberly shouts back while commanding her character to run deeper into the forest to search for the last enemy. "Attack!"

Duncan facepalms. "This isn't anything like the games you've played in the past! You know that you have magic resistance!"

"SO!?"

"SO… that means you're weaker and more vulnerable to every OTHER kind of attack! Including…"

*CRASH*

Duncan rolls his eyes and as he witnesses his sister's character fall into an instant death pitfall dug up by the enemy.

"Traps."

In her room, Kimberly angrily throws her controller on the floor.

"Damn it! This game's stupid! SMART… but stupid."

Having killed one of his enemies, Lincoln chuckles to himself before biting into a chocolate chip cookie.

"Heh heh. That's why they call me the man with the plan."

Duncan, now angry, talks into his headset. "Guys! There's one more thing left for me to do at this point. I'm activating my Forager's Sight perk!"

"Forager's Sight!?" Said Yangzi. "What good will THAT do!?"

Lincoln looks closer at his screen. "Uh… it looks like the enemy baker is using Forager's Sight… I don't know WHY though."

Duncan smirks. "Heh. Forager's Sight. While many amateur bakers use it for its intended purpose of finding rare fruits and herbs, only the most skilled of the bakers know of its more… USEFUL purpose."

Duncan then sees a highlighted broken branch in the bushes nearby the pitfall where his sister's character fell in, implying that there's a hidden figure.

"Now that there's ONE enemy and not THREE, my accuracy is up thirty percent!"

He then enters a command for this character to throw a knife at the bushes… which made its mark on Lincoln's character and made him visible to Duncan.

"Oh no! He spotted me!" Lincoln shouts out as he sees his character lose almost half its health due to the surprise attack. "How could he have figured it out so fast!? My one weakness… KNIVES!"
Duncan's character then pulls out two more knives from his belt, now holding one in each hand.

"Now to finish you off!" Said Duncan as he attacks Lincoln's character. Both knives slashed away at their target's chest, dropping Lincoln's character to a single point.

"Yeah! Way to go Duncan!" Cheered Yangzi.

"Maybe I should change my class from barbarian to baker!" Said Bex.

"You're not as cool as an archer, but pretty close." Said Wolf.

"Ugh. You guys wouldn't be cheering right now if it wasn't for me!" Said Kimberly, who hasn't left the chat.

Lincoln rubs his eyes. "Well… that's it. Once a character drops below 5 points, they get paralyzed."

He then hears Clyde's voice from his headset.
"Commander Loud… your enemy has typed a message for you."

He looks at the screen. The message says:

'Do you have any sisters who play this game?'

"Why is he talking about sisters? Just finish me off."

Without thinking, he types:

'None of my ten sisters play this game. Why?'

Duncan starts to type back while Yangzi, Bex, Wolf, and Kimberly stare at Lincoln's message.

"Good. Cause if you did, I'd have to kill…"

It then came down on him.

"This guy's gotta be pulling our legs. There's no way anybody can have ten sisters." He hears Yangzi speak.

"Guys, um…" Says Kimberly. "There's something I gotta check out real fast. Talk to you later."

Duncan wipes out his current message and types one word:

'Really?'

He receives a message back.

'Just finish me off, please.'

Duncan sighs, and does what he was told. His character stabbing Lincoln's in the chest, killing him.

"WOOO! We got the bounty! Team You've Got Chainmail for the win!"

"A guy with ten sisters." Said Duncan as he rubs his hands through his hair. "Who the hell has eleven kids on purpose?"

"My thoughts exactly." Said Wolf.

"Good game, man." Said Lincoln as he sees his character respawn along with Clyde's and Rusty's. "Good game."

"LINKY!" He quickly stands up as he hears the voice of his little sister, Lola, pounding on his door.

"The tea party's at 4 o' clock! That means you need to be in your tuxedo and in my room by 3:55!"

Lincoln glances at the digital clock on his laptop. It's half past three.

He speaks into his headset. "Clyde, Rusty, hold down the fort for the rest of the day. It's tea party time for me."

It's 4:00 and the gang of four are at their usual hideout at the abandoned trailer. Kimberly is with them and is explaining what she found.

She has her phone in her hands. "Guys… what I'm about to show you… is something I'm still trying to wrap my head around."

She puts her phone on the table. Duncan, Yangzi, Bex, and Wolf take a look at the picture she's showing them.

There are thirteen people in the photo. It's a family picture with the father on the left side of a staircase, the mother on the right holding their smiling baby…

And their remaining ten children on the staircase.

"Whoa." Said Bex. "Looks like he wasn't kidding. How'd you find this?"

"When the guy that Duncan killed said he had ten sisters, I instantly remembered scrolling past one girl on my social media feed who said she's the OLDEST of eleven siblings. I didn't think she was serious… until today…"

"Kimberly." She hears her name getting called by Duncan. She sees him point to a white haired boy in the orange shirt with his arms around the shoulders of his twin sisters.

"This is the guy that I killed in Guilds of Glory, what's his name?"

Kimberly nodded. "Lincoln Loud. An eleven year old boy from a city in Michigan called Royal Woods. He likes video games, comics, and zombie movies. And his favorite band is a KISS knock off called… SMOOCH."

"You know… we didn't have to meet in person for this." Said Wolf, who's in the background.

Yangzi crosses his arms. "Well Duncan, bet you feel like you got it easy now, huh? No more complaining about having two sisters anymore for you; knowing there's a boy out there with TEN!"

Duncan slowly nods, his mouth hanging open for a while now.

"Excuse me guys… I gotta… get some fresh air."

He walks out of the trailer and looks at the bright sky above him.

"Lincoln Loud." He thought. "From now on, everytime things don't go my way, I'm gonna be thinking of you. You're probably living in a complete hellhole with ten sisters dragging you down.

If I knew who you were in the game, I'd let you kill me.

One day… one day… I hope to meet you… So I could say…

I'm sorry."

Back in Royal Woods, Lynn Loud Sr., father of the Loud children, is teaching his 15 year old daughter, Luna, how to drive.

They are currently in the family van. Vanzilla, Lynn Sr. likes to call it.

"Thanks for teaching me how to drive, dad." Said Luna. "I had my learner's permit for a month and it wasn't until Sam pointed out that I needed to start practicing behind an actual wheel."

Her dad smiles back at her.

"Well, I'm glad that you went to your old man for help. It's what I'm here for."

They then buckle up their seatbelts.

"Now let's drive!" Said Lynn Sr. as he claps his hands together. "Check your side mirror! Check your rear view mirror!"

He then looks behind his heat, Luna ending up doing the same.

"Check the backseat for murderers."

It turns out that checking the backseat for murderers really does help as they see a biker woman holding a crowbar laying down behind them.

"FINE! I'll go." She says as she scoots out of Vanzilla.

She opens the door and gets out, but before shutting it, she says some words of encouragement.

"Good luck, Luna."

And that was the first chapter of my newest story, Duncanville Gets Loud. I hope you all enjoyed it and I hope to come up with a decent chapter 2.

Also, in case any of you were wondering, I did put a few easter eggs referencing all kinds of things. See if you can find them all!

Until next time!
