.:Choosing A Main Character:.
There are lots of guides out there about how to generate a main character but I’d rather you focus on developing your cast of characters as a whole, and then selecting a main character from it, if there’s ever any question about who will be the star. Most people including myself know who’s gonna be the star of the story before its even written, but some people just have a group of characters and don’t know who to focus on. And sometimes, who you want to be your main character might not always be the best choice and hopefully this guide can help with that.
• Developed: First of all, pick a character you’ll
Johnny clutched the guide map in his hand, folding it halfway down the center. He looked around the near-vacant gift shop he had found himself in, and he sighed.
At first he was excited. A trip to the actual Warner Brothers studio lot for an exclusive tour? It would have been a dream come true for most animation enthusiasts, and Johnny was no exception. The reality soon hit him up on arriving, however, that this was a company that was losing its roots.
Most movies were done with computers nowadays, which meant seeing a lot of unused sound stages and glancing at monitors to truly see the new era of movie-making. It was all so dull, i

7 Ways to Form Healthy Writing Habits
1. Write Every Day
Christy Hall nailed it when she said, “A writer writes. There are no exceptions to this reality. No excuses.” There’s nothing sexy about this. It’s tough work and requires dedication and persistence, but it’s the only way to make consistent progress. Almost everyone who writes for a living or is a productive amateur will tell you this. It’s no secret, but it’s often ignored because it’s hard. Unfortunately, there’s no magical way to make it easier, but you can form a habit through discipline. Once habit sets in, you don’t have think about it—you just do it.
Speed Queen screamed as she was sent flying through the Multiverse before she's thrown out of the portal onto the top of a building. "Literally?" Speed Queen groaned as she got to her feet. She looked around to figure out her bearings. "This place looks like Royal Woods except something seems different." She looked around and the one thing that caught her attention was that the sky was red. "Um, I'm pretty sure the sky isn't supposed to be that color. Better take a look around." She then sped off the building to the street below and started to run through the city. "This place looks like my Royal Woods apart from the sky but something just feels different." She speeds past an alternate Scoots but upon closer look she saw a figure in front of her. The figure wore a long red short sleeved jacket with a hood on their head. Under the jacket they wore a light blue tank top but on their legs they had brown pants and boots. On their face the figure had a face cover and aviator shades. In her hand she had a long blade that they had raised ready to strike Scoots. "Please no!" Scoots pleaded. The figure didn't respond and started to bring there blade down when she's suddenly tackled by Speed Queen. "Sorry pal but it's not cool to attack old ladies." Speed Queen said. She hears Scoots speed away on her scooter causing the speedster to sigh. "Yep Scoots is the same everywhere." The figure got to their feet and pulled their face cover down and Speed Queen gasped at what she saw. Her alternate self. "You idiot!" Alternate Lori shouted. "You let her get away!" She reached into her jacket and pulled out a decent sized pistol. Whoa!" Speed Queen exclaimed. Right when the alternate Lori opened fired at Speed Queen, but she dodged the bullets with her super speed. "A fast one huh?" The alternate Lori questioned. "This is literally going to be a pain." That is when Speed Queen gives the Alternate Lori an uppercut to the face. "So will this!" Speed Queen said before she goes to hit alternate Lori with a series of kicks. Alternate Lori avoids the first two but get hit with the last one. "She's definitely tough." Alternate Lori said. "Time to stop playing games." "Time to take this bitch down." Speed Queen said as she ran towards her alternate self and punched her in the face. "Nice punch." Alternate Lori said as she pulled out a second pistol. "But let's see you dodge these!" She starts firing her pistols with Speed Queen maneuvering around the bullets. However it's tricky as the bullets keep coming faster and faster. "Damn it. It's getting tougher to avoid these." Speed Queen growled. After she dodges another bullet she's hit with kick from her alternate self sending her sliding back. She then sees the other Lori charge at her with her sword. Speed Queen dodged the other Lori's sword swipes. But when The other Lori slashed Speed Queen's left shoulder. "Damn it!" Speed Queen groaned. "Got ya." Other Lori said as Speed Queen grabbed her shoulder. "I'll admit you're a fast one and you've given me a damn good fight but this is the end for you demon." Speed Queen looks at her confused. "Demon?" She repeats. "You think I'm a demon?" "Absolutely." Alternate Lori replied. "Now you can die like the rest!" She charges forward with her sword and swings it at Speed Queen who kicks the sword out of her hand into the air. Speed Queen then leaps up and kicks the sword back at the other Lori. "Uh oh." Before she can react the sword goes right through her torso as Speed Queen looks on in horror. "Oh dear God what have I done?" Speed Queen cried out. "This is bad this is bad. So bad. I gotta do something. Um ok how do I treat someone that just got impaled?" The other Lori blinks and sees Speed Queen panicking. "Do you always react when people get impaled?" The Alternate Lori replied scaring Speed Queen as she looks at her other copy pull the sword out of her chest. "You're suppose to be dead!?" Speed Queen exclaimed. "Nah. I've been through worse." The other Lori said. "Um, ok?" Speed Queen said unsure on how to respond. "You're different from other demons I've fought." Alternate Lori comments. "You're fast." "Thanks but I'm not a demon." Speed Queen tells her. "I'm actually a meta human and I'm not from around here. You see the reason I look like you is because I'm from another Earth." "Wait you're from another Earth?" The other Lori asked as Speed Queen nods. "I can't stay for long. In 24 hours your world will end up in chaos." said Speed Queen. "More chaotic than it is now?" The other Lori asked. "Yeah I've been meaning to ask about that." Speed Queen comments. "What is all of this?" She motions to the red sky. "Demon invasion." Other Lori replied. "The demon world has basically merged with ours. A lot of demons invaded, some even take the forms of humans to blend in." "So that's why you were attempting to kill Scoots." Speed Queen said. "She was a demon?" "Yes and I was about to kill her off until you interfered." The other Lori said. "Well I didn't know until now!" Speed Queen replied. "It's fine." Other Lori said. "You didn't know so I can't really fault you for interfering." "So how were you able to survive getting impaled?" Speed Queen asked. "Oh that's easy." Other Lori answered. "I'm half demon." "You're half demon?!" Speed Queen gasped. "Yep. I sure am, a union between a demon and a human." The other Lori replied. "That explains why you can do all the things you can do." Speed Queen says. "I'll call you Demon Lori so people don't get confused." "Sounds good to me." Demon Lori said with a shrug. "We probably should get moving. We gotta meet up with the rest of the family at the house." "Sweet. Let's go." Speed Queen says. "Wonder if this is what it was like when Lincoln met his alternate self?" Demon Lori is driving on her motorcycle while Speed Queen is following her. A few minutes of diving later, they reach the house as Demon Lori placed her motorcycle in the garage. "We're here." Demon Lori said. "It looks the same as my house back on my earth." Speed Queen said. "Well either we Louds have good taste or rotten luck when it comes to houses." Demon Lori joked. "But on a serious note be careful when you enter. My siblings are gonna be a little different than yours." Speed Queen nods and follows her double into the house. As soon as she entered she felt a different energy here though she couldn't put a finger on it. "There's a different feeling here then in my universe." Speed Queen said. "Maybe it's your demon energy." "Maybe." Demon Lori said with a shrug. "Mom! Dad! I'm home!" Seconds later Rita came up from the basement holding a mini gun in her hands. "Hey sweetie." Rita started greeting when she saw the second Lori next to her. "Um honey, who's your friend?" "A Multiverse doppelganger." Demon Lori answered. "Not a demon." Rita relaxed a little with that. "Well welcome to our universe I guess." Rita said. "Make yourself at home. I'm gonna go out back and see if I finally fixed this." She heads out to the backyard. Once outside Lynn Sr. walks into the kitchen. "Oh Lori you're back." He greeted. "Just in time too. I'm making a casserole!" He then noticed the second Lori. "Who's your friend?" "Multiverse doppelganger." Demon Lori answered. "Gotcha." Lynn Sr. says. He snaps his fingers and a pan pops onto the counter. "Now let's get cooking." "So is dad where you get your demon genes from?" Speed Queen asked. "Yeah, did you think I got my demon side from mom?" Demon Lori asked. "Well I was split when it came to that part." Speed Queen replied. "Fair enough." Demon Lori commented. "Let's upstairs. We can see if Lisa knows anything about Multiverse transportation." "Hopefully she does because we don't have a lot of time." Speed Queen tells her. The two waked up upstairs and walked towards Lisa and Lily's room and Demon Lori knocked on the door. "Lis, it's me open up!" Demon Lori stated. "Just a minute!" Lisa called out from behind the bedroom door. They hear sounds coming from inside. "Lisa is everything alright in there?" Demon Lori asked. "No worries eldest sibling." Lisa called out again. "Lily is just in one of her moods." They hear something break. "Lisa do you need help?" Demon Lori asked. "Yes, I require your assistance!" Lisa exclaimed as glass is heard being broken. "Stay here! Lily can be a challenge." Demon Lori warned her duplicate. "Please. I can handle challenge." Speed Queen said confidently. However Demon Lori looked at her seriously. "Not this kind you haven't." Demon Lori said before opening the door where they see the room looked like a warzone. "Lisa?" Lisa head pops up from behind her damaged desk. "Ah greetings eldest sibling." Lisa said before she noticed a second Lori. "And other eldest sibling? Fascinating. This shouldn't be possible." "Look we can talk about this later. Where's Lily?" Demon Lori said. As if on cue a little red creature leaps onto the railing of the crib in the room laughing maniacally. "Never mind." "That's your Lily?!" Speed Queen asked. "Yes." Demon Lori and Lisa replied. "I was trying to put Lily down for a nap. But she refused." Lisa said. "Of course she did." Demon Lori said while pinching the bridge of her nose. "Let's try to make sure she doesn't get outside this time." "Agreed." Lisa said. "Minor sibling it's time for your nap!" She pushes her glasses up and fires a blue laser from her eyes but Lily vanishes causing the laser to hit a plant freezing it. "Whoa." Speed Queen gasped. "That's new." "Never seen freeze vision before?" Demon Lori asked. "No I haven't." Speed Queen asked. "Lily can be unpredictable at times." said Demon Lori. "Yeah I can see that." Speed Queen comments. "On my Earth, Lily and Lisa have powers but Lisa has telekinesis and telepathy, while Lily had plant powers. But here, Lisa can fire beams from her eyes and Lily does whatever she's doing now." "Fascinating." Lisa says. "I'd like to hear more about this Earth." "Lisa focus on Lily!" Demon Lori ordered before she pulls out her gun. Speed Queen looked at in shock. "You're gonna shoot Lily?" Speed Queen shouted. "Don't worry. These are special bullets that don't hurt Lily but put her to sleep." Demon Lori explained. "When it comes to demon powers I kinda got the short end of the stick. Sure my abilities were enhanced and I got a sick healing factor but that's all I got. So I had to adapt." "Oh wow." Speed Queen said shocked. "Not gonna lie, I would've thought Lincoln would've gotten screwed." Demon Lori and Lisa exchange a glance. "In a way he kinda did but we'll explain later." Demon Lori told her. "For now her Lily!" They Lily giggling all around them as they look around the room. "She's invisible." "I have an idea!" Speed Queen said as she grabs a bottle of baby powder spreads it around the room. "Clever thinking." Demon Lori smirked. "Indeed." Lisa agreed. They then see footprints appear in the powder." "Got ya." Demon Lori said before firing her gun. The three then hear a light thud and snoring. Seconds later Lily appears visible now back to normal. "Well that's taken care of." Demon Lori picks up Lily and goes to put her in her crib when she sees it's damaged. "Damn it." "Don't worry I got this." Speed Queen assures her. She speeds off and returns with tools. Then at super speed starts repairing the crib. Within seconds the crib is repaired and the mess is cleaned up. "Extraordinary." Lisa says in awe as Demon Lori puts Lily down for a nap. "Not bad." Demon Lori agreed. "Lisa we need to talk to you but it might be better to have everyone around. I'll get the others while the other me tells you what the issue is. Hopefully Lincoln is cooperative." Right when Demon Lori leaves the bedroom While Lisa inspects Speed Queen. "So you're from another Earth?" Lisa asked. "Yes, that's correct and I need to get back to my world right away or else your world will go into chaos." Speed Queen explained. "I see." Lisa said stroking her chin. "This is quite tricky if I'm being honest. For starters, finding a way to generate a multiverse portal is tricky. Plus even if we were successful in doing that we'd have to find your universe which would be even harder when we don't know what universe is actually yours so we'd have to get a lock-on an energy signature in your universe." "How strong would the energy signature have to be?" Speed Queen asked. Lisa pulls out a calculator muttering some numbers. "The energy signature would have to be equivalent to a God so to speak." Lisa answered. Speed Queen started to pace around. "Ok so we wouldn't be able to lock-on to Bobby, Ronnie Anne, Sam, Petty, Soothsayer or Mr. Cuddles. Jack Frost would be an ideal candidate but would we be able to lock on to his energy level?" Speed Queen muttered to herself. "This is going to be harder than I thought." "Correct." Lisa agreed. "Normally, studying Multiverse travel would take years but we only got a day. Approximately twenty-one hours. We don't have a lot of time." "Well you're gonna have to rush it!" Speed Queen said. "This coming from someone with super speed." Lisa retorted. "I can only move so fast. Unless there's another way to open a Multiverse wormhole." "Is there?" Speed Queen asked. Lisa thinks about and goes to her desk where she digs through her papers until she finds what she's looking for. She holds up the paper and Speed Queen sees that it's a portal generator of some sort. "What is this?" "A portal generator." Lisa answers. "Demons use them to get from their world to ours. If we can get one and increase it's power we might be able to use it to get you home." She starts to walk towards the door. "We must tell my Lori at once." As she reaches the door she stops when she hears a commotion coming from outside. "Oh dear." Speed Queen joins her at the door. "Lisa, what did the other me mean when she said 'hopefully Lincoln will cooperate'?" Speed Queen asked. "Lincoln has issues." Lisa said quickly walking away from the door to her closet. "I must put on my gear." She grabs a black lightweight jacket before putting a tactical vest on over it. She then takes off her glasses and puts on a visor in their place. "There. Now I'm ready." She walks up to the door and puts her hand on. "Alternate eldest sibling, brace yourself." She opens the door and Speed Queen's eyes widen at what she sees. Demon Lori had her sword out but there was a chain wrapped around the blade. Speed Queen looked at where the chain was coming from and saw that it was coming from Lincoln's room and the chain was on fire. She then hears a voice. "Foolish halfling!" The deep raspy voice shouted. "How dare you enter my domain! Especially without knocking!" Speed Queen steps out and sees what looks like a skeleton with his head on fire wearing an orange short-sleeved hooded sweatshirt with a vest over it. He also had on blue jeans and black boots. "What the hell is that?" Speed Queen asked her double. "That's Zaroos." Demon Lori grunted as she played tug-of-war with her sword. "He's a demon who bonded with Lincoln." "Wait a demon bonded with Lincoln!?" Speed Queen asked. "Yeah, the demon bonded a week after the demon invasion." Demon Lori explained as she pulled her sword away from Zaroos. "You bring disgrace to the demon bloodline!" Zaroos shouted. "You're literally bonded with a halfling!" Demon Lori retorted. "That's besides the point!" Zaroos fired back. "But back to the point! How dare you enter my domain without knocking!" "Look I wasn't even looking for you!" Demon Lori argued. "I wanted to talk to my brother." Zaroos looked at her before sighing. "Ah. I see how it is." He says. "You always want to see Lincoln. Never want to see Zaroos. It's always about Lincoln. Lincoln Lincoln Lincoln. I share your brother's body but no you want to just see Lincoln." He turns around sits down and crosses his arms. "I see how it is?" "Is he pouting?" Speed Queen asked. "He's very powerful but also very emotional." Lisa said. "This happens more often than you think." "I've been through something like that with my Lincoln, but that almost resulted in Royal Woods being nearly burnt to ashes." Speed Queen said. "Yes well this is different." Lisa explained. "Zaroos turned on the Demon Lord. When Lincoln found him he was near death. Lincoln didn't any real special abilities besides the usual slightly enhanced abilities that have currently. So when he met Zaroos, they made a deal. Lincoln would be his vessel of sorts and in return, Lincoln would be able to help fight demons." "And this is the result." Speed Queen finished. "He's definitely made things interesting." Lisa says. Demon Lori approached Zaroos. "I'm sorry I upset you." She says. "You know we like you but Lincoln is our brother. We still need though. You're a skilled fighter and you know more about demons than any of us. How about this: you let Lincoln have control and you can come out more. That sound fair?" Zaroos thinks about it. "Will I get to play with the baby?" He asked. "Of course." Demon Lori asked. She goes to pat his head but remembered the flames around his skull." "Very Well." Zaroos said as the flames disappeared and the skull is replaced with Lincoln's head. "You ok Linc?" Demon Lori asked. "Yeah I'm fine Lori." Lincoln said then he looks at Speed Queen. "Why is there another you?" "I'll explain later." Demon Lori tells him. "We're meeting in my room to discuss that." "Ok." Lincoln said with a shrug as he picks up his chain and wraps it around his torso before heading to Lori and Leni's room. "Alright let's go." Demon Lori said before leading Lisa and her alternate self to her room. "So where are the others?" Speed Queen asked. "They'll be here." said Demon Lori. "Most likely they're already in Lori and Leni's room waiting for us." Lisa added. "However be careful. They might think you're a demon because you look like our Lori." "I'll try and tell them that I'm not a demon." Speed Queen said. "You can try. But you let me and Lisa do the talking." Demon Lori said. "Right." Speed Queen agreed. They head into the room where Speed Queen sees the rest of the siblings already gathered and sitting around the room. Leni is wearing A sea form green tank top, blue jeans shorts, with a belt full of knives, with black boots, and her hair is long and reached to her knees. Luna is still wearing her purple shirt with a skull on it, a black leather vest, black leather pants, purple boots, and purple fingerless gloves. Luan is wearing a yellow long sleeve shirt and jeans that are ripped at the knees. She belt with two daggers in them. Lynn wore a red tank top over a black long sleeve shirt. She had on red shoulder pads around her shoulders shaped like gears and red sweatpants on her legs. Lucy is wearing a black long sleeve shirt, a black skirt with dark grey leggings and black shoes. She has a belt with a tomahawk and dagger attached to it. Lana is wearing her usual overalls over a long sleeve blue shirt and sneakers. On her head she had her signature red hat. Speed Queen also noticed that Lana had some strange markings on her hands. She would be sure to ask about that later. Lola wore a light pink dress but noticed that it wasn't as long. It only went to her knees and she wore pink sweatpants on her legs. Strangely enough on her feet she had on sandals and not boots or sneakers like the others. Another thing Speed Queen would have to ask about. Speed Queen looked at each and every one of the alternate versions of her siblings and saw that they had scars and other wounds on parts of their bodies. No doubt proof of how tough their enemies were. "Alright everyone is here." Demon Lori said shaking Speed Queen from her thoughts. "So as you can see there's another me here but I can assure you that she's not a demon so put your weapons down." Speed Queen hadn't even noticed that everyone gathered apart from her alternate self, Lisa and Lincoln had guns and blades aimed at her which they all slowly and reluctantly lowered. "If she ain't a demon then what is she?" Luna asked lowering her gun. "I'm a meta human." Speed Queen replied. "On my Earth, my siblings and I have powers and we use them to fight criminal meta humans." "So you wear tights and fight crime?" Lola asked. "But I need to get back to my universe or else your world will go into chaos." Speed Queen replied. "More than it is now?" Luan asked. "A lot more and we don't have a lot of time." Speed Queen added. "Less than twenty-four hours to be exact." "That's not a lot of time." Luna said. "It's not. Lisa told me that those demons have a portal?" Speed Queen asked. "It's how they get here." Lucy explained. "Why?" "Lisa thinks she can use one if those portal generators to open up a Multiverse portal." Speed Queen told them. "In theory." Lisa reminds her. "We would still need something to lock onto for it to work." "That could be a problem." Lincoln said. "The other Lori could be sent to another universe." "That's the last thing we want." Demon Lori said. "But first things first we need the portal generator." Lola said. "After that we can figure out the rest." "Agreed." Demon Lori says. "Let's head downstairs and talk with mom and dad so we can form a plan." Everyone gets up to walk out but Lincoln suddenly stops. "What's that?" Lincoln said. "Whoa slow down. When you get like this I can't understand you." Everyone stops and looks at him. "Who's he talking to?" Speed Queen asked. "Zaroos. The two can communicate with each other." Lisa explained. "Downside is it makes it look like our brother is talking to himself." "Who's coming?" Lincoln asked. "Are you serious? He's coming himself!? Ok yeah that's real bad." "Lincoln what is it?" Demon Lori asked. Lincoln looks at everyone seriously. "The Demon Lord is coming." He tells them. "The Demon Lord!?" The Demon Loud sisters questioned. "The Demon lord?" Speed Queen asked. "The ruler of all demons." Demon Lori explained. "Dad used to serve him and was sent to Earth to scout it out for invasion. However dad met mom and he defected." "Zaroos used to serve him as well but he rose up against him during the invasion. But the Demon Lord left him for dead till I found him." Lincoln added. "The Demon Lord is a brutal beast who rules over all demons. If he's leading the invasion himself then shit's about to get real." "We gotta tell dad dudes." Luna told them. "We don't got time to waste." The Louds and Speed Queen ran downstairs and see their dad in the kitchen. "Dad. We got a problem!" Lincoln said. "What is it kids?" Lynn sr asked. "The Demon Lord is coming." Lana said. "He's coming to Royal Woods!?" Lynn sr exclaimed. "Zaroos sensed him." Lincoln said. "He's freaking out in here." Lynn Sr. narrowed his eyes and approached Lincoln. "I want to talk to Zaroos." He tells his son. "Let him out." "Alright Zaroos, come on out." said Lincoln. Without a minute Lincoln's head burst into flames and his hair, skin, and muscles disappeared only leaving a skull. "Hello Lynn." Zaroos greeted. "Hello Zaroos." Lynn Sr. greeted back. "Is it true you sense the Demon Lord?" Zaroos nodded. "He's coming. And he's bringing an army." He told him. "We only have minutes to prepare. Are your children ready Lynn?" "They haven't faced the Demon Lord before. I don't think they're ready to face off against him." Lynn sr said. "So you're just gonna let him come and kill everyone!?" Zaroos replied. "Of course not!" Lynn Sr. argued. "We'll just have to take this approach carefully. "If I have to, I'll deal with the Demon Lord myself." "No Lynn. You're out of practice." Zaroos argues. "I'll deal with him." "No chance." Lynn Sr. fired back. "You're in my son's body and there's no way I'm letting you risk his life." "We don't have time for this!" Demon Lori shouted getting the attention of both demons. "The Demon Lord is only minutes away from arriving. We should use what little time we got to get ready." "Let's gear up and give the Demon Lord a welcome party." Lynn said as she pounded her fist into her palm. Minutes later everyone was in the basement getting their gear and weapons ready. Demon Lori was pulling stuff out of a trunk and tossing them to her siblings. "Lucy dual katanas." Demon Lori called as she handed Lucy two katanas that she strapped to her back. "Luna cough drops." She tossed a pack of cough drops to Luna who caught them. "Lincoln you want the hook chain?" "Zaroos says yes!" Lincoln called back. Demon Lori handed Lincoln the hook chain. "Luan, I know you want the tri-blade?" Demon Lori asked as she held up a Circular wheel with three blades on it. "Damn right." Luan said as she was handed the weapon. After all the bladed weapons were handed out they prepared the guns along with other firearms. Once those were ready everyone headed outside. "Ok so where's the portal going to open up at?" Speed Queen asked. "Town square?" "Most likely." Demon Lori answered. "From there we'll try to grab the portal generator and get it home." "While also fighting an army of demons along with their overlord." Speed Queen finished. "Just about sums it up." Demon Lori said before turning to her siblings. "Let's move out!" The demon Louds arrived at town square where hid behind some rumble. "Ok so here's the plan. We grab the portal generator and get out." Demon Lori explained. "We'll grab it before the Demon Lord shows up." Lynn said. "Unless he appears as soon as the portal opens." Lucy said. "You're so negative." Lola told her. Lucy doesn't respond but points in front of them as several orange portals open up. "Uh oh." "Get ready everyone!" Demon Lori shouted as she took out her sword. "Mask on!" Lincoln shouted. "Copy!" Zaroos replied as he took control. Suddenly hundreds of demons start coming out of the portals. Each of the demons were different. Some looked like imps and were throwing fireballs around at buildings. Some looked like they were wearing old soldier armor shooting lasers from their hands. There were large fat ones that had cannons for hands. Some demons were big and lean but strong as they knocked over trucks and cars. Then there were the large red demons with horns that carried swords. The Louds also saw demons that ran on four legs that looked like a cross between an armadillo and a rhino. Finally the weirdest demon of the bunch was what looked like a giant floating head and shot fireballs everywhere. "There's so many of them!" Luan shouted. "But none stand out which means none of these are the Demon Lord." Demon Lori says. "We need to kill these things!" Lynn takes out her guns and smirk. "Let's send them back to hell." Lynn said. "Let the slaughter Begin!" Zaroos shouted as he threw his chain blade at one of the imps. "You and I need to get to one of those portals." Demon Lori tells Speed Queen. "Then let's do this." Speed Queen said before she and Demon Lori ran off in the mass of demons. Demon Lori sliced some demons While Speed Queen runs through some demon soldiers and run in a circle creating a cyclone and the demons and they're thrown around the town, killing them on impact. "Nice one." Demon Lori said as she sliced the flying head demon. "Thanks." Speed Queen says as she smashed two imps together by running one into another. "You're not so bad yourself." The two then continue on where they see a giant red demon. "You ready?" Demon Lori asked as she prepared her sword. "Do you need to ask?" Speed Queen responded. Demon Lori runs towards the red demon and slashed the giant demon. Speed Queen takes a running start and gives the red demon gives it an uppercut to the face. "Cyclone!" Demon Lori shouted. "You got it." Speed Queen says as she starts running in a circle creating a small cyclone which lifts Demon Lori off the ground and launches her at the giant red demon where she then slices it's head off. Demon Lori then lands on the ground as the giant red demon's body fell to the ground. "Come on! We have generator to get!" Demon Lori said as she and Speed Queen ran towards the generator. However more demons were running through the portal. "They're still coming!" Speed Queen shouted as she hit a larger demon with a flip kick. "Don't worry I got this." Demon Lori assures her. She presses the comm in her ear. "Lucy and Lana we could use some assistance down here." With a puff of black smoke Lucy appear and stabs of the fat demons with her katanas. "Let me guess the rest of your sisters have other abilities?" Speed Queen asked. "Yep, Lucy can teleport." Demon Lori said. "Honestly I'm convinced my Lucy can too even before we got powers." Speed Queen tells her. Lana then runs up next to her and looks up at her. "You wanna know about these symbols on my arms?" Lana asked slyly. Speed Queen nods. "Just watch." Lana rolls up her sleeves where Speed Queen sees that she has markings going all the way up her arm to her shoulders. Lana then crouches down and places both hands on the ground. When she does that one of the markings that slightly resembled a bear head closest to her elbow started to glow. A larger version of symbol appears on the ground underneath Lana. "Ursas, rise!" Seconds later the ground starts to crack and large purple bear with long sharp claws and skull-like head appears from the ground with a loud roar with Lana sitting on top. "Holy shit." Speed Queen gasped as Lana pat the bear on the head. "Yeah it freaked out some of us out the first time she summoned it." Demon Lori replied. "I always thought those were like tattoos or birthmarks!" Speed Queen said, "Technically they sort of are." Demon Lori said. "We've had demon animals arrive in the past but Lana was the only one who refused to kill them when she realized that they were just confused. And each animal she helped she gained a symbol on her arms." "She has so many." Speed Queen gasped. "She's helped a lot. And now she can summon them whenever she wants." Demon Lori explained. "Impressive." said Speed Queen. "It sure is." said Demon Lori. They both see Luna shooting down the flying skulls. But more kept coming, so Luna inhales. "Cover your ears!" Demon Lori said as she covered her ears. Speed Queen looks at her but does as she's told and covers her ears. Luna then let out a super sonic shriek that destroyed the flying skulls as well as several surrounding demons. "That explains the cough drops." Speed Queen said as she removed her hands from her ears. Luna then runs to them. "You good dudes?" Luna asked. "Yeah Luna. We're good." said Demon Lori. "Damn Luna, that was a powerful scream!" Speed Queen said. "Yeah, but I can't use my sonic scream too much or else I'll ruin my voice." said Luna. "Again explains the cough drops." Speed Queen said. "They're still coming though." "Lola, Lynn! It's your time to shine!" Demon Lori shouted on an earpiece as Lola and Lynn run In With Lynn shooting at some demons. "Alright! Bulldozer time!" Lynn cheered. She puts her gun on her back and rushed at the demons in front of her. She continued running until she was right in the thick of the mass of demons. Before Speed Queen could react the large mass of demons were sent flying with Lynn being only one in the center. However Speed Queen noticed that she looked slightly different. Her body seemed more rigid and stiff but at the same time as a rock. "Lynn has the same power as this Red Riot character from My Hero school or whatever it's called." Demon Lori replied as she shot down some flying heads. "Come and get some!" Lynn shouted as she gave a uppercut to one of the fat demons. "That's insane." Speed Queen says in awe. She hears flapping and she looks up to see something flying towards. She gets ready to rush it but as it gets closer she sees that it's Lola. Once she's on ground Lola kicks off her sandals and her feet become demon feet and her hands change into demon hands which were dark brown with long claws. "You demons have no class!" Lola shouted before slashing an imp with her claws and kicking another one. "So that's why your Lola wears sandals." Speed Queen said. "Yeah she can be a handful at times." said Demon Lori. "Now come on, we're running out of time!" "Huh. Never thought I'd be told that." Speed Queen said before following her double. The two fight their way through demon with Speed Queen using her super speed to take them down while Demon Lori shot and slashed at them. A large lean demon runs in front of them and roars at them before charging at the two Loris. However he is suddenly wrapped in what appears to be hair and thrown away. Leni then lowers herself to the ground being held up by her hair. "Hi Lori and Lori." Leni said. "That was totes fun." "Hair powers?" Speed Queen questions. "Yeah, we kind of saw that one coming." Demon Lori said. "She used to call herself Rapunzel, the demon slayer. Does your Leni have that power?" "No, just duplication." Speed Queen replied. "Huh. That actually sounds cooler." Demon Lori says as she shoots a demon. "But no time to discuss that. We gotta keep moving." "Right!" Speed Queen said as the two run off to the generator. "So how do we power it down?" "No idea." Demon Lori replied. "I think the red button maybe." "The red button you think?!" Speed Queen questioned. "I never dealt with this kind of thing before!" Demon Lori replied. "Ok ok calm down." Speed Queen told her. "Let's give it a shot and hope for the best." As she finishes saying that a giant shadow begins to form. "And we should do it fast." "Red button it is then!" Demon Lori said as she slammed her hand on the red button. The portal begins close. "Well there we have it." Speed Queen said as she grabbed the portal and her double and sped them through the closing portal. "That was close." Demon Lori says and then holds up the portal generator. "But we got what needed." "Great but what about the hundreds of other portals open?" Speed Queen asked. Demon Lori looked around and saw that her double had a point. "Yeah I kinda forgot about that." Demon Lori admitted. "Wonder what that giant shadow we saw was?" "A giant demon." Speed Queen guessed. "Maybe, but we need to figure out how to close the portals." Demon Lori said. "Worry about that later." Lisa said over the comms. "Get the portal generator to the house immediately!" "Lisa's right! We need to get back to the house!" Demon Lori said. "But how would you get back there?" Speed Queen asked. Demon Lori smirks and holds up her pistols. "How do you think?" She replies. Speed Queen returns her smirks. "Then let's get moving." However before they can get moving a large shadow looms over the city stopping thr fighting. Everyone looks up and sees a large shadowed figure illuminating the sky. "It's him." Zaroos says as all the demons bow down. "The Demon Lord." "He's here?!" Lisa exclaimed. "Ah shit." Demon Lori muttered under her breath. The silhouette shrinks down and the shadows surrounding him disappear to reveal someone that looked like a man wearing a black suit with slicked back hair. While the demon Louds didn't recognize him, Speed Queen gasped at who the Demon Lord resembled. "Andrew Tetherby?!" Speed Queen gasped. Everyone looked at her confused. "Andrew Tetherby?" Demon Lori repeated. "Who the hell is Andrew Tetherby." "Someone from my world." Speed Queen said. "So you're the ones killing my soldiers." Tetherby said. "You're damn right!" Demon Lori responded. However Tetherby scoffed. "Pathetic. A bunch of halflings defeating my army? Embarrassing." Tetherby said. He puts his hand up and catches a chain aimed at his face. "Zaroos. I thought I sensed a traitor." He turns his glance to the shocked demon holding his chain trying to free it from the Demon Lord's grip. "Now you along with your halfling host can die." Dark energy comes out of his and travels up the chain hitting Zaroos head on causing the demon to scream in pain which Speed Queen could've sworn she heard two people screaming. The demon is then sent flying back into a building. Demon Lori growls and presses her comm. "Luan where are you?" Demon Lori whispered. "I'm in an alleyway right behind the demon lord." Luan replied on her comm. "Ok I need you to come to me." Demon Lori orders. "And when you get here I need you to get the portal generator home." "Alright if you insist." Luan said. "What about you?" Speed Queen asked her other her other counterpart. "I'm gonna deal with the Demon Lord." Demon Lori said. "Dad can't do it and Zaroos already got one-shotted. We don't have many options." Speed Queen looks at her and nods. "Well you ain't fighting him alone." Speed Queen tells her. "I'm with you." Demon Lori looks at her shocked before nodding. "If you're both done." Tetherby says interrupting the two. "Do you have anything to say before I destroy you?" Demon Lori smirks. "Yeah. Look down." She says. Tetherby looks at her confused but does as she suggested where he's met with a shotgun in his face being held by Luan who is halfway in the ground. "Heads up!" Luan says before firing the shotgun in Tetherby's face stunning the demon. "Whoa. That's useful." Speed Queen said. Luan phases out of the ground and runs to Demon Lori who hands her the portal generator as she ran by. "You will pay for that!" Tetherby growled as he recovered from the attack. "I'm not paying for anything bitch!" Demon Lori replied as she takes out her guns and shoots at Tetherby. Tetherby growls as the bullets hit him head in. "Kill them all." He ordered his demons. "Everyone help Luan get the portal home and protect civilians!" Demon Lori ordered. "We're not leaving you!" Leni shouted back. "Don't worry I'll be with her just go!" Speed Queen assured them. The Louds all Look at each and then they run off. "A foolish mistake girl." Tetherby said. "You're just asking for a death wish." Demon Lori and Speed Queen look at each other before looking back at Tetherby. "Then so be it." Demon Lori said as she prepared her sword. She turns to Speed Queen. "You with me?" "To the bitter end." Speed Queen nodded. "Let's do this!" Demon Lori said. The two the rush at Tetherby. In the city Luan was running through the streets fighting through demons as she headed towards the house. She slashed a large demon with her tri-blade before throwing the circular blade at another one slicing it in half. "Need to get home and make sure nothing bad happens to the generator." Luan thought to herself as she continues to slay demons. A large black demon cuts her off and roars at her but before it can do anything it's hit by a truck driven by Luna. "Get in dude and take the wheel." Luna orders as gets out and jumps into the back. "But I don't have a license." Luan argued though in her mind sounded like a weird thing to argue about. "Laws don't matter when you're in the middle of a demon invasion." Luna told as she prepared her assault rifle. "Just shut up and drive!" Luan sighs and jumps into the driver's seat placing the portal generator in the passenger seat. "Sis I suggest we get moving because here they come!" Luan looks in the mirror and saw over a dozen demons charging at them. "Hang on!" Luan shouted before hitting the gas. Luan speed off as she drove down the street. "How are you holding up back there!?" Luan asked. "So far so good but there are so many of these dudes!" Luna responded as she shoots the demons. Luan swerves around rubble causing Luna to stumble a little which resulted in her missing a flying demon. "Hey keep it steady!" "Trying here!" Luan shouted back. "I don't know how to drive!" "Just keep it steady!" Luna retorted. She presses her earpiece. "Lynn where you at!" "I'm almost there Luna!" Lynn replied. "Hurry faster! I'm running out of bullets!" Luna responded. "Luna! Giant red demon!" Luan shouted as a large red demon stood in the middle of the road. "Shit." Luna cursed. "I don't think I can go in between that thing!" Luan said. "I don't have enough bullets to kill it!" Luna replied back. However someone leaps off a nearby building and lands on the large demon. Luan and Luna see that it's Lynn punching the demon before ripping the horn off it's head and slitting it's throat with it. "Just in time Lynn!" Luan said on her earpiece. "Not a big deal. It was pretty easy." Lynn smirked. "Don't get cocky!" Luna said on her earpiece. "We need to get the generator back home and fast!" "Right." Lynn said. "I'll clear a path." She runs ahead attacking every demon in front of her. "You demons never learn! Earth isn't for you!" "This planet is for the humans!" Luan shouted. Not far away Lana was riding her Demon Bear throughout the city with the bear slashing demons left and right. "Good job big guy but we ain't done yet." Lana said as she patted his head. She climbs off him and rolls up her sleeves. "Perhaps a little help would make killing these easier." The demons all got ready for what Lana is going to do next. "Come on out and fight!" Lana said as the Demon Bear roared. Lana then slams her hands on the ground and two of the marks on her arms' forearms glow. "Lupus! Avian! Rise!" Seconds later the ground cracks beneath them and two large demons appear from underneath her. One resembled a large werewolf with purple fur with spikes on its back, long white claws and long sharp teeth with two of the teeth sticking out of it's mouth. It let out a loud howl causing the demons to step back a little. The other demon resembled a large eagle with purple feathers with long purple talons. Unlike it's body it's head was red with horns on either side of it's head. It let out a loud screech. Lana approached the two demons who lowered themselves to her level. The six year old smiles at them before rubbing the large demon bird's beak and scratching the large wolf's head. She then climbs onto the wolf's back in between two spikes. "Alright you three! Let's get them!" Lana ordered. The three demon animals charge tonwards the demons. The werewolf demon lunged towards one of the fat demons and bites into it's throat and rips it out. Then the Werewolf demon slashed a few imps with it's claws even slicing the imps' throats. The demon eagle flew towards a red demon and rips it's head off with it's talons. The demon bear lunges at a large red demon and slashes it in half with a roar before going after a group of imps. All the while, Lana is laughing as she rides the werewolf demon. She hears flapping and sees Lola flying next to her. "I swear you and these animals are disturbing sometimes." Lola comments. Lana smirks and pats the Werewolf demon's head. "You're just jealous." Lana comments. "But these guys keep coming though. Are we gonna be able to take them all down?" "I don't Know. But we need to hold them and buy Lori some time." Lola said. "Easier said than done." Lana growled. "But we know our duty." "To kill all demons that threaten our home." Lola says. "Easier said then done." Lola said as she ready her claws and lunges towards the fat demon and slashed it's face off. "She was jealous." Lana muttered to herself. Leni jumped from building to building using her hair as giant legs as she shot at demons in air with her M-16 while also ripping them in half with her hair. Lucy then teleports in and slashed two demon in half with her katanas before throwing a knife at an imp's head. Lisa is running back and sees a large group of demons. Lisa's eyes began to glow red and fires a large red laser beam at the demons either slicing them in half or reducing them to ashes. Lisa began to run back home again, as she shot down the flying heads with her laser vision. Another head goes after her again but it suddenly stops and explodes only leaving Lily standing in the remains giggling. A little creeped out and horrified Lisa grabs Lily and continues making their way home. "Minor sibling this is harder than anticipated!" She says. Soon Vanzilla pulls up next to them with a mounted mini gun on top with Rita at the controls and Lynn Sr. driving. "Get in!" Lynn Sr. ordered. The two youngest Louds comply and climb in. "Give them hell honey!" Rita starts firing the mini gun at the charging demons. Lynn Sr. then drives off. "Thanks Parental units." Lisa said. "Lisa fill me in on everything." Lynn sr said. "We fought the demon army in town square, we managed to get the generator, which is in Luan's possession and Lori and her meta human counterpart are fighting the Demon Lord." Lisa explained. "WHAT!?" Lynn Sr. exclaimed. "She's fighting the Demon Lord?!" "She insisted." Lisa said before looking out the window and firing eye beams. "Damn it." Lynn Sr. cursed. "What about Zaroos and Lincoln?" "I don't know." Lisa admitted. "Zaroos tried to sneak attack the Demon Lord but he was soundly defeated. Last I saw he was launched into a building." "She won't last a minute against the Demon Lord." Lynn Sr said. "Same goes for her other counterpart even with her speed." Rita is shooting down every demon she sees, she even pulls out a grenade and throws it down a fat demon's mouth blowing it up to chunks. "Honey I hate to break it to you but Lori is the only one trying." Rita said as she shot at demons. "You have said that you wouldn't stand a chance against the Demon Lord and you basically said that Zaroos didn't stand a chance either. But the difference is Zaroos tried to fight. As is our oldest daughter and her double." When they reached the house Lisa and Lily exit vanzilla. "You two get inside, once Luan comes home she'll give you the generator." Lynn sr explained. "What about you father?" Lisa asked. Lynn Sr. sighs. "I'm gonna do something I should've done years ago." He says before driving off. Back in town square Speed Queen is throwing all of her punches at Tetherby, but he blocks them right before the impact. Demon Lori jumps up in the attempts to slashed Tetherby with her sword, but Tetherby dodged the attack and kicks Demon Lori a roundhouse kick to the chest. Demon Lori gets knocked to the ground, but she pulls out her guns and shoots bullets into Tetherby's chest, but unfortunately it was not enough to put him down. "Damn you." Demon Lori growled. She charged again firing her guns as she ran but once again the bullets barely fazed him. Speed Queen then sped behind him and tried to kick him in the neck but Tetherby caught her leg before throwing her into Demon Lori. "Damn it. We're not doing anything to him." Speed Queen growled as she got up. She noticed Demon Lori putting different bullets into her gun. "What are those?" "Remember the bullet I used on Lily?" Demon Lori asked and Speed Queen nodded. "Well these are also special bullets. These are laced with holy energy. Let's see if these do something." "Let's put that to the test." Speed Queen said as she ran towards Tetherby. Speed Queen starts circling Tetherby and super speed while hitting him in different spots annoying him. "You little wretch." Tetherby growled as he tried to strike her with hellfire. "You will suffer." "Not before you." Speed Queen said. As if on cue Demon Lori leaps over Speed Queen and aims her guns at Tetherby. Demon Lori shoots the holy bullets into Tetherby's chest, arms and legs. Tetherby began to feel a burning pain in the bullet wounds and screams in pain. "They work." Speed Queen said. "Not gonna lie. Didn't think they would." Demon Lori admitted while rubbing the back of her neck. "But I'll take it." She then starts firing again. Meanwhile in a nearby building, Zaroos lays on the ground unmoving. He let's out a groan and sat up. "That could've worked better." Zaroos says. You alright? "I'm fine child." Zaroos answered. "It was a fools gambit to attack the Demon Lord." You still had to try though. That has to count for something. "It doesn't if it doesn't do damage." Zaroos retorted. "This world is finished." You're giving up already? C'mon we can still win. "It's hopeless." Zaroos argues. "It's useless to fight him. You felt his power. We stand no chance." There's always hope though. Right now my sisters are out there fighting the Demon Lord while we're napping. We can do this. So are you with me or not? "I'm with you Lincoln." Zaroos said. "Let's raise some hell!" Zaroos gets back up and runs towards the battle. Demon Lori and Speed Queen land hard on the ground as Tetherby blasts them away. "Pathetic." Tetherby says. "I was expecting more." His eyes widen and he immediately puts his hand up catching a hook chain. "You're still alive Zaroos?" He turns to face said demon this time showing no signs of fear. "You're persistent as ever. "You will burn in hell Demon Lord!" Zaroos roared. He sets his chain a blaze which forces Tetherby to drop the chain. "I will end both of your lives." Tetherby said as Zaroos charged towards Tetherby and whips his chain at the Demon Lord. Tetherby recoils from the attack and attempts to kick Zaroos, but Zaroos dodged the kick and gave Tetherby an uppercut to the face. Tetherby quickly recovered and launched dark energy at Zaroos who rolled out of the way. Zaroos then started whipping his chain at Tetherby who blocks them before being hit by the last one. Zaroos then lunges towards Tetherby and began giving him fiery punches and a Bicycle kick to the face. Tetherby recovered from the attack, grabbed Zaroos by the neck and choke slammed him to the ground, that is when Zaroos double kicks Tetherby right into the chest. "Pathetic." Tetherby said ignoring the flailing of Zaroos. "A demon bonded with a human. You have sunk to a new low. Now both you and the human will die." "Never. This boy came to me as I lay dying." Zaroos grunted. "He came to kill me and proved his worth. But then I assured him I was no threat. I sensed great good inside the boy so I made him an offer. Bond with me and you can be the hero you want to be. We can kill demons together. Now we fight as one. Even now I hear him yelling in my head to destroy you. And who am I to deny that?" He then shot fire from his mouth at Tetherby forcing the Demon Lord off him where he's then his with a bullet. "Nice shot." Speed Queen says to her other self. "Um that wasn't me." Demon Lori says. They look around and spot Lynn Sr. several feet away with a sniper rifle in hand. "Dad?" "I'm tried of hiding." Lynn sr said as he loaded another bullet into his sniper rifle and fired again into Tetherby's chest knocking him down. "Whoa." Speed Queen gasped. "I'm tired of running." Lynn Sr. says as he shoots another bullet at Tetherby. "And most importantly I'm tired of the constant violence. This is finished. Give up. Your demons are dying at the hands of my kids. You're time is finished." "Damn you." Tetherby growled as he got back to his feet. Suddenly a blue portal opens up behind. Demon Lori and Lynn Sr. aim their guns at the portal. "More?" Demon Lori asked. Speed Queen gasped. "No. It's a Multiverse Wormhole!" She gasps. Demon Lori's earpiece goes off. "Yo sis! These blue portals opened up all over the city!" Luna reports. "I see. An ally is assisting us in a different universe." Tetherby said. "My demons! Go through the portals and serve our new allies as you would serve me!" He blasts the ground forcing everyone back. "Farewell halflings. Your time is running out." He laughs maniacally as he steps through the portal. Speed Queen rushes to try to get through it but the portal closes before she can get through it. "Damn it!" Speed Queen shouted. "The Demon Lord is gone!" Zaroos exclaimed. "He and his army could be anywhere in the multiverse." Demon Lori said. "But who would help him?" "We have no time for that. We need to get back home and figure out how to get your double back to her universe." Lynn sr said. "You're right dad. Hey other Lori, let's get you back home before our world gets worst." Demon Lori said. "Yeah." Speed Queen says. "If Tetherby was evil here, does that mean my Tetherby is too? Am I right not to trust him? Don't got time for that. Now I gotta get home." Multiple Girl flews around the multiverse, right when she is thrown out of the portal and lands in a pond. "Ew!" Multiple Girl cringed as she exits the pond. She looks at her surroundings and sees cherry blossom trees and form the distance, is Japanense inspired buidlings. "Am I in Japan?" Multiple Girl began to walk around and looks around, but when she tries to make a call on watch all she can hear is static. "Damn." Multiple Girl cursed. Multiple Girl starts to wander around the city trying to figure out where she exactly was. "This place totes looks like Royal Woods but like in Japan." She looks around and sees a large temple at the edge of the city. "Maybe someone there can help me." Multiple Girl began to walk to the large temple in the distance, as she walks to her location she looks around the city and see Japanese letters on some buildings. "Maybe I'm in Japan?" Multiple Girl said. "Excuse me young lady." A voice said stopping Multiple Girl in her tracks. She turns to see a short Japanese man at cart with several items on it. "Are you lost?" "Um, I think so." Leni replied. "I'm trying to find Royal Woods." The man strokes his beard. "Hmm yes. You are quite lost. Royal Woods is thousands of miles away. You are in Japan. Royal Kiyoto to be exact." Multiple Girl frowns at that. "Oh well that's not good." Multiple Girl says before turning to the temple again. "Do you know anything about that temple?" "That temple in the distance?" The old man asked. "Yeah, do you know who lives there?" Multiple Girl asked. "Yes. Warriors that protect our city." The man tells her. "Samurai to be exact." Multiple Girl tilts her head. "Samurai?" She repeats. "Yes. Samurai. Brave warriors who fight for justice." The man explained. "Though in ancient times they served as enforcers to the high class. These samurai however follow a different path and protect us from evil." "What kind of evil?" Muiltiple Girl asked, but before she can get an answer she hears people screaming and running away. "From them!" The man said and begins to ran away. "Who?!" Multiple Girl asked. "The servents of the Black Samurai!" The old man said. Multiple Girl then turns her attention to where the people are screaming. She then sees several armored beings wearing gray armor carrying spear axes. They almost looked knights in a way. "Stay here." Multiple Girl told the man before approaching the strange beings. "Wait!" The man called but Multiple Girl ignored him and kept walking. One of the armored warriors sees her and rushes her. It swings it's spear axe her but Multiple Girl catches it with two hands before ripping it out of it's hands where she then swings at the warrior hitting it in the side taking it down. The other armored warriors hear the commotion and see Multiple Girl standing over their fellow warrior. They let out primal roars and charge at her while Multiple Girl with spear axe in hand gets ready. "Remember your training." Multiple Girl whispered to herself. She then made her move. Multiple Girl charged towards the Armored Warriors and swings her spear axe at two of the en she sticks the spear axe into the ground and double kicks one armored warrior. She pulls out the spear axe out and slashed some armored warriors and knees one of the in the chest. Then Muiltipe Girl impales one of the armored warriors in the chest. Multiple Girl pulls the spear axe out of the warrior and turns her attention the last one. The warrior prepared it's spear axe as Multiple Girl prepared hers. They then rush each other. Once they're close they both thrust their spear axes forward for the finishing blow but Multiple Girl avoids the thrust while the warrior was unable too as the spear axe went through it's chest. Multiple Girl stands amongst the bodies and pants heavily using the spear axe as support. "You are indeed a warrior." Multiple Girl turns and sees the old man from earlier approach her. "You fight with such skill and grace. Who are you?" Multiple Girl hesitates before answering, pondering which name to give him before finally making a decision. "Multiple Girl." Multiple Girl answered. "My name is Haru." The old man said. "A honor to meet you. Now follow me to my shop. We can talk there." "But what about the temple?" Multiple Girl asked. "No worries." Haru assured her. "It'll only be a few minutes." Multiple Girl and Haru are walking down the street until they reach Haru's shop and walked inside. "It's a nice place." Multiple Girl said as she looked around. "What do you sell?" "Tea. Would you like some?" Haru asked. "Yes please." Multiple Girl replied before sitting on cushion. Haru goes in the back and prepares the tea kettle. He places it on the stove and starts the flame. He then fills up a bowl with water and grabs a rag. He then approaches her and kneels next to her. "Allow me to dress your wounds." Haru offered. Multiple Girl looked at him confused until she noticed a small gash on her bicep no doubt from the earlier fight with Xander. Haru soaks the rag and starts cleaning the wound. "You are quite the warrior. Very skilled. However I can tell you're not from here." "I'm from another Earth or something like that." Multiple Girl tried to explain. She winces a little as Haru pulled out some thread and a needle and started sewing the gash shut. "Where I'm from some people have powers. But more use those powers to hurt people. But me and my sisters and brother and friends fight to protect people." "Very honorable." Haru says as he cuts the thread. "What can you do?" "I can make copies of myself." Multiple answers. "Not sure what my limit is yet though." "A very useful technique indeed." Haru said as he grabbed the tea. "However I sense you have more potential to your powers than you think." Multiple Girl looks at him with a smile. "Thanks. But I should probably get to that temple." Multiple Girl says. She goes to get up but Haru stops her. "I'm afraid I can't let you do that just yet." Haru tells her. "You're not ready." "But I have too." Multiple Girl argued. "I don't have a lot of time." "Then we'll have to be quick then won't we?" Haru says. He stands up. "Follow me." He grabs the tea and spear axe and proceeds leads her to the back. "Tell me, can you duplicate yourself as well as items you're holding?" Multiple Girl looks at him confused. "Duplicate items that I'm holding?" Multiple Girl repeats. "Yes, can you do duplicate items in your hands?" Haru asked. "No I can't." Multiple Girl replied. "Then let's begin your lesson." Haru said. "How can you teach me?" Multiple Girl asks. "Grab the tea cup." Haru tells her completely ignoring her question. Multiple Girl picked up the tea cup. "Now duplicate." Haru said. Multiple Girl managed to create another clone of herself, but the clone didn't have the tea cup. "Damn it!" Multiple Girl groaned. "You're not focused." Haru tells her. "Your ability to duplicate yourself will never reach it's full potential if you can't also duplicate the item you're holding." "Then how do I do it then?" Multiple Girl asked. "Focus your energy and transfer it to the cup." Haru explained. "The cup will then become a part of you so to speak. As long as you hold it, the cup will duplicate." "If you insist." Multiple Girl said as she did Exactly what Haru told her to do. She grabbed hold of the cup and closed her eyes. When she opens her eyes she sees another clone of herself with the tea cup in her hand. "I did it!" "Yay!" The clone cheered as well. "Well done." Haru said as he took the teacups. "I was running low on these." He then grabs the spear axe and hands it to Multiple Girl. "Now try duplicating this. Remember you only to be able to duplicate once to make it permanent. Also, larger items require more focus and energy." "Ok. Here goes." Multiple Girl said as she began to focus on making another Spear Axe. "Focus, focus." She opens her eyes and sees a duplicate of her but with no spear axe. Multiple Girl let's out a groan. "Your mind is scattered." Haru tells her. "It's too distracted. You must focus on one thing and one thing only." "Ok." Multiple Girl said as she closed her eyes. "Empty all distractions." Multiple Girl opened her eyes and see another clone of herself with the spear axe in her hands. "Well done." Haru says. "I did it." Multiple Girl gasped. "I can't believe it. Thank you." "You are most welcome." Haru says. The clone merges with Multiple Girl. "Come with me. I have a gift for you. A few gifts actually." "Gifts? Ok make it quick, I can't be here for long." Multiple Girl said. Haru goes to a shelf and pulls down a long case. He brings the box over and places it on the ground. "Open it." He tells her. Multiple Girl nods and opens the case to reveal a light blue katana. "Whoa." Multiple Girl gasped. "This will allow you to get into the temple." Haru tells her. He then hands her a sash. "This will hold the blade for you as well as your spear axe. There's a button on the spear axe that will shrink it down for better transport." Multiple Girl ties the sash on her body and when she finds a red button on the spear, she pressed it and the blade retreated intro the staff and it shrunk down into the size of a Rod. "That's totes cool." Multiple Girl said. "The weapons those creatures carry are advanced." Haru tells her as Multiple Girl placed the rod in the sash. "But you still were skilled enough to defeat them. Go to the temple. There you will get the answers you seek." "Thanks Haru!" Multiple Girl said as she walked out of the shop and began to run towards the temple. Once she's gone Haru pulls out his tea and drinks it. "She's on her way old friend. Please help her any way you can because I know she can help us." The tea only rippled in response. Multiple Girl panted as she climbed the steps to the temple. The temple was a lot bigger than the Temple of the Eleven Masters so it had a lot more steps. "So many stairs." Multiple Girl panted. "Real glad Soothsayer had us work on our cardio." Once Multiple Girl reached the top of the stairs, she dropped down on the ground and began panting. "So many steps!" Multiple Girl said as she panted. "Seeing spots." She gets back to her feet and slowly approached the entrance. Once she's through she looks around and saw what looked like a training ground as there were training dummies all around. Behind it was the actual entrance to get inside the temple. "Guess I know how to get inside." Multiple Girl says. She takes a step forward when she suddenly stops. Then with quick movements she pulls her katana out and swings it to the right where it clashes with another katana. Multiple Girl sees the wielder of the katana is wearing cyan colored armor and helmet that covered their eyes. With a shove the armored warrior pushed Multiple Girl back putting several feet between them. "You are trespassing." The warrior said with a women's voice as she pointed her katana at Multiple Girl. "Leave now." "I'm sorry but I like can't do that." Multiple Girl responded. "Also you sound totes familiar." "I will not warn you again. Leave now or face your demise!" The warrior threatened. "But I need some help to get back home!" Multiple Girl said. "You are trespassing!" The warrior tells her. "Leave now or else." "I'm not leaving." Multiple Girl says defiantly. "And you can't make me." "Then you have met your fate." The warrior said as she charged towards Multiple Girl and swings her katana at her. But Multiple Girl blocks the attack with her katana. "I totes don't have time for this." Multiple Girl growled and the two began their sword fight. The two clashes swords as the battles around the training ground. While Multiple Girl had some training with swords from her training with Zelda this fighter was clearly more experienced than she was especially with how fluid her movements were. The warrior swings her sword at Multiple Girl but she bends backwards to avoid it. Multiple Girl then took a chance and swung her blade at the warrior but much to her surprise the warrior brought her sword back into a defensive position locking the two in struggle to overtake the other. "You're impressive." The warrior complimented. "But you're out matched.' "True but I have a trick up my sleeve." Multiple Girl says. She swings her katana upwards which pushed the other katana away. Multiple Girl then leaped up and hit a jumping kick that knocked the warrior onto the ground that resulted in her helmet falling off. Multiple Girl then slowly approached the downed warrior and gasped at what she saw. "You look like me." She takes off her mask to reveal her face to her doppelganger. "Another me?" Warrior Leni questioned. "What sort of trickery is this!?" "Um, why are talking like that?" Multiple Girl asked. "You sound smarter?" "A lot happens when your parents are murdered by a crazy evil samurai and you gotta train to get revenge." Warrior Leni said. "But how are you another me?" "Oh I'm totes from another universe where we have powers." Multiple Girl explained. "What kind of powers?" Warrior Leni asked. Multiple Girl makes another clone of herself and the clone waves at the other Leni. "Hi, other Leni." The clone said. "You are from another universe." Warrior Leni said. "Like totally." Multiple Girl says. However she can say anything else, they're quickly surrounded by multi-colored samurai. "Um, this doesn't seem good." "Guys what's going on?" Warrior Leni asked. The samurai took off their helmets to reveal the Louds of this universe. "What's going on is that she is an intruder." Lori tells her. "You said you'd handle it but she's still here." "I'm not an intruder I need your help!" Multiple Girl said. "It's probably a trick." Lynn said. "No it's not I'm from another universe and the longer I stay here, your world will fall into chaos!" Multiple Girl explained. "She lies!" Lola shouted as she aimed her sword at Multiple Girl. "She's probably working for the Black Samurai!" "Calm yourself children. She speaks the truth." A familiar voice says. Multiple Girl turns around and sees none other than Haru. The Louds all surprisingly bowed to him. "Master Haru." Lori greeted. "You've returned." "You're the old man I met. Why didn't you tell me you lived here?" Multiple Girl asked. "I wanted to find out for yourself." Haru said. "That's why you were able to train me." Multiple Girl said with realization. "Correct." Haru says. "Children lower your blades. She is not a threat." The Louds all placed their swords away as Multiple Girl's clone returns to Multiple Girl. "So what brings you here other Leni?" Lola asked. "I'm from another universe and I need to return right away." Multiple girl said Lisa scoffs. "Impossible. There's no such thing as other universes." She says. "Ah but that's where you're wrong young Lisa." Haru tells her. "The Multiverse is vast and without end. And most importantly very much real." "You believe it?" Lincoln asked. "Yes. This Leni is from another world where you kids have superpowers." Haru explained. "Superpowers?" Lori questioned. "Yes. Superpowers." Haru says. "However we must help this Leni get home or else our world will decend into chaos." "So like our world will have bad things happening and stuff?" Lynn asked. "Yes." Haru replied. "And we don't have much time to send her home. As of now we have less than twenty-four hours to send this Leni home." "Ok but how?" Lucy asked. "I do not know." Haru admitted. "Maybe the master knows?" Lana suggested. "Maybe." Haru said stroking his beard. However Multiple Girl was confused. "Wait. I thought Haru was your master?" She asked. "He is but we also have Haru's master." Warrior Leni explained. "He trained Master Haru and has a hand in our training as well." Come let's ask him." Haru said as he begins to walk inside the temple with the Louds and Multiple Girl following him. "So this must feel weird, seeing another version of you." Lori said. "It is. Especially seeing that outfit." Warrior Leni said. "You don't like it?" Lori asked. "I mean it's so last season." Warrior Leni says. "Especially the colors." "I see." Lori said. They stop in front of a large door. "Remember. Be respectful." Haru says. He opens the door and Multiple Girl is shocked at what was inside. A large green dragon with bright red eyes. And it was extremely long. Everyone bows to the large creature. "Greetings Master Shonlen." "Greetings, Haru and Louds." Shonlen greeted. "And new visitor." "Um hi." Multiple Girl waved her hand. "Master, this is another Leni from universe. We seek your advice." Haru said. "Ah yes." Shonlen says. "Another universe. A tricky situation." "Yeah and I don't have a lot of time to get home to my universe before this place goes crazy." Multiple Girl explains. "This could be a serious threat for not only our world but yours as well." Shonlen replied. "Is there a way to send this Leni back?" Lori asked. Shonlen doesn't answer right away as he closes his eyes and thinks about it. "We might have an old artifact that might send her home." He tells her. "Ok so let's fire it up and get other Leni home." Lynn says. "That is impossible." Shonlen growls. "The artifact is useless as long as the Dark Samurai is among this world. He dark blade interferes with the artifacts power making it useless." "So we have to like destroy the Dark blade right?" Multiple Girl asked. "Easier said than done." Haru tells her. "The Dark Blade is a powerful weapon that can't be destroyed by conventional means." "It's also the weapon that killed mom and dad." Luan added grimly. "Oh my goodness." Multiple Girl gasped. "It was a hard time for all of us." Lincoln sighed. "But I have a question." Lynn said as she walks up to Multiple Girl. "How do we know we can trust you? How do we know you aren't something created by the Dark Samurai?" The rest of the Louds exchange glances as they all placed hands on their katanas. Except Warrior Leni. "Hold on let's calm down." Warrior Leni said trying and failing to defuse the situation. "She could be secretly working for the Dark Samurai sis." Luna tells her as she aimed her blade at Multiple Girl. "How do we know we can trust you?" "I'm not working for the Dark samurai. I don't even know the guy." Multiple Girl said. "But the world is going to be in chaos if I stay here for too long." "Luna stand down." Warrior Leni orders. "If she was working for the Dark Samurai I would've been dead when she knocked me off my feet." "Also she is indeed a hero." Haru added. "When the Dark Samurai's henchmen, the Waricks attacked the town it was Multiple Girl that defeated them." "Yeah I even took one of their weapons." Multiple Girl said as she showed the spear axe. "You took that from them?" Lynn asked. "It's how I beat them." Multiple Girl answers. "So I guess we can trust you." Lincoln says. "But if you backstab us in any way. You see our blades in your heart." Lynn threatened. "That's enough." Shonlen growled. "Samurai are supposed to carry themselves with honor. This is not the way you were trained." "Yes master." The Louds say while bowing. "Good. Now check on Lily." Shonlen told them. "She's probably awake now. Lori and the Lenis you stay here. We must discuss everything." The Louds and Haru exit the room leaving Lori, Warrior Leni and Multiple Girl in the room. "Thanks for having my back." Multiple Girl whispered to her counterpart. "Hey we Lenis gotta stick together." Warrior Leni whispered back. "Plus Haru has never lied to us. Ever." "Wow. You're so smart." Multiple Girl compliments. "Yeah I know." Warrior Leni said. "Master Shonlen, why do you want to speak with us?" Lori asked. "There is a way to send the other Leni home." Shonlen tells them. "However it involves getting the Dark Blade." "So we sneak into his lair and take the dark blade?" Lori asked. "No!" Shonlen roared with such force the three girls were almost blown away. "It's too dangerous. We'll have to wait until the Dark Samurai shows himself. Once we get the blade I can use my power to uncorrupt the Dark Blade and revert it back to it's original form: the Light Blade." "But him showing up could take forever!" Multiple Girl argued. "Actually he shows himself a lot more than you think." Warrior Leni tells her. "Oh really." Multiple Girl asked. "Yeah we all fought him a couple of times." Lori said. "However you must not underestimate him." Shonlen says. "Once we get the blade and purify it, we can figure out how to get you home." "Like ok, but it sounds like it's going to be hard." said Multiple Girl. "With our help, we'll get the blade and make sure you're back home in no time." said Warrior Leni. "I do hope so." Multiple Girl says. There's a knock on the door. "Enter." Shonlen ordered. The door opens to reveal Luna. "Yo dudes. The Black Samurai is making his way to our front door." Luna announced. "He's here?!" Lori and Warrior Leni exclaimed. "This is your only chance to get the dark blade, I suggest you don't waste it." Shonlen stated. Multiple Girl nods. "Totes got this." She says before the four girls run outside. When they get out there they see the rest of the Louds and Haru waiting in the training ground. Multiple Girl then hears what sounds like marching and she sees a man wearing all black armor with a black blade at his hip. He was followed by an army of Waricks that heavily outnumbered everyone there. "That's him." Warrior Leni says. "The Dark Samurai." "We meet again Louds." The Dark Samurai said. "And Haru, you're still alive. Much to my disappointment." "What are you doing here?" Haru asked. "I've come to end the Loud bloodline and kill you and your master once and for all." The Dark Samurai replied. "You bring great disgrace to that armor." Haru tells him. "You killed your former fellow student as well as his wife." "Dad trained here?" Multiple Girl asked. "Indeed." Lisa replies. "Father trained here decades before we were even born." "You two were my finest pupils yet you let jealousy cloud your mind when Lynn Sr. was chosen to wield the Light Blade." Haru continued. "Via your anger you tried to steal the blade by Lynn stopped which resulted in your exile. Until a year ago when you killed Lynn and Rita Loud leaving behind their eleven children. If I hadn't arrived, you would've killed them." "Well I'm about to end the bloodline of the Loud family. But first I will kill you!" The Dark Samurai said. "You ain't killing anyone Andrew." Haru says surprising everyone. "Why not remove your helmet and show everyone who you are." "Oh my gosh. You guys have your own Andrew Tetherby?!" Multiple Girl gasped. "You know who he is?" Lori asked. "Just some business man where I'm from." said Multiple Girl. Dark Samurai scowls before smirking. He then grabs his helmet and takes to reveal Andrew Tetherby. However this version has a scar across his eye. "Hello everyone. You've now seen the face of the one who's going to end you all." He says. "No, we're going to end you and avenge our parents!" Lynn said as she pulled out her sword. "You kids forget that you are clearly outnumbered. You have to take us all down." Tetherby said. "Outnumbered?" Multiple Girl repeated as she took a step up. "I don't think so." She closes her eyes and when she opens them there's twenty copies of herself. "Whoa." Lana gasped. "So cool." "Indeed however we're still outnumbered." Lisa reminds them. "Doesn't matter." Lori tells her. "Now our chances are better." "Interesting." Tetherby says. "You definitely aren't from around here. But you can still die nonetheless." He turns to his Waricks. "Kill them all." The Waricks all charge towards the Louds as they take out their blades. "For our parents!" Lori shouted as she and the rest of her siblings take out their katanas along with Multiple Girl. Lori slashes several Waricks before kicking another one causing it to fall down the stairs. Another sneaks up behind her but Lori stabs it before it can do anything. Lincoln jumps in the air and slashed two waricks and impaled another warick in the chest. Luan spun her katana around and sliced three waricks' throats as they dropped to the ground. Multiple Girl and her clones slashed their way through the Waricks when the original saw Haru facing off with Tetherby. "Oh no." She whispered. "Today is the day you die master." Tetherby tells him. Multiple Girl runs towards Tetherby and blocks the attack with her katana. "Like not today!" Multiple Girl said as she glared at Tetherby. "More interruptions. No matter, I will toss you aside like Lynn and his wife." said Tetherby. "Wow you are evil." Multiple Girl says as she tries to push Tetherby's katana back with her own. "Which means it's my job to stop you." With a thrust she pushes forward causing Tetherby to stumble back. "I'd like to see you try." Tetherby tells her as he readies his Dark Blade. Multiple Girl swinged her sword but Tetherby blocked the attack with the dark blade. The two engaged in a sword fight and they lock blades until Tetherby parries and kicks Multiple Girl in the chest knocking her down. Tetherby swings his blade down but Multiple Girl rolls out of the way and gets back to her feet katana ready. She rushes forward and swings her blade at Tetherby but he sidesteps her causing her stumble forward and allow Tetherby to hit Multiple Girl in the back with an elbow. Multiple Girl gets back up and slashed Tetherby's right arm, but he still has his grip on the dark blade. Tetherby place his hand over the Linda and sees his own blood. Both Multiple Girl and Tetherby both swinged their blades only for the two swords to clash, while Multiple Girl kicks Tetherby in the gut. "You should just surrender." Tetherby tells her as he continues to swing his blade at Multiple Girl who blocks it. He then kicks her back. "You're outmatched." Multiple Girl let's out a growl. "Then maybe we should even the odds." Multiple Girl turns and sees Warrior Leni joining her katana ready. She then turns to her double. "Let's show this guy what we Lenis can do." "Totes." Multiple Girl says. Both Warrior Leni and Multiple Girl both charge Tetherby and swing their blades at him but Tetherby blocks the attacks and counters their attacks with a slash, but the two girls blocked his attack. Warrior Leni gives Tetherby a roundhouse kick to the chest, pushing him back. Meanwhile, Lucy leaped off of the roof of the temple and slashed a Warick before stabbing another one in the chest. Two more rush at her but they stop in their tracks before collapsing to the ground revealing the twins. "There are a lot of Waricks here." Lola says. "You're telling me sis!" Lana said as she stabbed a Warick in the chest with her blade "We can't keep this up forever!" Lola replied. "Then it's time for backup." Lisa said as she slashed a Warick. She presses a button on her gauntlet and a large samurai mech lands in front of them. Multiple Girl looks up from where she's fighting Tetherby and gasps. "OMGosh!" She says. "Wait till you find out who's controlling that thing." Lori tells her. "Get'em Lily!" "Lily?" Multiple Girl repeated. "Boom boom!" Lily shouted as the SamuraI Mech takes out a giant katana and swipes the waricks left and right. "You let Lily pilot a mech?!" Multiple Girl questioned. "She's too young to hold a katana." Warrior Leni replied. "But old enough to pilot a mech?" Multiple Girl questions again. Warrior Leni just shrugs. "Don't worry. The mech is super easy to control." Lynn said as she slashed a Warick. "It has very few controls." Lily stomps on a squad of waricks with the mech's left foot and even slams her giant katana on the waricks. "At least she knows how to use it." Multiple Girl said right before going back to fight against Tetherby. "It won't be enough to stop me." Tetherby said as he swing his dark blade but Multiple Girl and Warrior Leni blocked the attack. "He's too strong to take head on." Warrior Leni grunted as she tried to block the Dark Blade. "We might have to try something different." "Like what?!" Multiple Girl asked as she blocked an attack from Tetherby. "Just be ready to strike when I tell you too." Warrior Leni tells her. "Like ok." Multiple Girl said as she readied her katana. "But what's the signal?" "Just wait till I say 'Now' ok?" Warrior Leni tells her before kicking Tetherby in the gut. "Just hang back." "Ok." Multiple Girl said as Warrior Leni ran off. Tetherby got back up and smirked. "I see that the other Loud abandoned you." Tetherby said. "No she has a plan." Multiple Girl said. She readies her katana but before she can do anything it's knocked out of her hand by a flying dagger. "But you won't survive long enough to see it prevail." Tetherby says. She reached for her waist and grabbed her spear axe. She pressed the button and it extended. "That's one of my weapons." Tetherby said. "Well it's mine now." Multiple girl said as she twirled the spear axe and slashed Tetherby's Armor with it. "Impressive." Tetherby said as he took a stance again. This time it was a defensive stance. "If it truly is yours, prove it." Multiple Girl charged towards Tetherby and attacks again, but Tetherby blocks her attacks with each strike. Then is when Multiple Girl attacked the left side of Tetherby's body. Tetherby quickly recovered from the attack attempts to slash Multiple Girl but she dodged the attack gave Tetherby a roundhouse kick to the gut. "You have skill but you lack proper training." Tetherby says. He swings his blade at Multiple Girl but she blocks it with the spear axe. He swings again but Multiple Girl ducks and uses the spear axe to sweep the legs out from underneath him. "I've been trained by the best." Multiple Girl said as Tetherby gets back up and shoulder tackles Multiple Girl to the ground. "Like I said. No proper training." said Tetherby. Multiple Girl goes for a sweep kick but Tetherby dodges it but it allows Multiple Girl to get to her feet. She then takes several steps backwards. "He's strong." Multiple Girl muttered. "Hopefully other me's plan works." "Tetherby!" Warrior Leni shouts from the roof of the temple. Tetherby looks up at the temple. "Come and get me!" "You ran away from a fight, just so you can be one top of a temple? Pathetic." Tetherby said. "Just you wait and see what I have in store." Warrior Leni whispered. "Now!" She shouted, With a thrust Multiple Girl swings her spear axe upwards launching Tetherby into the air. Multiple Girl then grabs her katana from the ground. Warrior Leni then leaps off the temple while Multiple Girl uses her spear axe to launch herself upwards. Once the two Lenis are close they both slash him with their katanas which causes him to drop the Dark Blade that is caught by Haru. Both Lenis land on their feet several feet apart while Tetherby lands between them. "Damn it." Tetherby growled. "Damn you Louds." "It's over Tetherby. You Have only have one option." Lori said as she tossed a dagger to the ground. "Seppuku." Just then a portal opens up which surprised everyone, even Tetherby. "Sorry I won't be committing Seppuku today. My army and I are going to a new world. Waricks go through the portal!" Tetherby commanded as he and the waricks run towards the portal. Multiple Girl but the portal closes right. "Damn it!" Multiple Girl cursed. "What was that?" Lynn asked. "I think that was the Multiverse portal that brought me here." Multiple Girl answered. "And you didn't go through it because why?" Lisa asked. "I didn't want to end up at the same location with Tetherby or end up in a different universe." Multiple Girl said. "It is probably for the best." Haru said. "But we have the dark blade, we just need to purify it and you back home." "Are you sure it'll work?" Multiple Girl asked. Haru takes a deep breath. "Nope." This caused everyone to humorously fall backwards. "But we have to try." "In the meantime you're stuck in here for awhile." Warrior Leni said to her other copy. "But I can't be here for long, knowing my world could be in danger." Multiple Girl said. Sydney, Australia Meanwhile the rest of the L-Crew along with Soothsayer, Ryker and Mr. Cuddles stood outside a large ice castle. "He seriously lives here?" Ronnie Anne exclaimed. "Indeed. He takes great pride in this castle." Soothsayer tells her. He knocks on the door. "Jack Frost are you home?" "In a minute mate." A voice called from behind the door. Seconds later the door opens to reveal Jack Frost in his Australian attire minus shoes. "Good day mates. C'mon in." He stands aside allowing everyone to step in but once Ryker steps in he stops him. "You know mate I don't think we've met." "Names Ryker." Ryker says as he shook the ice God's hand. "Who might you be?" "Frost. Jack Frost." Jack answers but Ryker chuckles. "Good one. Seriously who you?" Ryker asks again. Jack just stares at him. "He really is Jack Frost Ryker." Soothsayer said. "Indeed mate." Jack says as he walks over. "So what brings you lot here? And where's everyone else? Seem to be short a few mates." "They have been thrown across the Multiverse." Soothsayer said. "So they're not on Earth?" Jack asked. "Yes, but they're on different earths." Bobby pointed out. Jack just blinks before heading to his kitchen. "Alright mates, explain it slowly and calmly so ole Jack Frost know what's happening." He says as he prepared a drink. "Our friends were out following a power source late at night. When they Arrived at the source of the location, they were taken out of universe and thrown into other universes." Soothsayer explained. "Hmm. I see." Jack said as he took a sip of his drink. "The Multiverse is a very fragile thing. Even we Gods don't mess with it. If what you're saying is true, time is at the essence to fix this mess." "So you'll help us?" Bobby asked. "Yes I will help you. We better hurry, the more time we waste, the more this world suffers." said Jack. "Wanna save mama." Petty said as he punched his fist into his palm. "And we will big guy." Sam assured the rubber monster. "We'll save all of them!" "Then let's back to Royal Woods and figure out our next step along with who we attempt to recruit next." Soothsayer tells them. "I'll call Clyde when we get back." Ronnie Anne says. "He might be able to help find recruits." "They can handle the situation that is." Sam said. "We're going to need all the help we need to prevent the end of the world and bring the Louds back." Ryker said. "Then back to base immediately!" Soothsayer ordered. "There is much to do."

Character vs. Narcissism in Storytelling
There is something unique about stories today, and in ways they are stronger and weaker than ever.
In Poetics, Aristotle emphasized the importance of plot above anything, and character was considered secondary.
"For the plot ought to be so constructed that even without the aid of the eye he who hears the tale told will thrill with horror and melt to pity with what takes place. But to produce this effect by the mere spectacle is the less artistic method and dependent on extraneous aids."
More often today, people are concerned about the reverse. Characters are what come above everything. We draw pictures of our characters, fill out questions

20 Ways to Boost Your Creativity
1. Create something every day. If there’s one secret to productivity, this is it. It’s not sexy or exciting, but the bottom line is that creative masterpieces aren’t built overnight. They take time and dedication, and you will only make real progress if you work every day. If you haven’t formed a daily habit of creativity yet, start today. It takes about a month if you’re serious about it, and then it becomes second nature and you’ll never look back.
2. Value progress over perfection. Productive and perfect are not synonyms. Which would you rather be?
3. Accept that what you create won’t be perfect
Ana's Awakening By Ivancit And Max My ears picked a strange sound. Nobody is in the lab at this time. Who could be?. When I opened my eyes, I saw her, a woman I never saw before. She was dressed in black and using a flashlight on her head. Weird. The computers are on so there is energy? What is she looking for? For a moment I remained there watching the woman quickly accessing the database on the computers. There was much I could do either way as I was resting on my tank. Floating in water with a breathing mask on was how I spent my days since… Well, I don't truly know. Oh! She must have done something bad. Red lights are flashing throughout the room. The secure doors locked us inside the lab. She will be in such trouble  The mask hid the grin on my face as she tried in vain to open the door. It will be best if she calls her superior and… wait. She is coming to me. "I'm so sorry for what I'm about to do* I heard her saying as she was working on the panel next to my tank. "I promise that if we get out alive of this, you will be free" she said pressing her palm on the scanner. Suddenly, I felt my mind filled with info. This woman was my master. She was my reason for existence. The liquid of the tank was drained and the tube opened. The woman, who was taller than me, grabbed me. "I got you. Are you alright?" She asked me while removing my breathing mask. My lungs took in the environmental air for the first time I could remember.  "Bioweapon 023 active. Awaiting commands" I spoke. My mind didn't let me say anything else. Just then, the locked doors were opened and a group of armed soldiers rushed inside. "Step aside from the asset" a man I recognized said. He was the leader of the lab and quickly stepped forward the armed soldiers. When the woman didn't move, the man ordered "Kill her but don't harm the asset". When the soldiers pointed their guns at her, I felt my body turning into fire. "Dangerous threat detected. Initiate eradicate protocol” "No. She is not your master" the man said and when he saw the exposed hand of the woman he lost his mind. "Kill the asset or we all are going to die" he yelled. Everything moved in slow motion for me as I stepped in front of my master. The man fired their weapons, but something was off. They were shrinking before my eyes. They had been aiming to my head, but his laser tags got lower and lower on my body. They were pointing at my forehead, then my nose, then my mouth, my neck, my breasts and beyond that I lost track of the lasers as my breasts seemed to get bigger than they were. All of that happened while the guns fired but the bullets were traveling at a very slow speed. I crossed my arms to protect myself and gasped to see my arm bulging with muscle. What was happening to me? Whatever it was, I didn't want it to stop, as it felt good. Very good. I feel strong, incredibly strong, like I could take over the world. When the men looked like little boys to me, time moved at normal speed again. The bullets hit me on my belly but instead of hurting me, they tickled me. I would have laughed or giggled, but I didn't. Once the soldiers ran out of ammo and tried to reload, my body moved on its own. I swung my arm and one of the soldiers' heads exploded while his headless body was sent crashing with his team mates. I punched another guy and my fist not only broke through his armor, but through his insides. My hand came out from the other side.  That soldier fell to the ground with a big hole in his chest, the others were terrified to see that, but I didn't stop and advanced towards them. Two of them tried to reload their weapons but I took them by the waist and lashed them to the ground. his entrails spilled out. There were only a couple of them left and their leader, whom I had as my main elimination objective, so I gained momentum and decided to ram against them all. I passed through them easily as if they were made of paper, unfortunately that man in the suit dodged my attack. "Stay away from me, monstrosity, I order it as your creator" the man told me as a way of imploring mercy, but all I did was to grab his head, bend down and crush him against the ground, killing him. But as the threat was neutralized, something rose inside me. It was something too powerful to control and I found myself punching over and over again his lifeless body until I left him unrecognizable, leaving an amorphous mass of flesh and bones in his place. But whatever was boiling inside me did not stop there. I grabbed with my hands the capsule I had been moments ago and yanked it from the floor. Funny, it didn’t look so big anymore. Then, I compress the capsule breaking everything on it, the electrical wires panels, my breathing tube, everything. My muscles tensed as I pressed it all together. The metal cried but couldn’t stand the force of my muscles. Suddenly, I heard a soft voice, "Stop". I immediately dropped a deformed metal ball made from my capsule. Then, I turned and looked at my mistress although now she looked much smaller than before, the size of a little girl. Even so, her expression was one of fear, horror and sadness, but why? I just protected her from the attackers or perhaps I failed in my task? In an instant her expression changed to a serious face, "we need to escape from here and with your strength I think it will be easier, so let's go". "Changed directive, new objective: escape from the facilities", even with the alarms sounding we left the corridor, everything around me seemed very small to me, but it did not seem important to me at that moment. "Okay girl it looks like the easiest way will be through the wall, can you do it?”. I nodded and after standing in front of it, I punched a huge hole in it. I had to kick the base to open a hole big enough for my mistress. "Good job girl, do that another 3 more times and we'll be in the courtyard of the base”. “Acknowledge. Plotting the best course of action” I immediately ran through the other 3 walls, leaving a hole the side of my body for my mistress to follow. After crossing the last wall, we access a large yard. It was a wide green field that, due to the activation of the alarms, was surrounded by military vehicles such as tanks, helicopters and drones."Attention Bioweapon 023. Return to the base immediately" a voice said from one of the tanks "Mistress. Look for cover, I will open the way" I said to the woman who was still behind me, so it was safe nobody had seen her. “Don’t do anything stupid. I need you to survive alright?” She withdrew to an area somewhat far from me. but without being seen. Without getting a response, the tanks opened fire on me. I covered myself with my huge arms. This time, the tickle was more intense than before, and a large cloud of smoke enveloped me. After checking my arms and not finding a single scratch, I went into eradication mode. I approached one of the tanks and after lifting it by  the barrel, I threw it to the helicopters, managing to destroy the tank and a couple of them at the same time.  Aware of my level of danger, the rest of the vehicles open fire with everything they got. O covered myself and even though their bullets didn't hurt me, they were starting to bother me. I stomped into the ground hard enough to cause a shockwave and watched pleased how several tanks and humvees were tossed aside crashing and burning in flames. With only the helicopters left standing against me, they fired homing missiles against me. Big mistake. The first one, I dodged it by jumping over it, but then I grabbed a second one in the air, throwing it back to the helicopter. Then, the rest of the missiles fly back trying to hit me, but I just jump between helicopters breaking their helices just to immobilize them long enough for their missiles to hit them back. The sky lit up with devastating fireworks. In the end, the skies had been cleared, and the soldiers who survived withdrew. I land on the ground creating huge crates on it. The earthquake unleashed made them stumbled and fell, dropping their weapons in their running escape. With the threat neutralized,  I walked to where my mistress was hiding and said "secondary objective completed. Do you wish to continue the escape?". My mistress looked at me from the ground where she fell after my landing. She had a shocked expression on her face as she stood up looking up between my legs. Then, shaking her head, she said "Let's get out of here before reinforcements arrive, I know a place where we can hide in". Without thinking too much about it, I carried my mistress on my arms. She had gotten so small that it was faster that way. Again my mistress seemed shocked by my actions, but she didn't say anything, she pointed me in the right direction and we left the facility and got into the woods. As I carried her, Finally realized she wasn't the one that had shrunk. It was me who had grown. The tanks and vehicles were as big as they should be. I wasn't sure why it took me that long to figure it out. With the moonlight shining, my mistress guided me to where she had hidden motorcycle. "Thanks for the ride, but I can go myself from here" my mistress said and I kneeled on the ground to leave her to stand on her own. "I shouldn't ask you this, but I'm sure you are more than capable of keeping up with me," she said, climbing on her motorcycle and turning on. "I dIdn't anticipate bringing company and to be honest, I don't think you wouldnt fit in on a normal vehicle, but don't worry. I won't leave you alone. You're safe with me" she said putting her helmet on I didn't know why, but her words really brought me some comfort .  As she rolled away, I followed her running up. I heard her laughing as she increased the speed and I matched it without problem. Even when I was running next to her, my feet didn't shock the ground too much. I ran for hours without feeling tired until she slowed down and made me only jog to keep up. "Can you hear me?" I heard her voice inside my ear. I looked down at her. She was still wearing her helmet, but she tapped the side of her ear.  "Yes. I can hear you "I replied nodding my head. "Good. It took me a while to crack your ear receiver signal. Now, I can talk to you" she said, looking up at me. "My name is Lynsey.  Do you have a name other than Bioweapon 023? Do you have someone you would like to contact and say that you're safe?" I came to an abrupt stop and my mistress stopped driving. She pulled her vehicle back and looked up to me as I kept quiet trying to remember who I was. I was sure I had knowledge about many things but everything about me, my mind was a blank slate. I didn't even remember my own name. I tried my best to remember my past. Do I have parents? Friends? A home? But nothing was coming out until finally a word visualized in my mind. "Ana" I pronounced, "Although it's the only thing I can remember" "That is good enough. Nice to meet you Ana. Now, let's keep going while we have the protection of the night" she said driving once more. Half an hour later we reached the abandoned part of the city. "And here we are" my mistress said, stopping in front of a huge shopping center that seemed to be abandoned  "Why are we here Mistress?" I replied. "To hide of course. Also I'm sorry that I had to force myself as your master. After learning what they did to you, I was hoping to get you out before the serum will change you". "Change me?" I asked, realizing for the first time my mistress was even at the level of my hips. "There weren't many safe houses I could have access that were adequate to house you, given your current form." She said walking into the main entrance of the mall and we went in, it was a huge place and it seemed to be in decent shape.  "My current form?"  I asked as we walked through the halls and catched a glimpse of a huge monster. My first instinct was to protect my Mistress but then, the truth sank in. What I was seeing was no monster. It was… "Me?" I walked toward the glass and saw what should be my reflection. I could recognize my face, but my body was all wrong. I was a petite slim woman. That I was sure, but the image in front of me was of. Huge woman bursting in muscle. I can't recall a person with so much muscle. Even my muscles seemed to have muscles on them.  As I recovered from the shock, I noticed other parts of my body had developed. My small breasts had become huge orbs of womanly flesh. Not even my huge hands could properly cup them. I turned around and saw my wide hips and big ass. I looked like an overinflated porn star. But honestly I didn't mind. I can recall despising my plain body. Nobody would call me Plain Ana ever again. Wait, who called me that? When I tried to remember, my eyes almost popped out of my face as I noticed what I had between my legs. It was a huge virile penis, as long and thick as my legs with a pair of enormous balls attached to it. The tip of my penis almost touched the ground as well as my balls. Why they gave me such a large member and why it aroused me the idea of using it. "I'm sorry Anna. The serum I was sent to retrieve had already been injected into you. The capsule was keeping it dormant, but once my presence was exposed I had no choice than to activate you. So, I did two horrible things, getting the serum active in your body and stripping you of your free will. The moment I out my hand on the panel I became your Mistress and there is nothing that will change it" Lynsey seemed genuinely concerned about what just happened to me, but to be honest there wasn't any to regret. I just look at my arms and flexed them admiring the mountain of muscle erupting from them. Lynsey seemed to be shocked as well by the size of them. "My body is working as indicated. Awaiting further commands" I replied. I didn't want to say that, I just want to thank her for saving me, but what happens in my head, my mouth can't voice. "Right, right. First thing on the agenda will be to look for something for you to wear. You must be feeling very cold" she said as we stepped in the mall  The two level building only let me appreciate how big I was. The second level was up to my breasts.  The doors of the stores on the first floors were a bit higher than my knees. It will be impossible for me to get inside them.  "Perhaps one of the stores has some curtains or a large piece of cloth covering the furniture that we can use. Normal clothes are out of the question" she said. "No clothing required. It will only hinder my movement. This bioweapon is immune to weather or extreme temperatures" I replied. Oh crap. I was really looking forward to cover myself. I don't like the idea of having these huge tits in the open. Not to mention the monster cock between my legs. I need to find a way to ask. Mistress about it. "Well that is convenient" Lynsey said looking again at my cock. I was sure to know what was happening through her mind. 'Her cock is bigger and thicker than my whole body' At the same time, I tried to tell her that I really wanted something to cover myself but no words came out of my mouth no matter how hard I tried.I even tried to make a sad expression but it didn't work either, it's like my body works separately.My thoughts were interrupted as I heard her stomach rumble "Well, since you don't need clothes or something to cover yourself, let's get something to eat shall we? I haven't eaten since I rescued you". "This bioweapon does not require organic sustenance", again my body speaking for me.I feel horrible saying that since I actually wanted to eat with her  When she heard my refusal, she made a smug expression  then she exclaimed in a firm tone "Too bad. You will come to eat with me and that is an order, understood?” she said, winking an eye  She knew something inside me would prevent me from disobeying her order, so I had to complete it anyway.  Too bad she couldn't see the big grin I had in my mind. "accepting command, waiting for order to execute the assigned task". I said robotically, but inside, I was jumping and clapping like a little girl. I felt thrilled that she found a way to use my 'programming' to eat with me "Excellent, I'll go and see if any of the restaurants in the food court had operative cooking stations. You go to the warehouses where they keep the products and bring food, such as canned food or rations. This place has supplies for cases like this, we'll meet at the food court, is that clear? And sorry to give orders again but if we will find a way to make this work, ok?" "task received and ready to be executed, meeting point the food court",I knew that she was doing it for the good of both since my new size and strength could greatly facilitate the task, but this blindly following orders was not to my liking, what the hell did those men in that laboratory do with my mind?" I headed towards the supply stores through the main corridor of the mall since I assumed they would be in a place far from all the stores, but on my way I stopped to see if any stores had food, unfortunately they were only clothing stores , cosmetics, electronics and household items. Apparently there was no place nearby with food and I was discouraged since I did not want to be separated from Lesly for a long time, but my mood changed when I saw a supermarket inside this place, I would find supplies faster and other things that would not be useful in our stay here. I approached and saw that it had a fairly wide entrance and higher than normal which would allow me to enter crouched since it was impossible for me to do it standing up, although there was a problem and it was that it had an iron curtain that prevented me from entering. "located obstacle starting removal"I approached and grabbed it with both hands and felt how the metal bent like paper, then I pulled it and detached it as if it were a cloth curtain, I threw it aside, leaving the entrance free. Seeing how I got rid of such an easy obstacle terrified me. If I can do that with the minimum of strength, what feats will I perform with my maximum power? With the metallic door off, I had to crawl to get into the store. My breasts, cock and my over muscled body proved to be more troublesome than the door. For a moment, I considered just letting my body make its way into the store but my brain warned me about putting in danger the construction integrity. I was glad my directives prevented me from harming Lynsey even if it was by collateral damage. Fortunately the pace was two store high so I could walk around without problem. As I look for something to eat, my eyes look at the different cans of food left in the store. There wasn't much, but there was some. Suddenly my eyes caught a glimpse of a can of beer. "Perhaps Lynsey will like some?" I said grabbing the pack. Then, the realization of what I did sunk in. "I can talk!" I felt truly happy and I almost danced in the store. I approached the entrance and tried to shout at Lynsey but no words came out. "What the…?" After testing my voice, I deduced I could talk when nobody was around to hear me. "At least I can be myself when I'm alone" I sighed wishing Lynsey could hear me. I grabbed a box with canned food, then put the beer pack and finally some sodas. I grabbed a particular brand among the ones I found. Perhaps I liked it before I was changed? Not sure, but it was worth it if I could figure out something more about my past. After getting out of the store, I walked toward the food court located in the second level of the mall. I was glad for that, as I was able to see Lynsey without hurting my neck by looking down.  I grinned to see Lynsey had mounted a portable stove on two tables. She was busy connecting the gas and igniting the fire. "Task complete. Awaiting further instructions" I robotically said after placing the supplies on the floor. I hate myself for interrupting her like that  "Excellent timing. I got the stove ready to cook and… oh! Beer. I didn't ask for it, but it's well accepted it" she grinned at me , making my heart fill with joy. Then she looks at a pack of sodas. Look up to me and smile. "Are you recalling something more? This soda is quite popular on kids your age" I was surprised for her comment but I was sure what to reply. I moved my head to the sides.  "It's a shame. But we will make some progress there. Don't worry Anna. You aren't alone anymore" she said, patting my hand. Then she started to look into the canned food, not aware of the tear sliding down my cheek. Trying Lynsey's food was awesome. She is a really great cook and did wonders with the canned food by adding some spices she found in the fast food area. She left me alone to go to the bathroom alone and with her away, I recovered my ability to talk. "That was the best meal I ever had. Not that I recall others, but this was great" I laughed before burping quite loud the result of the soda. "Excuse me" I said blushing, glad nobody was around. "So you CAN talk" Lynsey said, having catched me. My highland senses had been fooled by her spy training. As her presence was known, my body got into Bioweapon mode. My blush vanished and my embarrassment turned into a neutral state. "Awaiting further orders" "Oh no. You are not going to hide again. Now that I know you are there, I want to talk to the real Ana" Lynsey said, approaching me. My weapon personality didn't even flinch but inside I was extremely nervous. Seeing she wasn't getting the response she was looking for, she decided to change tactics. "Bioweapon 023. Am I your Mistress?" "Yes" "And as your Mistress you must do everything I command. Is that true?" "Yes* "Tell me reason you were talking outside parameters" I was hoping for an answer but my lips didn't move.  "That was an order, Bioweapon 023. Comply" "Bioweapon speech restrictions are not active when external sources are not present" "Can those restrictions be permanently deactivated? Comply" 'Oh yes. That will be so cool' I said in my mind but then my lips moved. "Negative. Speech restrictions are an essential part of the Bioweapon combat protocols" I was devastated. "So, they can be deactivated during non combat situations?" Ah? "Affirmative. However, the deactivation will work only when the master is the only person present"  "Alright. Deactivate speech restriction" Suddenly I was free to let out a low sigh. "Finally". As soon as those words left my mouth, I covered it and blush. Lynsey looked at me with a grin on her face. Then, between my fingers I spoke, "Can you hear me?" "Loud and clear" At that moment I felt enormous joy. I could finally communicate with someone in a normal way since I became this and who better than the person who saved me, I began to make small jumps which made the place tremble slightly. "Thank you for freeing me from that monotonous way of talking, you don't know how much I wanted to talk to you". "Don't worry, and calm down a bit or you're going to knock down the building with your little jumps* Lynsey smiled seeing Ana smiling. "And please, don't thank me, it's the least I could do after having become turning you into what you are now. now that you want me to tell you  Also, if there is something you would like to ask me, feel free to do it  I'll tell you as much as I can",  Lesly commented as I stopped myself from jumping. "Ok first, what were you doing in the laboratory and why did you free me?" I asked curious, even though I had an idea about the second, I wanted to be sure. Linsey sighed, "Well, here we go. Where do I start? I'm a spy. I was sent to retrieve documents and a sample of the serum Hades was working on. You may not know, but Hades is a military contractor in charge of supplying weapons, equipment and resources to different governments.  We received information that they could en agenda and of their own were developing bioweapons that would bring the world to its knees" Many doubts arose inside me as I processed this new information. Why would a company develop bioweapons? Was it due to  that project I turned into one? Also why me? Wasn't there someone else they could use? Hades had turned me into a monster and for what? Suddenly a vague memory popped into my mind. It was the image of a girl my age taken to a place by men in suits. WAS THERE ANY OTHER PEOPLE BESIDE ME KIDNAPPED IN THERE?. Lesly noticed my reaction "Hey, are you okay? I thought I lost for a moment" I came back to myself "I'm sorry, a memory arrived, I feel that there are more people who need to be rescued from there" "Umm, while hacking their system I noticed a section label as a processing unit. The schematics matched the ones used for holding cells, but I couldn't investigate the matter further because I was discovered and it was at that moment that I made a risky decision to wake you up and use you as my escape route". For a moment Lesly remained quiet as she thought what to say next. "I'm sorry Ana. I knew that by activating you, the serum would change you, but I also knew that if I didn't do it, you would end serving another person, one with no good intentions for sure" she said, letting this info sink onto me. "At least this way, you won't be used to harm others while also assuring me a way to escape. And while most people will think I killed two birds with one stop, the true is that perhaps if I wasn't discovered, I could have found a way to remove the serum inside you" "Thank you. You are such a good person Lynsey. I'm glad you help me, and that is why I ask you to help me one more time. "Say no more. I will contact my superiors. The information you gave me is very valuable" Lesly said while taking a laptop from a backpack that was on the table. "After giving my mission report, they may authorize an attack on the complex, especially if they see with their eyes what you are capable of. They will know that Ana, the girl I rescued, wants to help us finish off Hades once and for all" "Wait, don't you think it's better to eat before calling your bosses?" I said nervously. "If you want me to appear on camera, I don't think I'm presentable yet" I said as an excuse I didn't want other people to see me now. "It's alright. We are all girls" Lesly said, starting the call. ********************** It has been an hour since the meeting with Lynsey bosses had ended and the mall was full of life again. Several women were installing equipment in the abandoned shops. While others were preparing beds and medical supplies to receive at the rescued people from the complex. Of course, no matter how busy they were, when I stepped in, all stopped on what they were doing.  As I walked in the isle, my steps shook the ground making it impossible not to feel my approach. I wouldn't be so heavy by now. If i wasn't carrying two heavy loaded containers, each on one of arms. Most of the 'valkyries' watched me with their jaws dropped as I handled such a burden like it was nothing and that wasn't far from the truth. Even though each weighed more than a ton, they didn't feel heavier than the pack of beers I carried before. How strong did they make it? The mere idea to use this power against innocents really angered me. Hades needs to be taken down. "Where is required to place the shipment of medical supplies" I asked in my monotonous voice to the medical chief. A blonde woman with glasses and a white lab coat. "In the corner over there. Thanks Ana" she replied but I didn't return her thanks. My programming  didn't acknowledge the use of my name to others. Only Lynsey as my mistress could. "Mission objective complete. Proceeding to the secondary mission" I said after placing one of the containers on the ground and began to walk away. Still, I feel a bit odd as the doctor was watching my gigantic male member carefully. I would normally be embarrassed, but it was at this time I was thankful for my emotionless programming. As I walked deeper into the mall, I reached the command center assembled by the strike force of valkyries. Lynsey introduced me to them, and even though I can refer to them by name basis, they will be the women that will join the attack on Hades's lab. "Wow Ana. You are really strong, '' Heidi said. She specializes In hand to hand combat so she has her share in muscles too. Not at my level of course. "With you on our side, taking down Hades will be such a piece of cake," Susan said, lifting her left arm with a victory sign. She was by far the cheerful of the team. She was also the strategist of the team. "Thanks Ana for your help. You can place the container there" Rebecca said, pointing to the cleared area in the hall. She was quite tall and had red hair. She was also an expert of hand to hand combat, granting her a muscular body in pairs to Heidi. She was the embodiment of what a Valkyrie should be. Once the container was down Lynsey approached and whispered, "How are you doing, Ana? Everything good? I didn't anticipate the bosses will send so many people'' "I'm embarrassed, there is no doubt about that. Being naked in front of so many women is not fun, but I'm dealing with it" I said, getting on my knees to speak as low as possible to not break my programming. "That is good to know. The bosses were so impressed with you that they sent the best of the best for this operation. Rest assure, we will get the other people kidnapped" "Thanks Lynsey" I replied standing, letting the other girls approach the container. "Alright girls. Gear up!" Lynsey said, opening the container to reveal armor and weapons inside. All the girls reached out to grab a weapon, the weapons were high caliber assault rifles, grenades, a few pistols and a few rocket launchers. This would be a very risky operation but if all went well we would rescue innocent people. "Hey, wait for me, I want to participate too, I want to be a heroine", I heard a voice in the distance that seemed to be that of a very young girl. As she approached, I saw a red-haired girl who seemed to be around 18 years old, she was very thin as if she would not have matured yet "No, Maria you haven't had the training or experience in the field yet" Susan said somewhat annoyed, and I understand her, someone so young going on such a dangerous mission is not an ideal decision.  “"Don't worry Susan I'm more than a cape-, hey are you seeing what I see? It's a human but it looks as if the Hulk had injected himself with Bane's super steroid Venom and was exposed to growth pym particles to be the tallest person on earth and oh my god look at those tits they are huge, and those balls and penis just as gigantic as her breasts" I was already embarrassed enough, Maria's comment only made the situation worse. I didn't want anyone to emphasize my new appearance, I wanted to cry and run out of there, but my programming prevented me from doing so, luckily Lesly turned to look at me and made an expression. It said 'keep calm'. "Maria! stop, she is our new partner her name is Ana, she was kidnapped by hades and turned into what you see now, but she is willing to help us and stop them so be good and kind to her, and you will not go with us, it is an order" "Okay, I'll stay here but when you come back I want Ana to spend time with me and help me with some things" "Okay, it will help you get to know Ana a little more." Maria then retired to her position. I liked the idea of living with her despite the fact that in front of her I am an emotionless automaton, maybe Lesly can disable my robot mode with Maria. At that moment, Susan approached me "Excuse me, Ana, Maria recently joined the organization and she was assigned to me.  She is a specialist in technology and information technology, she will be of great help, I assure you, she is very good at what she does. Very well, are you ready for action?. "Ready to go into combat". I said as I saw susan, lesly and all the girls ready and getting into their vehicles. Let's go then. ********************** As soon as we arrived at the complex, we were received by a horde of spider bots. It seems Hades didn't lose time reinforcing the security of the base. "Level of thread beyond swarm capabilities. Calling reinforcements" said the leader of the swarm before I punched it and flat it against the ground.  The spiders were the size of a human, maybe a little bit taller and their design was to scare any soldier. They had a head and 6 legs that gave them a lot of flexibility and speed. With no humans inside, they move and spin I'm inhuman ways. Of course, no matter how impressive the bots were, they barely reach my knees, so I enjoy kicking them hard. Their reinforced plates were shred like tissue paper at the contact with my leg. Knowing the bot leader estimated my power was beyond their capabilities would have put a smile on my face if it wasn't for my damn programming. I saw bots crawling from every corner of the building. That was good. Everything was happening  as Susan had planned. My presence called the attention of every piece of security in the complex. Bots were programmed to defend the place, not to think my attack was a deception. "Keep them busy Ana. We are already inside. The human forces inside are no match for the Valkyries. Don't worry about us and shut down the communication center" Lynsey spoke due to our communication link. Oops. I forgot about the tower. I quickly grabbed two bots and pressed them together. The metal bent and deformed with ease at my hands. The funny thing was that the bots were tank proof and could stand a nuclear blast. Still, they were softer than clay to my hands. My muscles pulsate with the power of hundreds of hydraulic presses. The only thing that scared me was that I was doing it with no effort at all. With a heavy metal ball in my hand, I aimed for the tower and threw the ball against it. The structure simply was reduced to dust as it was hit by a rail gun. "Communications center destroyed. Proceeding with the extermination of the enemies forces" I said pressing forward my attack. Once I finished with the bots in the yard, I went into the building to draw more attention. Some soldiers were already evacuating the complex. They were running out without weapons, so my inner self didn’t catalog them as a thread and didn’t engage. They knew how to protect themselves from me and even though I wanted to kill every single one of them, I wasn’t there for them. I was there to protect Lynsey and save the prisoners inside the complex. I continued fighting with the spider bots inside the building, smashing them, destroying them with one punch and kicking them like footballs even so it seemed like it never ended it was like an endless horde until suddenly they stopped in unison, one of the bots spoke, "intruders detected in containment cells proceed to eliminate intruders and prisoners". As soon as it finished giving the order, the bots completely ignored me and headed towards my teammates. This was very bad. Those things could kill the entire team in the blink of an eye. I activated my communicator. "Lynsey, the spiders are heading towards you. I'll try to catch up with them. and slow them down but you have to get the prisoners out of there right now" "Understood, we'll hurry but I know you'll catch up with us and help with the escort, over and out." As I got closer, I heard the bots attacking and the screams of people in fear. When I got to where my colleagues were, I could see what was happening, the bots were cornering the team and the prisoners with them. In order to rescue them, I attacked the bots, eliminating everything that crossed my path, until I reunited with my teammates.  With me at their side, we managed to destroyed the rest of the horde in the blink of an eye  "Threats neutralized. Proceed with the escort of civilians" I said while my companions continued taking everyone out of the base. "You arrived just in time Ana, we could barely hold them by ourselves. IIf you would have delay more, we wouldn't have live to tell the tale" Lesley said as we advanced towards the exit where a truck was waiting to get us out of there. She was holding the hand of a young woman. I couldn't manage to see herer face because we were in a hurry. We didn't know if there were more bots hidden ready to attack. I remained behind the group to protect from a sneak attack from behind. Moving by instinct, I stepped ahead Lesley and her civilian just in time to catch a bot that burst free from the wall. How did I knew it was hiding there? not a clue. All that matter was that it was after Lesley and I wouldn't let it harm her. My inhuman reflex let me catch the bot's head with my hand and I grinned as the force of the bot worked against it. The bot momentum let it burst the concrete wall, but couldn't move my hand. It's head crashed and compressed against my fingers. Then, I countered pushing the body against the wall turning it into a pile of scrap metal. I turn around and saw Lesley trying to calm down the girl that was with her. I could see her heart was accelerated from witnessing all the action and destruction she was exposed.  "Threat neutralized" I reported and walked toward Lesley. The echoes of my footsteps didn't help to calm down the civilian. She looked up directly at me and her panic level rose so much I feared she was going to have a heart attack. Since I was ordered to assure safety of the civilians, my programming allowed me to 'soften' my presence, so I kneeled on the ground to see the girl in the face. When I saw her, my body was shocked by a strong emotion to keep her safe. I did not know why, but the face of that girl was familiar to me even though I couldn't remember where I had seen her. Could she be the key to my lost memories? "Don't worry little one. Ana won't hurt you right Ana?" Lesley said reaching for my hand to later guided it to the girl  The girl's gaze turned from horror to sadness "Ana? is it really you?" she slowly approached me and delicately touched my hand "What happened to you, why did they turn you into this?" She said, touching with curiosity my dick. Her voice, her gentle touch, her aroma invaded my advanced senses. For the first time since I became a weapon I felt my member getting harder.  Something inside my mind was stirred and between moans I said. "Colette" not knowing where the name had come from but it was important as my steady heart suddenly accelerated. ********************** It has been 3 days since the fall of Hades base. The Valkyries had scraped everything they could from it. Some data was recovered before the remote wiping command deleted all the info in the base computers. Still, they salvage what they could from bots. I felt sorry that I didn't let any of them intact for reverse engineering. Still, they managed to save something. What was great was they found specialized gear. Pieces of experimental armor which were quite strong and with some impressive gadgets. Since it had been Lynsey's mission and my presence assured the decimation of the base, she was granted the most advanced piece of armor we found. It was a piece of something major. There were at least 4 other pieces being developed in other bases. I still recall Lynsey's grin when she told me she was going to get them all. My mind returned to the present as Heidi and Rebecca were trying to hit me, but even though my mind wasn't fully focused, I was able to dodge, evade and block any attack they threw at me. They certainly looked tired so it could be better if I finish this. "Training complete. Sparring mode activated" I said, lifting my hands as my legs bent. "No. Wait Ana!" both said as I moved like lightning. Heidi crossed her arms over her chest as I punched with 0.0000000000000001% of my strength. Still it was enough to send her backwards several feet. Rebecca was more agile and dodge my kick but when she thought she had avoided my attack, I stomped the ground sending her flying as it had exploded a grenade.  "Targets neutralized. Resume bodyguard mode" I said walking toward a tree where Collete was waiting for me seated on a high branch. "You really should hold yourself, Ana. They are trying to teach you" she said with a grin on her face. That was true, but I like to be on the offensive from time to time. When I started training, the Valkyries knew they weren’t a match for me, but I could use a more refined way to defend myself instead of just standing there and receiving everything that was thrown to me. Not that it could harm me, but we can’t never know when Hades could send another bioweapon to fight me. So, I started to use my body to defend myself and not just rely on my brute strength and invulnerability. To their surprise, my improved brain allowed me to copy and mimic their techniques with great accuracy. I learn in a few days what took them years to master. After that, I became their sparring partner, but even with my low setting of strength, if I caught them unprepared, there was little they could do. Still, in my bio weapon mode, I could show the grin I had on my face, but Colette grinned for me. She was getting quite good at reading my mood under my cold exterior. I came closer to her and she moved from the tree branch into my shoulder. She wanted a piggy ride and I didn’t mind at all. “Take me to the lake,” Colette said, gently hitting my breasts with her legs. She was having a lot of fun riding me like I was a horse. I just didn’t reply and moved toward the destination a bit faster than I should. I wanted to get away from everyone so I could talk with Colette as a normal human being. We headed to the lake in record time. My immense size made the little trip a mere walk when it was very far from any trace of civilization. I wanted to hide as best I could, I was still afraid of what the population in general would think of me when they saw me and being alone with Colette could give me a moment of peace between all this situation, “we arrived to our destination, you can step off the vehicle now” i said joking trying to make colette laugh and do our alone time more enjoyable, i took a look at  the lake it was quite large in size, the water was quite clear from what I deduced that it was clean water which gave me the opportunity to invite colette to swim or at least to accompany me.  “Thanks for bringing me here just like the old days”,I was confused like in the old days, I don't remember ever coming here, my expression of confusion was noticed by Colette "you don't remember right, we used to come here sometimes when we had time" when I heard that I felt even more lost that I forgot so much During the experiment, what kind of relationship did he have with Colette? Were we really close friends? In the middle of my introspection, Collete interrupted me with a soft tone "calm down, that's why we're here, I'll tell you everything and we'll have a good time." I nodded and wanting to hide my body, I went head and walked in the lake. Fortunately it had a nice deep and I was able to sit on the bottom while my head stick out of the water. "Hey! Wait for me!" Collete cried ate as she quickly stripped off her clothes and jumped into the lake. My enhanced vision and memory allowed me to save until the last detail of Coññete naked body. Even we have seen each other naked several times as we grown up, this time was different as I felt the monster between my legs stirring. Seeing her round ass swing as she swam toward me was making the stiffening worse. I did my best to not have lewd thoughts in my mind by replying to my combat with the bots. I sighed relieved as reviving those experiences calmed me down. That was until Collete reached me and touched my breasts upon her arrival.  "Hey Ana. Are you alright?"  'No. I don't' I screamed in my mind as Collete was resting her body on my breasts like if it was a resting platform. I was so big that my friend could lay on my breast. "Yeah. I'm good" I lied crossing a leg over my growing cock. I needed to keep it under control. The least I wanted if that Collete will get scared of me. What if she thinks I'm trying to rape her? That could end our friendship. "If you say so" Collete said, raising an eyebrow. She knew me too well.  Damn. For a few minutes, we remained there without talking. Just enjoying each other's company under the sun. I was glad my body got used to hers and my erection seemed to get under control.  But then, I heard a slight sound, it seemed to come from between the rows of trees near the lake, as if something was watching us. Colette looked at me with some confusion. "You're fine, maybe there's something wrong there," she mentioned. "I don't know, but it would be better for us to get out of the lake and for you to get dressed" I said as we slowly left the lake towards the shore and I watched as Collete approached her clothes and proceeded to put them on. "Ok Ana, I'm ready, we can leave as soon as you decide," she said as I cautiously walked towards her.

Disclaimer:
All information given in this tutorial is true and accurate to the best of my knowledge but I do not claim to be the “be all, end all” in language creation. Everything I know about language creation was taught to me by my anthropological linguistics professor.
Before we begin I would like to point out that I will not be teaching you how to create your writing system until the very end of the tutorial, if at all. This tutorial will be mostly comprised of the speaking part of a language which always comes before the writing system.
