54. Revenge of Jax part 2

Clyde, Soothsayer, Sam and the pets stood outside motionless watching as the L-Jet flew out of view.

"Are they gonna be ok?" Clyde asked Soothsayer. "The jungles of India aren't necessarily the safest."

"While that is true, I'm sure the Louds will be able to handle it." Soothsayer assures him.

"Ok but what about the city?" Sam asked. "The doubles you made aren't gonna fill in are they?"

"No. They are just to fill in at home and school." Soothsayer answered. "As for the city, I'm sure there won't be any problems. For starters, the main threat right now is Jax and I'm sure that Replicate will deal with him. As for the rest of the crime, Surge and Armor can handle things and if necessary we can contact Carol to help keep an eye on things."

"You really have things planned out." Geo comments.

"Um Soothsayer? You might want to come over here!" Mr. Cuddles called.

"Very well." Soothsayer said as they approached the area Mr. Cuddles called from. "What seems to be the issue?" His voice trailed off when he saw what had Mr. Cuddles so shook. Standing in their doorway was Jax.

"Oh crap it's Jax!" Sam gulped.

"Should we get the blasters?" Clyde whispered.

"I'm thinking the same thing." Sam whispered back.

"Calm yourselves." Soothsayer ordered. "I'll handle this." He then turns to Jax. "Greetings. What can I do for you?"

"Hey and not much." Jax answered. "I was leaving the bar and I saw something from this direction so I decided to check it out. Looked like a jet of some sort. You wouldn't happen to know something about that would you old timer?"

"No of course not." Soothsayer said.

"I see. You wouldn't mind if I look around would you? Just want to check on some things." Jax said.

"What would happen if I say no?" Soothsayer aksed.

"You wouldn't like that answer." Jax said.

"Look, I say we let him look around." Fangs whispered. "The kids are gone and we got nothing to hide."

"Agreed." Soothsayer said. "You may look around but don't break anything."

"You have my word." Jax promised as he began to look around. "Not a bad place here."

"Thanks." Sam replied.

"But shouldn't you be at a mall instead." Jax said as he looked at the bathroom.

"Never really was one for malls." Sam answered causing Jax to chuckle.

"I like you kid." Jax said. "I like your attitude. Reminds me of a friend i had years ago."

"What was he like?" Sam asked as Jax walked towards the vehicle area.

"Well he was stubborn." Jax said. "But he was smart. Tough as nails. He was my best friend. Are you, ya know, uh?"

"Bisexual yes." Sam answered. "You got a problem with that?"

"Nope. Got brother who's gay." Jax answered as he inspected the L-Monster. "Nice ride."

"That's my ride." Soothsayer said.

"I see. Where did you get it?" Jax asked.

"I made it myself when I was 30." Soothsayer replies.

"Well your work shoes." Jax said.

"Thank you." Soothsayer said.

"Are you seriously taking credit for the monster truck we stole?" Walt whispered.

"We don't need to raise suspicion." Soothsayer whispers back. "Do you really think he'd believe that a bunch of house pets stole a monster truck?"

"Ok fine." Cliff whispered.

"So is it just you three?" Jax asked.

"Yes. Just me and my grandchildren." Soothsayer said.

"I see." Jax said before approaching Soothsayer. "Are you about that? Are you sure there aren't any other people?"

"Nope. Just us, and our pets." Soothsayer said motioning to the animals on the ground who made their respective animal noises.

"Well then." Jax said. "Sorry to bother you. I'll be on my way." He starts to walk out before stopping by the fridge. "I'm taking a soda for my troubles." He then walks out of the base and to his motorcycle. "One more thing, if you happen to see a bunch of superpowered twerps let them know that if they get in my way, they're done." He then drives off. After he's gone everyone lets out a sigh.

"I thought he'd never leave." Charles said.

"You're telling me." Sam sighed.

"That guy gives me the creeps." Fangs said.

"I'm with Fangs on this one and I was evil." Mr. Cuddles said.

"I hope the Louds get back soon." Clyde said.

In the L-Jet, the Louds sat in their seats in silence. They had been flying for two hours and they were getting anxious to get to India and find the Temple of the Eleven Masters. Lori looked out the window watching the clouds as the jet flew.

"Hey Lisa, how long does it usually take to get from the United States to India?" Lori asked.

"About 14 to 15 hours." said Lisa.

"What?! The Louds exclaimed.

"But about 12 hours." said Lisa.

"I should of brought a game console." Lincoln groaned.

"Do not worry." Martha told them. "We are almost at our destination."

"How?" Lincoln asked.

"Yeah. We've only been flying for two hours?" Lynn added.

"Simple. We are currently flying faster than any modern jet." Martha answered. "So we will be arriving soon."

"Good, I thought we would never get there." Lynn said.

"You're right, I couldn't take another minute." Lola whined.

"Let's just get off this thing!" Leni said.

"Um, Leni are you afraid of flying?" Luna asked.

"No. I'm just scared of flying really fast." Leni said.

"Possibly the fear of crashing. Similar to how someone has a fear of heights but in reality, it's the fear of falling." Lisa explained.

The jet lands and Leni runs outside to hug the ground. "I'll never leave you again!" Leni said.

"Should we tell her that we need to take the jet to get home?" Lincoln asks Lori.

"Not yet. We'll wait til we actually leave." Lori answered. "Alright. So this is India. A lot of jungle here."

"This is the Punavi Jungle." Lisa said. "One of the thickest jungles in the world."

"Like easy to get lost in?" Leni asked while Lynn shrugs.

"So does anyone remember how to get to the temple of the 11 masters?" Lana asked.

"But we have to prove ourselves worthy." Lisa said.

"Right." Lori said. "Soothsayer said that there is a clearing somewhere in the jungle where the temple is supposed to be. So lets get moving and everyone stick together."

"Right!" The Loud siblings replied.

The Louds made their way through the jungle with Lola using her blades to hack at the brush. Lincoln brought up the rear and once in a while would shoot a small fireball from his finger at a tree. As they continued through the jungle, Lincoln suddenly stopped.

"I think we've been here before." Lincoln said. His sisters stopped and stared at him.

"How do you know?" Lucy asked. Lincoln points at a nearby tree and the girls see that there is still some embers on it.

"I've been hitting random trees with fireballs as we went through." Lincoln explained. "And we've already passed this tree."

"So we've been going around in circles?" Lana asked.

"It appears so." Lisa sighed. "So now what do we do?"

"Give me a minute." Lori said. She then hears a low growling. "Lynn, please tell me that was your stomach."

"That's not my stomach." Lynn said.

They turn around and notice that the growling is coming from the bushes and then a tiger pounces out of the bushes but Luan dodges the tiger.

"It's a tiger!" Luna exclaimed.

"Cool." Lana said. The tiger slowly started walking around them. Then, to their surprise the tiger started to speak.

"Outsiders!" The tiger roared. "Why are you here? You are not welcome. Leave now!"

"Did that tiger just talk?" Lincoln asked.

"Why yes, yes he did." Luan answered. "Lori, you talk to him."

"Listen Mr. Tiger. We're here to find the temple of the eleven masters. We got lost and found out we were traveling in circles." said Lori.

"I knew I smelled burning wood." The tiger muttered.

"Sorry." Lincoln said sheepishly.

"As for the temple, there is no temple." The tiger growled. "It's only a legend."

"But we were told that there was a clearing at the end of the jungle." Lori argued. "The clearing is where the temple is."

"The clearing is just that. A clearing." The tiger said. "Now leave." The tiger turns and starts to stalk away.

"You're wrong!" Lola shouted after him.

"Let him go Lola." said Lincoln.

"He's wrong! Soothsayer says the temple is real!" Lola said.

The tiger then turns around with a snarl on his face. "You want proof that it isn't real?" He growled. "Then fine. I'll take you to the clearing myself just to prove wrong and to make sure you leave sooner."

"Fine take us to the clearing!" Lincoln said.

"Very well." The tiger said. "Stay close and don't fall behind."

The Louds and the tiger have been walking and Lola is starting to lose her patience. "So where is this clearing?" Lola asked.

"We still have a long ways to go." The tiger answered. "So unless you don't want to get there, I suggest you be silent."

"Fine." Lola groaned. "I can't believe we're following a tiger."

"Well we obviously can't find it so we sadly need him." Lori pointed out. "I still can't believe he can talk."

"Me neither. But he's no cereal mascot." Lynn said.

"You know that cereal isn't good for you." Lisa stated.

"Yeah I know." Lynn said.

"Are you sure we can trust him though?" Lincoln asked. "Tigers aren't necessarily trustworthy."

"True but we don't have a lot of options." Lori reminds him. "Besides, I'm sure we can deal with him if he attacks us."

"Yeah that's true." Lincoln said.

"I suggest you keep up the pace." The tiger growled. "I'm not the only predator in this jungle." The Louds exchange glances and continue to follow the large cat. As they continued through the jungle, they see an opening in the jungle.

"Is that the clearing over there?" Luan asked. The tiger shook his head.

"No. The clearing is still a while away." The tiger explains. "Through there is a village. We'll be going around it." The Louds follow the large cat and look through the trees as they walk where they see a small village. However, the Louds are shocked when they see the state they are in.

"They look so weak." Lynn comments. She turns to the tiger. "What's wrong with them?"

"Lack of resources." The tiger answered. "The village has come under hard times. The well has dried up and it's too dangerous of a walk to the river. Their crops aren't growing and they're dying of hunger. Plus their animals have run off awhile ago so they have no meat. At this rate, they won't last the cold season." He then starts to walk off. "Come, we're wasting daylight." The siblings begin to follow him when Leni stops and takes one last look at the village before narrowing her eyes.

"No." Leni says suddenly.

"What did you say?" The Tiger asked.

"I'm not letting those people die! We need to help them!" Leni said.

"You're wasting your time. That well is dried up, the crops are dead and the animals are gone. They're deadweight." The Toger growled.

"No she's right." Lori said. "We can't just stand around and do nothing while everyone else suffers. We are still heroes and we are going to do something about this."

"Your wasting your time." The tiger growled.

"Then that's our problem isn't it?" Lori said before she turned to her siblings. "Ready?"

"Ready." They answered in unison.

"L-Crew time!" Lori shouts.

The Louds all changed to their costumes and head on down to the village as the tiger watches them leave.

"L-Crew time?" Firecracker asked.

"I thought it would sound cool." Speed Queen replied.

"It could've been worse." Parkour said. Once they got to the village the people stopped what they were doing and stared at them. Some with curiosity and some with fear.

"Lisa, do you speak their language?" Amplifier whispers.

"Of course I do." Prodigy nodded and walked towards the villagers. She spoke to them in their native tongue that they are not here to hurt them but to help them.

"Do you think they understand?" Multiple Girl asked.

"We're about to find out." Lucy answered as Lisa starts to walk back towards them.

"Well?" The rest of the L-crew asked.

"They're relieved that we are not a threat and they told me their problem with the village that we already know." Prodigy said.

"Ok so I suggest we split up." Speed Queen ordered. "Firecracker and Black Ice will take care of the well. Wildgirl and Amplifier will go hunt down the lost animals. Ms. Appear, Prodigy, Parkour, Multiple Girl, Crystal Princess, Greenthumb and I will work on their crops. Everyone understand?"

"Got it!" The L-Crew nodded.

At the village well, Firecracker and Black Ice stood by the well while the villagers watched with curiosity. Black Ice looked down the well and whistled.

"That's deep." Black Ice comments. Firecracker picks up a pebble and drops it down the well and the two listen and wait for it to land.

"It hasn't landed yet." Firecracker said.

"Must be a deep well." Black Ice said,

"I'll say." Firecracker said. He then hears the pebble hit the ground. "And it's landed."

"Yep. It's deep." Black Ice comments. "Ready?"

"Ready." Firecracker answered. Black Ice then fires a ice blast into the well and it begins to fill with ice. Black Ice keeps firing until she sees the ice come into view.

"That should do it." Black Ice said. "Your turn."

"Right. So fire breath or fire blast?" Firecracker asks. "You pick."

"Fire breath." Black Ice said.

Firecracker took a step back and unleashed his fire breath on the ice until it melted.

"Done and done." Firecracker said. The villagers gather around the well and they see that's it's filled with water once again. They start to cheer.

"I think they're happy." Black Ice says.

At the harvest area, Speed Queen was looking at the soil and preparing to grow some crops. "Ok." She said. "So here's the plan. I'm going to carry Crystal Princess while she sticks her crystals in the dirt so that we can plow the fields. Then Multiple Girl and her clones will plant the seeds that Prodigy brought. Greenthumb will then use her powers so that the crops will grow at a fast pace. Once they're grown, Parkour will slam her hands on the ground which should launch the vegetables into the air where Ms. Appear and Prodigy will catch them. Any questions?"

"How far up will they go?" Muiltipe Girl asked.

"Way up." Speed Queen said while rolling her eyes. "Now let's get to work." Speed Queen picks up Crystal Princess and runs while Crystal Princess uses Crystal blades to make holes in the harvest area.

"Our turn." Multiple Girl stated as she and several of her clones walked up and placed the seeds into the soil. "That was fun." Greenthumb then crawled to the edge of the field and places her hands on the ground. She then makes a face and several vegetables start to sprout out of the ground.

Parkour cracked her knuckles and punched the ground and the vegetables get launched in the air.

Then Ms. Appear and Prodigy managed to catch all the vegetables with a forcefield cup and telekinesis.

"Alright!" Parkour cheers. Ms. Appear and Prodigy take the food to the villagers and then head back to the fields to repeat the process. They then hear a commotion and they see a bunch of animals run out of the jungle with a wolf not far behind as well as Amplifier.

"Animals coming through dudes and dudettes!" Amplfier shouted.

The villagers cleared the way when the animals ran pass them. "You think we got them all?" Wildgirl asked.

"Good job guys." Firecracker complimented as he and Black Ice come over to join them. "We filled the well."

"It was easy." Black Ice added.

"Well it wasn't easy getting the animals back." Amplfier said.

"They're different from my pets back home." Wildgirl stated.

"Wildgirl scared them and got them moving." Amplifier told them. "I made sure they didn't get separated from the group."

"We did good guys." Speed Queen told everyone. "Now lets go see the villagers." They head back to the village where they see everyone gathered. The people them separate and a older man walks up. He approaches Speed Queen and grabs her hands and putting them to his head. He then repeats this action with each sibling. He then says something to them and Prodigy translates.

"He says thank you for saving their village." Prodigy tells them. "And they will never forget us."

"It was our pleasure sir." Speed Queen replied as Prodigy translated.

"Should we get back to our tiger?" Ms. Appear whispered to Amplfier.

"If he's still there." Amplifier answers. The L-Crew leave the village while everyone waved at them. The L-Crew waved back before heading to the area they had left the tiger. When they got there, they saw that he was still there much to their surprise.

"You're still here?" Lana asked.

"I was waiting for you to fail. But I guess I was wrong." The tiger said.

"So you're still going to take us the clearing?" Wildgirl asked.

"I always keep my word." The tiger said. He gets up and turns but stops. "You did good out there. Maybe you outsiders aren't so bad." He starts to walk away with the Louds following him. Unknown to the Louds, the tiger was smiling.

They continued to walk through the jungle and the sun was starting to go down. "We're almost to the clearing." The tiger informed them. "It is just up ahead."

"Good, it's getting dark out here." Muiltipe Girl said.

"Ok we're here." The tiger said.

The Louds walk up only to see a clearing and nothing else. "I don't get it." Lincoln said. "It's supposed to be right here."

"That's what Soothsayer said." Lynn added. "He also said that we had to prove ourselves worthy with a test. Did we not pass whatever test it was?"

"So what's this test that we have to prove?" Lisa asked.

"Test?" The tiger asked.

"You know to prove that we are worthy." said Lori.

"I don't know what your talking about because there is no temple." The tiger growled. He then turns and starts to walk into the jungle. "Leave this jungle and never return. Farewell." He then disappeared into the jungle leaving the Louds alone.

"Now what do we do?" Lana asked. "Jax is still in Royal Woods and we can't stop him."

"Look we'll think of something." Lori assured them. "We'll find a way to stop Jax one way or another and we'll do it together." Lily looks over at thr clearing from over Leni's shoulder and sees a light coming from clearing. She taps Leni on the face to get her attention.

"What is it Lily?" Leni asked and Lily pointed behind Leni. Leni turned around and gasped. "You guys look!"

The rest of the Louds turn and see the clearing glowing. "What's happening?" Lynn shouts.

"I don't know!" Lisa answered. Suddenly the light engulfs them. When the light vanishes, the Louds see that they're fine.

"Well that was weird." Lola comments.

"Yeah." Lincoln agreed. "Also what was that light?"

"I don't know. Maybe the answer is in that temple." Leni said.

The Louds look and see the temple of the eleven masters. "The temple!" Lincoln said.

"Dudes we found it!" Luna shouted.

"It does exist!" Lisa exclaimed. "Who would've thought?"

"So i guess we go in?" Lola asked. Lori nods and the Louds climb the steps leading into the temple. Once inside, they looked around in awe at how large the temple was.

"This place is huge." Lynn said in awe.

"Welcome young ones." A voice said. The Louds turn to see ten elderly people dressed in robes and carrying staffs in hands.

"You're the eleven masters right?" Lincoln asked.

"That is correct my young friends." One of the masters a old woman with short hair answers. "Welcome to the Temple of the Eleven Masters."

"I only count ten." Lori pointed. "Where's number eleven?"

"Why you've already met him." A master, an old Asian man answered before pointing behind them. The Louds turn to see the tiger walk up behind them.

"It's you?" The Louds exclaimed in unison. The tiger nods and glows. Once the light vanishes, the tiger is gone. Instead stands a old African American man with gray hair.

"I am." The man answered. "I believe we all need to introduce ourselves. I am Komu. I guided you here so I could test you."

"The village." Lisa gasped. "You led us there on purpose." Komu nods.

"I needed to know where your lied." Komu explained. "You passed with flying colors. Now it's time for everyone to introduce themselves."

"I'm Lori Loud. The oldest of the Louds, and wields the power of Speed." Lori said.

"I'm Leni Loud, I can like make copies of myself." Leni said.

"Luna Loud's the name, shooting lightning is my game." Luna introduced.

"I am Luan Loud. I can turn invisible and make force field." Luan said.

"Lynn Loud, I'm super strong." Lynn said.

"Lincoln Loud, sole brother and resident pyro." Lincoln said.

"Lucy Loud. Ice powers." Lucy said simply.

"Lana Loud, I can turn into animals." Lana said.

"I'm Lola Loud. I can use use crystals in any way. Mainly armor and weapons." Lola said.

"I am Lisa Loud. Telepath." Lisa said. "And this is Lily who has the ability to control plants and raise plants."

"Hi!" Lily said.

"What a cute little dear." One master with long light brown hair cooed. "But it's our turn. I am Mora."

"I am Kai." The old Asian said.

"I am Zelda." Another master said fair skin with black hair.

"I am Naia." A master said with tan skin and long gray hair that reaches her neck.

"I am William." A master said with fair skin, short blond hair.

"Miros am I." A short master with no hair said.

"I am Spring." A master with light blonde hair said.

"I am Kulo." A old hispanic master said.

"I am Kaval." A master with red and white hair said.

"And I am Luther." The final master with a large gray beard said. "I see you traveled a long way. Come. Let's go sit you can tell us your story."

"Well we're this superhero team named the L-Crew." Lori explained. "We got our powers when Lisa's invention blew up. We decided to Protect our home, Royal Woods. But one day this game named Jax showed up and he has elemental powers and he defeated us."

"I see." Zelda said as she poured the tea. "So you've come here to receive the training to defeat this Jax?"

"Yes." Lori answered. Zelda pours the rest if the tea but stops at Lily.

"Sorry little one." Zelda said. "No tea for you. But I do have something for you." She waves her hand around and a baby bottle appears. She hands the bottle to Lily. "Here you go." Lily giggles and takes the bottle. "She is quite adorable."

"Adorable she is." Miros agreed. "Training however, difficult it is. Push your limits it will."

"How did you hear of this temple?" William asked.

"We heard about you guys from Replicate, and got the full details from Soothsayer." Lori explained.

"Ah Soothsayer." Spring sighed. "Glad to hear he hasn't forgotten us."

"You guys know Soothsayer?" Lynn asks and Spring nods.

"His real name is Caine." Spring explained. "He was once one of us and one of the best too. He loved training warriors for the future. So patient and so kind. He was quite the charmer. Right Naia?"

Naia nods. "Yes he was." She said. "But over time he grew bored of the temple and decided to go out to train the next generation. He always wanted to help people. Shame he couldn't save Caesar."

"Caesar?" Lincoln asked.

"You know the guy who made the salad." Leni replied.

"No my dear." Naia said. "I mean Julius Caesar."

"Julius Caesar? One of the greatest Roman generals in history who was set to become ruler?" Lisa exclaimed. "That Julius Caesar?"

"The one and only." Kulo answered. "He had a vision that Caesar would be killed on the Ides of March. Sadly Caesar chose not to listen. In the end, he paid the price."

"Wait. I thought that only happened in Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar. Are you saying that it actually happened?" Luan asked.

"Yes it did." Spring said.

"Who knew Shakespeare would recreate that part of history." Zelda said.

"There are still so many questions." Lisa said.

"But those can be asked at a later time." Komu told them. "But now there is other things that are more urgent."

"So you'll train us?" Lincoln asked.

"Indeed." Kaval said. "However, there is an issue. The infant cannot be trained in her current state."

"But she's our sister." Lana argued. "And a member of this team!"

"Calm my young friend." Luther soothed. "We said in her current state which infancy. She needs to be a little older." He holds his staff towards Lily who looks at it with confusion. His staff then glows and Lily is engulfed in light. When the light is gone Lily is no longer a baby. She is now five years old with short blonde hair and freckles.

"Lily?!" The Louds sibling questioned.

Lily looks at her hands before touching her face and her body. She then runs her hands through her now longer hair.

"Ok. This is weird." Lily said before realizing what she said. "Whoa. Did I just say that?" She gasps. "Whoa I did it again! This is so weird. I did it again!"

"She's older." Lynn said in shock.

"Indeed." Luther said. "I made her five years old. Perfect for training."

"This is going to get some getting use to Lily." Lisa said.

"Yeah it sure is." Lily said.

"Now children, go and get some rest." Mora said. "Cause tomorrow, your training will begin."

In Royal Woods, Camo sat in his cell in silence. He was thinking about what Jax had done to the L-Crew but how he refused to fight Replicate right there and then. "What are you up too Jax?" He wondered.

"That's what I want to know." Camo looked up and saw Replicate standing in his cell.

"Replicate?" Camo said. "What are you doing here?"

"We need to talk." Replicate answers.

Zachlor16: Ok. So a few little maintenance stuff. First, the person who gave us characters based off him and his brother, we aren't going to use them. At all. No requests. At all. Don't make us say it again. Also, next chapter we will start the Loud family's training and we will start looking into Replicate and Jax's history. Now for all you theorists out there. I got a good one for you. So last chapter we said that Replicate and Jax were friends along with Camo, Stretcher and Aroma. We also mentioned that the give of them were a team. So i want your theories on what caused their team to break up. What caused them to have a hatred towards each other. Let us know what you think.

Smoke: Yeah give us your theories. Also as some of you may know that I'm writing a spin off of Loud heroes that focuses on Maggie. It's just a one time thing, I like some the ideas, but I don't think I'm going to use them. But thanks anyway. Please review and all that.
