(A/N: Hello everyone, before we begin, let me introduce myself. As most of you know, I was once omegacrow-nexus but now I go by NexusCrow-X now since I can't access my old account or my stories. So here's another story I'm bringing another story from my old account to this new one in the form of Loud Ops. As you know, I completed the first Loud Ops story while the second one remains unfinished, and I know you guys were excited of what comes next but looking back at the first, I had fun writing it but I did a see few sloppy parts, certain things didn't make sense, a lot.)

(A/N: And I asked this question before, should I continue it or should I reboot it? After seeing some Marvel What if? It gave me some inspiration for a Loud Ops story with altered journeys for the louds in different universe rather than starting with the whole "no such luck" plot. So instead it'll take place through the Loud House Movie with a "What if?" twist! Some OCS either mine or from other writers might appear in this reboot or they might not, like I said, it'll be a different take. I hope you all enjoy this reboot and I'll do my best on it, now on with the chapter!)

******

The sun was setting over the town of Loch Loud, the place now currently in shambles due to the sudden damage by Lela, courtesy of Lincoln Loud who the townsfolk (minus Angus) greatly despised and hated along with the rest of the family, wanting them gone. However, unknown to all, the one truly responsible for this was none other than Morag, the caretaker of Loch Loud Castle, who had grown tired of the louds antics disrupting her peace & quiet.

It didn't help that they decided to stay and Lincoln wanted to become the Duke of the loch loud in order to earn the respect and love of the townspeople and step out of his sisters’ shadows. So… with finding her ancestor Aggie’s journal and the dragon scepter and the stone needed to control the dragon, she plotted and schemed, feeding the dragon to grow into a full adult to control, manipulate the loud sisters to show off their talents when Lincoln was getting the attention as Duke, as well as Lincoln and what she heard on trying to escape being overshadowed by his sisters & used the dragon ride to her advantage to cause the damage and downgrade the townspeople's opinion of the louds.

Lucille, one of the loud ancestors, came to warn the louds of the terror Morag has wrought, tricking the townsfolk and made herself duchess of Loch Loud, using the dragon gemstone to turn Lela evil & driving the citizens away, making Lincoln and the sisters realize her heinous acts and she was the cause of wrecking the town, not Lincoln.

But by then, Lincoln, feeling that he allowed Morag to trick him like this, he had to do something, the louds all did, wanting to help the louds were going back to loch loud to stop Morag to save the citizens, Lela & all the Loch Loud.

But what if?

(A/N: Just for a reference! XD)

What if that didn't happen? What if Morag had a hunch about the louds return & driving them escape wasn't enough?

The loch loud was beginning… she wanted more than peace and quiet… she wanted it all and to do that, she needed the louds out of the way, permanently.

******

Lincoln: I've got to do something about this.

Lincoln wasn't going to let Morag get away with what she's done. He then turns around after hearing Lynn's voice.

Lynn: No… We all do.

Lori: You're always helping us.

Leni: This time, we're helping you.

Lincoln smiles at his family, feeling determination with his family by his side. It was settled as they were going back to loch loud.

Morag’s voice: That is very touching…

The louds gasp, hearing the sound of flapping wings followed by the voice of the woman who orchestrated the grand usurp. Morag appeared, crown on her head with the dragon scepter in hand while riding on the brainwashed Lela’s head, the dragon glaring ferociously at her once friends now enemies with Morag with a devious grin.

Lincoln: (glares) Morag…

Morag: At your service Duke. Oh, my mistake, I meant (grins evilly) Ex-Duke of Loch Loud.

Lucille: Your acts of deceit, compromise and manipulate mirrored your ancestor, foul witch. You will pay for your crimes.

Morag: Save your blasted opinions for someone who gives a flying haggis. You louds and your antics have always disrupted my dear old Aggie’s peace and quiet as she was successful in driving the louds, including you (to Lucille), of her time away & I shall be successful as well!

Lincoln: Not if we stop you!

Lynn: (cracks her knuckles) Your old ancestor may have skipped out on a beating but you won't!

Morag laughs at the louds defiance.

Morag: I must commence you louds. You have heart & are persistent but absolutely foolish and smart less. For you see, I'm your Duchess of Loch Loud, the crown, the gemstone and the Dragon within my grasp. All thanks to you louds. I mean, you all were soooooo caught in trying to gain the respect and praise of these charlatans of this old loch that you couldn't see the writing on the wall, especially you, Lincoln.

Lincoln: …?!

Morag: You know after what you've told me of your tale, It barely made me shed a tear, nearly felt sorry for you… felt pity for you… so anticlimactic… behind all the so called respect and leadership, you're just a weak, talentless loser trying so hard to reach the goal of being special.

Lori: Don't talk about our brother like that!

Lana: Yeah!

Rita: My son is special, he helped out in many ways!

Morag: (rolls her eyes) Oh please, you lot never really considered him as special. Unlike your daughters, he's barely able to shine & when he had the gall to come here in hopes of becoming the Duke would change that, (taunts) Oh I do hope to become someone other than ordinary Lincoln Loud… (laughs) Hahahaha! Truly pathetic, besides reeling your sisters in part of my plans to overshadow you again, you Lincoln Loud, were the next phase of the plan, to once again get the people of loch loud back in your grace, how pitiful.

Lincoln: Shut up! Just shut up!

Lincoln was shaking with fists balled, fighting back tears.

Lucille: Dear cousin, do not waver. She's trying to get in your head again.

Morag: Face it, Lincoln. You will never be special… no matter what you do, no matter how hard you try, you can't deny the truth. That you're truly gullible and so desperate to escape your sisters’ shadow so badly that your plan of becoming duke blows up in your face… maybe if you haven't came to Loch Loud & allowed the town to remain peaceful, (smiles grimly) you wouldn't have brought the doom that you & your family are about to face.

She raised the scepter up high as Lela was wrecking the boat as the louds were holding on something while Lincoln fell to his knees, tears slowly falling as he wasn't aware of the boat slowly sinking and his family for him. He didn't want this, he didn't want to doom his family or have Morag trick him like this.

Lincoln: No…no, I didn't want this…

Morag: Oh but you did, your goals to outshine your sisters, right? To become the duke without thinking of the consequences? To want it soooo badly that you'll step over anyone to get the goal done. And you say I'm wicked, hehe.

Lincoln: NO! You're wrong!

Lela landed near Lincoln, snorting hot smoke in his face with Morag close to the white haired boy.

Morag: Am I? You just don't get what I'm telling you, making me repeat myself; You will NEVER, EVER be special, always destined to live in your sisters’ shadow, just where you belong… always going to be nothing but gullible, weak, pathetic, worthless, foolish and ordinary Lincoln Loud.

Lincoln felt his entire world shatter, his resolve, spirit and emotions all faded away.

Lucy: Brother…

Lucille: Cousin…

Lynn Sr: Sport, don't listen to a word she says! You're not what she's telling you!

Luna: You've always been there for us, helped us when we needed you!

Luan: Yeah, through good & bad times, you've always found a way to make it right. You never gave up, don't start now!

Lily: Wincoln! No quit!

Despite their family protests and trying to lift him up high, Lincoln remained where he was, unresponsive and unmoving. He didn't notice the water from the sinking ship was reaching his knees.

Morag: (smirks) It's no use. Let him wallow… now that I've broken him, he'll be forever in shame, all the way to his grave!

Morag ordered Lela to deliver the finishing blow as she was setting a large fireball big enough to send the loud family into a watery grave.

Morag: Aggie succeeded in getting rid of the louds of her era and I shall be rid of mine only this time, it'll be a more permanent end.

The louds were fearing for her lives as Morag was about to end them. They wanted to stop her but what they can do against a giant dragon with Morag pulling the strings and their son/brother was broken by her as well. All hope was until Lucille had an idea.

Lucille: Lucy, I think there's one way for you to survive this… do you have a spell book?

Lucy looks at her ancestor.

Lucy: Yes, I do. (Pulls out a spell book)

Lynn: Where & how… on second thought, I don't wanna know.

Lola: Well, whatever you're planning, do it quick or we're fried!

Lucille: Morag must be stopped but not if you're all spirits on the other side, look for a transportation spell, post haste.

Lucy started going through the pages quickly, Lela's fireball was at full power.

Morag: Now… The loud bloodline shall be erased from this world!

Lana: Lela, stop! Morag’s controlling you! Fight it!

Lisa: I believe it is futile with the gemstone in morag's possession and in guarding her, reasoning isn't going to work!

The louds minus Lincoln and Lucy huddled up together as this may be it for them.

Lynn Sr: Well family, this might be it…

Lucy found the spell.

Lucy: Lucille, I found it.

Lucille: Let's read it now.

Rita noticed Lincoln still where he was and immediately went over to grab him and bring him over to the others who embraced the lost boy.

Morag: Fire!

Lela unleashed a large fireball, aimed directly at the loud family, who held each other with closed eyes, not wanting to see their fiery demise. Lucy and Lucille quickly yell out the inverted chant as the book glows blue which surrounds the loud family. The fireball made contact, the entire ship exploding in flames as Morag's wicked and triumphant laughter echoed throughout the seas.

Morag: YES!!!!! AT LAST, THE LOUDS ARE NO MORE!! LOCH LOUD BELONGS TO ME FOR THE DUCHESS I HAVE BECOME! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Now no one shall stand in the way of my peace and quiet, no more obnoxious townsfolk, no more of that ignorant oaf Angus & definitely NO MORE LOUDS!

Morag was laughing louder than ever in malicious glee. Oh, her dear old aggie would be proud of her accomplishment now. But then… Morag had a storm brewing in her brain, her evil grin growing more and more vile by the second.

Morag: But why stop at just loch loud…? With the dragon in my possession, I could have her conjure up more eggs to bring more dragons into this world for me to control. With them, I can take over the entirety of Scotland, no… I could take the entirety of this world… I WOULD BECOME THE DUCHESS OF THE ENTIRE WORLD AND MY WILL BE LAW, HAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Morag's wicked laughter echoed throughout the seas as she and Lela flew back to Loch Loud to begin the starting point of her new conquest.

It seems that terror has befallen not just Loch Loud but later the entire world as Morag has fulfilled what her ancestor Aggie has done, to get rid of the louds, this time for good.

Or so she thought…?

To be continued...
