Merry Christmas everybody! The reboot of Chains of Reality, Divinity Reborn, is officially up! Thanks to everybody for patiently waiting for this reboot, I assure you, your wait will be worth it.

Now, before we begin, there are some things worth pointing out:

1) The number of chapters per arc will be 5-10. Five at minimum, like in this introduction arc, and ten at the very most. So you're not going to have to wait for over 20 chapters for something to be up and done, at worst, it should only be 10.

2) Some things have been changed in this continuity, of course, but most of the stuff in the original is still canon, just in a different form.

3) The characters, both in the prototype and the new reality, all have some sort of brithmark shaped like something specific somewhere around their bodies. If you wanna know what those are for certain characters, go ahead and ask, cuz unless it's important to the current plot, they won't be mentioned at all.

And I think that's about it. I hope you enjoy the fic, and remember... R&R!


Episode 1: A Dream That Caused Intrigue? Ignore It, Let's Go See the Sisters' Events!


Orange clouds, that is the first thing the boy saw. He looked around and saw a barren wasteland. He didn't know how he got there.

An image flashed, one that was quite bizarre, unreal even: One set of ten girls, the ones the boy knew and loved, fighting against... A set of people that looked similar to them? And as they fought with all their strength, a voice spoke:

"You've done a lot of crazy things, but this time, you've gone too far!"

He couldn't tell who was talking, but they certainly didn't seem happy. And they didn't change their tone as more images flashed, and they continued:

"After everything we did for you, this is how you repay?!"

Then the image now showed a large army on the horizon, heading to the war while the other set of sisters stood up, with some difficulty.

"These are our children!"

Next image gave him a closer look at the army, revealing it was composed of people, either close to his age, younger, or older, that looked just like people he knew.

"Your children!"

A thunder roared, with a brief flash taking him to the next picture: The army, all of it, laying on the ground, some in pools of what seemed like blood. One way or another, they certainly didn't look alive.

"What did they do to deserve this?!"

Next image showed the unknown set of sister lookalikes, on their knees, in front of something that was shining, as the voice changed:

"There's no more hope for them..."

This time, he could tell who the voice belonged to.

It belonged to him.

"Or for you... There's only one option left..."

An arm was raised, with orange energy soon surrounding it, as the voice turned back to the mysterious one.

"Wait, Lincoln, please!"

The hand prepared to snap its fingers.

"There must be another way!"

One snap later...

The boy, now revealed to be Lincoln, suddenly "snapped" awake, only to see it was already morning. Sunday morning, at that. And while he would usually just go back to sleep right then and there, the boy remembered that he had to go to some of his sisters' events, be there to provide support and all that.

That, and the chance he may end up getting the dream again made going back to sleep a bit harder. Even hugging Bun-Bun, which was something he did until now, wasn't enough to convince him otherwise.

"Good lord, what was that nightmare all about?" Lincoln asked before he noticed you, the readers. "Oh, hi guys, I didn't notice you were here."

Then the boy saw he was still holding Bun-Bun, and he gently put him down before continuing:

"I just had a bit of a nightmare, that I'd rather not talk about. In fact, I think going out and getting some fresh air would help me calm down, and luckily for me, most of my sisters have events for today. And just as luckily, I managed to ask Lisa to make me a schedule that would help me know where and when to go to each event."

The boy got off his bed, changed to his normal outfit, and left the room... With the last action causing Bun-Bun to move its eyes to watch the boy as he left.

"So, besides that, it's been fairly mundane. Sure, It's been quite noisy, I mean what do you expect from the Loud family? But, when it comes to actual life, It's fairly normal," Lincoln continued, growing somber as he looked put his hands on his pockets. "Almost boringly so. And I'm not going to abandon this life the first change I get, but I wouldn't mind it if things weren't so mundane all the time."

Then, Lincoln stopped, and turned to look at Lori and Leni's bedroom's door.

"Although, now that I think about it, some things haven't been... normal, lately..."

The guy walked towards the keyhole and looked through it to see what his eldest sisters were up to. Leni was knitting what looked like a sweater while she sat on her bed, while Lori looked out the window with a look of contemplation.

After hesitating for a bit, Lincoln went into Lori and Leni's bedroom, and Lori and Leni... Didn't even flinch. Leni continued to focus on her things, while Lori continued to look out the window in contemplation.

"See? They don't react when I enter the room without asking," Lincoln remarked, folding his arms. "Now, Leni not reacting isn't so weird, but if you know Lori, she'd turn you into a human pretzel if you entered her and Leni's room without asking first. Or if you entered it in the first place."

"Okay, in my defense, I was in a very grumpy mood when I made that threat," Lori suddenly explained, catching the guy off-guard. "And besides, I'm not really in the mood to do anything to you, Lincoln. I just wanna..."

Lori looked at the ground, then went back to looking at the clouds. "I dunno, wait for something to happen."

"Don't mind her, she's just, like, feeling like watching the clouds today," Leni stated, focusing solely on whatever she was knitting. "You have to see Lisa for something, right? How about you go see her, like, right now? We're going to be fine, honest."

Lincoln didn't want to leave at first, specially since his sisters seemed to be troubled, but after remembering what happened last time he tried to fix their issues, he figured it wouldn't hurt focusing on Lisa for now. So he left, and promptly went to Lisa and Lily's bedroom, where the first thing he saw was Lisa and Lily sitting on the ground, with a boombox nearby.

"Hi Lisa, hi Lily," Lincoln greeted as he walked to the youngsters. "What are you doing?"

"I have heard that classical music pieces can help babies develop their intelligence, or something along those lines," Lisa answered as she took out some headphones and put them on Lily. "So, I'm going to see if I can prove that hypothesis right or wrong with our dear Lily.

Then, the prodigy remembered something.

"By the way, older brother unit, I got your schedule here," Lisa handed the boy a piece of paper. "I managed to adjust it to make sure you don't miss any of their events. And we're both quite lucky: None of the events overlap with each other, in fact, they flow rather nicely."

And so, Lincoln read the schedule. "Okay, let's see, First Luna, then Luan, Lynn, Lucy, Lana, Lola..."

The boy's sudden pause caught Lisa's attention. "Is there a problem?"

"Lisa, why isn't your name on this schedule?"

Lisa rolled her eyes and walked out of the room. "Oh, please, Lincoln, you already have enough to deal with. Besides, my matters and events are something much too advanced for someone with your intelligence."

Then she yelled, "Mom! Can you drive me to Darcy's house?!"

"Sure, darling, just give me a minute!"

"Okay, I got the schedule, now I just need to wait for my trusty partner to come!" Lincoln said as he rolled up the schedule. "And I think we both know who I'm talking about."

Mere moments later, Lincoln bolted straight to the door as somebody knocked three times. And once he opened it, he saw none other than his best friend, Clyde McBride, standing outside.

"Sargeant Clyde, ready for service!" the boy greeted, pulling the "yes sir" gesture. "What's on the schedule for today?"

"Before I say anything, I need you to honestly tell me if you're willing to spend the day going to my sisters' events," Lincoln asked, folding his arms as he did. "I mean, I'm used to going to their events whether I like it or not, but I usually go alone. You sure you're prepared to join me?"

As Clyde answered, two familiar figures came downstairs: Charles, the family dog, who ran as fast as he could to reach the first floor, and Bun-Bun, Lincoln's bunny plush, who was now moving on its own.

"Absolutely, General Lincoln! Through fire and the flames, I'll be by your side! And besides, my parents gave me permission to go with you, so that little deal's dealt with."

"Okay, in that case, the first one we gotta see is Luna, who's at the school getting ready for her music practice," Lincoln explained as he pointed Luna's part in the schedule. "So, let's get going!"

"You got it!"

So the boys left the house as Charles and Bun-Bun watching them go, the dog suddenly getting sad before the bunny plush comforted him.

Sometime later, at the Royal Woods' High School...

Clyde and Lincoln walked around the hallways of the high school, getting several weird look from all the students that were still trapped on the dreaded building. One of these students were none other than Luna, one of Lincoln's several sisters, who held her guitar while standing outside the music classroom.

"Bro! Clyde! You actually came?!" Luna exclaimed in relief and shock. "When I asked you if you could come bring me some support, I didn't think you'd actually come here and do it! And I didn't think you'd come with Clyde either! I thought you had other things to do?"

"Nah, It's okay, the schedules just so happen to go on a simple list," Lincoln explained as he took out the schedule. "And you're the very first one here."

"What do you need help with, Luna?" Clyde asked, putting his hands on his hips.

"Well, It's nothing extreme, I just need some reassurance from my favorite little brother, and also a sane man who can stop me from embarrassing myself," the rocker answered, as a shadowy figure slowly approached her from behind. "You see, I got a certain someone to teach me how to pull off some rockin' guitar tricks, and It's someone that gives me butterflies."

"Oooh," the boys said in unison, before Lincoln asked, "Who's this certain someone?"

Suddenly, the shadowy figure not only revealed itself to be Sam, but slapped Luna in the butt so hard, she let out a loud scream, all while the blonde musician chirped:

"Good morning, Lamp!"

"G-G-Good morning, S-Sam," Luna stammered as she turned to the blonde musician, only to whisper to the boys, "I managed to ask Sam to teach me a few tricks, but she turned out to be so much more intense than I thought!"

"So, who are these little guys?" Sam suddenly asked, catching the trio's attention. "And why are they here? They look more like middle schoolers to me."

"That's because they kinda are, Love," Luna rubbed the back of her head. "These are my brother, and his best friend, ya see, I-"

"I don't have time to hear the full story, and neither do you," Sam interrupted, waving her hand in a dismissive manner. "We have to go into the music club and start practicing right away!"

"B-But, Sam, you just arrived," the brunette rockstar pointed out. "You're usually so much more laid back, what's the rush?"

"I just remembered that I have an important event to go to, and It's an event I don't want to miss, unless I want a certain brat to steal my spot," Sam replied, growing angry at the mention of the brat. "And besides, you know what Mick Swagger says!"

Luna raised an eyebrow. "Fish and Chips are good apart, but amazing together?"

Sam looked at her quizzically. "N-No, the other saying."

"To be a great musician, you gotta focus on the music, and let it flow, but also make sure to find the right rhythm to it."

"Ha, such inspirational words!" Sam moaned in delight. "Yes, that basically means we need to practice whenever we can, so we can find the right melody quickly!"

Luna hummed and scratched her chin. "I... Guess I see where you're coming from."

Sam clasped her hands in excitement. "Good! Then let's get in!"

Luna nodded and Sam opened the door, allowing the brunette music fan to go into the room, giving her a flirty wink afterwards. When Lincoln and Clyde tried to follow, however, Sam got in front of them and snapped.

"Guys are not allowed in here, you're staying outside."

Clyde quickly replied, "But, we're here for Luna's sake!"

Lincoln, still surprised by the change of tone from Sam, added, "Y-Yeah, and besides, we're not going to distract you or anything, we'll just be there as emotional support!"

If Sam's ensuing furious glare was any indication, she didn't care.

"You're staying outside, and that's final!"

Without hesitation, Sam closed the door on the duo's faces, hitting their noses in the process. And as the guys rubbed their injured noses, Lincoln could see from inside Luna and Sam sitting next to each other, with Luna gesturing Lincoln and Clyde that she wasn't mad.

"Well, I guess this is as far as we can help Luna for now," Clyde remarked as Luna waved goodbye. "I mean, we could try to barge in, but after seeing Sam's sudden change, I don't think that's such a good idea."

"Well, at least Luna looks like she understands, even though it's clear she's worried about being left alone with Sam," Lincoln and Clyde returned the waving and then walked to the exit. "Okay, so the next thing on the schedule is Luan, who's at the clown school."

"Isn't that a couple miles away from here?" Clyde pointed out.

Realizing what that meant, the boys ran off to try and arrive to the clown school as quickly as possible.

Later, at the clown school of Royal Woods...

Lincoln and Clyde entered the school and ran to the auditorium as fast as they could, where they saw Luan and Giggles, both wearing clown outfits, waiting for Maggie to arrive, with the judge sitting nearby. There was also a peculiar sight among the empty seats, which was Silas, a goth boy Lucy used to have a crush on, sitting there, though he wasn't really noticed.

"Hi Lincoln! Hi Clyde!" Luan greeted as the guys reached the clown girls and caught their breath. "I'm really happy that you could come, Maggie should be here any minute now."

"Oh hey, you didn't greet us with a pun this time," Lincoln remarked.

"Of course, we need to save as many jokes as we can for Maggie!" Giggles replied, putting her hand on her hip. "After all, we didn't go all out the previous years, and we failed to make her laugh, but this year will be different!"

In that very moment, a certain someone kicked the door open, catching everybody's attention. This certain someone was none other than Maggie, who promptly walked towards the clown girls. When Lincoln saw her, another image flashed in his mind:

Someone who looked like Maggie was on the ground, trying to stand back up despite being quite badly bruised. Strangely, the Maggie lookalike was wearing clothing that reminded Lincoln of Colonel Crackers, Luan's old ventriloquist dummy, but colored black.

And just as the girl was engulfed by light, the vision suddenly ended, bringing Lincoln back to reality. However, he had no time to think about what to make out of the vision, so he just shrugged it off.

"Best of luck to you, Luan," Lincoln stated, giving his sister and her friend a thumbs up, with Clyde doing the same.

The girls returned the thumbs up just as Maggie

"Hi, Maggie, nice to see you again," Luan chirped, trying to keep her cool. "Now, how about we-"

Then, without warning, Maggie spoke:

"Luan, Giggles, I'm not in a very good mood right now, so I'm going to be blunt."

Maggie took a deep breath.

"Is there a point in trying to make me laugh anymore?"

The girls tried to answer, but they were stopped when Maggie immediately added afterwards:

"We've been through this for a couple of times now, in the past couple of years: You pick me to go to this place, I come to this place, suffer through your unfunny nonsense, and then I leave, with nobody being satisfied. The first time, I felt dissatisfied. The second time, I felt angry. This time, though? I feel..."

The emo looked at the ground somberly.

"I always felt like at least one of you-Luan-never cared about my feelings, but I figured you'd at least let me rest, let me free, let me try and forget I was ever a part of this nonsense."

"M-Maggie, you don't understand," Giggles replied, taking a step forward and earning an angry look from the teenager. "We came to this school because we wanted to learn how to make people smile. How to make them feel happy. And, seeing how you're so sad all the time, we thought we would be doing you a favor if we tried making you smile."

"Yeah, what Giggles is saying is true!" Luan added, earning an even anrgier look from Maggie. Though this look implied she was about to snap or something. "We wanted to see if our training had paid off because if we can make you smile with our sense of humor, then certainly we can make other people happy as well!"

"You! Are! Clowns!" the emo suddenly snapped, shedding tears as she continued to yell at the duo. "Your purpose in the world of entertainment is making people laugh at you, not with you! Nothing you do will make people laugh! Not jokes, not puns, nothing! The only way you, as a clown, can make people happy, is when you make yourself look like a laughingstock!"

The comedians gasped, with Luan looking like she was about to collapse in shock. But did Maggie stop there? Of course not.

"Nothing else you can try will make you seem funny. Only your misery will make people happy. Only when they see how much more miserable you are than them, will they start feeling better about themselves. Only your pain, your torment, your... Suffering..." the emo paused, almost as if she was hesitant to finish. And though she continued nonetheless, her tone and voice grew weaker and more quiet than usual. "Only by those things... Will you make people laugh... And even then... They won't see you and your comedy as being funny... They'll see your misery as being funny..."

Finally, Maggie turned back to Luan, and finished with a simple, bitter statement:

"Just like how you saw my misery!"

With that said and done, Maggie covered her face and ran out of the building while Giggles, clearly shaken by the emo's words, walked to Luan's side and comforted her, all while she looked like she was simply... speechless... prompting Lincoln to go to his sister's side.

"L-Luan, are you okay?!" the boy exclaimed with worry. "Do you need something?!"

"Maybe we could give her some space?" Clyde nervously suggested.

"Yes... Clyde's... Right..." Luan uttered, trying to stay standing. "I... I... I need... I need to take a breather... And I think you also need to go see Lynn's thing now?"

"Luan has a point," Clyde remarked as he snatched and showed the schedule. "According to your schedule, Lynn's game's about to start. Where is it taking place anyway?"

"It's at the stadium, which is very close to here," Lincoln sighed and turned back to Luan. "Okay, we're gonna go there and leave you two alone."

"Tell Lynn I say hi," Luan somberly requested.

The boys nodded, and promptly left the building, with Silas' eye briefly glowing grey as he watched the pair leave.

Back at the Loud house...

Lori sat on the couch, still with a look of contemplation, while grabbing her head in a way as if to hide her forehead. She looked at the ground, unsure of what to do next, when she was joined by Leni, who sat right next to her.

"Lori?" Leni blurted, catching the young woman's attention. "Is something the matter?"

Lori looked back and hesitated to answer.

"I, like, noticed that you've looked... contemplative, for quite a while," Leni added. "If there's something on your mind, then you can tell me about it. I mean, our siblings are busy doing their stuff, and mom and dad are off to work at... The dentist office and the restaurant, so you can't talk with anybody else."

After a couple more seconds wondering what she should do, Lori took a deep breath, stood up, and stated:

"They're going to find out the truth eventually."

Leni rubbed her forehead as Lori started to walk back and forth.

"That place, the progenitors, everything is going to be revealed one way or another, and guess who are the ones that have to start the chain reaction of revelations? Us!" Lori stopped and pulled her hair. "And worst of all, we don't know when we're going to have to tell them the truth, just that we'll have to do it eventually!"

"Lori, we've talked about this already," Leni stood up, put her hands on Lori's shoulders and made her look at her, face-to-face. "We'll reveal the truth whenever it needs to be revealed. And once we reveal them, we just need to guide our siblings into understand everything: The organization, the sisters, and specially."

Leni parted Lori's hair covering her forehead, revealing a rectangular birthmark in three segments: The first one was colored pink, the second one was colored light blue, and the final segment, looking like a circle, was orange.

"The castes."

Meanwhile, at the stadium...

Lincoln and Clyde reached the audience seats, and stopped to catch their breath, with barely a second passing before they heard somebody shout:

"Look out!"

Lincoln turned to look at the voice, and saw it came from Polly Pain. And then he turned to look elsewhere, and next thing he knew, he felt a sharp pain in his face before falling unconscious. By the time he woke up, a certain athlete was looming over him: Lynn, sporting a wide smile... And with orange thunderclouds covering the sky. However, blinking once made the clouds turn back to normal almost immediately.

"Hey, Linc!" the jock greeted, seemingly unaware or just not caring about her brother's confused look. "You came a bit late, but I'm glad you showed up at all."

"Uh, hi, Lynn, Luan says hi," Lincoln said as he grabbed his head. "What happened?"

"Polly Pain tried to warn us not to get too close, 'cause Lynn just did a homerun, and the ball hit you right in the face," Clyde explained as he and Polly Pain helped Lincoln get up. "Luckily, you don't seem to be that injured."

"And most importantly, the ball's perfectly fine!" Lynn chirped before showing the baseball to the guys. "Now I can put this ball with my collection of winning balls!"

"Dude, your brother just got hit by a baseball, and you're focusing on the stupid ball?!" Polly scolded, narrowing her eyes.

"This isn't a stupid ball, Polly," Lynn sternly replied. "it's a ball that symbolizes the victory my team had today!"

"It wasn't a team victory."

Everybody turned around and saw Margo walking towards Lynn, stern look on her face and arms folded behind her back.

"Uh, come again?" Lynn tilted her head.

"This wasn't a team victory," Margo repeated as she reached the athlete. "This was your victory. Get the terminology right."

"Bah, my victory, team victory, who cares? We won the game!" the athlete argued, making Margo narrow her eyes in annoyance. "Isn't that what matters in the end?! We all trained so hard for this thing-"

Polly promptly pointed out, "And you wound up hogging up all the spotlight."

"Well, being the star player does that to you, I suppose," Margo rolled her eyes, which glew red. "I should know, I was one once."

"Yeah, what Margo said: it's not my fault, I'm just doing what's expected of me as the star player!" Lynn replied, folding her arms. "Why would you care, anyway? It's not like you're part of my softball team."

"I care because you act like this regardless of sport!" Polly stated, stomping the ground furiously. "Softball, baseball, roller skating, I could name any sport I know about, and no matter what sport I picked, you'd be the same: Eager to show off, utterly selfish, and completely unable to accept either loss, or when you make mistakes."

"Ugh, again with this nonsense, when will you understand that nobody cares about that stuff?" Lynn said, waving her hand in a dismissive manner.

"And we don't have time either," Clyde said, checking the schedule again. "Lucy's thing is about to begin!"

"Dang it, I forgot I need to be at the poetry club, too!" Polly exclaimed, before quickly putting on her helmet and her roller skates. "Well, only one thing left to do. Grab my waist, boys!"

Lincoln and Clyde exchanged looks, then promptly grabbed Polly's waist, with the girl bolting off to the poetry club right away, leaving behind a surprised Lynn and Margo.

Moments later, at the poetry club...

The patrons, almost solely consisting of goths and what not, waited on their tables for the entertainment to come up. What was this entertainment? A simple duet known as Polly Pain and Tabby, though only the latter was in the building at the moment, playing her saxophone.

She was joined by two other figures, Lucy, Lincoln's gothic sister, and Haiku, Lucy's friend. The normally calm and montone Haiku looked worried and stressed, while holding a clipboard on her hands.

"Where's Polly Pain!?" Haiku asked in a panic. "It's been 15 minutes and there's still no sign of her! And worst of all, you're just wasting your time on sax instead of looking for her!"

"The patrons are starting to get impatient for their obligatory inspiration music," Lucy pointed out. "Which just so happens to be a mix of saxophone with drums, who knew?"

"Relax, Haiku," Tabby replied, rolling her eyes. "Just be patient, Polly will be here soon enough."

"I hope so, because Polly and you should've started a while ago!" Haiku stated, biting her nails as she paced back and forth. "Without your music, the poets can't focus on trying to get ideas for their poems or their stories. I heard that one poet needed your music so badly, he had to wait months before continuing his story about a boy traumatized after being beaten up by his sisters!"

"Relax, Haiku. Geez, you're quite a worrywart sometimes," Tabby rolled her eyes and brushed the goth's hair. "Knowing Polly, she got caught up watching a sports festival or something. Trust me, she's going to come any minute now."

Then the rocker pointed at the door and counted, "In fact, I bet she's going to crash through the door in 5... 4... 3.. 2... 1..."

Tabby gave the door the pointer finger, and waited for a couple seconds for Polly to arrive. For the first five or so, it looked like she wasn't going to appear, but then, without warning, Polly crashed through the door, stopping just before crashing into Tabby, Lucy, and Haiku, with Lincoln and Clyde just barely managing not to let go and be sent flying away.

"Okay, I was a bit off, but she still did arrive," Tabby shrugged. "What took you so long?"

Polly released the guys as she explained, "I had to stay behind to see Margo play in Lynn's softball match-"

"Nice, but we can't muck about right now, so save the rest for later," Tabby extended her hand towards Polly. "Ready to play some music?"

Polly nodded and smiled before shaking hands with the rocker, prompting Lincoln, Clyde, Haiku, and Lucy to go sit at a table. Once they sat down, Polly went to her drums and started beating them, before being joined by Tabby's slick, flowy saxophone music. And judging from the patrons actually putting up smiles, they were quite pleased by the music.

"Thanks for bringing Polly here, Lincoln," Lucy said with a little smile. "I was starting to think Haiku would get a panic attack before she appeared."

"No problem, at least you get to enjoy the music now," Lincoln checked his schedule. "Clyde and I, meanwhile, have to go see Lana at the dogcare center."

"I understand," Lucy nodded. "See ya later."

Lincoln and Clyde soon got up, and after Clyde blew kisses at Haiku-with the poet doing the same-the boys bolted out of the club while Lucy and Haiku listened blissfully to Polly and Tabby's melody.

Just then, back at the Loud house...

Lori and Leni immediately stood up when they heard the vanzilla returning to the garage. The duo bolted from the living room to the garage as fast as they could, tripping into something in the process. This something was Lisa, who looked rather upset for some reason.

"Watch where you're going, eldest sister units!" the prodigy snapped as she got up and dusted herself. "It's bad enough my only friend rejected my proposal, but you could've seriously injured me just then! Now if you excuse me, I must begin a study on how much a pillow can absorb tears before it grows moist."

Lisa stomped her way to her and Lily's bedroom, and Lori and Leni got up and dusted themselves just as their worried parents arrived at the scene.

"Like, what's up with her?" Leni inquired worriedly.

"Oh, we just came back from Darcy's house," Lynn Sr. explained. "She's the first friend Lisa's ever gotten, and after she refused to help her with her "giant robot" plans, she... became really angry about it."

"Speaking of odd stuff like giant robots, there's something that Lori would like to ask you," Leni blurted, putting a hand on her older sister's shoulder.

The eldest Loud tilted her head. "I do?"

Leni nodded, and Lori could feel chills go up her spine as she realized what this certain something was. So, the young woman took a deep breath, and asked:

"So, you guys know that there's a lot of things we'll have to reveal to our siblings someday. Have you been able to figure out when that day's coming, so we can prepare ourselves?"

The parents exchanged worried looks, but before Lynn Sr. could try to answer, Rita gestured him to shut up and took a step forward before giving her answer:

"I'm afraid that day's today, sweetheart."

Lori and Leni's entire world shattered to pieces.

"We've been called to go work for an extended period of time, potentially a month, in order to be able to... well, do important stuff you already know about," Rita added. "When we were told about this, our bosses told us that there's no more time to wait, our kids needs to know about their true natures... because..."

The woman hesitated to finish, prompting Lynn Sr. to do so instead:

"The progenitors are coming."

Back with Lincoln and Clyde...

The boys ran as fast as they could to the dogcare center, having already lost too much time with the other events. As they ran, however, Lincoln took the time to speak to Clyde:

"So, can I tell you something that's been bothering me today?"

Clyde asked, "The fact that we've failed to follow the schedule up until now?"

"Yeah, that too," Lincoln rolled his eyes. "But no, a couple times, I saw some weird visions."

Clyde raised an eyebrow. "Well, what did you see?"

Lincoln took a deep breath and explained to the best of his ability:

"Okay, first, when I saw Maggie, I saw someone who looked like her, but wearing Colonel Crackers' clothes. Then, when I woke up at the stadium, the clouds were orange for a split second."

Clyde hummed. "Maybe you're getting visions of a past life or something?"

"Maybe, but still-"

Lana narrowed her eyes. "Is there a problem with that?"

The boys stopped right on their tracks and looked at the situation outside the dogcare center: Lana was having a heated argument with a familiar toddler, Claire, with Lola nearby, holding a large trophy while she looked at the discussion with indifference.

"No, you have your opinion on animals, and you just so happen to like reptiles more than other animals," Claire explained, looking away as she added, "But you know, some people say that the type of animal people like can sometimes say a lot about the type of person they are, and you know how reptiles are seen as venomous, treacherous, and many other negative words."

Suddenly realizing what the toddler was trying to say, Lana frowned and snapped, "I'm not a backstabber or something like that! I'm a nice person!"

With a stern glare, and eyes glowing dark blue, Claire bluntly answered:

"Telling me does nothing to change my mind."

"Um, did we get here at a bad time?" Lincoln remarked, catching the girls' attention. "I mean, I'm sure we arrived late, Lola's here with her trophy after all, but-"

"No, you came just at the right time," Lola answered as Lana exchanged furious glares with Claire. "Lana got into an argument with this toddler named Claire, I think she came to our house sometime ago, but they got into an argument and it seems to be going rather badly."

Lana turned to spot Lincoln, then sent one last glare at Claire before stating, "I gotta go, my brother came up for me "

Claire just rolled her eyes and left without even answering back, further upsetting the tomboy plumber as she walked to her brother. Once she was right next to Lola, she hissed, "Don't ask."

"We won't, don't worry," Clyde replied. "Now, why's Lola here? Wasn't she going to be at a beauty pageant?"

"I did go to one of those, and it was supposed to last longer, but Lindsey Sweetwater, my old rival, didn't show up," the diva smugly explained. "What normally would've been a bit of a pain in my bum with her in it, turned into a cakewalk without her to hinder my efforts, and I won the pageant without even trying!"

"Lindsey didn't come?" Lincoln asked, earning a nod from his diva of a sister. "Why?"

"I dunno, but who cares? At least this earned me a great victory!" Lola proudfully stated. "The other girls are nothing compared to Lindsey or me. Mostly me."

"Ugh, please save your boasting for when we're back home, alright?" Lana complained, folding her arms. "Come on, let's go back home so I can be away from Lola when she start blabbing about her day."

The boys, not seeing anything else they had to take care of, just shrugged and started walking back to the Loud house with the twins. That is, until a particular voice called:

"Hey, Lame-O!"

Once everybody heard that, they turned around and were left shocked at the sight of a certain someone running towards the white-haired guy:

"Ronnie Anne?!"

-Next Chapter Preview-

"Hey everybody, Lincoln here!"

As Lincoln said the next, a piece of a scene with him and Ronnie Anne talking and meeting once more played:

"Man, today's been crazy, first Ronnie Anne's back,"

It then cut to a scene of Luna-alongside Lynn, Luan, and Lucy, all sitting on the ground-speaking with Lincoln.

"And now Lori and Leni have something to tell me."

The scene changed once more, showing Lori and Leni speaking with Lincoln at the kitchen.

"Or more accurately, something to tell us."

Next the scene showed a nervous Lori and a calmer Leni standing in front of their siblings, the former seemingly getting ready to speak.

"I wonder what they have to say?"

Then, as Lincoln said the next, Lori whispered something to Leni:

"Next time, on Chains of Reality: Divinity Reborn..."

As Lincoln spoke the next chapter's name, the scene changed to show Lori explaining something to the sisters, who all listened intently. And of course, Lincoln seemed to be the most interest on what she was saying out of all of them.

"Lori and Leni's Revelation! Can We Believe Such Harsh, Yet Baffling Truth?!"

Then the scene changed to show Ronnie, Clyde, Lily, and Lincoln-holding Bun-Bun on his arms-sitting on the backyard grass, with Ronnie seemingly making fun of the fact. If Lincoln speaking normally and hugging the plush bunny afterwards was any indication, though, it didn't faze him.

"Don't miss it!"

Ronnie looked away from the boy, and Lynn made a slide remark that made the other sisters laugh... until the scene showed someone watching from the skies.
