Something I'm surprised no one else have thought of before. I mean with the white hair and all, I was really expecting to see some Loud House and Devil May Cry stories, I've seen a few fan art but never an actual story, so I figured what the hell? Might as well do one myself, so here it is ladies and gentlemen. Now, I've put some level of thought into this so I'm hoping you voice what you think of it, any suggestions on how to make it better will be appreciated either in your reviews or by sending me a PM.

I don't own Loud House or the Devil May Cry series.

The Royal Woods Police Department was hardly a busy place, due to the fact that they operate in a relatively quiet town, there's hardly any major crime committed in their neck of the woods, the only things they ever have do deal with is someone forgetting to pick up their dog's excrement and the occasional burglar. However, in the recent months, things have been more busy than they usually are, it all started some time ago when a missing person was reported and the police searched high and low for any sign of the citizen who just up and disappeared without a trace, it was a lengthy search, but unfortunately, there were no results in finding him. Some have given up, while others still try to look, wanting to find any hope in finding the lost child, one of those people happened to be making a visit to the police station, wanting to see if anything new has come up, but his hopes were smashed.

"Look, I'm sorry Mr. Loud, but like I told you the last time you came here, we couldn't find any sign of your son." a police cop somberly told the adult male in front of him. This man was none other than Lynn Loud Sr., father of 11, or at least formerly 11, that number has since reduced to 10.

He looked like a sad mess, his face expressed a depressed and heartbroken look that gave the impression that he hasn't smiled in a ling time. When he arrived at the station minutes earlier, he was praying to God and all other things that the cops had managed to find the offspring of which he lost. "You can't be serious." he pleadingly said. "After all this time, you still haven't managed to find even a single trace of him?" he pressed. "Not a hair? Not a sight, or anything?"

The cop sighed and shook his head. "It's the same as before, nothing at all." he told him. "Besides, we've already gone over this time and time again, the search for Lincoln Loud was called off after 10 days of searching. We had some of our best people on the job, we worked around the clock, put a lot of energy into finding him, and spent long hours going through every part of this town, but we just can't find him." he remorsefully finished. "I'm-I'm sorry."

Lynn Sr. hung his head with a dejected look. Another dead end, just like before. Knowing that his presence was no longer required in the station, he turned to leave the building with the officer looking at the man with a sympathetic look, one of his friends walked up with a coffee mug. "Poor guy, can only imagine how his family's doing, huh Will."

"Not so good, I'd wager, Jake." the first cop. "Can understand why he wants to know so much, if it were my kid, I would give anything to get him back." he turned to Jake. "Well with that out of the way, any leads on our mystery night shooter?" he asked.

Jake shook his head in response. "Sorry buddy, but it's another mystery. We got the same reports but when we got there, we couldn't find even a damn mouse stirring."

For the past few months, the police have been getting numerous calls about hearing some sounds of someone shooting along with what sounded some kind if animals howling in the night. That and in some areas of the city, a lot of damage was done, it looked as of there was a warzone that took place and that unnerved them. Similar to the whole missing child situation, they haven't had much success in trying to find any evidence to the identity of the shooter or the source of where the animal noises were coming from, sometimes it seems like they were lacking in solving any bizarre mysteries happening around this town.


Lynn Sr. didn't enjoy the drive home at all. He was afraid, afraid on what to tell his family that once again, the mission in finding where their missing boy is has come up with another failure, he can already imagine the heartbroken looks from his wife and daughters. As he drove, he started to recant on how this whole situation began in the first place, it all started one seemingly ordinary day in the Loud House, everyone was up to their usual hobbies and activities and all was right in the world, at least form one's perspective. But then came the notice that Lincoln Loud, the only son and brother of the Loud clan was nowhere to be seen, they at first thought that he was either hanging out with his best friend or at the arcade or buying a new comic book, but after long hours, they started to get worried. His third oldest child, Luna went into his small room and found that some things were missing, a few clothes were gone, as was his backpack and his beloved stuffed bunny toy, Bun-Bun, but there was one thing she did find that was of particular interest, there was a letter on his bed addressed to his whole family.

The contents inside the aforementioned letter leaved them all to tears, it was a goodbye letter that Lincoln wrote, a very well thought out one as it was obvious that he poured out a lot of emotion into writing it. It held details of occurrences at the house that some would rather like to forget about, events that stung Lincoln so hard that he couldn't take it anymore and decided to run, run and never come back. One such event was when Lori and Leni fought over the same blue dress that they purchased, the sisters initiated the Sister Fight Protocol, a plan that was flawed due to the fact that they failed to include Lincoln leading him to accidentally (accident, not intentional) cause more fights. In his sister's words, he causes all the fights and the only way for them to be resolve is if he just leaves. Unknown to them, this made him feel little of himself but hid it well.

Another incident was a very recent when the poor ash haired boy was accused by his petty sister Lynn Jr. of being bad luck when she foolishly believed that his very presence caused her to a lose a softball game, this lead to him coming up with a lie that he was a bad luck charm that everyone bought, unfortunately, it worked too well for he began to be alienated from all family event. Perhaps what really crossed the line was that he was locked of out of his own home, the only way to make them reconsider was to secretly attend another game while wearing a squirrel mascot suit. He succeeded in convincing his family that he wasn't bad luck but then they thought he was only good luck when he wore the suit. In the following weeks that's how they treated him noting but a good luck charm instead of a human being, this along with all the other times he's been horribly mistreated by his sisters caused him to snap and leave, possibly forever.

Now the family were left guilty, sad, angry, etc.

Looking back, the senior patriarch of the Louds berated himself for once again putting a material or otherwise insignificant object over his own family, one time was when he cared more about that new van he bought, that he affectionately called Veronica. He and his wife also berated themselves for callously locking him out of the house and making him sleep inside, an action that has a lot of legal ramifications. He learned his lesson with the van, but he sure as hell didn't learn his lesson during the whole bad luck fiasco. He wondered if it were his own fault, that he wasn't as close to Lincoln as he hoped, despite being the only boys in the Loud House, he always found himself having more in common with most of his daughters than him.

Then again, maybe it had something to do with the...secret.

"Oh god..." Lynn Sr. covered his mouth as he threw up a little in his mouth. Every time he thought about it, it always made him sick to his stomach, he and Rita, his wife, would always make sure that no one, especially not Lincoln would ever find out, less he wants his and his wife's relationship with their only son to forever be strained. Damn it, he was still his father, he raised him, nurtured him, why couldn't he have prevented this from happening. He saw his house come into view and as drove up the driveway and stepped out of the vehicle, he prepared himself to bring the bad news. Going into house, he saw his wife sitting on the couch with a tentative look.

She stood up as soon as she heard her husband enter. "Honey, did they find him?" Desperation was evident in her voice, it was the voice of a mother praying for a miracle to happen.

Lynn Sr. looked away, ashamed that he had to tell her this, but he had to. Saddened, he shook his head. "I'm sorry Rita, but they gave me the same answer as before. He's still lost."

Rita could only out her hands to her mouth to suppress a sob coming on, fresh tears started to form in her eyes, and her husband quickly moved to hug her comfortingly, she sat back on the couch, the living room was filled with her sobs. "Where is he?" she choked out. "Where's my baby boy? How come no one's found him yet?"

"I don't know honey, I don't know." the husband then heard footsteps from upstairs. "Oh no." he groaned, knowing what would come next. Soon enough, all 10 of his daughters were downstairs, one of them must have seen him arrive and went to tell the others, each of them were just as hopeful as Rita was, wanting their dad to tell them that their brother was coming home.

"Dad?" Leni asked, holding her hands together in a prayer-like fashion. "Is...Is Lincoln...?"

The hardest parts of being a father was telling your kids no when they wanted to hear a yes. "Girls, I'm sorry, but he's still missing." he couldn't bare to see their heartbroken looks of sadness and grief. "Look, why don't you all just have some times to yourselves, your mother and I need some alone time. Call if you need anything." he guided his distraught wife to follow them to their shared bedroom.

The sisters walked back up, having a silent agreement to meet in Lori and Leni's room, where they always have their meetings.

Four months.

Four freaking months.

Hard to believe it's been that long since they've seen their wayward brother. His disappearance has affected them all in similar and different ways that made them all feel a huge amount of guilt.

Lori Loud, the first born of the siblings, when it came to her relationship with her only brother, one could say that it was the stereotypical relationship between an older sister and little brother. As the oldest of the siblings, Lori was in nature, the bossiest to all her younger siblings, especially to Lincoln. Shamefully, she admitted that she sometimes puts herself over his wellbeing such as caring more about her social status and her boyfriend. Though there are times that Lori acts considerably harsh to him, that didn't mean she had no love for him, in fact it was quite the opposite. Despite their differences, she truly did love Lincoln, similar to how a mother would love her son, she worries for him whenever he's hurt, provide advice to him whenever he asks and when you think about it, they both relate to each other in their shared stress over being surrounded by so many siblings. He also is wiling to do nice things for her such as taking over her shift at Gus' Games N Grub so that she could attend a high school dance. Him being gone for so long made her realize that she should have tried to be a better sister especially during the whole family brawl thing and of course, the accursed bad luck, now she's been miserable hoping her baby bro was okay.

Leni Loud, the family's second child, it was a known fact to everyone besides herself that she wasn't exactly the brightest teenager in Royal Woods, but she does know a thing or two about fashion and another admirable quality was her capacity for love, especially for her family members, considerably Lincoln. She adored her little brother, ever since he was a baby, she loved hugging him, giving him kisses on the cheek, and using him as a male model with his permission of course, and he was just as sweet to her in return. The only times she actually treated him bad is when she couldn't help but join in on the sisters either teasing him or kicking him out of the house, something she was truly starting to regret because it made her brother leave her and the others. She has since been a crying mess most of the time, completely worried for him, hoping that he's still alive, somewhere.

Luna Loud, rock and roll music lover and perhaps the closest to Lincoln, she always loved her little bro, in her mind, there was nothing that could ever deny that fact. She still fondly remembers being the first of her sisters to hold him when he was still a newborn baby, and sung him lullabies whenever he cried in the middle of the night, and he loved her just as much, always appreciating her looking out for him and being there whenever he was in a mess, one memory they like to share was when she helped make his first concert memorable. But now her bro was gone, somewhere out there in the cold harsh world with no one to protect him. She was the one who found his goodbye letter and became angry at herself and her family for treating him so bad at times, she knew that can be a hardcase like when she started to act unfair to them when they decided to form a family band for the Family Fun Fair due to her idol Mick Swagger making a special appearance, but she got over that but other instances like blasting him out of her room with her speakers was a bit harsh along with the whole squirrel thing. Now with Lincoln missing, all she could do was ask herself: Did she really love him?

Luan Loud, self proclaimed comedy genius and all around prankster couldn't find any way to bring some levity to the Loud House, for this was a problem that laughs couldn't possibly fix. She knew that her pranks weren't exactly light hearted, they often cause bodily harm to her family and she never really shows any remorse or even offers an apology, something Lincoln pointed out in his letter, along with using Ronnie Anne to prank him, exposing Lana to something she was allergic to, shaving Lori's eyebrows off, etc. Luan has since ignored calls for her own comedy act, Funny Business, she had lost her drive to make people laugh, as she lost the person she enjoyed bringing a smile to, the comedian loved her brother like any sister should, but unknown to her, she seemed to have convince him otherwise.

Lynn Loud Jr., whether some would like to believe it or not, her younger brother missing struck her pretty hard, she didn't want to admit because she was too stubborn, but it did. Her and Lincoln's relationship was for lack of a better word, complex to say the least, as a jock she has a tendency to go a little overboard when she wants him to train with her, not only that but she sometimes acts a bit of a jerk to him too for not being as sporty as her despite being the only boy in the house. She did love him, but her hard headedness sometimes makes her tease him from time to time and doesn't realize it until it's too late, like right now. She remembered how she accused blamed him for losing a softball game and calling him bad luck, funny how that would cause him to get the silly idea to spread the rumor and be alienated as a result. She blamed herself, she liked to think of herself as his protector from any bullies but doesn't know that sometimes act like one herself.

Lucy Loud, one of the younger sisters of the Louds, as a girl who is all about things goth and emo related, the young girl isn't prone to show any kind of emotion whatsoever. But inside, she was always quite fond of her big brother Lincoln, he would always help her out with figuring out lines for all the countless poems she's so active in creating, in fact he was the only one of her siblings to offer to help at all, and she is quite grateful for that, he knows his way around rhymes like her. One thing she could never forget was how Lincoln took the fall for her when he found out that it was her who clogged the toilet with Princess Pony comics, he sacrificed going to an Ace Savvy Convention so that she wouldn't face the ridicule and constant teasing of their sisters and she is forever in his debt. But with him gone, she realized that while he was so nice she wasn't exactly any better to him, otherwise he wouldn't have left. Now she prays to the dark spirits to bring him home.

Lana and Lola Loud, the twins in all but personality, the two of them have always been at each other's throats since forever due to their polar opposite personalities with their brother having to be the one to break them up before things got really ugly. Lana and Lincoln got along pretty well, he didn't mind her rowdy nature and she truly does love him, but even she knew that boarding up his room was a bit much along with kicking him out. Now she missed her big brother same with her twin and would do anything to tell him how sorry she is. She would stay up late when she had the chance and prayed for his safety and for him to come home and be a family again.

Lola was always too proud to admit her faults, she thought of herself as being too perfect to be anything bad, so naturally she thought Lincoln was overreacting when he left, thinking after a few hours he'd come crawling back to them but those hours turned into days, those days, turned into weeks, and finally the weeks turned into months. She started blaming the others except for herself but soon started to learn that maybe she's to blame as well, she knew that she is a chronic tattletale, telling on her siblings but promising not to by blackmailing them, and of course she has a reputation for terrorizing them to get what she wants. When it came Lincoln, she did love him, he always coached her for pageants and replaced her yearbook photo with a better one and cried when she knew that the chances of him returning were slim.

Lisa Loud, similar to her older sister Lucy, the young prodigy genius was never really one to show any form of emotions such as happiness, anger, sadness, etc. In this one single instance, she did allow her emotions to fuel her, as smart and surprisingly responsible for a girl her age, she was still only a toddler and they are full of emotions. She saw Lincoln's running away as him just blowing off some steam in layman's terms, she was convinced that by the next morning he would have returned home, but no, he never came back. For the first time in the prodigy's life, it seemed as if she was actually wrong about her assumption and now shared on her family's turmoil.

Baby Lily Loud was just that, a baby. She had no idea why her mommy, daddy, and big sisters were so sad, she didn't know why daddy kept going to the police station, why mommy never stopped crying, and why her sisters were so melancholy. Something was going through her mind, where was Linky? He didn't tuck her in like he always does. In fact, every time she went in his room, she found no trace of him anywhere, nit even around the house and she was starting to get scared. In tears, she asked mommy and daddy where her big brother was, but all they told her was that he was gone. What did that mean? Gone where? He was gonna come back though, right?

Right?

They all went inside Lori and Leni's shared bedroom and sat in attention at the eldest. "Okay guys, today marks another day that..." Lori gulped. "...that Lincoln is still missing. Now, we know the drill, we just wait it out a little more, and hopefully, the police will find them."

"Hopefully?" Luna repeated with a scoff. "What, you actually want our bro to be found? Yeah, right."

All the sisters went silent as they turned to Luna, the atmosphere suddenly shifted into one full of tension. Lori was taken back at what her younger sister just said, the way she said it was full of contempt and venom. "I'm sorry, but what was that, Luna?" the blonde folded her arms.

"Just calling it how it is." Luna shrugged with a nonchalant look. "I mean, he's gone. You know, the brother you threatened to turn into a pretzel just for being inside your room, the brother you treat as a foot stool. Bet your happy now that one of your twerpy siblings is gone forever. You must be so happy." she glared daggers at her eldest sister.

Leni looked back and forth between her sisters and tried to diffuse the situation. "Girls, maybe we should-"

"Is that what you really think?" Lori demanded. "I'm worried about him just as much as you are!" she proclaimed. "In case you've forgotten, you're not his only sister!"

"Yeah, but sometimes I think I'm the only one who actually ever gave a damn about him!" Leni covered Lily's ears so that she wouldn't hear the D-Word. "This never would have happened if you actually tried to be a better older sister to him, Lori! And don't even get me started on little Miss Sporty over here." the rocker snet a dirty look to the jock of the family.

Instinctively, the junior Lynn puts her arms up in defense. "Woah, woah, woah. Since when are we suddenly talking about me?"

"Actually, she has a point Lynn." her gothic sister/roommate spoke up. "Have you forgotten how you branded our dear brother as some bad luck charm? Blaming him for your loss at one of your games. I can only imagine how happy you are that the source of bad luck in the family is no longer with us, you must be so overjoyed." she muttered darkly.

Lynn gritted her teeth in anger. "Don't even go there Luce!" she scowled. "You know I don't want to be reminded of that! And besides, as if you're so innocent, you, them, mom and dad you all just agreed with me so quickly!" she yelled at all of them making them flinch. "If you cared so much about him Luna, then how come you didn't try to help him, huh?!" her answer was only silence. "Yeah, that's what I thought, so no one better judge me for what happened, or else!" she threatened.

"Oh else what, you're gonna start calling us bad luck too?" Lola scowled.

"You know Lola, maybe you should tell on her a little." her twin Lana glared. "While you're at it, maybe you should get someone to board her up in her room, because that worked out so well last time."

The little bratty princess glared back. "Last I checked, you were okay with the idea!"

"Siblings please, petty disputes won't help in our current situation." Lisa tried to reason with them, to no avail.

Luan rolled her eyes. "Right, because you have such a way with words." she said. referring to how she callously told Lincoln that him not being in the house is the only way for them to solve their problems.

Lisa cleared her throat. "I admit, I should have chosen less offensive wordings, but then again, I don't mercilessly prank my own family, now do I Luan?" she retorted.

"Guys please stop!" Leni cried out before things got out of hand. "Let's not fight, it's one of the reasons Linky ran away!"

For once, Leni was actually right. Fighting one another will only make efforts in finding Lincoln futile, so an uneasy silence filled the meeting as no one else knew what to say, it's obvious that the sisters' relationship with each other has been greatly strained, they blamed themselves and each other for all of this and no protocol can make it better.

"You know what? Screw this, I'm going out." Luna abruptly left the room with a huff.

"I'm off too." Lynn said as she too left. Knowing that there was nothing left to discuss, each of the sisters left the room, leaving only Lori and Leni.

"Lori." said young woman turned to her fellow blonde. "Linky's coming back, right?"

The oldest child could only sigh and turn away so that her younger sister wouldn't see the tears. "I don't know."

The Loud family aren't the only ones, all of Lincoln's friends and classmates were worried about him, people like Clyde, Rusty, Liam, and Zach had been doing their own searches for their friend. His teachers promised the parents that if they see Lincoln they would immediately call them, same with Lori's friends from school. They've grown quite fond of the boy and hoped that he was okay, for now they just have to wait and see what happens.

If only they knew.


Night had finally fallen over Royal Woods. The streets were empty, completely devoid of anyone, save for one person; out in the middle of the street, a lone small child like figure was calmly walking, he was wearing a long red coat that had a hood which concealed his face from view, his hands were covered in black fingerless gloves, under the coat was a gray shirt, and down below were a pair of black pants and boots. Finally, around his neck was a necklace with red pendant. The young child was used to taking evening strolls, not caring at all about how late it is, in fact he liked it. As he walked, he heard the faint sound of footsteps coming from behind him, he turned around but didn't find anyone. Shrugging, he continued his stroll, unaware of a living shadow following him.

Red, ominous eyes were seen and it rose from its hiding place. Whatever it was, it was hidden by a black cloak, he hovered after the seemingly unsuspecting boy and reached its hand out to grab him. But then, the boy turned reaching into his back, he pulled out a customized black gun that resembled an M1911. "What's up?" the boy greeted casually, with one pull of the trigger, a series of what looked like an unlimited supply of bullets fired and struck the cloaked figure rapidly. After a moment's silence the boy stopped firing and watched as the figure fell back. He inspected and saw that there wasn't any blodd.

But then, the supposed dead body began to tremble, the boy backed up as a horrifying transformation took place. A clawed hand sprouted from the chest of the cloaked being and it let out a bloodcurdling scream. From the human husk, a malicious creature emerged, it's skin was completely gray and had black soulless eyes, the hands were extended into long and sharp claws.

Despite this, the boy remained unfazed. "Thought, I smelled something shitty. Where do you get off, stalking a kid? You must be some kind of freak."

"You little insect!" the creature growled with a furious stare. "How, you were able to detect me?!" it demanded.

Chuckling, the boy moved to remove his hood and revealed his identity, he had freckles on his face and his head was as white as the snow. This was none other than Lincoln Loud, lost son and brother of the Loud family. He had a taunting smirk as he faced the demonic creature. "Trust me, I've gotten used to smelling you demons from a mile away. So, you gonna crawl back into whatever disgusting hellhole you came from, or are you gonna be an idiot and stick around.

"Empty threats won't frighten me, you fucking abomination." the ghoul retorted and snickered evilly. "And you underestimate me boy, for I am not alone!" at that statement, hands emerged from deep in the ground and more of his kind revealed themselves and circled around the lone boy who sighed in irritation.

"Here I thought it would be a quiet evening." Lincoln pulled a second gun that resembled his other one, only its color was white. Brandishing his two guns, he fired at all directions, some of them went down, but others were made of tougher stuff than he thought. Some were able to land a few slashes at his back, spilling his blood but the boy was undeterred. He jumped to a very impressive height and flipped over, firing down bullets. Landing down, he saw that there was only one left. "Time for some Rebellion." he concentrated hard and from his back, a large claymore like sword appeared out of nowhere. It's most prominent feature was the skull whose mouth was closed. Grabbing it by the handle, Lincoln pulled the sword out and he made a fast dash at the demon and gave it a powerful slash that sent it flying jumping again he made more slashes that further injured the monster. Lincoln delivered a powerful kick that sent the demon down and it couldn't react fast enough to dodge Lincoln brining Rebellion down on him, cleaving it in half.

With his work done, Lincoln's sword disappeared and he was free to go about his business. He then saw a car come into view, once it stopped a man exited, he was middle aged with greying blonde hair and moustache. His passenger in his car was a young woman in her late teens with a pale complexion and green-grey eyes, she was wearing a blue hoodie with an orange body, denim shorts and boots. She ran to Lincoln frantically and looked over him.

"Lincoln, are you okay?!" she asked in hysterics as she looked for any injuries.

The white haired boy groaned. "Kat." he blushed a little in embarrassment. He looked to the adult man. "What the hell took you so long, Morrison?"

The man now known as Morrison shrugged nonchalantly. "Stopped to pick up some pizza, the place is open 24 hours so it was easy."

Lincoln narrowed his eyes. "No olives, right?"

Morrison rolled his eyes with an amused chuckle. "No, there aren't any olives." he looked at the corpses of the demons with an impressed whistle. "Damn kid, you're getting good at the demon killing game."

"You're lucky they didn't pull you into Limbo." Kat said with urgency.

Lincoln yawned. "Let's go back to the place. I'm hungry and tired." the three of them went inside Morrison's car and drove off, unaware of one single demon clinging to a tiny sliver of life, it and its brothers tried so hard to kill the boy, but he was too strong.

It watched as the car disappeared from view. "Damn you...son of Sparda..." it rasped out before finally dying.


WELCOME TO ROYAL WODDS

Those letters were on the sign as a person walked aimlessly tot he town just up ahead. He's travelled far to get here and he can feel him getting close to his goal, after all these years he will finally meet him. Soon, this world will tremble in the might of his power, along with the person he is searching for, the wind blew against his long silver buttoned blue coat that was open. It hid his weapon from sight and he clutched his necklace with a blue pendant. "I will see you soon...brother."


Tell me what you think!
