Hi everyone let's just keep this short, and recap what's happened in the last chapter. Lincoln wakes up in the FHG base and is being guarded by Luan, After goading her by bringing up how Lily's death was her fault she breaks his chambers glass and lets him free, and they fight, Lincoln wins and escapes into the vents and hides from the others, he discovers Lily's tomb and finds the exit to the base, he gets home and finds out an Anti-FHG protest will be going on tomorrow and he gets a plan, but Luan makes it her mission to find out who Smoke is and will kill him when she does. Got it? Good. Onto the story!
Lincoln was awoken by an alarm and saw the date and time "Sunday, 11:00 AM" he thought. He knew he only had 1 hour to get ready for the protest and execute another one of his plans. He got his costume and put it in his backpack, and went out of his room and down the stairs. His sisters were watching the season finale of dreamboat and were too invested to notice their brother leaving. Seeing he was in the clear Lincoln made a mad dash to the town square.
Back in the house after seeing who was picked as the girls new partner each sister had a mixed reaction. They were eventually arguing with each other and got into a fight with each other. But Lori remembered something and need to tell the girls of its urgency. "Stop!" She yelled everyone started to pay attention to their big sister, and she continued. "Girls remember! That protest is happening today!" Everyone started to remembered and immediately turned the channel to its coverage. Leni was as usual, confused "Why are they protesting against us? We help them, everyday." Luna consoled Leni "Because they're idiots Leni, we're doing the right thing." Leni cheered up thinking that her family would always be doing he best things for her. She was right except for one teen.
Lincoln teleported from each rooftop and stopped on one that was a few yards away from the stage. There, he took off his backpack and left it on the roof for later. He walked to the stage and went behind the curtain and saw the organizer for the protest. He recognized him, his name was Myles Patterson, a former senator candidate from Detroit who retired in the town of Royal Woods. Walking up to the man he tapped him to get his attention. "What?" He said he then examined the teen and gave a smile "Now isn't that cute? A boy with some white hair." Lincoln rolled his eyes and decided to speak up to the old man.
"No sir, I'm here for the protest, I have important info about the Full House Gang and feel that I should speak." Myles immediately got serious and put his hand on the boys shoulder "We would love to have someone with that much information speak." Lincoln was confused, he thought it would be a lot harder for him to be able to speak as he assumed that the time slots were full. Myles could tell what Lincoln was thinking and explained "Yeah we did have 20 speakers ready but 12 of them cancelled talking about fearing for their safety."
Lincoln was appalled to hear this, did his sisters really intend to threaten those that opposed them. Lincoln just thought that the Full House Gang was just being overprotective of the city but now he thought of them as more of a tyranny controlling the citizens of Royal Woods. Lincoln didn't want to do it but he had to teach them a much better lesson. As he reflected he remembered why he first started going after his sisters: revenge for what Lori had did to him his first night as a crime fighter. He now knew what his true purpose was.
Lincoln thanked Myles and sat behind the stage spectating the other speakers until it was his turn. Most he didn't recognize but a few he may have seen around town. He then noticed the crowd, he must've thought that only 1000 would show up to this protest but he was dead wrong. He saw at least 25000 in the crowd and that was just only from the parts he could see️! The citizens of Royal Woods were in unrest due to their protectors. Lincoln pondered how his sisters would react at seeing all this.
Back at the Loud House the sisters all looked at the television with mixed emotions and different ideas on how to handle this protest. "I say we teach them all a lesson!" Lynn spat "No you fool! That'll make things worse!" Lisa retorted. Luan countered Lisa "No I say we give them what they want!" They all started bickering until a traditional fight broke out between the 8 sisters until Lori getting fed up threw everyone out of the pile and started yelling. "Listen you idiots! This town is tearing apart due to a bunch of morons, thinking we're to dangerous and we are a tyranny! Fighting isn't going to help us one bit! So why don't you-" Lori was cut off when she took a glance at the TV and had to check again after seeing something strange.
After she checked she moved towards the TV and dropped to her knees making the sisters concerned. "Lori what is it?" Lana asked her. Lori gave no response which caused the sisters to carefully step towards her. While they got closer they noticed Lori's face it was in a state of shock until it suddenly convulsed into a state of anger. Lori immediately picked herself up "Lori…?" Leni asked as she reached for her shoulder. Lori grabbed Leni's hand and threw it back at her, she stormed to the steps and she stomped up the stairs until the girls heard her open and slam a door. They started to follow her until she screamed "GRRRRAAAAGGGHH!" and they all heard the sounds of objects breaking in someone's room and some glass shattering.
This went on for a few minutes as no one dared to go up the steps to try and check on their leader and none of them even looked at the TV once. Then they finally heard the door of a room open and their leader walking down the stairs with a still angry face she then stood in front of her sisters ready to address them. She cleared her throat "That White Haired Freak is going to pay when he gets back." Still confused Lola piped up "Uh… Why?" Lori didn't say a word and just pointed at the TV the sisters looked at it before approaching it and becoming surprised at what they saw.
Their own brother making a speech against them. They leaned in closer and turned up the volume on the TV to listen to what he was saying. "The Full House Gang has oppressed us for too long, they should either tone it down or get out!" The crowd roared with intensity pleasing Lincoln and gave him a smile on his face. Lincoln did know that his sisters would try to beat him up, but he had to do this without his costume because it wouldn't have the same effect. Lincoln wanted his sisters to change and someone who they see as a criminal wouldn't hit them deep enough. He thought that maybe seeing their brother say it would do something to them and help them realize their errors.
Lincoln then decided to continue, "And for those still on their side, just know they aren't the only ones with powers." The crowd went silent for a bit with them mostly mumbling and confused. Lincoln then changed the projection screen to some footage. The crowd looked up to see what looked to be security camera footage, as they looked on they could see men trying to break into a store. Then a mysterious figure came in and picked them off until he hit the leader into the glass window setting off an alarm. The crowd cheered for the boy saving the store but then they saw someone descending down in the air with flight. They could immediately recognize the person as The High Card.
She stood behind the mysterious vigilante until he turned around and after a few seconds of speaking they saw The High Card attack the vigilante and end up making him run away. The security footage ended and after it did the crowd started to loudly boo and chant "High Card Sucks!" Back with the FHG The girls immediately looked to Lori who wasn't angry anymore but was a bit depressed. She saw that Smoke wasn't even a criminal and that he was just doing some good for the city and she… beat him up. Lincoln then decided to close out his speech for good, "This mysterious hero is going by Smoke and he will bring change to Royal Woods as we know it!" Lincoln was then surprised to hear the crowd cheer "Smoke! Smoke!". He walked away from the podium and took his seat and a deep breath.
Lincoln was a bit worried he didn't know if his sisters would realize that he knew too much or not. "Just hope they don't connect the dots" Lincoln thought after Myles closed out the protest Lincoln waited until pretty much everyone was gone. He then teleported back to the same rooftop to retrieve his stuff, and on the way he was thinking of his next plan of action. "Maybe I should keep on fighting crime and just do my own thing." He thought "No, that's not good for the city now is it Linc?" A voice said. Lincoln stopped dead in his tracks and looked around for the voice, but didn't see a soul. He decided to keep moving and get back home until it spoke again "You must defeat your sisters!" It roared. Lincoln knew it was coming from inside of his head. But why?
Lincoln couldn't figure why it was there but tried his best to ignore it until it kept yelling at him about defeating his sisters. "Auugh! Where did you come from and what do you want!" He yelled out loud. Lincoln remembered in realization that when Lucy teleported him to the FHG base she also cursed him in the process. But what was this voice in his head trying to accomplish? What does it do to Lincoln? Unfortunately Lincoln didn't know these answers right away and would need to find out more information. Lincoln then arrived at his destination and looked up at his house. He then looked at his watch seeing the time "7:20" he said, his parents already knew he was going to be out for a while so he needed to go in and go back out.
Instead of just walking into the house Lincoln teleported into Lisa's room in which thankfully she wasn't in. He searched around for a bit before finding what he was looking for, the thing that made him what he was: the Ray Gun. To avoid being fought he teleported outside and then made his way to Clyde's house and knocked on the door. Howard McBride answered and saw Lincoln there "Oh! Lincoln, we've been expecting you for a while now." Lincoln rubbed his head and gave a nervous smile "Eh heh… sorry I got caught up in some business on the way" Mr. McBride reassured Lincoln "Oh No. it's okay we understand." Lincoln then decided to go into the hallway and set his backpack down at the door and take the Ray Gun out.
He opened up the door to see Clyde watching TV until he noticed Lincoln at the door. "Hey Lincoln hows it goin'?" Lincoln sighed and responded "Clyde I'm sorry for this." Clyde got a bit worried and carefully asked his next question "A-About what?" Lincoln pulled the Ray Gun out from behind his back and aimed it at Clyde and pulled the trigger
