Lincoln was outside of the house, and didn't feel as weak like when he passed out after killing the Vampire king. Oh how he missed those glorious, beautiful blue skies that blanketed the earth from above him, and everyone else in the world. He was so happy to have his family back, and he felt like sobbing a tear of joy from his face, knowing that he made a big accomplishment, even with some help to do it. Luna and the other sisters accompanied him, still feeling very guilty about turning evil and trying to get their only brother to be a vampire, and felt like apologizing again, probably even countless times.
Birds were chirping, and a yellow-belly sapsucker was seen pecking the wood off the tree in the front yard. It blinked three times, and made a call from it's beak. Lincoln smiled and then the bird flew away from the tree.
"I missed the blue skies." he muttered to himself. "Just like the sky should look like. Not a drop of blood in sight, either." and he looked at his sisters. He couldn't be any more happier to have them all back to normal.
"I know we said this a thousand times, but we're very sorry, Linc." said Luna.
"It's okay Luna. I forgive you guys. It's over now." And he sighed. All the sisters were really glad to hear that. Just then, a bat perched on Lincoln's left shoulder, and he immediately yelped in horror. "Vampire! Get it off of me!"
"Calm down, calm down!" said Lucy. "It's just Fangs."
Lincoln realized that Lucy was right, and Fangs just smiled at him with his adorable, yet a little scary face. "Oh. It is just you, Fangs." he looked at him. "Sorry for thinking you were an actual vampire." The small bat just squeaked in reply, and licked Lincoln's face.
"He just wanted to know how you were doing, big brother." Lucy clarified.
"Oh." then he couldn't help but gently pet the bat's small head, and Fangs was obviously enjoying it. "I don't hate you guys for being brainwashed, I know very well that if anyone is to blame, it's Vlad and Meela."
"Amen to that." Lynn agreed. "And I don't blame ya for pounding me to a pulp like that when you're a werewolf. I deserved it."
"You looked wicked as a werewolf, Lincoln." said Luna. "And I mean that in the new sense of the word."
"Thanks, Luna. It made me feel a little... different." Then Fangs perched on Lucy's shoulder again like a pirate with his trusted parrot. "Still, I don't know if I would want to do that again."
"Don't worry. It's over now." Said Leni. "We're not vampires anymore, and there is no more suffering."
"And nothing will literally separate us like this again." Lori added
"Good."
"Lincoln," Said a familiar voice. It was Ronnie Anne, who was back to normal as well. Although, she had a cast over her head, possibly due to injury from Lincoln as a werewolf. "You recovered. You Okay, lame-o?"
"Just fine." Said Lincoln. "But, i'm Very sorry I injured you like that, Ronnie Anne."
"It's okay. Ow! I deserved it."
"Is your scalp greatly injured?" Asked Lisa
"Well... my skull cracked open with heavy bleeding, but i'm okay, now. The doctor suggested that I shouldn't wear anything on my head for the next month, though."
Looking rather guilty and terrible about how he injured Ronnie Anne like that with stitches in her head, Lincoln said: "I didn't mean to hurt you, I swear Ronnie Anne."
"Don't worry about it." Said Ronnie Anne. "I don't think it hurts that much anyway." Then she gently tapped her head with her left first finger. However, she felt the sharp pain on her head come back to her, and she let out a loud "Yeooowwwww!" At the top of her lungs
"you Okay?" Asked Lincoln in worriment.
"Ow, just fine. That was all me."
"Take it easy on your head Ronnie Anne." Lincoln suggested.
"you don't have to tell me twice, Lame-o." Then she gave him a hug, making the Loud Sisters go "Aww."
"Babe?" Said Bobby, running up to the group in a distance. "Oh, there you are, Babe."
"Bobby Boo-boo bear!" Lori exclaimed in joy. They both embraced and kissed each other's lips. "I was so worried about you."
"I felt the same way."
"Bobby. You're not mad at me, are you? You know, for hurting your sister like that?" Asked Lincoln sheepishly.
"Don't worry. We know you had to fight us for the greater good."
"Good. Thank you for understanding." Said Lincoln.
"And i'm Sorry if I scared you."
"We all are." Ronnie Anne added. "Liam, Zack, Rusty, Haiku, Jordan, Everyone was feeling guilty about being evil vampires."
"it's not your guys' fault." Lincoln remarked. "I forgive you you guys."
"Even me, sport?" Said another voice. It was Pop Pop looking happy and cheerful as ever. "How you pulling there, kiddo?"
"Pop Pop." Lincoln ran up to him to give him a big hug. "Are you airight?"
"Never better. Sorry for coming late. I was thinking of how I was going to face you again." He had a look of remorse on his face. "Since I was an evil vampire under Vlad and Meela. I was worried I scarred you for life after fighting you and Clyde like that."
"I forgive you, Pop Pop." Said Lincoln."
"Thank you, Lincoln. And I want to see ya I'm proud of your strengths, especially how you killed the vampire king like that."
"Yeah, if not for you, we would still be evil blood-sucking vampires." Said Lana.
"You should have seen how he killed Vlad like that." Said Lola.
"It was a big hit, Hahahaha! Get it?" Luan joked
"Well, I think I just got lucky."
"Don't be so modest." Luna ruffed his white hair playfully. "You were awesome, bro. You're one of the bravest kids i've Ever known in my life. You were strong enough to hold out and not save us all at the perfect time."
Lincoln blushed. "Yeah. I did save the world." He admitted. Then all the sisters hugged him in a circle to show how much they love and appreciate him for that.
"Well, I better get back to the retirement home." Said Pop Pop. "See ya kids later." And he went back home in his car.
"We need to get going, too," Said Ronnie Anne. "I gotta take some painkillers for my head. And Lincoln, i'm glad you're okay."
"Thanks. See you soon, Ronnie Anne, Bobby."
"Later, Little Loud." Said Bobby. Then the Santiago siblings went back home as well, but in a different direction.
Suddenly having a thought, Lincoln said: "How are we gonna have Halloween in November? It was at least five or six days since Halloween passed."
"Don't feel bad, Lincoln." Said Lynn. "Honestly, I thought that this year's Halloween was kind of awesome."
"Yeah, the werewolves vs vampires thing, the steam room, the party. It was rather sweet." Clyde agreed.
"And we spent time together as a family." Luna said. "We never wanted to hurt you, Linc. The party we had was pretty sweet."
"You're right." Lincoln agreed. "Sometimes it's fun to be scared."
And they all had a good laugh. Lincoln went back inside the house, and his sisters and best friend followed him. The boy was still a little weak and a little tired from everything he had been through, so he relaxed on the couch.
Fenrir, and Cayden went up to check on him. "You still feel a little fatigue, Lincoln?" Asked Cayden.
"Well... a little. My legs are a little sore."
"You should probably get back to your parents bed and take it easy, young one." Fenrir suggested with a chuckle.
"I think that's best." Said Lincoln, then he promptly, went back to his parent's master bed. "So, I guess this is goodbye, isn't it?"
"No. not goodbye." Said Fenrir. "We will meet again, Lincoln."
"When?"
"It would be up to you. You can look for me, or I will look for you. Only time will tell, Lincoln."
"And, as for us," Said Cayden. "We'll see you again. I'm sure of it." And he gave him a gentle pat on his right leg. "And like my mentor said: only time will tell."
"We might see you the next day, the day after tomorrow, or in a month." Said Emeka. "We just have to wait and see what will happen in the future."
Simone chuckled and said: "Yes. We will never forget about each other. As a matter of fact, we all wanted to give you something."
"What's that?"
"Cayden. I believe he has earned it." Said Red
"I concur." Alexei added. "He did save the world after all comrade."
"He had more than the right to earn it." Gowanii added.
"What is it?" Lincoln asked in a more excited and eager voice. Cayden chuckled and decided to pull out a badge or a token to him.
"Alright alright." then he held it out to the boy. "Hold your left hand, Lincoln." The boy did as Cayden told him to do, and slowly opened his left hand so that he can give him the gift. "I give you zis honorary badge of honor and heroism." he said. The medallion was in the shape of a fierce-looking wolf on it.
"Wow. A badge?"
"Oui. You are now an honorary member of he Sunguard." said Cayden. This made Lincoln so happy to be apart of a great group like this. He couldn't even describe how touched and flattered he was by this gift. He didn't really care about any trophies or money after saving the world, he just wanted things to go back to the way they were, and he finally did what he needed to do.
"Wow. That's cool." said Luna. "You being a part of a werewolf group."
"I know." Lincoln agreed. He took a good, long look at this medallion of gold, and he thought it looked really nice and shiny. The wolf face on it looked really fierce as well, yet heroic and bold at the same time. He decided this was a symbol of all the great things Lincoln had done, how he saved the world from a powerful vampire king and queen.
"I think it would be a perfect trophy and a reminder of this great deed you just committed." said Fenrir. he then sat down on his left, and wrapped his right arm around his shoulders. "What do you think, Lincoln?"
"Hmm, I think you're right, Fenrir. I did save everyone. I'll keep it."
"A wise choice, my boy." said the elderly werewolf proudly.
"So, can you guys just... leave me alone for a while?" and he gave out a yawn.
"Wait, we still want to have a little word with Fenrir." said Lori. "We literally want to ask for his forgiveness."
The elderly werewolf smiled. "Of course."
"We're very sorry for trying to make Lincoln an evil vampire before." said Luna. "I know we can't really take it back, but you helped took away this ball and chain that Vlad and Meela placed in our minds."
"There is no need to apologize, my dear Luna." said Fenrir. "What matters is that you all conquered your vampire urges just to help your own brother. The power of love was the whole reason behind it."
"And who says you can't kill with kindness?" Asked Lana.
"Exactly. And you are forgiven. All of you." The sisters all smiled hearing that from Fenrir. "And I am very proud of you all fighting your urges and saving your brother and Clyde. Oh, I almost forgot." Then he gave Clyde a Sunguard Medallion of his own."
"Ah. I almost forgot to give him zat. Desole master."
Fenrir made a chuckle and said "Ca va, Cayden. We all forget things. It was one of the many things I taught you in life."
Lincoln had a thought of Vlad before his last dying breath. A small pinch of guilt and regret appeared on his face. "You know," he said. "I... kinda feel bad for killing Vlad like that. I know he's evil and all, but he said he wanted me as him to rule as father and son."
"It was for the best, Lincoln." Said Fenrir. "And he and his wife did commit unforgivable atrocities after all."
"I concur." Said Lisa. "He planned to shatter our real parents, Lincoln."
"Right."
"Well, we should leave you alone for a little while." Said Emeka. "You deserve more rest after all you have been through."
"I think that's best." Said Lincoln. "Wait! What happened to the armor I was given by Vlad?"
"Oh, that evil-looking Armor?" Asked Rita. "I was a bit to throw it away in the trash and-"
"No!" Lincoln said. "Please mom, I want to have it. That suit looks so cool on me, and it makes me look... spiffed up."
"He's not wrong, brah." Luna said. "That suit looks totally rad and rockin'. I think he should keep it. It would be a perfect Halloween costume."
"And the cape is like icing on He cake." Said Lynn. "He looks evil in that suit. Oh, not lie the actual evil, but really cool."
"Winky!" Lily exclaimed while clapping her hands.
"It makes you look like a dark king." Lucy added
"And, I haven't actually turned into a vampire while wearing that suit. I just thought it looked good on me."
"If you want to keep the suit, zen I am perfectly alright with that." Said Cayden.
'That's right. It is your suit after all."
"Thank you." Said Lincoln gratefully.
"But I might wash it with your other dirty clothes, sport. Is that okay with you?"
"No problem, dad."
"Well, we might as well be going, Lincoln." Said Cayden. "It was a pleasure meeting you, and I hope we will see each other again soon." The other members of the Sunguard saidmtheir byes to him and Clyde, hugged the boys, and they went out. "Well, Au revoir." Said Cayden, who was the last one to leave the house.
"Hold on, Cayden." Said Fenrir. "I just need to tell Lincoln something. Do not worry. I will be right behind you."
"Okay, Master. I will be waiting." As he and the Sunguard went outside, the other family members let him and Lincoln be.
"Well, I am very proud of you Lincoln. What you did was beyond magnificent and remarkable. Sure, you have had a little help, but there is nothing wrong with that. You probably would not have been successful without the support from Clyde and the Sunguard. This is not a final goodbye. Like I have said: we will meet again, but in dew time."
"That's okay. I'm just glad everything's back to normal."
"Farewell, Lincoln. May the stars and skies guide you everyday as you live in this world." And he gave him a fatherly hug.
"Bye, Fenrir. I'll see you soon." Said Lincoln. After that, he was alone in the parents' bedroom, and rested his body on the mattress, turning to the left side. He put the wolf medallion on the nightstand, and he smiled.
Lincoln was certainly going to miss Cayden, his mentor, and all his friedns in the Sunguard, but he will see them again in the future. It would take a little time for him to recover from the minor aches, but he knew the battle was won.
Later
Lincoln was sitting on the couch reading comic books in his underwear again, another thing he missed before Vlad took over the world. Halloween decorations were put back up, and everyone was changed into their costumes.
Luna noticed him, and said: "Hey dude, pops got your cool suit done." And he showed him the armor that looked unchanged after Vlad's untimely demise.
"Thank you, Luna." Said Lincoln. He smelled it, and it had the scent of lilac surrounding it, and went to hang it up on his room. "Yep, i'm Definitely keeping this." He nodded his head on approval.
As a matter of fact, he was thinking of wearing it tonight for Halloween, which was postponed because of the Vampire fiasco.
"You know, Fenrir is a really cool wolf, Linc." Said Luna.
"Totally. Cayden is too" Lincoln added. "And the other members of the Sunguard, especially the way of how they look like as werewolves."
"Bro. I... I don't know if I can face you like this after all I did. I know you forgive me, but I don't know if I would forgive myself for it." And she turned around before Boeing her head in shame.
"Oh Luna. It's okay." Said Lincoln sympathetically. "And, I thank you for not biting me when you first became a vampire."
"No problem. Baby bro."
"And Luna, is it okay if I... sleep with you tonight?"
Luna smiled at him warmly, and hugged him by surprise. "Hellyeah, Lincoln. I am forever loving ya." Lincoln hugged her back. "I would love that."
"Thank you."
"No prob." Then they broke off of the hug.
Lincoln and his sisters went off tonight to go trick-or-treating for this late Halloween, over the night, he had gotten lots of candy, probably even more than his sisters, for everyone in Royal Woods recognized him as the hero he was for saving them and the world from being a living hell full of vampires.
His sisters didn't care, for they knew he had earned a special reward for this, and the same with Clyde.
"Wow, we got king-sized chocolate bars!" Said Clyde. Then he and Lincoln yelled "Jackpot!" With enthusiasm.
"This is great. We're getting more candy then ever!" Said Luan. "This is a real treat!" And she laughed. "Get it?"
"let's move on to the next house." Said Lucy "my sweet tooth demands more." And they went to more and more houses for more candy to snack on and safe for a number of days. After all the houses they went to, it would be up to a month or two before they were all gone, like their stash would be big enough to be a knoll or a mountain.
Everyone was happy when they came back home with a large load of candy, and as usual, Lynn Sr was cowering in fear under the couch. "I hate Halloween!"
"Walk it off, dad." Said Lola. "Don't be such a crybaby."
They all begin eating some candy and felt a little tired, especially Lincoln. Despite that, he had a glass of iced root beer just because he wanted one, and drank it all down. "Man, What a night."
"What a Halloween!" Said Lana. "Us turning into vampires, werewolves being the good guys, there was so much we've been through."
"You can say that again." Said Leni. "Although, I am totes happy with some of the ideas Vlad had given to me for any dresses."
"I don't know about you, but I am going to rock the cradle tonight." Said Luna. She yawned, and went upstairs to brush her teeth, and a line for the bathroom was formed as the other Loud siblings were getting ready for bed.
After that, Lori said "Lincoln, we want you to know how much we love you. And we literally thank you for saving us."
"You are a true hero to us, Linky" said Leni.
"And I really commend ya for being strong when you were captured by us." Luan added
"You are one of the bravest guys I've ever known." Lynn gently gave him a punch on his right arm.
"We're sorry if we traumatized you while we were being vampires." Said Lucy. "We thank you for forgiving us."
"And how you turned into a werewolf was awesome." Said Lana before giving off a howl
"I might not be fund of werewolves," said Lola. "But in your case, Lincoln, I really applaud you for saving us."
"We owe you a steep debt, older brother." Said Lisa.
"Winky." Said Lily, wanting to hug her big brother. Lincoln was so happy and touched, he gently picked baby Lily from the floor and gave her a hug.
"I love you guys."
"We love you too, Lincoln!" Said the sisters, all hugging him to show their love. Rita and Lynn Sr noticed this, and smiled at this sweet and tender moment.
"What about us, Lincoln?" Said Lynn Sr with a smirk.
"No hug for your parents?" Said Rita with a smirk and raised eyebrow.
"Come here, mom and dad." Then the parents hugged Lincoln after the sisters.
"That's our little trooper." Rita said proudly. "Well, good night." And the parents went back downstairs to their bedroom. The other sisters hugged Lincoln one more time before heading off to bed, telling him goodnight and they love him.
Luna stayed, and suggested "How about er sleep in your room, dude?"
"Sure." They both went in Lincoln's bedroom, and Luna couldn't help but tuck him in and she laid down next to him. "I'm very proud of ya, baby bro." Then she gave him a kiss on the forehead. "Goodnight, Lincoln."
"Good night Luna." He replied with a yawn.
"I love you. Forever and always." Said Luna.
"Same."
They both closed their eyes, and slowly went to sleep with Luna keeping her brother close to her and Lincoln shed one tear of joy and pure happiness, for he was so happy to have his family back.
