Notes: Ventura has disappeared off grid after losing his family in a bombing at San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge back in early 2021. He has been assumed dead until sources have confirmed that he has been at Vial Corp, under the wing of Lisa Loud, the super intellectual founder of the company. It is believed that-
Lincoln stopped reading. He took his eyes from the computer.
I remember that. The fucker wanted revenge for his entire family. I get it now...
He rose up from the chair. "Alright, Lynn, I think I'm done."
Despite there being so much more on the page, this was all he needed to know. It didn't have to come to this. Everything was pointless. Death was still lurking from the shadows that surrounded Lincoln. The darkness was never going to end.
"So, any ideas on where we can find her?"
Lincoln wasn't able to form and share an answer for Lynn. "I don't know, she can be anywhere, at anyplace."
Since there was no facial recognition attached to Liberty Loud, everything led to dead ends.
"But she has to show up. And she will. Liberty's number one objective is to kill ne, so maybe-"
A rumbling was felt in the room. Lynn stood on her feet. "What was that?!" Lincoln looked to the cameras. "An explosion!" Halfway through looking at the cams, he spotted Liberty, holding a shotgun, heading to the cell blocks.
"She's here!" Lincoln made his way towards the cells as Lynn was alerting the twins.
Liberty found Luna and Link-N, already regenerated, in their cells. "Why, hello there!" Liberty had emptied her shells into two guards on duty. She moved quickly to release the two, setting down the gun.
Luna's instincts urged her to attack this mysterious woman, who very much resembled Lincoln. She gripped her claws on her stomach. "Who are you? Why did you free-?" Link-N pulled her away.
"She's no menace to us. Surely, there is something you need from us. Clearly, you didn't come for an autograph." Luna sniffed the air.
"Who's hiding behind the corner?"
Liberty grabbed her shotgun and called out to Bobby. "Come on out, Santiago."
The ripped Mexican, carrying a minigun, made his full appearance.
"Bobby? Bobby Santiago?" Luna hadn't seen him in years. Wow, he changed as well... Who didn't change?
"What is it your proposing? What do you want from me?" Luna was straight to the point.
"We all want the same thing. The Louds have to suffer. Well, Santiago here, he wants revenge on the Elite Xs."
Bobby continued for her. "They put me here, after an attempt on a past president's life. My mother, deported. I couldn't raise my sister by myself, so, she had to go live in Mexico. That's how I became who I am now; just-"
"He's a goddamn terrorist and mercenary, and was on the Elite's sights. The Louds are his enemies now. We all have a grudge against them, so I suggest we get started in their demises."
"Hold on a second, dude. Why are you dressed like Lincoln, when he was young?"
"Its a long story. So to speak. Santiago, you know what to do."
He nodded, as Liberty led Luna and Link-N back into the hallway...
...As Lincoln, Lynn and the twins were already there. Lana raced past them, stripping Liberty from her gun. "That's not fair." Lola quickly joined her twin. "FIRE NOW!" The minigun went off. Liberty dropped to the floor as the bullets sprayed through the cell room's walls. Lynn shielded Lincoln behind her. Luna followed Liberty's lead. Link-N was riddled with bullets.
After the firing stopped, Liberty turned her head back. The twins have fallen. Lana was bleeding out, while Lola, already dead, was pulled into Lana's dying arms. Her eyes were closing slowly. "Lola..."
Link-N was in the process of healing. Luna quickly scrambled to her feet, running towards Lynn. "Lincoln, get the clone. Hurry, kill him! Shoot his-" Lincoln stepped aside as Luna threw Lynn to the floor. "First one's the freebie, but I'm taking you down!" Lynn grabbed one of Luna's legs and lifted it, sending her backwards. She stepped over the ex-rocker. "Luna, stop this! I'm your sister!" Lynn was pulled to the ground, then shoved into the wall.
"You were, once!" Luna rammed into the wall, taking Lynn through it.
Lincoln grabbed Liberty by the neck. "HOW MANY MORE SISTERS WILL YOU TAKE FROM ME? WASN'T LINKA ENOUGH?!"
Link-N was on his knees, popping away the bullets embedded inside. Lincoln threw Liberty down, and made a grab for the shotgun near the now dead Lana. For a moment, he saw Linka, and Lily in the twins' places. And there, he knew in his mind, that once more, Lincoln had failed.
He picked up the shotgun.
Lynn waa thrown back into the hall. "HIS HEAD. SHOOT HIS FUCKING HEAD." Luna pounced on her, completely having the upper hand. "LUNA, DON'T YOU MAKE ME HURT YOU!" Luna snickered.
"You can't."
Lynn shoved her away, and grabbed her in a chokehold. "Luna, please don't-" Luna bit Lynn's hand.
Lincoln aimed the shotgun at the back of Link-N's head.
"He's just a little boy, and you don't kill children."
"Untrue, you killed my little girl!"
Lynn snapped Luna's neck, as the shotgun blast echoed through the hall.
Lynn held the body from falling, but attempted to shake it. "Luna? Luna!" Lynn began to go hysterical. "LUNA, NO. I DIDN'T MEAN TO-" Lynn knew what she had done, but couldn't accept it "LUNA, PLEASE WAKE UP. DON'T BE DEAD. WE'LL-"
Bobby surprised Lincoln with a fist. "What the fuck-"
Liberty looked at the dead clone. "Fuck me, how anticlimactic."
Lynn grew silent now, falling to the floor, gripping Luna's body like her life depended on it.
Bobby overpowered Lincoln, using the empty minigun to smash him around. Liberty blocked Bobby's path. "That's my kill, damn it!' Bobby set down the huge gun. "That's it. We won here."
Bobby handed her a revolver tucked away in the back of his shirt. She placed one bullet in the chamber.
"Special weaponry was designed by Vial Corp. They made special guns and bullets to stop powered people like Lynn, who were, say, bad guys. They're branded Phenomenons by everyone. Of course, testing was done in secrecy. So..." She walked over to Lynn. "Regardless of whether your a mutant or mutated Phenomenon, this should have the same effect on any. Lynn is one, Luna was one. The original Linka, Lori, the three clones, and even Lily, are all Phenomenons. Even you, Lincoln."
She faced back to him. "You're a Phenomenon."
Liberty then looked down at Lynn, and fired at her head. "You truly have lost here..." Lynn died instantly, while her killer placed another bullet inside.
"Why...?" Lincoln asked.
"Why what?
"Why kill them? I thought you only needed me. You said you wanted me dead..." Lincoln looked at the dead sisters.
"They died for you. Not with you, not alongside you. For you. They got in the way. So it had to be done. I'm sorry this timeline was not what you wanted."
"I remember it, what I changed. But I can still remember the main timeline."
"That's because you need to pass the moment, the day, in which you went back to change it. After that, you'll fully be in sync to the new timeline. But you'll forget you did so, and nothing can stop you from doing it again. Another reason you have to die."
Lincoln was dressed causally. He had just entered the building where he was going to bomb, in an attempt to end Lori and their friends; the very same one that was set to backfire and send him in a coma. He went on to place a second bomb in the exit where Lori was going to escape to. As soon as he heard the first go off, he'd set off the second one, before alerting his younger self and Clyde to cover, assuring that nothing happens to him. That Lincoln and the current one then became one and the same, forming into the new timeline's Lincoln Loud; the three years were accounted for, but Linka came out of the blue. Apparently, his first sexual experience has left his partner with his child, and more changes happened thereafter. Something he could not explain...
He reminisced a beautiful moment with Linka, while feeling the end of the gun on his forehead. "It doesn't fit, doesn't it? How Linka came to be? I guess its some sort of time explosion. I would've asked Levi, but he's dead. In this case, Lisa. But, you killed her. Haha."
"Daddy, push me higher!" Linka was happy about, as Lincoln pushed her on the swings. He didn't want her to go too high. "Weeeeee!" Nothing else mattered, apart from the happiness of the little girl before him. This was perfect. This was what he always imagined would be. He hoped it would be a child with Ronnie Anne, but this was good enough. The madness went quiet, and he had only a deadline to spend with Linka until his sisters returned from the past. A happy five years raising here, but three of thise years were peaceful.
He carried her on his shoulders. She wrapped herself around his head. "Where are we going now, daddy? Are we going home?"
Lincoln could not define where home was. He didn't feel like he had one, ever since the fire.
"We're going back." Linka yawned.
"I'm sleepy." He moved Linka into his arms, manually carrying her.
"You can sleep now, if you want." The girl yawned again, and closed her eyes.
"I love you, dad."
"I love you too... My little Bun-Bun."
Gone here, in this new hell, as well. Nothing was right.
"You'll be reunited with Linka soon. Just close your eyes."
Linka had just fallen off her bed. "Owwwwieee! Boo-boo!" Lincoln examined the wound. "Don't worry, I'll get a band-aid." She sat on his bed, staring at the wound. Lincoln returned shortly, and patched it up. Linka twitched and let out an 'eek!' of pain. "Are you okay now?" Linka nodded. "It doesn't hurt anymore." Lincoln smiled.
"That's good, Bun-Bun. That's good."
Lincoln's eyelids met each other. All hope was lost, like it did, a decade ago. His fate was accepted.
"Daddy, I don't like it here." Lincoln looked around the apartment. As big as it was for the three, it was also lonely. "I know, Bun-Bun, I know. One day, we're going to leave this place, and find a better house to live in. And you'll make friends there, so you won't feel this anymore. I promise."
He held his pinky out, and Linka closed the deal. She smiled happily.
"I lied about the bomb in the old house, by the way."
Lincoln moved out of the gun's sight, before Liberty fired. He bit into her hand as deep as he was able to. "AAAAGH!"
Lincoln pushed her into Bobby. "NO! YOU HAVE TO DIE!" Lincoln pulled out a concealed knife from his back. Liberty got out of the way as he charged at her.
"HHHHCCKK" Bobby took the edge into his throat. Lincoln moved it about, watching the blood escape. "NO!" Lincoln kicked Liberty as she tried to push him away. "I CAN'T GO BACK! I WON'T!"
Lincoln had one final card to play; the technology that made all this possible. Liberty was no longer his concern.
Lana was still moving about. Lincoln rushed to her. "Can you run? I need you to take me to Lisa's main Vial Corp facility. I can save all of us..." She squinted her eyes.
"I only-" She coughed loudly. "-Have enough for one last ride..." She slowly stood up. "C-can you save us?" He nodded.
"Lincoln! LINCOLN LOUD!" Liberty was aiming the shotgun at them. "You both die, right here!" Lana grabbed Lincoln, and sped off, as Liberty fired away.
"NOOOOOO!" Her voice trailed off, replaced by a long whoosh of air. Lincoln stumbled back, taking critical damage. Lana's arm had been blown off clean, and fell dead. Lincoln did not want to turn to see what was left of Lana. He carried on, heading back down to the time machine.
Activating it, he set the date, already knowing where he was planning to go.
Lincoln was going to sacrifice the missing three years again, but if it meant undoing this monstrosity of a timeline, then it was a small price to pay. This also meant undoing little Linka's existence. If she was destined to die, then having her exist was not necessary. Lincoln entered, with tears in his eyes.
Goodbye, Linka...
Everything went white.
May 16th, 2026- A day before Lucy and Linka's deaths
Lincoln found himself back in his apartment. Everyone was here, safe and sound, celebrating Lisa's downfall. "Here's to peace!" Lynn yelled. Lincoln got up from the sofa, and wrapped Linka in a deep hug. "What is this all about?" He held onto her, beginning to cry again. "Oh, hey, what's- Why are you crying?" Everyone surrounded the teary young man. "Lincoln, is something the matter?"
He sniffed loudly. "Linka, my sweet Linka. My Bun-Bun."
She placed her hands around him. "Bun-Bun? Dad, why are you acting strange?"
"I love you." Linka was fully caught off-guard stunned at his words. She let out a wide smile, and leaked a happy tear.
"Do you really mean that?"
His head shook wildly.
Lynn heard a screeching behind her. Lincoln remembered how it went the first time. He immediately flew into action, bursting through the door, and shooting at the black Sedan in view. It sped away as fast as it could.
Change starts now... He thought.
AN: And, we are back to the main timeline! Of course, a few new mysteries have been unveiled. So, let's recap what Timeline X has revealed:
Luan's disorder.
The invisible existence of Liberty Loud.
The whereabouts of Leni, discovered by Lincoln. You may or may not see a Lincoln enraged at Lupa down the line.
Where Bobby has been, at least, something of an idea. Still on the fritz whether he'll reappear or not. I do have an idea on when he can pop up again. You've seen the harm that he can do, so...
And the biggest reveal: Liberty tells Lincoln the fire was not an accident. Goddamnit, I can't believe how good this is coming along.
Since chapter four, Lynn was the only one warned of something coming. No longer is this the case, for Lincoln has been let on the same warning.
Now, the next arc will be the conclusion to the Lisa/Vince saga. Followed by the...
