July 21st, 2039

Lynn had warped just outside the remnants of the old house she and her perfectly imperfect family of many lifestyles and hobbies had lived in before the miserable fire had changed their lives. She remembered the pain and agony that living with that darkness had brought onto her life. That, and life had also rejected Lynn happiness with some other smaller things. Her own caretaker had passed before he could see the stray girl he took pity on and raised go off to marry and settle down. Why, it wasn't fair then, and it wasn't fair now.

That, and her infertility. That void, that injustice of keeping her own bloodline intact, stripped away before she could even come to realize it. Then came Lacy. Dear, sweet Lacy whom Lynn couldn't really accept or see as her own. That was one regret that she admitted to herself as the challenge that scared her. Not bothering to guide her. Not bothering to get to know her. And not bothering to help herself face her own demons.

And she went for that with Lynnette. Where did Lynn go wrong with her? No, Lynn never did wrong by her. It was them. It was her handlers who let Lynnette believe she was inferior to both Lynn and Luna, and as long as Lynn was around, Lynnette could never be the number one strongest among the two. Lynnette was flawed for that reason, only acting on Lynn's childish behavior and teenage personality. This was like young Lynn running around in Nnyl's body, never Lynnette. And this one tried different tactics. Brutal and effective, enough to make her feel herself superior.

Maybe there could be some exploitation from showing Nnyl the flaws of her persona. Lynn had gone too easy and lenient with her, and maybe it was time to harm the clone she had tried to pass off as her own. If only... If only Nnyl understood that Lynn cared for her. If only she knew that Lynn didn't want this for her. Not for any of them. That was why Lynn believed it was her mission to defeat Nnyl. Her, and not Linka nor Lupa.

Lucky was already running away, waddling like a duck. Lynn had already the EMP, but she'd have to go to the center of town to do so, and activate it from the highest building. Pity she lost her super strength for her speed, or she'd have no trouble carrying the thing for that distance. "Umph!" Lynn picked it back up with both arms and went on her way, chasing Lucky just down the streets. The bloodshed had indeed begun as she passed by nunelrous bodies, some of which had been cut up or mutilated heavily. This was only the work of one clone who renamed herself Nnyl. It made Lynn sick to ger stomach. "Oh, my God... Lucky! Stay close to me!"

Near the Radio Station

Lupa was ascending the top hill of where she knew the place would be, but only there was a damn detour in the form of a flipped PG&E truck blocking the rest of the way, meaning she'd have to climb. She honked the horn and set the car to park. "Hey, we've hit a road block!"

"What is road block?" Laika moved out of the trunk and exmaned the obstacle. "Trees need cutting!"

"I can't move them in time, but we're close to the radio station! It's just a few steps up there!"

"Very good!" Laika began climbing over the truck, then quickly backed down, spooked by something. "Enemy, comrade Lupa!"

The clone hovered into the air just as the truck tilted once more, nearly crushing the redhead with a pistol. She had some skill, not at all an amateur. Lupa gathered more questions, but first thing was first. They encountered an obese pheno who's power seemed to come from chicken wings. "Big guy, I shoot! I not miss!"

But Lupa effortlessly snatched the headband from the pheno's head. When he fell and made the earth shake intensely, Lupa felt something was off. "It can't be this easy... It just can't be..."

"Comrade, we have mission to do!" Laika was already rushing uphill.

Lupa raced after her. "Just a minute! Who even are you?!"

"I am Laika Letenko of Sudak, but apparent not be my true origin. I come to help you after girl with glasses feed crazy story! Come here alone, sure not but..." She pointed upwards. "Comrades Warrior Women come here soon."

"You said my name?" Lupa wondered. "How do you know my name?"

"Come from future," Laika answered. "Know you, know Linka, know everybody Loud."

Future? This again? "By... Looking at the past, right? Did we make the textbooks?"

"What is textbook?"

A small square building with a satellite dish spinning around on top had come into view after some more tiring climbing. Lynn would have been proud of Lupa for sure of getting this type of exercise. "We're here!"

"Great! Uhh, why we here? I think arsenal is better, yes?"

"I don't need a weapon, cause I already am the weapon!" Lupa stated with absolute glory. "Besides, I'm here to send a message to the world, or anyone who's on the air. I'm surprised the news choppers are not circling around town yet."

Lupa bashed the entrance door in, walking in to see a bloodbath of three dead staff members sprawled on the floor, bodies all crumpled up in the most distorted ways possible. "Wow, Nnyl has thought of everything!" She picked herself up a headset from one of the corpses and wiped the blood off using her shirt. Then, she put them on and sat at the control panel. "Um... How does this work?"

She heard herself through the headset, and looked up at a flashing green sign that read; On Air

"Oh!" She squealed, looking for the right words to say. "Um, hello? C-can I have everyone's attention?" She paused momentarily, looking to the young foreign woman with nervousness. Laika returned a thumbs up and a nod at her, gun still rotating in her hand. "Royal Woods is under attack! I repeat, it is under attack, part of a orchestrated invasion led by an evil pheno who is mind controlling every other pheno in existence! And it's not just this, but a government agency is using the means of their own forces to wipe out all innocent phenos, and will frame a specific bunch. I'm not about to let this happen, and neither should you! If you can hear this, if you can hear me..."

Royal Woods

"...We need all the help we can get."

The broadcast had indeed reached the airwaves of countless radios that reached past the town's radius, playing on stereos of passing cars near the town, at the homes of curious residents who had seen the skies go smoke black, around some of the many police officers who were still fighting, and definitely by a marine battalion that mobilized right toward the town, armed with enough tanks and choppers to turn the tide. The Agency was now on the way to deploy their forces to link up with the marines, armed with anti-pheno weaponry. Even Linka was tuned into the station while she commandeered a green Jeep, going around and running over every hostile she could find.

She came across a patrol car coming up pretty fast on the opposite lane. Rather than hailing them down, Linka drove right into them, jumping into the backseat right before the collision. She jerked forward, smacking hard into the seats. For proper weapons.

The only officer from the cop car stumbled out dizzy. Linka knocked him out and put him in the backseat before taking off with a shotgun. Finally, some real rounds this time.

Lucky appeared from the corner, running and laughing as the assaults continued. "H-hey, you're not supposed to-"

Lynn came following from behind, staggering about with the cylinder device in her hands. "Oh, Linka! How's the fighting going?"

"Cut the shit! What the fuck is the meaning of this?!" Linka grabbed Lucky and put him in a chokehold. "You had one job!"

"Relax, I'll call Lana to take him away!"

"And I see you have the EMP! Go on, activate the damn thing! I'll take him off of your hands instead!"

"No, this is on me! I'll take him out of here, so you have to be the one to set it off!" She then paused. "You do know how to, right?"

Linka set her weapon down an picked up the metallic cylinder. "Of course I do!" She studied the EMP, then gasped. "Lynn... We have a problem."

"What now?"

Linka pointed at two handles in the top center of the device. "This is a... Manual fucking fryer."

"M-manual? Are you kidding me?!" Lynn opened her hands, questioning why it was built the way it was, all while Linka placed it over her shoulder.

"You didn't think to check?" Linka was ashamed of Lynn's noggin. "You've been with the Agency, right? You should know these things."

"I keep telling everyone I don't have clearance for everything!"

"Wonder why," Linka said sarcastically. "It looks like you'll have to activate this yourself, and run away before getting turned into toast."

"They're harmless to people, aren't they?"

"Not up close, no. Instant barbecue right in front of it when activated. That's why..." Linka shoved a finger at Lynn's face. "It must be you!"

Lynn released her grip on Lucky, who was still acting drowsy and fumbling about. "Then I'll t-take it!"

"You'll activate it when after dropping off the kid! Don't call-" But then, Lana had unexpectedly showed up out of the blue.

"Hey, guys!"

Radio Station

Lupa slipped off the headset, feeling proud of herself. "I hope we actually get back-up for this!"

"Is very good move, comrade! Now we go back to town!" Laika ran out the door, but a force had repelled her back inside, sending her hurdling right into the wall.

"Whoa-" Lupa moved to the foreign girl's aid, but Liberty came in speeding right at her, delivering a kick in her face. "Agh!"

"Surprise, surprise!" Liberty cheered. "I'm sorry to say that your time is up, Lupa! Hehe."

Blood poured away from Lupa's nose as she got back up. "I knew it, I fucking knew it! You were playing us!"

"That signifies you accepted that I was truly on your side, then! I gotcha good, Snowball!"

"Y-you're with Nnyl..." Lupa raised a hand, opening it at Liberty's direction. The speedster warped away, dodging Lupa's telekinesis. "You fucking-!"

"You'd have to do a lot better than that!" Liberty bragged. "I'm the best-"

Lupa rebounded by cracking the glass and sent the shards flying towards the speedster from behind. Liberty screeched painfully as she took multiple fragments onto her back, legs, and two that dug their way into the back of her head. "Owie! How dare you! Now I'll-!"

Laika turned over in a surprise move and let her rounds fly to hit Liberty's legs. "Speed-o-phile fall!"

"N-not again!" That made Liberty pull back, running away with her tail between her legs.

"Girl die!" Laika chased after Liberty, while Lupa just laid back, sighing angrily.

Royal Woods

Lynn was guiding Lana, who carried Lucky around her, out of town, while now engaging several phenos along the way. The teenage boy was enjoying the rollercoaster ride as Lynn punched the living obstacles in their way, and Lana was ducking all attacks she was avoiding to receive.

"Keep them off me!" Lana screeched.

"Just keep running! I'll be right behind you!" Lynn held off a trio of phenos, pushing them away from Lana. "Go!"

Lana kept speeding away with the "stoned" nephew mounted on her. "I'm going!"

Lynn knocked the headbands from the three phenos and hurried after Lana, providing support until Lana was home free to escape the ensuing chaos. It didn't happen like the way she hoped, a hard lesson to learn in the center of war; anything can happen, so be prepared for the worst.

Liberty came in and pushed Lynn down while she was bleeding immensely, leaving a blood trail along with her orange afterlight. "Oh, this is a surprise!"

"L-Liberty, what happened to your back?!" Lana nearly cupped her mouth when seeing the nice genderbent twitching violently to the wounds. "And why'd you push Lynn down?"

"Lana, was it? Yeah, that's it, that's your name!" The stunned tomboy was taken for a short joyride after Liberty knocked Lucky out of her grasp. The two were gone before he hit the ground.

"What are you doing?!" Lana and Lynn had yet to realize Liberty's allegiance, but the tomboy thought she was being taken to safety. "Wait, I csn take care of myself! Go back for Lucky!"

Liberty stopped right at the library, dropping Lana off. "I hope you'll make due..."

"Make due? Make due for what?" Liberty wasn't making any sense. "What am I doing here?"

It was the final question Lana asked when Liberty vibrated her hand right through Lana's chest. Nnyl had come running down as the poor tomboy fell on the sidewalk. Another dying victim among the inferno that Nnyl had single-handedly caused. She twitched about, grabbing hold of her chest for air. An organ or lung had been fatally misplaced, but no risk high enough to fix that. Lana wouldn't dare... And for that, she'd die a slow and painful death.

It was on the last few seconds of her life that her eyes engaged with Liberty's, looking to her in a desperate attempt to know why she did what she did. The one she met back in her own world was nice, caring, and affectionate. Affectionate in the same way she could relate to Lola's own. That, and the equivalent powers the two had.

A surrogate sister, gone. And Liberty flinched with some implication of regret when she turned away from Lana. "Oh... Hmmmm..." Weird. The killer felt rather... Off right after Lana had drawn her last breath. And this was not long after dropping heartfelt words that convinced Lana to run again. All for nothing. "Ahhhh..."

"What, never seen death before?" Nnyl rhetorically asked her. "And I said Lupa, not Lana. How did she get here?"

"Lynn and Lucky are here," Liberty informed. "You'd best hurry-"

Lynn had followed Liberty's blood trail back to her, finding not only her and Lana, but also Nnyl with them. She elbowed Lana's killer hard in the face. "WHAT DID YOU DO WITH MY SISTER?!"

Liberty plummeted hard on the ground, falling face first.

Lynn turned her attention to her clone, ready for the rematch. "LYNNETTE!"

The first punch was thrown by her, but it was so easily countered by Nnyl, who performed an uppercut and struck a good blow onto Lynn. "AWESOME! LET'S FIGHT SO THAT YOU MAY LOSE A SECOND TIME!"

Lynn tried another punch, but pulled a fake when Nnyl ducked down this time, and knee'd her face. Lynn then quickly grabbed her and flipped her over, not wasting a nanosecond. She wrapped her hands around Nnyl's neck and firmly had her pinned down. "STOP THIS, STOP THIS NOW! CALL OFF YOUR SLAVES!"

"Not even in your dreams," Nnyl rebelled. "I'll make them stand down once you and the rest of your... Or, our family are wiped out from the face of the earth. Maybe if I'm feeling generous..." She began laughing cruelly but joyously while downed. "I'll let the others live so that they can take the fall of this mess! Yes, that is my idea of mercy!"

Lynn growled with anger, gripping Nnyl tighter to the point she began to squirm out of Lynn's arms. "No, no- You do that right now! You stop this, Lynnette! You've gone too far!"

"I've yet to- Hcck... Accomplish-" Nnyl revealed her secondary ability, which was Luna's own. Her claws spawned, enabling her to escape from her "mother" by gnawing at her hands. "My ultimate mission!"

Lynn pushed herself back, scathing from her scratch wounds. "Mission? Mission?! This is murder, and you're responsible for this! For all of this... This death! Look around you!"

Sure enough, there had been bodies spread around them, the rising amount of black some that filled the air, and the emergency siren that had been activated too late. It wasn't going where Lynn had wanted, but she had to keep trying. She had to keep trying to win, with all her might.

"I know, right? Isn't it great?" Nnyl only took pride in the ongoing hell she had ignited upon their hometown. "What's more, new players will be coming in shortly! More people who will die! Canon fodder everywhere!"

"And then what? What happens after you win?!" Lynn steadied her position, keeping her distance from Nnyl who had gottsn back up, smiling fiendishly. "You're aging rapidly, but you're throwing away your life by going against us?! Us?! Me, who wanted to find a solution to decrease your aging?!" Lynn's breath shook with an unsteady rate, succumbing into a sap notion. "I wanted to save you... That's why- That's why I helped them put you away in the tank! It was slowing your age rare down until... They said they would find a solution..."

"Spare me, Lynn," Nnyl coughed, "I didn't need saving then, and I don't need saving now!"

Lynn took a deep inhale through her nose, reveling in the clone's words, and exhaled through her mouth. "Then what is it you need?! What was it that you desperately needed?! I have to know!"

Nnyl began doing some arm stretches on the spot with a downed face that replaced her joy. "If you really had to ask..." Then, she came at her predecessor full throttle. "YOU WILL NEVER KNOW!"

The clash had begun, kicking off with the running and punching. Nnyl swung, only for Lynn to dodge and strike from behind. Effective until Nnyl performed a leg sweep and dropped Lynn on the ground. Nnyl went dirty and kicked her repeatedly. The seventh kick was prevented when Lynn calculated it correctly, blocked and had Nnyl go off balance as well, and then bounced back up to strike her clone in the gut before falling. She tried again to pin Nnyl down, this time out of commission, but was met with a crippling kick to her lower jaw, which sent blood flying through the air and onto Nnyl's suit. Any harder and Lynn's neck would have snapped, making for an instant death. But Lynn was defeated again by the clone, and Nnyl hadn't even used the reptilian abilities, apart from the one time.

"Is that it? Thought you'd put up more of a fight!" Nnyl hoped.

Lynn spat out blood, stumbling about. The strike had made her lightheaded enough to lose balance. "I- I can keep going... I have to keep going..."

"You... Are willing to make this a death match?" Lynn raised her fists again to the puzzled Nnyl.

"Are you willing to kill me to guarantee win? Even when I'm-" She dripped blood again, coughing. "-B-barely able to-" Lynn tried to hand another hit at the clone, but was moving drastically slower now that Nnyl didn't even need to rapidly evade it. Lynn only stumbled forward, falling from putting all her strength into the extending punch. "Kuh!"

"I thought I broke your legs," Nnyl solely recalled. "The plan was to make you suffer by leaving you crippled, but it seems you still have your advanced healing properties."

"Is that a yes?" Lynn was at it again, trying to tackle the red-eyed blonde this time. Nnyl humored the eager brunette by allowing her this. They both fell, with Nnyl going down first. Lynn triumphed for a second only to get kicked again, this time in the vagina and in the stomach. "Uccck!" Lynn groaned, falling shamefully on her knees. "I'll-I'll keep fighting you for this."

"And you'll keep losing to me, Lynn. What kinda loser would you be with a bad luck streak?"

"There's no such luck... Go on, Lynnette. If you're really aiming to prove you're truly the best, then do it! Kill me! Kill me, or I won't stop coming after you! I could have missing legs and I'd still try to defeat you, I won't accept loss!"

"Your death will only guarantee a faster victory for me, Lynn. I'd like to toy with you as long as I can, but if you have a death wish, then who am I to say no to mother?" Nnyl raised a hand, readying the kill move. "The last good speedster alive!"

Lynn remained still, seemingly accepting her death. But really, the brunette had a final card to play against Nnyl. Lynn started it off with a laugh, just as Nnyl was one inch away from killing Lynn. "I- I just realized I can't die yet! I can't!"

"Oh, change of heart already?" Nnyl found pleasure with Lynn's indecisiveness. "Too easy. Tell me why?"

Lynn pulled her closer, and leaned her own head into the clone's ear, whispering something. And that made Nnyl's eyes flare up wide open. The words had actually touched her, a real blue to her own emotions. "N-no! Y-you're lying! You've had all the time to-"

"I've never went there, and you know I'm not lying about before your creation. What makes you think I could've at anytime after you were brought to life?" Lynn had succeeded, managing to break her temporarily. "He'd be so disappointed in what you've become, Lynnette!"

Nnyl was shifting her head all over the place, figuring out what to do from here. "N-no... I- He-"

"Do you want to take that away from me? From... Yourself?" Even so, Lynn was not fully sure thus could work, seeing as Nnyl was more of a monster up to this point. This opened the possibility that it wasn't too late for her, and that was the part of Lynn that would begin to overwhelm her. She was happy with the results. "There is still time to go! You can stop this, help us turn in the Agency goons, and then..."

Nnyl was tearing up as Lynn went on. "Only then can we both finally visit the grave of the man who raised me for the rest of my teenage years!" That would be a promise Lynn intended to keep, should Nnyl say-

"No..." It was her hard answer, and Lynn's rising hope dank back down to what it realistically was. "That's not me... I'm not you, Lynn, I'm someone else entirely. Th-these memories... They're not my own-" But she looked like she wanted to cry. That's where Lynn made the incorrect assumption.

"Then why are you...?"

"Because... I went to his grave already..."

The graveyard was desolate in the cold dawn of a brand new day. No wind made a noise, but the birds were chirping out their common natural songs as they flew around and above the trees in the cemetery. Nnyl felt the coldness of the most grass through her suit's soles, developing a quick case of the sniffles as she was looking around for the name.

Tyler Thompson. That was he who had died of an illness too early in young Lynn's life. One of only a hsndful of people who ever meant so much to Lynn. To Lynn, not her. Not Nnyl. But she came anyway, because, in spite of her not being the one true Lynn, she felt she had to. Only... She couldn't bring herself to properly pay her respects, as much as she actually wanted to. It was Lynn's place to do that, and so, Nnyl surrendered her share of words grant it for Lynn.

"I don't get to say I miss him, because it wasn't me he took in. It would've... Been wrong of me to share that."

Lynn grew to a calm, gently trying to reach out to the one inside Nnyl. "But you're a part of me, and it was okay for you to visit him. I'd allow it, Lynnette. Trust me, I really would have. I know that... It must hurt you... And since you came into my life, I hoped that we'd go together over there... I'm still afraid and sad to go by myself, but maybe it's the Luna traits you've got that made it easier for you. At least that's what I think... Luna... More confident, more stronger..."

Nnyl looked down to the ground. "Really? You would have?"

"Yes, I would have." Lynn slowly hugged her. "We can stop this, Lynnette. We can stop this, together. Right here, right now."

Nnyl broke herself free, stepping away from Lynn. "I can't... I have to do this. I have to win... I have to beat you..."

"What? N-no... You don't have to. You don't need to!" Lynn developed the same teary-eyed look as Nnyl had, but only more than the clone. "What is it that makes you want to kill all the phenos?! Us, the entire Loud family?! I don't understand it, so make me see it! Make me see what you see!"

She simply shook her head, unbelieving of Lynn being able to see what she saw. And what Nnyl saw was herself, a complete and total loser, primarily created to actually be superior over her two biological mothers, which she didn't know before. She had been raised and trained by Lynn and the Agency, and all was well until the day came when she found that she was going to be the tertiary weapon of choice. It made her angry, it made her berserk. It made her desperate for different results. She killed a pheno, but they put her away in a jar rather than commending her. And it looked like the game was rigged. If so, she knew she'd have to changed the game on her own terms. Change the game, be the winner. Change the game... By cheating and shifting the rules so that no one could be able to win. And all because she had never been awarded, praised, victorious among them in her life. All these memories of Lynn having won many trophies in her life, many fights against a lot of individuals, and more- How could the clone compete with that?

The matter of the truth was that Nnyl was still insecure, and the disappointment in failing again has led her up to this moment. She'd win. She'd win by killing those in the lead of the race, and prove that she was the one and only ultimate soldier the Agency had to offer. Even if they were actually targeting her as well. Her mission would end when she saw it through, and that also accounted for her to kill Lynn. Kill... Lynn... The only way to win.

Being told that Lynn had yet to visit Thompson's grave had made her stop to consider it. She had to win, just once. At least once.

"What is it all for?! What will you get out of winning?!"

And that was when Nnyl really broke into tears. "Just one big victory..."

"This isn't the only way to win... We can both win by stopping this to spare the innocent lives... P-please... We can reroute all phenos to attack the Agency and we'll come up with something. We will get out of this, I promise!" Lynn extended a hand out for Nnyl to reach. "Please, Lynnette!"

"I... Can't!" Nnyl had already made up her mind. She revealed her sharp teeth and bit hard into Lynn's neck. She closed her eyes, unsuited to see the person who had truly ever care for her begin to pass right before her. Nnyl made it painless and ripped out a chunk of Lynn's throat. She ran, fleeing away from the dying brunette, taking Liberty with her.

Lynn lay dying, gagging and trying to stop the bleeding. Her rapid healing had already slowed down enough from over the years that there was no walking away from this one alive. It seemed death was finally here. Death, delivered by the one person she wanted to call a true daughter. The scenery was blurring out, switching over into a ray of dazzling white light.

The white light kept going brighter and brighter. Lynn wasn't ready to go just yet. She'd miss out on her new nephew growing up, all the birthdays they'd throw. All the festives and holidays to celebrate, without her.

Who would she meet again? Who would she-

"It's time to come home, Lynn..." The silhouette, just one, appeared to welcome her into the gateway of heaven.

She blinked, she hesitated.

The recognizable person with the firm voice of the dead brother reached out a hand. "We've been waiting..."

Lynn's mouth dropped in awe, hesitating to accept the calling. "L-Linc... Lincoln!"

And right before she made her choice, one literal second before she could take the grasp of his hand, the white light shifted back into focus, with the silhouette vanishing right as quickly as it showed up. "Lincoln? Lincoln!"

She came back to, still twitching from her wounds. "L-Lincoln..."

"It's not your time yet, Lynn," came the voice of a stranger who held a syringe in her hands. Lynn got a good look at her savior, a girl in an orange tank top and blue jeans shorts, sporting the Linka Loud custom look, and even had the white hair to go along with that. White hair, and a green beanie that covered it up. "Not yet."

The serum that entered through Lynn's body did it's primary job of closing in the large, bloody wound on her throat. She had lost enough blood by then, but the serum was also recuperating on the missing blood cells that exited her body. "Who-?" She gagged out blood before finishing

"Save the talking there, speedy," Lina suggested, helping Lynn back up. "Follow them!"

"Wait, why- Why do you look like-?" They were rudely interrupted by a young pheno with ugly vomit-green wings, completely barefoot, revealing talons rather than regular feet.

"I got this! Go, Lynn!" The Linka fangirl made a jump. Right before landing, her white shoes did a weird thing. It was like they activated a hologram, maybe a shield or something. Lynn blinked, squinting, believing her mind was playing tricks on her.

The new white-haired girl had activated a silver hoverboard through her shoes. An advanced piece of technology, no doubt. Just who was this short girl? And where did she come from?

The girl engaged the pheno with a bonus submachine gun feature that was installed on her hoverboard, leaving Lynn more confused. "GET GOING, I KNOW WHAT NOT TO DO!"

"Uh, right!" Lynn turned to her current obligation once more, racing away to follow Liberty's blood trail. Whatever was gonna happen, it had to come out their way. Her way, Linka's way, and Lupa's way. None for Nnyl, not even this. The next time she'd see Nnyl, she'd have to best her. Try to. No, not try to. Lynn had been holding back. Now that she knew Nnyl wouldn't stop...

...No need to hold back.

AN: Part two of... I don't know how many chapters this will be. Not like I plan it all and divide it into parts. Oh, no, it's circling in my brain, just like the new fic; the third entry of the 2026 series. Welp, I can't help myself from keeping it up, but I'm totally clearing the board this time for the third one. None of the main characters will be present for that one, so you could guess without end on who's in it and what I'll bring to the table. Of course, I aim it to be about twenty chapters or so. Just a short fic, the first one to start off the next year. Hue, just when it looks like the end... I find a way.
