Chapter 648.
"Here comes Karen Houseman."
- In collaboration with "Vasmasdas1"
(August 9. Tall Timbers Park.)
After ditching the motorbike and the officers down the high way into town, Karen Houseman has arrived to the Park, and she looks around for any signs of her targets. 'Where the heck are they?' She then readies her knife and the bag she brought with something she made.
She then gets to cover as she spots the shadow of an eagle fly by and the eagle is Patriot and he dives into the lake and grabs a fish. Karen realizes. 'Wait, the eagle is here, and that means….'
Karen sees them, at the picnic benches and all of them enjoying the sandwiches they brought. Lincoln, Jordan, Ryan, Gretchen and Hope and they seem to be talking about something that happened last week. Karen smiles seeing this, but the sight of Gretchen and Hope ticks her off.
'Those traitors. Everything was all good and well when we kept doing what we wanted, and then came the day you two went on their side and broke the gang…' Then she has an idea, and Karen grins. 'Hmm, why should I just kill Lincoln Loud, when clearly I have the whole group right where I want them?'
She looks around and sees if there's anyone else, and it's just this group and no one else around. Karen smiles at this. 'Yes. No Luna, no sisters and no other friends. I can take them, because I fought ten inmates and beat them all up, to a bloody pulp. This'll be too easy for me, even with one eagle flying.'
Karen sneaks back into the tall grass and she goes closer and she listens to what they're saying.
"Alright, so when it's Wednesday, we go to check on Regina and Chastity, right?" asked Gretchen.
"Either that day, or we can go tomorrow" said Hope. "Those two are still in a loving romance with each other, and we should be careful when the potion wears off from their systems."
Ryan then drinks his soda. "Still surprises me that those two were smart enough to make something from scientific facts. Raising the pheromones and changing the course of understanding within the brain, those love potions are just… Dang, I didn't see those coming."
Jordan is concerned about this. "Which then begs the question, who else is coming to get us? We faced Leslie and she was perverted, we encountered Regina and Chastity and those two tried something involving science."
Lincoln nods. "Jordan's right. The former rich and mean posse are trying to come back and bring in some trouble. Leslie, Regina and Chastity, all loyal to each other, and also tempted to get me to like Leslie Silver, that is dark and downright twisted, but what about Karen?"
"He has a good point" said Ryan. "Chances she'll try to do something dangerous, I mean she doesn't even agree with Leslie Silver and her addiction for Lincoln anymore."
"Ya darn right on that, four eyes!" They see a bottle is thrown from the bushes and they scatter on time as the bottle hits the picnic table and a fire has started, then someone comes out from the bushes.
Hope and Gretchen are shocked to see who it is. "Karen Houseman?!"
Karen snickers. "Yeah, that's right… I'm here, to end all of you!" Then she throws a net and Patriot is ensnared and tied to a tree, and he struggles to break free.
Karen then throws more of her own improvised fire bombs and the Park is now ignited with fire, and this makes the animals and Pokémon scatter from the attack and most of the water-types go to the lake and they spray some of the water out. Patriot breaks free and flies off, he tries to fly back to help, but there's too much smoke.
The group looks to Karen who has her knife ready. "I am going to do what Leslie was too weak and pathetic to even attempt, killing all of you, and starting with Lincoln Loud!"
Karen charges at them, but they back off and then Jordan grabs her arms and tries to go for the knife, but this makes Karen smirk. "Really? I learned to fight!" She head-butts Jordan, and then kicks her off, she attempts to stab her, but then Hope attacks from behind and grabs her.
"You're weak!" Karen then grabs Hope and then stabs her on the left arm and then throws her to the ground, and then she steps on Hope's ankle. Then she sees Gretchen and she smirks. "The first traitor!" She goes after her.
But then Ryan grabs some dirt and throws it towards Karen's face, this blinds Karen and she begins to swipe at anything around her. Ryan goes in to grab the knife, but he's cut to his chest, it's not a deep cut but there is a scar.
"No!" Gretchen then takes a stone and she throws it to Karen, and this hits the girl on the shoulder and Karen drops the knife, and then Gretchen attacks her, but Karen gets the dirt off of her eyes and she pins Gretchen.
"You can't beat me anymore, loser! This is my time and soon, my town!" Karen then kicks Lincoln away and Karen grabs the knife and she stabs Gretchen on her arm, and then tries to stab her again, but then Lincoln tackles her and they're rolling onto the ground.
They're now separated and they get up and look to each other, and then Jordan stands with her boyfriend, with the fire still going around them. Karen looks to Lincoln and growls. "Everything… Everything was going so great, and that this damned town would've been ours!"
"But then she saw you, you are the sole reason why the group we had was shattered, and why our parents don't even see us as their own anymore! You broke the group we had, and now I will end you and your girlfriend, I will be the one to have killed Lincoln Loud and Jordan Rosato!"
Lincoln and Jordan are unfazed by this and the duo hold hands. "Together, we can beat you, and you won't win."
Karen then charges at them. Lincoln ducks and Jordan kicks Karen in the face, and then Lincoln grabs the hand with the knife, but Karen punches him away. Jordan then elbows Karen in the back and then she pins her to the ground.
Lincoln goes over, but Karen knocks Jordan away and then she tackles Lincoln and then she begins to punch him, but Lincoln grabs both of her fists and then he kicks her away. Karen is knocked near her knife and she tries to grab it.
But Jordan kicks it away and then she hits Karen with a large stone, Karen is hurt but she tries to get up and she goes for another item from her bag, only for Lincoln to grab the knife and throw it at Karen and the girl is hit at the back of her left leg and she goes down.
Jordan then sees Patriot flying in, with the net in his talons. "Heads up!" She gets out of the way and the Karen is snared by her own net and she falls to the ground and rolls down the hill.
Karen is then sent into the water, and she struggles to get out of the net and the lake. Then Bernardo swims into the water and he drags her out, and they see Karen trying to get out, and then Michelle arrives and kicks her in the face and Karen Houseman is out cold.
Michelle looks to the others. "The cops, paramedics and firefighters are on their way." They all sigh in relief and watch as some of the water-type Pokémon are putting out some of the flames.
(Later.)
Firefighter's help put out the rest of the fire and search for anything or anyone else who may have been harmed by the flames, and an ambulance has arrived to bring Ryan, Hope and Gretchen to the hospital.
Lincoln, Jordan and Michelle along with Patriot and Bernardo watch this happen, and then they see Karen being put into a cop car after her wounds were tended, and Lincoln and Jordan know one thing.
'Karen Houseman is a new problem, and that makes her dangerous and possibly worse than Leslie and her old gal pals. This might not be over.' Then they see other cars arrive and they're family has arrived to check on them, Luna is the first to check if they're feeling alright.
Karen looks out the window and she looks to the Louds all checking on Lincoln and Jordan and this makes her angry. 'This is just the beginning, I will come back and end you all! This isn't over!'
To be continued…
A/N: That was one intense and near deadly attack, and in the hands of someone who hates Leslie Silver and everyone else after what she wants. They still need to check on Regina and Chastity soon. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
The next chapter will be posted on August 11.
Thank you "Vasmasdas1" for the idea and concept of Karen Houseman coming back for revenge, this has been a real good help and you came up with something intense, and nearly deadly.
