A/N: Hello all!
Okay, so this story is gonna be a bit of a different one.
Here's why; I'm bringing in a different OC to this Loud House story, and it's gonna be supernatural/adventure/horror/scientific and some romance in this too. But you'll have to see who it's with. ;D
Anyway, you'll find out why it's all those categories.
This will bring in a made up company called the 'The Dark Company'. It's an organization that I personally modeled after from one of my favorite action movies; Hitman. It shows how highly trained assassins that specialize in unarmed, armed combat, are sent on missions in different countries and are tasked with taking out contracts, kinda like Agent 47, except I'm not stealing anything from Hitman. I'll be using my own info. Trust me. *winks*
This will also bring in Dark and Light Magic, kinda like from DC Universe, except it'll be different.
Alright, this OC I'm bringing in will be a mentor to Lincoln in this story. And this will be set around 2023 when Lincoln is 18. My OC will be a master Assassin/Mercenary and will be only 30 years old.
Okay; enough of the chingwag (means talking), I will see you…AT THE BOTTOM!
It was a lovely Friday morning on June 2nd, 2023, and Lincoln was sleeping in since he had just graduated from High School only 2 weeks ago. He was in his new pajamas that he had just gotten for his 18th birthday, and he was happy too. He was close to buying his first car as well, and he was only 300 dollars away from getting it. Lynn Jr had gone off to college and Lincoln was able to do college online as long as he helped the family out. Lincoln was still friends with Clyde, Rusty, Stella, Liam, Zack, Girl Jordan, Paige and even Lori's friends too. Lincoln had also kept his body in shape ever since he was 12. Thanks to his training with Lynn, he had a 4 pack on his body and some muscles on his biceps, triceps and quads.
He had also gotten his first degree black belt in Karate and Kickboxing when he turned 14, and it was all thanks to Lynn who pushed him to his all time limit. He was pretty good at defending himself when it was needed, but he still needed to practice more and more.
It was close to 9am and Lincoln's alarm was a few minutes from going off. As soon as it hit 9am, the alarm went off, waking Lincoln instantly.
Groaning, he reached over towards the nightstand and shut off the raging alarm. Lincoln had moved into Lori and Leni's room when he turned 14, and since his parents thought it was time for him to get his own space. After the alarm was shut off, Lincoln got up and wiped his eyes of the sleep crust before getting his stuff ready for a shower.
Lincoln had also changed his clothing style a bit when he turned 15 and was happy that he did. He kept getting told that the orange shirt and blue jeans were getting too out of date. So, he switched to wearing a blue henley, black jeans and black tennis shoes.
After he took his shower, Lincoln got dressed and went downstairs to get some breakfast before seeing his dad watching TV with the 13-year-old twins.
"Morning Lincy." Lola said as she turned to see her older brother.
"Hey." Lincoln said as he turned to the kitchen and went to get some food.
Lincoln found a plate with aluminum foil covering it; it had a great smell and showed to be chocolate chip waffles, eggs and bacon. Smiling, he sat down at the kitchen table and began to eat his breakfast. After he ate his breakfast, Lincoln went to Clyde's house to hang out and play video games while the day passed by.
Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Royal Woods
A blacked out semi-truck with a large container on the back was sitting on the side of the road while there was a whole computer system in the container. It looked to be a hacking computer system that also had ways to look up anyone or anything in the world. There was one man who was in his late 20's sitting at the computer, who was wearing glasses used for reading and a white dress shirt, a black dress vest, black dress shoes and a nice tie. He had a Low Fade haircut that was brown, blue eyes and stood 5-foot-9.
"I'm still trying to find the perfect candidate, boss." The computer tech said in a geeky voice.
Behind him was a man who stood 6-foot-1, had green eyes, had a Flowing Medium haircut, an athletic build and was wearing some sort of dark blue clothing, with a large but long blue over coat that he called a robe, wrist bracers on his wrists and was wearing brown medieval boots. He also had a hood attached to the robe as well.
"Good. Keep looking, Harry." The man said in an A3 Octave vocal range. It was kind of deep, but sweet to hear.
Harry nodded and kept doing his computer magic while the boss; Keith Dominic Moore, stood back and watched.
After a few minutes, some results came onto the computer screen. "I got something boss." Harry said as Keith looked at the monitor and saw the results.
"Lincoln Loud. Has 9 siblings, is the only male sibling and looks to be the peacekeeper between the kids." Keith said as he heard Harry make a noise of confirmation.
"Yep. He also is a 1st degree black belt in Karate and Kickboxing too. That's a start. But I'm wondering how many times his parents must've fucked in order to have those many-OW!" Harry said before yelping as Keith backhanded him across the face.
"We must not be disrespectful towards the family. I will need to interview Lincoln and introduce him to the Dark Company. I think he is…the one." Keith said as he began to walk out of the container.
As Keith walked to the Royal Woods sign, he heard Harry from behind him. "Boss! You're gonna wanna hear this!" Harry said, still clutching his cheek that met Keith's hand.
"What is it?" Keith asked while still looking at Royal Woods from where he stood.
Harry walked up to him and presented him with a piece of paper that looked to be a birth certificate.
"This says that this Loud boy just turned 18 on the 2nd of May. So, he can legally leave home and join the Company." Harry said as Keith smirked softly.
"You are correct, Harry. Shall we go to the Loud residence tomorrow and recruit this young man?" Keith asked as he faced his computer geek.
All Harry could do was smile and nod. "Good. Now, let's gather the Suburban. We'll leave tomorrow at 8am." Keith said as they began to get stuff ready.
Later at the Loud House
It was 4pm by the time Lincoln had gotten back from Clyde's house. He always had fun at his best friend's house. The moment he walked in, he smelled something good cooking; he didn't recognize the smell, but damn it smelled good.
Lincoln walked into the kitchen to see his parents cooking. "Hey guys. Whatcha cooking?" Lincoln asked as his father turned towards him and smiled.
"It's a recipe I found. It's a Chicken Enchilada Casserole. And it's almost done too. Why don't you gather the girls and we'll eat soon." Lynn Sr said as Lincoln went to do so.
They all ate and talked at the table while Lincoln could've sworn he felt someone watching him earlier in the day.
The next day was June 3rd, Saturday, 2023, and Lincoln had woken up to the smell of food cooking in the kitchen. It was close to 9am when everyone had their breakfast and before they heard a knock on the door. Everyone looked at the front door and wondered who it was.
"Coming!" Lynn Sr said as he went to the front door and opened it to 2 men; one of the men stood 6-foot-1 and was wearing blue clothing while the other stood 5-foot-9. "Morning sir. My name is Keith Moore and I'm the head founder of a company that trains young men to become highly trained security operators. And judging by this profile of a young man that my colleague found, I'm intrigued to ask him myself, if that's okay with you." Keith said before Harry showed Lynn Sr the profile on the laptop.
As soon as Lynn Sr saw the name on the profile, his eyes widened a bit; he saw Lincoln's name and information. "That's my son. What does this have to do with him?" Lynn Sr asked as Keith smiled.
"I'd like to bring him into my company and train him. The reason why is we've studied him for the past 2 nights and learned that he is a 1st degree black belt in Karate and Kickboxing. Is that correct?" Keith asked as Lynn Sr nodded gently.
"So, I'd actually like to speak with him. Is that okay with you?" Keith asked as Lynn Sr turned to call for Lincoln.
"Lincoln, come here please!" Lynn Sr called out as they waited for Lincoln.
Lincoln appeared and saw the two men outside the front door. "Who're they, dad?" Lincoln asked as Keith spoke up.
"You must be Lincoln, correct?" Keith asked as Lincoln nodded before the 30-year-old man stuck out his hand for Lincoln to shake.
The two shook hands before Keith started off again. "Lincoln, I run an international company that specializes in training people to become security operators and take on jobs everywhere in the world. You'd have a roof over your head, food on your plate, good clothes on your back and brothers and sisters by your side to fight if needed. And judging by your martial arts information, you're pretty good at defending yourself." Keith said as Lincoln smiled gently.
"Thanks. I got my Kickboxing black belt a few years ago and I still practice to this day." Lincoln said as Keith got straight to the point.
"The reason why I'm asking you is I heard you're now 18, which means you can accept this offer by yourself. So…are you interested in taking this step?" Keith asked as Lincoln had a look on his face that confused Keith.
"I'm not sure. Can I have some time to think about this offer?" Lincoln asked as Keith smiled.
"Of course. Take all the time you need. When you think of a decision, please call me on this number." Keith said as he gave Lincoln a card that had a number on it and Keith's name.
"Thanks. I'll give you a call when I make up my mind." Lincoln said as Keith and his colleague turned back and left.
After Lynn Sr shut the door, he looked at Lincoln and put on a stern face. "Lincoln, go into mine and your mother's room. We'll be there in a bit. Please." Lynn Sr said as Lincoln nodded and did as he was told.
Lincoln went into his parent's room and waited by sitting on the bed before seeing his parents enter the room. "Am I in trouble?" Lincoln asked as his parents looked at him in shock.
"No! Of course not. We're just curious of what your decision to Mr. Moore might be." Lynn Sr said as Lincoln sighed.
"I know why you brought me in here for. You're saying that I'll become a mercenary, when mercs and operators are a bit different. At least how Keith told me. Mercs are usually hired by someone and they're not a pack of brothers or sisters and don't have a roof to sleep under. This would be different if I'm being honest." Lincoln said as he looked at his parents.
After letting their son's words sink in, they looked at each other before back at the 18-year-old. "So, what's your decision?" Rita asked as Lincoln smiled gently at her.
"I'm gonna join Keith's company. It'll help me find clarity and become a better man. I also wanna better my fighting skills and also create more team building skills." Lincoln said as he got up.
"Well, we wish you good luck with that, honey." Rita said as Lincoln hugged both of them.
Later that night, Lincoln was laying in his bed when he pulled out his phone and put in Keith's number from the card and called it. After waiting a bit, he heard a familiar voice on the other end.
"Hello?" It was Keith, and he was surprised to hear the call come in.
"Is this Keith Moore?" Lincoln asked as he heard the man chuckle on the other side.
"Yes it is. This must be Lincoln, correct?" Keith asked as Lincoln smiled on his end.
"Yep. And I've made my decision." Lincoln replied as he smiled wide.
"Oh? And what's the final verdict?" Keith asked as Lincoln kept smiling.
"I'm ready to join. I'll do whatever it takes to be the best of the best." Lincoln said as he heard Keith chortle on the other side.
"Splendid. Shall I pick you up tomorrow?" Keith asked as Lincoln was excited on the inside.
"How does 10am sound?" Lincoln asked as he heard Keith check the time on his side.
"Sounds good. I'll see you tomorrow, Lincoln." Keith said before hanging up for the night.
After getting off the phone, Lincoln put his phone on the charger before hitting the sack.
The night went through fast before Lincoln got up at 8am and did his morning routine; which was a good 45 minute workout, a shower, getting dressed and eating breakfast. As Lincoln walked down the stairs, he got a text from a number saw a familiar name; it was Keith.
Don't worry about clothes. We'll provide you with them along with bathroom essentials. Also, make sure you've eaten, we've got a long flight ahead of us. –Keith
Lincoln smiled after he saw the message and went to the kitchen to eat breakfast. As he grabbed his food, he saw the little ones blocking his path and sporting angry looks on their faces.
"Why are you accepting this offer, Lincoln?" Lola asked as Lincoln sighed.
"I think this offer will help me become a better man and find clarity. Trust me. Okay?" Lincoln said before Lily spoke up.
"Will you still stay in contact with us?" Lily asked as Lincoln got on one knee and smiled.
"I'm sure Mr. Moore will let me video call you every now and then." Lincoln said before pecking his baby sister's forehead.
The girls finally gave in and accepted what Lincoln was doing, even though it was odd.
After breakfast, Lincoln went to watch TV in the living room for a while. Before long, it was 5 minutes to 10am, and Lincoln was ready to go. After waiting for a bit, he heard a knock on the door.
"Coming." Lincoln said out loud as he went to open the front door.
As soon as he did, there stood Keith in his usual outfit. "Ready to go, Lincoln?" Keith asked as Lincoln smiled.
"Yep. Just let me gather everyone out here." Lincoln said before going to gather everyone in the living room.
After doing so, Lincoln said his goodbyes to everyone.
"Take care, honey. Call us when you can." Rita said before hugging her son.
"I will." Lincoln said before doing the same with Lynn Sr.
Lincoln then went to hug the girls from Lucy to Lily.
"Bye big brother. Bring back some blood for me please." Lucy said as Lincoln just shook his head and hugged her.
Then, Lincoln hugged the twins and smiled at them.
"Bye Lincoln." The twins said in unison before smiling at him.
Then, it was Lisa's turn.
"I wish you best of luck, elder brother. Please be careful on these dangerous assignments." Lisa said in her lisp before getting hugged.
Lastly, it was Lily's turn.
"Bye Lincy. I'll miss you." Lily said as Lincoln kissed her cheek with tender care and hugged her.
Before long, Lincoln finally left with Keith in the suburban. The two got in and Keith drove it to a small airport in the countryside where a small jet waited for them.
"So, where's the facility at?" Lincoln asked as Keith chuckled.
"We have hundreds of facilities. 5 in South America, 5 in Canada, 4 in Africa, 3 in the United Kingdom, 10 in Europe and 4 in Asia. And the one we're going to is in Moscow, Russia." Keith said as Lincoln was shocked, but understood to what he had signed up for.
They got into the small jet and were off into the sky in minutes.
The jet didn't arrive in Moscow until close to 11pm, and Lincoln was exhausted from the journey. The jet touched down on the runway before Keith and Lincoln got off and were taken to facility just outside Moscow's city limits.
As Keith drove, Lincoln looked all around and drank in the scenery; it was amazing being in a different country. They arrived at a big facility like building that looked to be 10 stories high.
They pulled up to a guard gate and the guard stopped Keith before smiling.
"Welcome back, Mr. Moore. Who's the kid?" The guard said in a strong Russian accent, but in English.
"It's the new candidate. Is that a problem, Nikolai?" Keith asked as the Russian widened his eyes and shook his head.
"No! Of course not, sir. I was just curious." Nikolai replied as Keith nodded before the Russian opened the gate for Keith.
Keith drove the car into the underground garage and parked it before getting out with Lincoln.
"So, when does the training start?" Lincoln asked as Keith chuckled at the 18-year-old.
"We start in 1 week. I just want you to get familiar with the facility first." Keith said as they entered the elevator and it went up to the main floor.
As they reached the main floor, the elevator door opened and Lincoln saw how clean and amazing the lobby was; it looked very modern and futuristic.
Keith escorted Lincoln around the main floor; he took him to the infirmary, chow hall, science lab, the shooting range, and even Keith's office. After Keith showed him around, he took him to the dorms for where every other Assassin slept.
"Here is your room, Lincoln." Keith said as he opened the door to show Lincoln the room was 190 square feet of space. It had a full size bed, 2 nightstands on both sides, a wooden vintage trunk at the end of the bed, an L-shaped desk and an entertainment center with a nice 32' inch TV on it.
"This is very nice. Thanks Keith." Lincoln said with a smile before Keith put on a stern face, confusing Lincoln.
"Lincoln, I need to be honest with you. Okay?" Keith said before sighing softly.
Oh boy, I hope I didn't do anything to piss him off, Lincoln thought.
"I want to let you know that the training here will be vigorous and that we won't be sugar coating anything. Understand?" Keith said as Lincoln nodded softly.
After that, Keith smiled gently. "Now, I did promise you'll have contact with your family as long as you're here. So, a good laptop will be provided to your dorm here while you're at training." Keith said before leaving Lincoln to get some sleep.
It was Saturday, June 3rd, and a lovely day in Russia when Lincoln woke up early to get ready for breakfast in the chow hall.
Lincoln took a shower and got into his clothes from the day before as he went to the chow hall to meet up with Keith. After finding the chow hall, he found Keith waiting there for him.
Lincoln walked into the chow hall and sat at one of the tables with Keith. "Good morning, Lincoln. Ready for breakfast?" Keith asked as Lincoln nodded.
Keith led Lincoln towards the chef's section to where the young 18-year-old could grab some fresh made breakfast. Lincoln was given scrambled eggs, hash browns, sausage, bacon and toast with orange juice and cranberry juice.
Lincoln went to go eat at the table before Keith sat down with him. "Now Lincoln, I want you to report to my main office after your breakfast. Understood?" Keith asked as Lincoln nodded with respect.
"Good. I'll see you in a bit." Keith said as he patted Lincoln's shoulder gently.
After Lincoln ate his food, he put his dirty tray in the dirty tray pin before reporting to Keith's main office on the top floor. As Lincoln arrived on the floor, he saw a receptionist who appeared to be an African-American woman that was in her mid-30's, had long black hair, diamond earrings in her ears and was wearing a blue Carson Blazer with other dress clothing.
"Excuse me?" Lincoln asked as the woman looked at him.
"Yes?" The woman who went by Chloe looked at Lincoln with a smile.
"Keith's expecting me. Is it okay for me to go in?" Lincoln asked as Chloe nodded.
"Yes. Go right in, cutie." Chloe said as Lincoln opened the Krosswood Double Doors with the lovely design on them and walked in to see Keith sitting at his desk.
"Come in, Lincoln." Keith said with a smile as Lincoln shut the doors and sat down in one of the chairs.
"So, what's up?" Lincoln asked as Keith cleared his throat.
"We'll need to discuss the fighting styles that you'll be training under. Sound good?" Keith asked as Lincoln nodded.
They discussed different fighting styles for a good hour before they settled on Hapkido, Taekwondo, Capoeira, Tang Soo Do, Krav Maga, Muay Thai, Judo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Shurikenjitsu. After they finished, Keith pulled out a bottle of the good old fashioned Jack Daniels Whiskey.
"Want some?" Keith asked as Lincoln thought about it for a bit before smiling and nodding.
"Sure." Lincoln replied as Keith poured two small glasses of the liquor for the both of them. Keith handed Lincoln his glass and the two made a toast before drinking down the strong liquid.
After did so, his throat felt like it was on fire after drinking the liquid, making him cough heavy. Keith just chuckled and handed him a bottle of water to drink.
"There's something else I need to inform you on, Lincoln." Keith said strictly as Lincoln listened carefully.
"We're gonna put you on a strict diet to not just gain more muscles, but to make you one healthy assassin. You'll also work out for 4 days a week, and train in martial arts for the next 2 days before finally taking the last day for yourself. And until I feel like you've earned your beginner's robes, you'll do that until I say you can move on. Understood?" Keith said in an angry but strong tone as it frightened Lincoln, but the white haired young adult just nodded.
"Good. Now why don't you go meet the rest of your new brothers and sisters." Keith said as Lincoln got up and went to the lower floors to meet the other Assassins.
As Lincoln went to the lower floors, there was a single male Assassin that eyed the white haired young adult with pure hatred, and he stood 6-foot-1, had black shaggy hair, had blue eyes, had a toned body and was wearing charcoal grey Assassin Robes. He stared Lincoln down before mumbling something colorful in Russian.
"Ty mertv, amerikanets." The Assassin said before he went to stalk Lincoln.
The words that were mumbled meant 'You're dead, American.'
A/N: And cut!
Now, what did you think of this chapter?
Alright, just to recap, the company is modeled after the 'ICA' from Hitman, but its way different.
Also, the Assassin robes are different than Assassin's Creeds Robes.
And also, I wanna thank Crazymancody895 for helping me proofread this.
And there will be no close weapons attached to the Assassin's wrists; so no Hidden Blade bracers.
The weapons that will be used are modern firearms, throwing knives/shurikens, Bo staff, katanas, poison dart guns, rope launchers, and other weapons.
Okay, I will write chapter 2 soon, but I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
Make sure you leave a review and let me know what the Assassin has in store for Lincoln.
Anyway, I gotta go, but I shall see you in the next chapter…ADIOS AMIGOS!
