Two days had passed since Lynn left home, two days since she made the decision to never be around Lincoln again. Did that mean she would not come if called to protect her little brother, her crush? Of course not, Lynn would rush with the speed of lightning to come to his aide, and that was all she was going to consider herself to be. His protector, but from a distance. She considered herself too volatile, too full of pride to be the kind of girl he needed. As loathed as she was to admit it, any of her other sisters would be a perfect match for Lincoln. They adored him, they wanted to be there for him, and they could protect him.
He doesn't need someone who can hurt him…or who treats him like shit, she thought.
So, here she was, on a tabletop mountain somewhere in the Guiana Highlands. Why here? Seemed just as good as any spot as far as Lynn was concerned, distance was not going to be an issue. Lynn's power allowed her to fly at incredible speeds, so she could be back in Royal Woods within the blink of an eye if she so wished.
He's probably dating the twins right about now. I know they're not going to do separate dates. Those two already said they're going to both be his girlfriends. Tch, good luck with that. I give it three minutes before they're at each other's throats for his attention. After that, only Lisa is left. Hope that little nerd can show him a good time…Lynn sat up. NOT THAT GOOD A TIME, hopefully…
Just then, Lynn sensed something. She got into a fighting stance as she whipped around and readied herself for battle. A portal of darkness opened, and from this portal exited Lori and…
"Lincoln?!" Lynn exclaimed. The red warrior turned her back to them and said, "How the hell did you find me? Wait, never mind, Lucy or Lisa, right?"
"You didn't think that we'd honestly lose track of you? Did you?" Lori asked rhetorically.
"I asked Lucy to make a locator spell and had her portal us directly to you," said Lincoln.
Lynn glanced over her shoulder, at her crush, her heart skipped a beat, but she quickly averted her gaze. "Shouldn't you be on your date with Lisa today?"
"He hasn't dated anyone else, yet," said Lori.
Lynn's eyes widened as she turned around to face them. "WHAT?! Why the hell haven't you?!"
Lincoln stepped forward and replied, "Do you really think I can just go out on dates when one of my sisters ran away from home?"
Lynn looked down at the ground as she clenched her fists. "I did it to protect you, Lincoln. I'm not good for you…not after everything I've done…You deserve someone better than me…so, please just go back home and have your dates already!" Lynn shifted her gaze over to Lori as she furrowed her brow. "I can't believe you told him I was gone!"
Lori crossed her arms over her chest as she gave a deadpan stare at her little sister. "Did you literally think he wasn't going to notice that one of his cosmic powered sisters was gone? Or that she skipped out on date? A girl who stole a kiss from him and professed her love? Yeah, no waaaay that would go unnoticed."
Lynn blushed. "Okay, fine, but I told you why I was leaving!"
"And I told Lincoln. This is his decision, Lynn."
Lincoln took another step forward. "Lynn, there's no way I'm going to just leave you out here. Even with your powers, I don't like it that we're not altogether. So, that's why I want you to come back home."
Lynn felt her heart skipping beats again, but she ignored it, she had to. "Lincoln…after everything I've done…what I could do to you…I'm doing this for the both of us. I'll just hurt you if we're together…and the last thing I want is to hurt you, again." Lynn turned around, walked to the edge of the mountain, and sat down with her legs dangling over the edge. "Just go back home and have your dates with the others, it's not nice to keep a girl waiting."
Lincoln furrowed her brow. "Always stubborn as all get-out. Fine. Guess we're on to plan B."
Just then, a beam of light struck Lynn in the back of the head, nearly knocking her over the edge of the mountain.
Angry, Lynn whirled around and yelled, "LORI, YOU BITCH! WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!"
Lori shook her head. "Oh no, that wasn't me."
Lynn glanced to her left, and that's when she saw it. Lincoln's right arm was covered in an orange and white armored gauntlet. His palm was pointed up as a diamond shaped module in the center of the palm glowed. "L-Lincoln…? No…No, no, no! You guys let him use the Black Vortex?!"
"No, we didn't."
Just then, Lynn noticed something glowing under his shirt. The gauntlet disappeared from Lincoln's arm as he began taking off his shirt, making Lynn blush a little. And upon his chest was a triangle shaped glowing module that was adhered to his skin. Lori took his shirt and stepped back. Lincoln tapped the module two times in succession, and immediately, orange, and white nano machines poured from the sides of the module, completely coating his small body from head to toe. When it was done, Lincoln was covered in orange and white armor. There were more diamond shaped modules, two on his shoulder pads, one at his forehead where the horn crest met, two on his knees, and two on his forearms. The chest plate, gauntlets, boots, shoulder pads, and helmet were colored orange, while the biceps, thighs, and face plate were colored white. The eyes were blue colored and shined brighter in tandem with the power module at the chest.
He now stood as tall as Lynn, her equal in height. {If you won't come back home. Then I guess we're going to have a fight!} Lincoln stated as she smacked his fist into the palm of his left hand, causing a metal clanging sound as he did.
Okay, that armor looks cool, and hot. Lynn shook her head of those thoughts as she went back to being surprised by the armor. "Okay, Linc, just take a minute and think about this. You're not going to really fight me, are you?"
{I didn't just put this armor on just because it looks cool,} he replied. Then he thought about for a moment. {Okay, maybe ten percent the reason why I put it on. But I think it's high time we settled things, once and for all. You and me, Lynn. The fight that we always needed to have!}
Lynn looked over at Lori. "So, you guys are going to tag team me then?"
"Oh, I'm just here as a referee, just in case you go overboard. Otherwise, I'm not getting in the middle of this fight," said Lori. "It's your choice, Lynn. You can either fight Lincoln or stand still as he wails on you."
"Look, no offense to Linc, but I'm cosmic powered, even if Lisa made that armor – and I'm sure she did – there's no way – OOMPH!"
Lincoln had sped towards his sister and nailed her in the gut with a right hook. The force and power of the punch sent Lynn flying into the air where she spun out until she released a burst of her own power to stabilize herself.
{I wouldn't underestimate this armor, Lynn! Lori, now!}
Lori reached into her pocket and took out a device, at the same time, the thrusters on Lincoln's feet and back ignited, propelling him at super speed towards Lynn, where he barreled into her. Lori pressed a button on the device she was holding, and right behind the two young Louds appeared a green portal where they both passed through. Lori used her power to rise into the air, "Hope you know what you're doing, Lindsy." With that said, Lori zoomed into the portal after her two siblings.
Lincoln and Lynn exited the portal and ended up…in the exact same place as they were a moment ago. Once Lincoln's HUD told him they were out of the portal, he stopped in midair and let Lynn go.
Lynn looked around in confusion, she knew they had gone through a portal, but everything looked the same. "What just happened?"
{We're in clone dimension, I had Lisa set up a few of these, so we can fight all out in here without worrying about destroying the Earth in the process,} Lincoln explained.
Lynn sighed as she tried to reason with him. "Lincoln, I know I deserve an ass kicking from you, but if you do, I don't know if I can control myself! Fighting just…amps me up! And you saw what happened with our sisters! I don't want to do that to you!"
{Lynn, you're mistake was forgetting that I'm the 'Man with the Plan.'} Suddenly, magic circles appeared around both of Lincoln's hands, both of which were colored black.
Magic circles appeared around Lynn, and from them black construct chains whipped out and wrapped themselves around her ankles and wrists, pulling taut and keeping her splayed in midair. MAGIC?! Since when can he use magic?! The diamond shaped modules started to glow purple as sparks of electricity arced from them. Dark clouds quickly formed over Lynn's position, and in a matter of seconds, a huge column of purple lightning shot down on her, completely obstructing her from view. A great cry was released from within the column as a flash of red light went off, blasting the lightning column away and revealing Lynn in her battle suit. Her body was sizzling from the attack, but she looked otherwise unscathed.
Unfortunately, it didn't end there, azure blasts of light rained down on Lynn. The warrior girl quickly dodged them, launching her own energy blasts to intercept the ones that she could not dodge. Lynn looked up and saw that there were small drones that were flying around and unleashing the barrage upon her from above. The beams that rained down on her hit the ground below, exploding in multiple clusters against, wiping out large portions of the forest below.
"UGH! THAT'S ENOUGH LINCOLN!" Lynn shouted as she swiped her hand through the air and released a crescent wave of energy that shot towards him.
The Power Bits returned and melded into his armor just as Lynn's attack hit him, causing an explosion in the air. Lynn had held back a lot, she figured that that armor was stronger than it looked if it was meant for Lincoln's protection. But she had hoped that the explosion would be enough to deter him from further battle. However, when the smoke cleared, Lynn was once again surprised when she saw a turquoise sphere surrounding him, similar to that of Leni's shield.
Lincoln cocked back his right fist and thrust it forward, and shockingly, his entire arm extended as if it were made of rubber and struck Lynn in the face, sending her hurdling straight into the side of a mountain. Once he retracted his arm, Lisa's Omni Code appeared around the mountain that Lynn had crashed into, and in the next moment, the entire mountain began to swirl around as if it was made of playdough. And once she was completely covered, Lincoln snapped his fingers and made the mountain transform into solid titanium.
The makeshift prison didn't last long as the entire spiraling metal structure had fissures appear, all of them glowing a bright red color as the entire thing shattered apart, sending huge chunks of metal careening into the forest and mountains around them. Lincoln fired his thrusters and quickly closed the distance between him and Lynn, throwing a roundhouse kick with his right leg. Lynn raised her left arm up and blocked the attack, creating a shockwave the rumbled through the sky and earth. Lynn gritted her teeth from the impact, it was strong, stronger than she had expected, just like the punch earlier.
"Since when did you learn how to fight?! And in only two days?!" Lynn questioned.
{You didn't think I spent these last two days sulking, did you? Lisa downloaded some martial arts knowledge into my head and altered my nervous system and muscles to recognize when I wanted to use those moves so I didn't have to think too hard to do them!} Lincoln explained before firing his thrusters again, spinning back around, and nailing Lynn in the face with another roundhouse kick with his left leg.
Lynn was sent sailing, but once again managed to stop herself with a burst of her power. Just then, black magic circles appeared and released jet black magical flames at her from every direction. Lynn released burst wave of her energy, pushing back the flames and shattered the circles.
{I also had Lucy help me with magic. She etched some runes into the armor so I could cast some spells more easily, unfortunately, I'm still a novice and can't pull off any of the crazy things she can do, but with this armor, they're powerful enough!}
Lynn growled angrily as she glared ay Lincoln. "Okay, little bro, you wanna tussle? Let's go!"
{Took you long enough!}
Lincoln was on her in a matter of seconds as he began throwing rapid fire punches at her. Lynn countered with her own barrage of punches, both siblings changing from blocking to punching in the span of mere seconds as multiple concussive shockwaves rang out through the entire area. Lincoln and Lynn cocked back their fists and struck, their fists collided and created an even stronger shockwave that caused the mountains to crumble into huge chunks of rock.
The red warrior girl broke off the attack and made to grab him, however, Lincoln's body suddenly rubberized, allowing him to slip away as he bent his body at an unnatural angle. Allowing him to weave around Lynn and grab her by the legs, he then pulled hard, whipping her up into the air and then slammed her down to the ground below. A massive crater formed on impact, kicking up dirt and debris into the air. Lynn coughed; she was starting to get angry. When she got up, an orange blur ran past her, the blur slowed down and revealed it was Lincoln, his armor havening taken on bestial attributes.
"UGH!" Lynn brough her hands together as she gathered her energy in between them, taking her signature stance as she cried out, "HA!"
A column sized blast of red cosmic ki energy roared towards Lincoln, but he did not run. The entire armor's surface quickly shifted into a diamond-like material, and when it had, he crossed his arms to form an "X" pattern as he planted his feet. The energy wave struck him, but instead of exploding on impact, the diamonds seemed to be absorbing the energy. Lynn cut off her attack and watched as her own energy seemed to be bouncing around the inside of the diamond armor. Lincoln uncrossed his arms as all that energy funneled into the central power module on his chest and was released in a blast twice as big as Lynn's right back at her.
"Oh, SHIT!" Lynn shouted.
She hurriedly dodged the attack as it roared past her. Once it had stopped, Lynn saw that the beam had cut a huge molten groove into the earth, boring through the crumbled mountains until an explosion went off in the distance and made a mushroom cloud appear. Lynn looked back at her little brother, watching as the diamond armor shifted back to its original state, even the bestial features left.
"Magic? Lightning?! Tech?! Power?! Shields?! Rubber body?! Beast form?! Diamond skin?! What kind of crazy suit is that?!" Lynn asked.
{A suit that has all of our sister's abilities. Lori's power, Leni's healing and shielding, Luna's storm and sound power, Luan's power was a bit difficult to replicate, so I got the rubber body. Lucy's magic, Lana's beast power, Lola's diamond skin and reflection power, and Lisa's Omni Code. I can't use it to the same degree as she can, but I can at least alter matter. And that's not all…HAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!}
Lincoln widened his stance as a red aura burst to life around him, causing a flare of white heat to be released from the helmet to mimic hair.
Lynn shook her head. "You mean…my power was included in there?!"
{When I said all of our sisters, I meant all of them, including you, Lynn! It also has countermeasure systems built in to fight each of you. I call it the Loud Buster Armor!} Lincoln proclaimed. {If you don't fight me seriously Lynn, I'm going to kick your ass up and down this dimension! This is the fight you and I have been meaning to have for awhile! And it's happening! Right here! Right now! SO COME ON!}
Lynn, for some reason, could not help but smile. Lincoln's boldness, his confidence, and the strength he was displaying. It was exciting, it was getting her excited. "Yeah…Yeah! Okay, Stinclon! Today, forget that I'm in love with you, and so will I! I'll fight you for real!" Lynn released a loud battle cry as a column of red light shined around her. And when it was over, Lynn's hair had become tomato red, spikey, and glowing. "Limit Breaker! First form!"
Lincoln smiled as well as he got into a fighting stance. {That's what I'm talking about, Lynn!}
Meanwhile, while the two Loud siblings were sizing each other up, Lori was floating on the outer edge of the crater, watching from a distance. In all honesty it took every fiber of her being to not jump down there and stop them. If Lynn got too worked up, she could enter that berserker state again, and end up killing Lincoln. Although Lori would be damned if she was going to allow that to happen on her watch. Just then, a Bluetooth-like device on her ear went off.
{How is it going?}
"Lincoln got in a few good blows. He made it clear that he's not messing around, and Lynn finally took the hint and is about to get serious," Lori explained. "I seriously hate just standing here and acting as a ref."
{It is what our brother requested. This fight is between himself and Lynn.}
"I have to say, you whipped together that armor pretty quick, considering everything that it has built into it,"
{If I may say, the Mk.01 anti-cosmic being assault and defense armor, or as Lincoln has dubbed it: The Loud Buster Armor, was something I have been developing to keep him safe from us. I'm sure you've realized it as well as I have, the Black Vortex has altered our personalities a bit, and since that is the case, there's a slim chance that we may end up hurting the one we love without meaning to.}
Lori nodded her head. "I see, so, at what point did you start making it?"
{Shortly after our conversation with mother and father when Lincoln asked to be sent to Great Lakes City. I understood our parental units' fear for our brother, and I sought to create something that would not only protect Lincoln, but also give him the power to stand against us if we ever went too far with him, or the world. It's a better alternative than letting him submit to the Black Vortex and end up changing forever.}
Lori had to admit, it was a better alternative. If the Black Vortex altered them this much, who knows how much it would change Lincoln. The very qualities they loved about him could be taken away and replaced with something dangerous. At least with the armor, Lincoln had some peace of mind knowing that he had something that put him on par with his sisters, and much to Lori's relief, it would prevent her from worrying about doing something to him.
{I will admit, I had to rush to finish it. I had planned on giving this to Lincoln as a gift on our date, but when he announced his plan to me, I had to complete it posthaste. Mind you that doesn't mean that it's a rush job. It's one-thousand percent combat ready.}
Lori did a double take at that admission. "Wait, what?! You little – you were going to bribe Lincoln with battle armor?! That's literally cheating!"
{There was nothing stipulating giving gifts to our brother. Not among ourselves, and neither was it brought up in Lincoln's dating rules.}
Lori had to admit, Lisa had a point. "Tch, I'll let this one slide since Lincoln's going to need it."
"DUDES, LET ME OUTTA OF THIS BLOODY THING!" Luna shouted.
Luna, Luan, Lola, Leni and Lana had been brought into Lucy's pocket dimension room. Where she was projecting an image of the fighting so far to the Loud sisters who were assembled. Upon being notified of Lincoln's plan, Luna had gasped and was about to leave the dimension, but Lucy used her magic to trap Luna in a sphere of magic. On top of that, Leni added her own near indestructible shields, and for good measure, Luan added in an invisible box thanks to her Toon Force granting her mime powers.
Luna had been wailing at her prison, desperately trying to break free and rush to Lincoln's side. "You guys can't be seriously considering letting this happen! She's going to kill him when she loses control!"
Lola glared at her older siblings and said, "Luna's right! Lynn's such a bully sometimes! It'll be like that horrible night all over again, but a million times worse!"
Lana whimpered upon being reminded of that night. The fight between her big brother and big sister was so savage that it scared her and Lola both. And if Lori and Luna had not interfered, well, Lana doubted Lincoln would have only walked away with a black eye and torn shirt. "Sis is right! Let us out so we can go and help him!"
Lucy released a nonverbal sigh as she looked to her two younger sisters. "I know this may be hard for you to understand, but this is something that Lincoln needs to do. It's a matter of pride for him."
"What?!" they asked together.
"Think about it girls," Luan chimed in. "Lincoln's surrounded by nine cosmic powered sisters who all want to jump his bones. We were all a little much for him before we got powers, now with powers, something like that can weigh on a guy's head. Even someone like Lincoln. Plus, Lynn's been messing with him for a while now, this has been brewing for a bit and it needs to happen. Even if we don't like it…"
"IT'S STILL BOGUS!" Luna retorted. "I promised Lincoln I'd be there for him! That I'd protect him! I'm not about to go back on that!"
"So did I, Luna!" Leni stated. "I promised to be his shield! And right now…I'm here…but that's because he asked us to! And I believe in Linky!"
Luna huffed as she sat down inside of her cell. "I can't believe you're not out there, Lucy! Out of all of us, I can tell, you're like seriously in love with him."
Lucy glanced over at Luna. "Yes, I am. I always have been like all of you. I would die for Lincoln; I am willing to be whatever he wants me to be. His lover, his friend, his sister, his slave, whatever he needs of me, I will make it so. Even if…" Lucy's hands balled up into fists. "Even if my very soul is screaming at me to go and fight by his side. I won't do it! Because above all else, I will respect his decision! That's the very least we can do for him! We're so powerful, we're like living goddesses! Is it so much for beings as powerful as us to just respect the decision of the one who has stolen our hearts?!"
Luna hated to admit it, but Lucy was right. The whole Bad Luck thing more or less happened because they did not. It would be a rehash of that old song. With a reluctant sigh, Luna said, "Alright…you can bring down the cage, dudes. I'll just watch."
Leni, Lucy, and Luan nodded and brought down their containment fields. Now freed, Luna walked over to where the rest were and sat down.
Lola and Lana seemed to understand what Lucy said as well and sat down to watch.
"Besides," Lucy added, "it's not as if he's fighting alone. That armor has copies of all our powers and is made to fight against us if we ever went bad. So, it's like we're all already there, fighting by his side."
The wind gusted, and at that moment, both Lincoln and Lynn shot towards each other, and clashed with their fists. The shockwave that erupted from their strike tripled the size of the crater they were in, and from there, the two of them went into a flurry of exchanged blows, each one that struck sounding resounded with the sound of a dozen volcanos going off at once as it rumbled through the air and earth at the same time. Heaven and Earth were trembling as the two siblings battled, eventually, the two left the crater as they took off into the air and began clashing in the sky. Zipping through the air at speeds that a would've utterly obliterated a normal human's body.
Lynn unleashed a barrage of her cosmic ki blasts, at the same time, Lincoln fired off a barrage mimicked cosmic ki energy in combination with his Power Bits flying and firing off several azure energy waves. Explosions roared throughout the entire battlefield, setting the forest aflame and bringing what remained of the mountains crumbling down. Lynn fired a large cosmic ki energy wave at Lincoln, forcing the preteen to engage the defensive barrier. However, that was just a distraction as Lynn got behind him and struck the shield from behind, launching Lincoln high into the air.
The red warrior girl took off into the sky on an intercept course for Lincoln. She brought both her hands together, channeling her power into both as she prepared to bring them down in a double hammer fist. However, as Lincoln got closer, he brought the shield down and activated the stabilizers just a few inches from Lynn. He opened both of his palms and fired a huge beam at her, catching the warrior girl off guard. An explosion went off, sending Lynn flipping out of a cloud of smoke. And from the smoke, Lincoln pressed the attack as he stretched out his right arm for a punch, but Lynn easily dodged it, and grabbed ahold of it.
Lincoln realized his mistake too late as Lynn began swinging him around and around like an out-of-control windmill. Once she had built up enough momentum, she let go, tossing Lincoln through some of the few standing mountains, borrowing a hole straight through it and through the other side as he landed in a heap on the ground. He kept going, cutting a large groove into the earth, but he quickly recovered, flipped around, and then took off through the same hole that he had made, shattering the mountain from the sheer force of his take off.
Lynn was not ready for that quick recovery as Lincoln activated the diamond shell and punched Lynn in the face with a diamond hardened fist. The cosmic warrior girl spat out blood from the blow, making her growl angrily as she reached out and grabbed him, and struck him with a headbutt. However, upon doing so, she only succeeded in hurting herself as blood started to trickle from her forehead. The diamond shell was stronger than she had thought, despite it being a copy of Lola's power.
Taking advantage of her disorientation, Lincoln threw a few quick jabs to Lynn's face, followed by a right hook to her ribs, an uppercut to her face, and then followed up by grabbing her by her shirt and then tossing her back down to the ground. But he wasn't done, he followed close behind her as she slammed into the dirt and rock, Lynn got back some of her senses and rolled out of the way as Lincoln came down with a flying kick right where she was earlier. Lincoln threw a kick and extended his leg, turning it into rubber as it elongated and struck Lynn in her right side, making her cough painfully.
Lynn growled in frustration as her power rose, she then gave a mighty roar, and just then, she entered her next state as her hair became spikier. "Limit Breaker! Second form!"
{Alright then!} Lincoln cried out as well, as a red aura raged around him. The white energy heat exhaust on his helmet became spikier as well, and even had red at the tips of the spikey parts. {Level 2!}
The two Louds reengaged, and upon contact, a shockwave was released. Lori watched as the world around them was starting to show signs of cracking, as predicted, even if Lincoln was not a cosmic being like the rest of them, the power the armor possessed, along with Lynns, was starting to destabilize the entire dimension.
Lori quickly tapped on her headset and said, "Lincoln, this dimension's going to collapse if you two keep fighting in here."
{Then move us to the next one!}
Lori took out the device and activated it. Another portal opened up beneath Lincoln and Lynn, swallowing them both. Lori flew after them as the portal closed, and the dimension collapsed into oblivion.
Lincoln and Lynn found themselves deposited into a new battleground, this time it was Royal Woods.
Lynn hovered in the air as she took a moment to scan her surroundings. "Now we're in Royal Woods?"
{I had Lisa prepare a few extra pocket dimensions in case our fighting caused one to collapse.}
Lynn chuckled. "You really are the 'Man with the Plan'. So, is this part of the plan? How far ahead did you predict that we'd get? And what's your endgame?"
Lincoln shook his head. {My planning only went as far as setting up these dimensions, this armor, and Lori being the ref. I don't plan on using any tricks to win. If I do, it's going to be with this armor and my fists!}
Lynn chuckled as she smiled. "I like that! That's how it should be little bro! No tricks! No schemes! Just good 'ol fashioned fist fight!"
{Not sure you can call this 'good 'ol' anything considering you have cosmic powers and I have a suit of battle armor,} Lincoln retorted.
"Don't sweat the details, Linc!"
Lynn dashed through the air and struck Lincoln in the face; the blow threw him through the sky as he spun head over heel. Despite the diamond shell and going to level two, he felt that punch a bit. The stabilizers kicked in again, allowing Lincoln to call on the magic power. Black magic circles appeared over his hands as Lincoln cast a spell, and in a matter of seconds there were two more of him.
The three Lincolns nodded to each other and then took off towards Lynn. Lincoln 1 collided with Lynn, but she managed to throw him off her, but was unprepared for Lincoln 2 coming in with a flying haymaker and nailing her across the left cheek, and then Lincoln 3 struck with a flying kick to her right side, throwing her through the air. Lincoln 1 appeared in her flight path and raised both hands up, gathering energy into his palms. Once she was in position, Lincoln fired that energy at her, sending Lynn falling straight for Flip's Food and Fuel.
The beam and Lynn impacted, and then exploded, creating a fiery inferno from the copied gasoline that was under it. But the onslaught did not stop there. All three copies gathered over the area and began firing off different kinds of energy blasts. Lincoln 1 had the Power Bits shoot a barrage, while Lincoln 2 conjured a beam of black colored magical energy, and Lincoln 3 transformed both of his arms into cannons which lobbed explosive, green energy orbs. Several explosions took place over the area, growing in intensity as each blast of energy only magnified the next explosion.
Just then, a great roar erupted from the flames as a column of red light shot out of the flames, completely putting them out from just the sheer force of the beam attack. All three Lincolns saw this, stopped their attacks, and broke off into different directions. Lynn stopped her attack and flew out in the form of a streak of red light, getting behind Lincoln 3 as she kicked him in the back, and then teleported up above to elbow him in the gut. She sent a blast of her own cosmic ki energy into her elbow strike, and had it fire off, hitting Lincoln 3 through the armor and out the other end. The moment this hit, Lincoln 3 disappeared.
Lincoln 2 called on the armor's bestial mimicry power, transforming his armor into an amalgamation of different powerful, mystical earth animals. The clone roared with might as it charged for Lynn. The cosmic warrior girl quickly caught the beast by the jaws, stopping it from chomping down on her, but that proved to be a mistake as a buildup of energy formed in the back of its throat, and in the next moment, was released in a column of orange light that hit her point blank.
Lynn cried out in pain from the burning sensation of the attack, and eventually let go. The cyber chimera grabbed Lynn by the throat with its claws and slammed her back down onto the street, cracking the asphalt in the process. The cyber chimera snarled as it loomed over her, in any other situation Lynn would find this to be a major turn on, having her little brother take her like a beast. But this isn't a time to think with my pussy! Lynn returned the favor as she opened her mouth and fired off her own energy ray, hitting Lincoln 2 right in the face and forcing it off her. The cosmic warrior girl grabbed Lincoln 2 by his left claw and threw him over her shoulder, slamming him into the street as she followed up by firing a huge ball of energy at him. After the explosion went off, Lincoln 2 disappeared.
"And then there was one!"
Lincoln, the original, was sitting in the air in a meditative posture. Once he had sensed the destruction of his two clones, he activated the spell.
Suddenly, a great force descended upon Lynn, and everything within a two-mile radius of her. Buildings cracked, glass shattered, and whatever dust was in the air automatically settled to the ground. Lynn grunted as she felt like a mountain had been dropped on her.
The armor used Lisa's Omni Code to allow Lincoln to see the individual atoms that were floating in the air around Lynn. Once the armor targeted a few of them, Lincoln raised his right hand, extended his pointer finger, and then slashed the air in a horizontal line around Lynn's position. Lynn did not understand what he was doing, but when viewed through Lincoln's HUD, it showed that he had cut through all the atoms surrounding Lynn, essentially splitting them. And we all know what happens when you split an atom.
Lynn had no time to react as several atomic explosions went off around her. Lori blinked when she saw the atomic explosions, using her power to create a counterforce to protect her from the enormous shockwave that rocked the entire dimension and for all intents and purposes, leveled the entire town of Royal Woods. Nothing was left standing; it was a complete and utter wasteland.
Lincoln looked at his right hand, realizing that it was by his hand that he had reduced his hometown to nothing. What happened in the other dimension was one thing, but this made it more real, he now had a good idea of the kind of power that his armor possessed, and it was scary. I could seriously destroy all of Royal Woods with this thing…no…I could destroy a whole country. Lincoln did not have time to contemplate the magnitude of the armor's power, as another guttural roar from Lynn drew his attention. {There she is…}
Out of the smoldering crater arose Lynn, her suit was partially damaged from the multiple atomic blasts, mostly exposing her midriff, and her shoulder armor had been destroyed. Her body has some cuts that were bleeding, but that was not the thing that worried him, or Lori. Lynn's body had bulked up, her irises were gone and now only the whites of her eyes were glowing. Lynn's aura had become a scarlet color along with her getting spikier again and shaded in the same scarlet color. This was the form that nearly ended up killing their siblings, Limit Breaker: Berserker.
Lynn growled as she rose into the air and glared at Lincoln. "Heh, heh, that was a nice move, Stincoln! You almost had me there. But now's the time when you give up! I'll admit, you have my respect now, but here's a pro tip, quit while you're ahead! I'm angry now, bro!"
{So, does that mean you want to call it a draw?} Lincoln mocked.
"What?!"
{Yeah, 'cause that's what you're saying.}
"I didn't say that! I said you need to give up! You know I'm going to win if this keeps going you little punk!" Lynn remarked.
Lori looked at her little brother worriedly. Lincoln…
{Really? 'Cause from where I'm standing, I've been kicking your ass across two dimensions! You landed a few good blows on me, but you're more messed up than I am! Heh, it's like that night all those months ago. I kicked your ass then, and it's happening again! And you know what? MY ONLY REGRET IS I DIDN'T KNOCK YOU THE FUCK OUT!}
Lynn's eyes widened.
Oh shit, Lori thought.
Lynn glared at Lincoln as she released a mighty roar of anger into the dimension, shaking it to its core. Lincoln knew that was going to happen, the only question is, was it the right call? I'm about to find out.
The hulked-out girl shot straight towards him, faster than before, Lincoln did not have time to raise a shield as Lynn punched him across the face and sent him flying. The berserker took off and intercepted him, hitting him with an interlocked hammer fist and sending him straight down into the earth. Lincoln quickly activated his diamond shelling, just as Lynn came down and stomped on his chest, causing Lincoln to cough violently and painfully.
"THAT'S WHAT YOU REALLY WANTED, HUH?! YOU HATE ME THAT MUCH THAT YOU WANTED TO PUNCH MY LIGHTS OUT?!"
{AFTER EVERYTHING YOU PUT ME THROUGH?! CAN YOU BLAME ME?!}
Lincoln cast another spell, making multiple black magic circles appear as construct chains whipped out and wrapped themselves around Lynn's arms, neck, waist, and thighs. The chains reeled her back like a fish on a hook, getting her off Lincoln as he got back to his feet. Lynn growled angrily again, as she released more of her power, shattering the chains as she stomped towards him. Lincoln retaliated with a swift punch to her face, but Lynn came back with punch of her own, bringing him to one knee.
Lynn threw an uppercut into his gut and sent Lincoln into the air. The cosmic berserker met him in the air and released a power roar that blasted Lincoln in the face and sent him flying across the wasteland before landing in the distance as an explosion went off.
Lori bit her lower lip and said, "That's it I'm–!"
{DON'T!} Lincoln ordered.
"Lincoln if I don't stop her, she's going to kill you!" Lori warned.
Lincoln floated out of the crater and panted. The auto healing of the suit was already dulling the pain and repairing the damage his body may have received. {We need to get past it all…and this form…it's the one that she needs to get through! It represents all of her worst qualities. Once it's beaten, I think it will help her, and she can start to be the true Lynn I saw inside those memories.}
"Lincoln…"
{And in order to do that…I can't hold back either. Release safety locks 1 through 10! Disable limiters alpha, beta, gamma, and delta!}
"LINCOLN YOU CRAZY, WHAT ARE YOU DO–?!"
{ACTIVATE JUGGERNAUT MODE!}
Lynn flew and hovered over Lincoln but stopped when she noticed something happening. The armor began to bulk up, adding additional armor until he was a hulking juggernaut, the white flames that acted as hair roared, transforming into a white, lion-like main that wafted back and forth. The fingers of the armor turned to claws, and the square shaped visor eyes became sharp slits. A vermillion aura raged around the armor, which made even Lynn give pause.
Lisa chimed in through the headset and asked Lori, {I just got an alert that the safeties and limiters were deactivated! Did our brother just use the 'last resort'?!}
Lori clenched her fists. "He did…that stupid little twerp…If I wasn't in love with him, I'd kick his ass myself!"
"What the hell is this?" Lynn asked.
{Juggernaut Mode, basically, the anti-cosmic Loud form of the Loud Buster armor. What you were fighting earlier was the powers of our sisters, but now, you're going to fight against the armor that's made to take you all down if you ever went rogue or tried to hurt me,} Lincoln explained.
"Guess you'd need that…against a monster like me…" Lynn lamented.
{Although, I did do something a little stupid, but I think I needed to in order to stand a chance against you in this state. I removed the limiters so the armor's power will keep increasing, which puts strain on my body, but with the safeties removed, the armor will constantly heal me at a rapid pace. It'll break me and repair me all at the same time.}
Lynn couldn't believe what she was hearing, if that was true, he was essentially hurting himself just standing there. And they weren't even fighting yet. "LINCOLN, ARE YOU NUTS?! TURN IT OFF!"
{Are you giving up then?}
"SHUT UP! JUST TURN IT OFF BEFORE YOU KILL YOURSELF!"
{No more talking. Lynn.}
In the blink of an eye the juggernaut disappeared and reappeared in front of Lynn, the mighty machine cocked back its right fist and punched her square in the face, sending the cosmic berserker sailing across the dimension. Calling upon the speeds of multiple animals from across the beast spectrum, Lincoln ignited his thrusters and channeled those abilities as he dashed across the wasteland and shattered the ground in the wake of his take off. Lynn managed to correct herself, but the moment she did, she found herself staring into the bright blue eyes of the Loud Buster Armor. Before Lynn could react, the mighty machine grabbed her by the face, raised her up, and then smashed her into the ground. But Lincoln did not stop there.
Using that same inhuman speed, Lincoln dragged Lynn across the ground, cutting a long fissure into the Earth as the jock girl grunted from getting raked through the unforgiving rock and dirt. Finally, she had had enough as Lynn released an enormous burst of scarlet energy that forced Lincoln to release her. The berserker girl charged straight for her brother and slammed her fist against his armored chest, however, the moment she did, the armor rippled as if she had just thrown a rock into a pond. Lincoln dug his feet into the ground and came down with a left haymaker, punching her right in the face and sending bits of blood flying from her mouth in the process.
Lynn roared in anger and punched again, but the armor just rippled. The berserker girl continued her rapid-fire punches, but each attack only made the armor ripple, in fact, the Loud Buster had not moved an inch despite the numerous blows she was raining down on it. "GRRRRRR! WHY WON'T YOU MOVE?!"
{I said this armor has anti-cosmic being systems developed by Lisa to fight each of our sisters. One of them is tailor made to you, shock absorption and kinetic redirection!} Lincoln cocked back his right fist and struck Lynn in the gut again, causing her to cough violently as a strong shockwave erupted from the impact point. {The more you hit me, the more those blows are absorbed as energy into this machine! And when that happens, I can throw back the damage you deal me, but doubled!}
Lynn growled as she grabbed Lincoln's right arm, which was still planted against her stomach. She then brought up the armor and slammed him into the ground. "Absorption! Not nullification! Which means I just gotta find its breaking point!"
{That's assuming that you're still standing when that happens!} Lincoln shot back as he made the armor release a burst of magical and cosmic ki energy that pushed Lynn away from him.
The armored lad flipped around onto his hands and knees and charged for Lynn again. Lynn did the same as the two titans went back into their brawl, exchanging blows at a speed that made it appear as if comets of light were shooting between them one after the other. Lynn was not about to lose to her little brother; she was not going to lose to anyone. The scarlet aura around her body erupted as her body bulked up even more, causing Lynn's punches to move faster and hit harder. The feet of the armor began to move backwards as the berserker girl seemed to be in the midst of overpowering the Loud Buster Armor.
Cracks started to form along the dimension as the fight continued, tearing the dimensional plane apart with each passing second. Lori did not bother to call it out this time as she hurriedly activated the device and opened a third portal. The portal appeared behind Lori as it passed over her and transported the eldest Loud to the next fighting stage, that same portal rushed towards Lincoln and Lynn and engulfed them just in time before the entire dimension collapsed in on itself.
The three Loud siblings now found themselves on the surface of Mars, normally there wouldn't be any air, but for Lori and Lynn that didn't matter much, neither did it to Lincoln since the armor acted as his life support system. But Lisa did manage to fill this dimension with breathable air, so there was no need to worry one way or the other.
Now on the surface of the planet, the two warriors continued their battle, setting off several huge explosions all over the surface of the red planet. Lincoln dropped to one knee as he began to pant hard, his body felt like it was tearing itself apart only to be put back together with each second that passed by. It hurt. The only thing that was keeping him focused was the battle with Lynn, that was the only thing he needed to concentrate on, Lynn.
{That temper of yours, your pride, it always get the better of you, huh?!}
"SHUT UP!" Lynn demanded as she charged in with a punch.
Lincoln raised his left hand and caught the punch, digging his heels into the ground to keep him from getting pushed back. {Is it really that bad that you can't let me win?! That you can't let yourself lose to get something you want?!}
"LIKE I EVER STOOD A CHANCE!" Lynn punched with her left, but Lincoln caught that punch, too. "I'M JUST A MONSTER! LOOK AT ME! ALL I CAN DO IS HURT, DESTROY, AND FIGHT! I'M NOT SOMEONE WHO NEEDS TO BE AROUND YOU! I–!"
{Don't want to hurt me again?! I know! I know everything!}
"What?!"
{I heard your inner thoughts; I know what you were thinking throughout that entire time that you had everyone convinced that I was bad luck!}
Lincoln took a deep breath and placed his hand over the orb of red light that represented his sister, Lynn's, deepest thoughts. He was not sure what he would hear, what she thought, nor was he sure of what he would feel once he did. But it was too late now, no going back, he made the decision hear Lynn's inner voice, and find out what was going on in her head.
"He's strong…"
"That was unexpected…"
"Oh damn, that really hurt…kicked me right in my baby maker…stupid, Stincoln. You tryin' to make it so I can't have kids?…Not like I deserve to be a mom anyway…I've loved him ever since Mom and Dad first brought him home. I just looked at him and it was as if we clicked. I'm sure it was just me, but I felt something."
"Bad Luck…he was right. I was stupid, selfish, and a complete bitch! I deserved everything he gave me and more! But what do I do?! I go and beat him up! Oh no, Lynn, you just had to let your stupid pride override what little bit of common damn sense you have and instead blame Lincoln for YOUR fucking mistakes!"
"…I hate myself. Why can't I be like Lucy or Leni? Or LORI?! Lucy can write poems and shit, and she's a total occult otaku like Lincoln, they bond so well! Leni has no problem getting boys to like her, and Lori just goes and gets what she wants, but is still feminine about it! Me…I just take what I want the brute force way, my way, or the highway! And what it did get me? I MADE LINCOLN LEAVE OUR HOUSE! The boy I have A sick and hot crush on!"
Lynn curled herself into a ball as she began to weep silently.
"Dammit…I hate this…if there was ever a possibility in the future that Linc and I could…be more than sibs, I just shot it to hell! I'm so sorry, Lincoln…I'm so, so sorry! I always looked forward to the day that you could eventually put me on the ground, 'cause I would know that if you could beat me, then there was nothing and no one who could hurt you! I gave you a hard time because I'm in love with you! Because I don't want anyone to take away the kind part of you…and in the end, it wasn't some random bully at school…it was your own family…"
"Please, Lincoln, come back to us…I swear I'll do whatever I can to make it up to you, I don't know what…but I will, one day!"
{That's what you said! Those words came from deep in your heart, and don't tell me they didn't!}
Despite the revelation, Lynn was still persistent in her attack. But then, something happened that Lincoln did not expect. She cried. Tears streamed down her cheeks, but they evaporated the moment they left her eyes, turning into sparkles of light.
"I'm sorry…I'm messed up, Linc…" Lynn bawled.
{You may have some anger issues, and your pride can be a pain in the ass, but you're my sister! One of the people I love most in this world! I can't stand by and not do anything to help you! So, you tell me, Lynn! What can I do to help you?!}
Lori watched with nervous anticipation, and in the original dimension, so were the rest of the Loud sisters.
After very pregnant silence, Lynn looked at her brother and said, "Fight me, with everything you got. Help me burn this anger out of my body for good this time…I don't ever want to be like this again!"
Lincoln smiled under his helmet and said, {If that's what you want…THEN I'LL DO IT!}
An orange aura appeared around the Loud Buster Armor as Lincoln built up energy in the palms of his hands, and in the next moment, fired them off, sending Lynn away as he gave chase yet again. Lynn quickly recovered, faster than last time, and came in with a drop kick to Lincoln's chest, this time sending him flying. Lynn's aura raged as she took off after him, appearing alongside Lincoln as she fired a cosmic ki blast in his face and set off and explosion that burned a huge crater into the red planet. Lincoln retaliated with the diamond armor and fired the that same attack at Lynn, but the berserker girl's reflexes were getting sharper, which allowed her to dodge the beam attack and land another blow against the armor.
Lincoln coughed as he felt the impact through the armor, rattling his insides to the point that he almost blacked out. But thanks to the healing factor of the armor, he was not allowed to black out, not until his opponent had been rendered silent. Lincoln yelled as he jumped into the air and opened up several salvos on the armor, magic circles appeared over the openings, and then missiles were fired through those circles, each one coated in the black colored magic energy. The missiles started disappearing and reappearing, dropping in and out of dimensional space as they teleported around Lynn, making it hard for her to figure out where or when they were going to hit.
This proved to be a good distraction as Lincoln stretched out his right arm and grabbed Lynn by the right leg and tossed her right into the air. The missiles all teleported to where she was going to be, and all at once they converged and struck, releasing a mighty series of explosions that rocked the sky of Mars. Lynn's energy increased again as her aura raged even more. The berserker girl landed a few yards away as she brought her hands together to charge her signature attack. Lincoln decided that this was going to be it. All or nothing.
Lincoln widened his stance as the Loud Buster armor started to reconfigure itself. Exhaust ports formed on its back, fanning out to form mimic wings. The legs became bulkier as large metal stakes shot out and impaled the ground below him, acting as an anchor. A third spike shot out from the middle of his back and embedded itself deep into the ground. The chest plate began to morph and then formed a long cannon with three oscillating rings at the middle. Lincoln grabbed ahold of the handlebars on each side as the cannon readied itself. This was the "Longinus Cannon". Lincoln's HUD produced a targeting sight that beeped as it steadied itself and locked onto Lynn.
Once both siblings had reached their peak of energy, they fired their attacks. Two incredibly huge beams of light roared like God's thunder towards each other, one scarlet red, the other vermillion orange. Once the two hit each other, the planet began to crack. Fissures spiderwebbed all across the surface of Mars, and even further as the dimension was showing signs of collapsing again. Lori knew she had to move this fight to another location, but there was no way she could do that with the two of them locked in a beam struggle like that. If they dared to pass through the dimensional plane with that much power being released, there was a real possibility they could punch a hole right into the real Royal Woods and blow up the Earth.
Lincoln's systems were blaring, warning him that he had exceeded the allowable time to be in Juggernaut Mode with the safeties and limiters removed, but that did not matter right now. All that mattered was helping Lynn. The two beams pushed back and forth, Lynn would gain ground, but then Lincoln would push back and regain what he had lost and gain more. Little by little, Lincoln was getting there, but every so often Lynn would roar and release a burst of power that surged into the beam, pushing back on what he had done.
Lynn was panting, huffing, and growling, she was pouring everything she had into this attack. She wanted to unleash all her fury, her anger, her sorrow, all of it into this attack until it was all gone. The Longinus Cannon's attack was making headway, more and more ground was retaken as Lynn's attack was starting to get pushed back. It got to the point that Lynn was practically staring down the attack and was face to face with it.
{GIVE IT EVERYTHING YOU GOT, LYNN!}
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Scarlet and vermillion light swirled about Lynn, and right before the explosion went off, there was silence. The two attacks fizzled out into nothingness in the blink of an eye as a bright light shined from Lynn's position. Lincoln disengaged the Longinus Cannon and waited; something was different. Lynn was walking towards him, but she was different. Her hair was no longer spikey, it was back to being long and straight, but it was not brown colored, it was a bright, shimmering crimson. Her raging aura had calmed, now replaced by an undulating crimson aura that sparkled, and even her eye color matched the new look.
Lincoln was still on edge a bit, even now as Lynn stood before him. Lori had shifted into her battle gear, unsure as to what this new form meant, but she was not about to take any chances either.
However, Lynn reached out and placed her hand on Lincoln's chest plate. The young warrior looked up at him and smiled at him with tears in her eyes. "It's gone…I…I broke through, Linc. My rage…my anger…It's gone!"
Lincoln smiled in relief when he heard her say those words. {Good…'cause…I've gone past my limit…} The Juggernaut Mode quickly ended, returning to the standard Loud Buster Armor, and a moment after that the armor retracted back to the power module, leaving only Lincoln. Lynn quickly caught her little brother and held him against her chest. "…You're warm…it feels nice…"
"Heh, you tryin' to perv on your big sis?" Lynn teased.
"You started it…" Lincoln replied drowsily.
"Hey, rest up little bro." Lynn looked in Lori's direction and said, "Let's go home before this place falls down around our ears."
Lori shook her head, still a bit confused as to what was going on. "Uh, right."
Lincoln felt like his body had been thrown into a dryer, and then beaten like a rug on a clothesline. When they returned home, Lynn's crimson form faded away, returning her to normal. Well, as normal as a cosmic powered being can get. Lynn carried Lincoln to his room, where Leni used her powers to heal him. The pain was dealt with in short order, and Lincoln was feeling better, but he was exhausted.
As the others started to leave, Lynn stopped in the doorway and asked, "Um…Linc…is it okay if I stay with you for a little while?" Lori and Leni gave the young brunette a cautious look. Lynn turned to them and said, "I swear, I'm not going to do anything with Linc."
Lincoln smiled and said, "It's okay. She won't."
Reluctantly, the oldest Loud siblings left. Lynn closed the door behind them and went over to the bed, Lincoln scooted over, but Lynn had something else in mind. She picked up her brother with ease and once she was on the bed, she laid him atop her, his back against her chest as she sat up and let him rest against her.
Lincoln didn't mind, in fact, this was the first time in a long time that he felt comfortable in Lynn's embrace. The crimson shine of her hair and eyes returned, releasing more of her shimmering radiance. Lincoln hummed in content as he allowed the soothing feeling of Lynn's new power wash over him and fill him with a comforting warmth. "I like this new form of yours, you look pretty, Lynn."
Lynn averted her gaze a bit as she blushed. "S-Shut up…I'm not pretty."
"I think you are," Lincoln remarked.
Lynn could not help but smile, no one had ever called her pretty. No boys at school sure as hell ever did, and honestly, she could give a rat's ass if they did. Because right now the only opinion she cared about was that of Lincoln's, and it made her heart flutter. "Thanks, again, for helping me work through all of that…I really am sorry, Lincoln. I'm sorry for prolonging all that shit you went through…and I'm sorry for fighting you."
"I think we can forget about that now; it's settled as far as I'm concerned. I got to vent my own frustration in that fight, and so did you. Now, I think we can start off with a clean slate," said Lincoln.
Lynn chuckled as she said, "That was a crazy date."
"You're counting that as our date?"
"As far as I'm concerned. I'm not really all for that romantic shit…I wouldn't mind if it was you. But, if you did end up choosing me, I'd do whatever romantic crap you wanted. And I'd love every second of it," Lynn confessed.
Lincoln's eyes started to droop, the exhaustion of that fight was starting to catch up with him quickly, and Lynn's warm and soothing aura was only compounding the matter.
"Go ahead and nod off, I'll be here when you wake up," said Lynn.
"…You promise…?"
Lynn's mind flashed back when she heard him say that. Back to the day when she realized her feelings for her little brother were stronger than just familial. Lincoln had been bullied by a few kids, and it was on account of him getting involved in those bullies' business because they were picking on another kid. Dammit you always gotta be the hero. When Lynn learned of this, she beat up the bullies with little to no effort, they'd never bother Lincoln again, and they were sure as hell not going to tell on her. I mean, how embarrassing would it be if word got around that three twelve-year-old boys got their butts kicked thoroughly by a ten-year-old girl? Lynn recalled going into Lincoln's room and comforting him in much this same way, holding him close.
"I promise, I'll always protect you, Lincoln."
"You promise?"
Lynn watched as Lincoln finally dosed off. Once he had, she pushed back his bangs and gave her little brother a gentle kiss on his forehead.
"I promise. I'll never hurt you again. I'll be the protector that you deserve."
Exhaustion soon found Lynn as she too dosed off with Lincoln in her arms. The other sisters watched what was going on through a portal that Lucy had conjured, while they disliked how Lincoln went about this, they could not argue with the results. And it seemed as if Lynn was cured of her rage, but only time would tell if this was a temporary fix or something permanent. For now, though, the Loud sisters were content with letting Lynn be alone with Lincoln, the day was only half over, so, technically, they were still on their date.
A/N: Honestly, this was most likely how any date with Lynn would go. Well, guys, how did you like the debut of the Loud Buster Armor?
At least now Lincoln has a way to stand on equal footing with his sisters and not be powerless against them.
Now we can move onto the next sister, everyone's favorite goth girl, Lucy!
And in case you are wondering, yes, Lola and Lana will be dating Lincoln together.
They made their decision to both be Lincoln's girlfriends, and they meant it.
So, in total, that means we have 2 more dates after Lucy before this arc is complete.
It's been a long road getting here, but the end is near!
And after, we move into...Endgame.
(Cue Avengers theme)
