Family of Two.
Chapter 657: Farewell Old Guy.
(November 8. Tall Timbers Park, Royal Woods Michigan.)
The day is looking calm and cool, but the fun and peace will have to wait, as the sky is filled with some helicopters from FutureTech, mostly Twinblade Gunships and they are escorting a Dropship, which then slowly lands onto the large open grassy space, not too far from the lake.
Peacekeepers come out, and they're escorting Leonard, the former loud grandfather of the loud family, and he doesn't seem fine. He looks miserable and depressed, and the sole reason is after what went down the other day. No jail time, but instead he is no longer allowed to return to Royal Woods, or anywhere that the Louds and former Louds are, and he is no longer bearing the last name, heck he is not allowed to go to Loch Loud either, and will be sent back to where he was before, Alaska but without his boat, but he will be allowed to get his stuff from the boat.
The elderly man sees all of the folks he once called family are here, and near the lake all looking at him sternly.
The folks here: Luna, Lincoln, Jordan and her parents, Sam and her family, Great Grandma Harriet, Michelle Leslie, Delilah, Lori, Leni, Luan, Lisa, Lucy, Lola, Lana, Albert, and Myrtle. Even Lynn Jr is here.
Other people here: Mayor Davis, Becca, Dr. Mae Turner, Sid, Adelaide, Ronnie Anne and her friends, Maggie, Clyde and his dad's, Chloe, Amanda Bright, Katherine Mulligan, Stella, Rusty, Zach, Liam, Tabby, Sully and Mazzy, Mollie, Sadie, Trent, Artie, Lance, Kat, Joy, Cookie, Jenny, Annabelle, Margo and Detectives StoneHeart and Merris.
They then have the old man head to his boat by the docks, but then he looks towards Luna. "Luna, please... I just..."
But her menacing glare makes him scared. "Get your stupid things out of that boat, and then get the hell out of there before I start beating you till your lifeless!"
Hearing her say that scares him, and so Leonard heads to the boat, and he starts to grab all of his things. He sees the cash he saved is not much anymore, many of it has been used to repair the damages to the Park, and he saw this coming. He then sees the David Steel Comic and he sighs. Lincoln doesn't know who this guy is, and now his chances to let Lynnard keep this might not be possible anymore.
Leonard even grabs the photo, of back when they were all one big happy family, from before all of this went down, and before the Bad Luck ordeal started, and he sheds some tears seeing this. 'Where did I go wrong? Why couldn't I have been here and stop this? What the heck was I even thinking?'
He then grabs his bags, and then he leaves the boat. He is already dressed for wherever they will take him, and then he sees some Peacekeepers remove the ropes, and his boat is kicked off and forced to float to stay still within the middle of the Lake.
Leonard doesn't know why, but this is what he gets for his actions, the accidental attempted murder towards Lincoln Loud, and the trouble he has caused around this park, which goes to show that he can't adapt to the new changes going around, and he wishes he could do just that, he adapted to the changes at Camp Mastodon, but I guess he can't handle change to an entire town.
Then he sees the others looking to him angrily, and then he speaks. "Guys, look. I'm sorry about what had happened. I wish I could've changed what went down, and then we wouldn't be in this mess that I made. I let my competitive nature in fishing get the best of me."
He then looks towards Lincoln and the boy doesn't even speak to him, he just remains standing next to his mom, holding her hand and not letting go, and he can tell that his grandson, well former grandson doesn't wanna deal with him ever again.
Leonard sighs, and he knows that this is the end for him. "Well, I should get going..."
"Not so fast there, old timer" replied Michelle sternly. "You will remain, to witness of what we are all gonna do to your boat." This confuses Leonard.
"What?"
Sam then continues. "As of punishment added, you will see what we are gonna do to the location from where our kid was shot at and nearly killed. Because none of us want this stupid wrecked piece of wooden crud, and so we all came to an agreement."
Leonard didn't like this. "W-What agreement?"
Harriet then looks towards Lincoln. "Now, Lincoln."
Lincoln nods and Dartrix is sitting on his shoulder, and then he has the Luxury Pokéball, and this is something Leonard recalls and is afraid of, and then Lincoln whispers to the ball. "Gyarados, come on out and let's do some damage."
Lincoln then throws the Luxury Pokéball into the air, and a stream of light comes out and then dives into the water, the lake starts to bubble and boil and thankfully all the Water Type Pokémon have retreated away from this spot, and they know what is to come is going to be destructive.
Then the monster breaches out of the lake, and everyone looks in awe and slight fear as they witness, the mighty and destructive Gyarados!
Some of them are scared, while others try to be brave, but Leonard is scared within his soul, he remembers this thing and how scary it can be when it looks down upon you, and it's doing just that. They see how large he is, and how intimidating he looks.
Lincoln is baffled and amazed, and so he goes closer and the Gyarados lowers his head, and Lincoln hugs him as he keeps his mouth closed. "Hey there, big guy. You grew up, and I'm proud of you. You have become such a strong and powerful Pokémon, and I'm glad I can see you again."
Dartrix then lands on his head, and this makes Gyarados happy, he remembers him. The beast then lifts back up, but this time with Lincoln riding the head, this has the others concerned, but not Luna and Sam. They know that he's got this.
Lincoln then looks towards Leonard, and the man sees his former grandson, riding on the head of this monster. "You struck me, you fired a harpoon and it hit me. That weapon pierced my chest, and shattered my heart! I nearly died, but I didn't wanna give up because my time wasn't ready."
Leonard can see that this kid is super angry, and he is serious and means business. "You tried to spend time with us, but you just don't get it. Things have changed, this is not the same Royal Woods as it was before, things are different now and everyone is doing their part and adapting to this new lifestyle we have, let it be the new tech or the new wildlife, and I love how we have new and unique things going around this peaceful town of ours."
"You came here to bond with us, but all you wanted to do with us is fishing, which we have dealt with before, and you just couldn't obey the new rules about this lake, and everything around it because your old fashioned that way. Well, Albert seems to adapt well, he is aware of these changes and I for one am glad that I can still call him my grandfather, because there is no way to hell am I ever gonna see you in that role ever again. Hell, none of us will call you our grandfather ever again."
Lucy speaks. "Some of us are a part of new families, and we're glad to meet the grandparents, and how nice they are." Lisa also agrees, Lola and Lana are still confused as to why they're mother, Agnes Johnson doesn't like her own mother, who is their grandma.
Delilah then speaks to Leonard. "And FYI: You're former son in jail, he doesn't wanna see you anymore after what you did, and he's gonna be released with his wife when next year shows up. You won't be here to see him again. He's fine with that."
Hearing that hurts Leonard, he can see that all of them never ever wanna see him around ever again.
Lincoln then speaks. "So, as I do recall. We get to do whatever we want, with your little wretched dinky boat!" Then Gyarados turns around and he sees the vessel, and Leonard realizes what they're going to do.
"W-Wait, Linc..."
"Gyarados!" The Atrocious Pokémon then roars into the sky, and Lincoln holds on and then Dartrix takes off and orbits the beast. Lincoln then yells out. "Hyper Beam!"
Gyarados then looks down to the boat in the middle of the lake, and everyone sees the energy from his mouth, and this surprises Leonard. The Gyarados then charges up more and more energy, and then it turns into this sphere of energy from its large open mouth, it hisses and it growls and he is locked on target!
Leonard is in tears, and he realizes what is about to happen to the boat he once called home.
Everyone is wearing sunglasses, because this is gonna be bright, but Amanda Bright is taking photos for some reason, and Stella is recording this on her video camera.
Gyarados then winds up, then he unleashes his power and the Hyper Beam has been fired, and the blast makes contact and decimates the boat in the middle of the lake. Lincoln is still on the head, and wearing sunglasses and watches this happen, and even Dartrix has some shades and watches this.
They all watch as the beam is gone, and the blast made some waves, but they simmer down and then they all see, the boat is gone. The place where Lincoln Albert Loud was accidentally shot, is no more. The others sigh in relief, and the water Pokémon all head back into the lake.
Gyarados then turns around and then heads to the shore, and let's Lincoln down. The boy then looks towards Leonard, and the old man is shocked beyond anything in his mind, and then he sees Gyarados looking at him, and now he is scared of this beast, and may have developed a phobia from this thing, since he now sees that Pokémon such as Gyarados is capable of doing a ton of damage.
Lincoln then speaks. "Don't ever come back, ever again, Leonard."
That hurts his heart, and Leonard just sheds some tears and he sobs, and so the Peacekeepers take away the heart broken old man who was once "Loud" and they bring him into the dropship, he sees that they all don't pity him, and he understands why they would not, but the last thing he thinks. 'Goodbye everyone... I'm sorry, and take care.'
The dropship door closes, and they all watch as the dropship leaves, and they all cheer. Lincoln is happy to see that this issue is dealt with, and then he is hugged by Luna and Sam. Everything is calm and alright once more, and they all continue to cheer from this.
Gyarados is so happy too, that he roars into the sky, which startles everyone and they all remain silent. Harriet then speaks. "Whoa. That one got me too."
To be continued on November 10.
A/N: Leonard is gone, and will never come back, and now things can go back to normal, despite the fact there is a Gyarados now. I hope that you all enjoyed reading this new chapter guys.
