What up, everyone? It's been almost five months. First off, how is everyone dealing with the virus? I'm ok, and so is my family, despite the situation my town is in. Reason I haven't worked on this story or any of my current stories is I've been working on a new story called Muskoka High: Plus Ultra! It's been up since May and has six chapters. After reading this, try checking the brand new story. Now on the chapter!
Chapter 17: A Shocking Foe!
Lincoln's day didn't expect it to turn into another one of fighting a villain. After fighting Hydro-Man with Spider-Man in Italy yesterday, Lincoln went to Aloha Beach with his family to spend this relaxing day in the summer. Except that day was ruined when another one of Spider-Man's foes came to Royal Woods, The Sandman. Lincoln, in his Hercules outfit, tangles with the sand elemental with his mentor at his side. Lincoln's little sister Lana helped by using the fire hydrant against Sandman. It only weakens him before Sandman flees from the police. Right now, Lincoln and his family returned home. Peter was also at the house and currently calling Tony about what happened.
"Dang Lincoln, you fought against a man who is made out of water. Now you're facing a man who is made out of sand," Lynn Jr remarked, sitting on the couch's arms. The family sat on the couch after returning from their disaster day.
"Flint Marko, better known by his alias The Sandman," Lincoln revealed the name of Spider-Man's foes. The t.v was on with Katherine Mulligan recalling the battle outside of Aloha Beach.
"I'll keep my eyes on Marko, Mr. Stark. Thank you," Peter sighed off his phone and faced the Loud family.
Rita asked "Everything alright, Peter?"
"I explained everything to Mr. Stark and the rest of the Avengers. They're willing to come here and find Marko. But I told him me and Lincoln can find him first," Peter said.
"How can anyone find a man in this small town? He can literally turn into sand and drift away," Lori asked, doubting the heroes can actually find the convicted criminal. She also recalled how Marko fled by using his sand powers.
Shaking his head, Peter corrected "Marko won't hide forever. He's gonna come out. He'll lay low for a few days till the heat dies."
"I'm sure you and Linky can find him," Leni encourages both her little brother and his mentor.
"But how are you two going to defeat him?" Lana wondered. "You're going to need a lot of water to melt him into a large pile of mud."
"He can regenerate quickly thanks to the earth substance in his DNA," Lisa points out after witnessing how Sandman regenerates back to his physical form after being hit with water from the fire hydrant.
"You're gonna need some weapons against that sand beast, bro," Luna advised Lincoln.
"Like those hooks to reel in Hydro Man?" Luan added with a small joke and the meathooks Lincoln used to defeat Morris Bench.
"I wished I had a sword and shield," Lincoln huffed in slight annoyance. "Should've kept my hooks back in Italy."
Lynn Sr rose up from his chair and addressed his family "From here on in, we need to be on high alert. The police are looking for Marko. See something that has sand flowing around or at the scene of a crime, call Peter and Lincoln," The family nod their heads to confirm the patriarchy's statement.
Royal Woods was still a little shaken by yesterday's attack led by The Sandman. After escaping from both Hercules and Spider-Man, the police conduct a man-hunt of the convicted super criminal. The next day, Peter and Lincoln were on the clock themselves as they were also searching for Marko. The Loud family provided additional help as being the eyes and ears. An entire day wasted with no leads from Marko. Peter provided the information he gathered on Sandman back in Queens. From a petty robber to a man with sand abilities, Marko was one step ahead of both the law and Spider-Man. He would hide in abandoned buildings or in plain sight after committing a crime and his round with the web slinger. The Loud family checked some abandoned buildings if Marko was hiding. Sandman was alone and outside of connections from Queens, where he has friends in a group he belongs to. Peter eventually revealed to the Loud family and Lincoln that Sandman is a member of the Sinister Six, a gang that is made up of six (Marko counts as one) notorious villains Spider-Man had fought. The odds of Marko bringing in another member from the Sinister Six was a high possibility and time was at its limit.
Lincoln ponders in his room as he checks the map of Royal Woods that is hanged on the wall. Several thumbtacks are inserted to indicate Peter, his family, and himself had checked out in search of Sandman. No sign of him, not even the police hadn't searched a single clue of his whereabouts.
His train of thought is cut off when Luna opens the door. "Hey bro," Luna greeted. "Any luck finding him?" The rockstar got a response in the form of a heavy sigh.
"Nope. Me and Peter had tracked down various spots downtown. We asked some people where Marko was or if they saw sand flowing around. Marko is difficult to find," Lincoln said, he rubbed his eyes from the tiredness of having to spend many hours tracking down the sand elemental.
"He'll pop out," Luna ruffled Lincoln's white hair. "This town is small. Odds are anyone can spot a pile of sand that is nearby. You need to get out of the room. It's noon," Lincoln checked the time from his phone and saw it was around noon.
"The family is going to visit Pop-pop and Gram-gram later. Best take a shower before the hot water is gone," She advised. Lincoln dropped his investigation on Sandman to gather his clothes and exit out to get clean.
The Loud family ventured to the Sunset Canyon Retirement Center to visit their friendly grandparents. They needed this. After a whole day of teaming up with Lincoln and Peter of tracking down a superpowered criminal, the family wanted to rest. Besides, it wasn't a good day to go out since the temperature was ninety-seven degrees. According to the weather report (i.e Lisa's notes), the temperature will continue to rise to about one hundred and three degrees. The Loud kids are prepared to swim in the community pool when they get to the retirement center since all the places they went to take a dip have banned them. Lincoln invites Peter to meet his grandparents.
"You're going to love Pop-pop and Gram-gram, Peter," Lincoln said, sitting next to his mentor.
"Not to mention his friends as well. They're friendly," Luna added, who was next to Peter. "Except Sue. Watch out for her, she's really nasty when it comes to sticking to the rules."
Vanzilla parked at the entrance of the retirement center. The Loud family and Peter entered the building. Rita went to the front counter where, to the family's dismay, Sue was working. When Sue looked at the family, she frowned immediately.
"Let me guess. Albert and Myrtle?" She asked, forcing a smile to the family of one of her deerly senior citizens.
"Yes please," Rita said. Sue pressed the com and spoke through the microphone to call out the names of said seniors. Moments later, both grandparents arrived at the scene.
"Pop-pop! Gram-gram!" All the Loud kids shouted in glee and rushed to hug them both.
"Ha, ha, hiya sluggers!" Albert shouted with a smile as he and his girlfriend hugged them back.
"How are my adorable grandbabies?" Myrtle said, grabbing Lana, Lola, and Lisa to give them a big sloppy kiss.
"Hi daddy!" Rita steps in to hug her father. Lynn Sr hugged the man and his girlfriend as well. As both Albert and Myrtle had settled to hug the family, the couple took notice of Peter.
"Who's this young fetching man?" Albert asked.
"Pop-pop, this is Peter Parker," Lincoln introduces his mentor to his grandfather. "We met him a couple of weeks ago. He's visiting our town for the summer."
Peter shake the old man's hand, "It's an honor to meet you, sir,"
Albert felt the strong grip of the young man's hand and said in slight surprise "Quite a grip you got, son. Where are you from?"
"Queens."
"No fooling!" Albert exclaimed with a chuckle. "I knew a friend of mine in Queens!"
Myrtle walks over to hug Peter, "It's nice to meet someone who is visiting our nice little town."
"Say Pop-pop, is the pool open? Cause we could use some swimming," Luan asked her grandfather. The family brought their swimsuit for the occupation.
Albert answered "Sure, but right now the seniors are using it till two. In the meantime, why don't we get something to eat? It's fried steak and baked potatoes," The Loud family voiced their approval and followed the grandparents to the dining hall. Peter followed as well with a smile formed in his face. His student's grandparents are nice people, especially Albert.
It reminded him of Uncle Ben.
The family meets at the dining hall to enjoy lunch. Peter sat with Lincoln, Albert, Rita, Lynn Sr, Lori, Leni, Luna, and Lily while Myrtle sat with Luan, Lynn Jr, Lucy, Lana, Lola, and Lisa. Albert discusses the topic regarding his first granddaughter going off to college at the beginning of September.
"You nervous, sweetie?" Albert asked, picking his rice.
"Not at all Pop-pop," Lori shook her head. "I literally got everything I need to do on my own. This late July, I'll receive a notification from the college administration board when I need to leave."
"You showed those teachers how Lori Loud doesn't back down," Albert grinned with his fist up, much to the family table's amusement. "Tell me Peter," He addresses Peter. "What can you tell me about your life?"
"I lived with my Aunt May," Peter began. "I'm going to enter my junior year after summer is over. I'm into both science and engineering. I'm a wiz of building anything. If you see my inventions, you'll fall in love."
"Kinda like Lisa who can't stop inventing things for one minute," Albert remarked.
"I take that after Mr. Stark."
"Tony Stark? You know him?"
"I interned under him a year ago. And we became very close. Are you a fan of Mr. Stark, Albert?"
"My friend Stan told me stories of The Avengers when I went to New York to visit him," Albert said, his tone dropping to a level of melancholy. "He admired superheroes. He basically has a collection of comic books based on them. I remember the last time I talked to him before he passed away," The retired marine took out his wallet. Taking a picture out, he shows them the old man himself and an elderly man with slick gray hair and wearing shades in a local cafe in New York. "You folks would've really liked him, including you, Lincoln. He was a fanboy."
"He sounds like a great friend, dad," Rita replied, feeling sympathy to her father's late friend. Both Lincoln and Peter shared the same feeling. Albert thanked her daughter as he put the photo back. He wiped the tears from his eyes.
"Anyway, how's summer doing for you all?" Albert asked, his tone returning to his cheery self.
"My restaurant is doing ok, Albert," Lynn Sr spoke first. "With summer around the corner, it's been packing non-stop. Kids and teenagers sure love to have a big attitude before they go back to school," His kids nod their heads as they saw their friends eating at Lynn's Table.
Albert congrats Lynn Sr on his success before turning to his sole grandson. "How are things with you, Lincoln?" He asked.
"I'm doing good," Lincoln said, chopping his meal. "I've been doing things differently this summer."
"Your mother said you took up exercising lately," Myrtle said, hearing what her boyfriend had asked. "How are you doing?"
"I've been sticking with what my family had planned," Lincoln gave out a short version of his new change and keeping his secret identity. "Plus Peter joined in for extra support,"
"Keep working like that and you'll end up saving more people just like Hercules," Albert remarked. "That kid is something."
"You like Hercules, Pop-pop?" Lincoln asked, surprised.
"He's one killer superhero!" Albert chuckled heartily. "I saw the video of him punching that man in the rhino suit and him teaming up with Spider-Man against that water giant. If Stan was alive today, he would gush at the young hero. I'm surprised he's a kid."
"He shouldn't be running around to face that kind of trouble; he's a child for heaven's sake!" Myrtle said, her tone showing her a mixture of disapproval and concern.
"So is Spider-Man, but he's mature enough to fight like an Avenger," Lincoln replied to give an example. Peter flashes a thumbs up at his student in response.
"You have to forgive Myrtle, gang. She's very concerned at the thought of a child being a symbol of Royal Woods," Albert briefly explains why his girlfriend is acting touchy over the matter.
"Would you be scared if one of our grandkids decides to fight a big thug who can cause destruction to save people, Al? I almost had a heart attack when the very thing happened to some of our grandbabies!" Myrtle said while exclaiming at the last sentence and hugged the little ones as recalling how they almost died at the accident on the highway.
"But Linky saved everyone, Gram-gram," Leni said to stop Myrtle from crying.
"Thank heavens he got out of there alive!" Myrtle said, her attention turned to Lincoln. "When your parents told me what happened, me and Al nearly fell out of our chairs!"
"I was one of the lucky ones," Lincoln lied. "My body just reacted to save everyone."
"You're a true hero, Lincoln," Albert commented. "Still, I don't know how on God's Earth you survive from what Lucy, Lana, Lola, and Lisa had explained," Lincoln just shrugged his shoulders without so much to give an answer. The two lunch parties continue eating their meals while talking about their summer. The lunch lasted for twenty minutes. The seniors were still in the pool for forty minutes. The Loud family spent the remaining time enjoying more conversation with both Albert and Myrtle; the kids played games to pass the time with Peter joining in.
At the senior's pool, it was finally empty for the family. It was time to have fun in the water. And the best part was that Sue wasn't in charge as the lifeguard but rather another employee. However, they were told not to get too loud or rough with one another. In their swimsuit, the Loud kids jumped into the pool. Rita, Lynn Sr, Albert, and Myrtle sat in chairs with baby Lily resting on her lavender towel.
Coming out of the dressing rooms are Lincoln and Peter in their swimsuits. Peter's swim shorts were red and blue, the color scheme of his Spider-Man suit and Lincoln's swim shorts was orange. Both mentor and student are shirtless to expose their muscle bodies; Peter has a six pack while Lincoln has a faint four pack.
Albert took a look at Lincoln's physique and whistled "Land sake, Lincoln! All that training got you packed! You're gonna be making all the ladies drop to their knees!"
"Hehhehe, thanks Pop-pop," Lincoln chuckled, rubbing the back of his head.
Peter chuckles and pat Lincoln on the shoulder, "Last one is is a rotten egg!" He ran and dived into the pool. The water splash to Lori, Luan and Lucy.
"It's on now, Petey!" Luan shouted in glee. The girls decided to play water fight against Peter. Lincoln joined the water to save his mentor.
Both the adults and senior citizens look at the playful scene between The Loud kids and Peter. "Your kids are good friends with that young lad," Myrtle said, regarding Peter who was introduced by her grandson.
"Not much like Lincoln," Lynn Sr said. "I couldn't keep count how many questions the kids asked Peter regarding Mr. Stark and The Avenger. But it was Lincoln who asked the most questions. He admires them as much as he admires Ace Savvy."
"I gotta ask, is there someone he really admires beside Ace Savvy?" Albert asked, wondering what Lincoln's favorite hero was out of The Avengers.
"He didn't ask," Rita shrugged. "You know how Lincoln is with favoritism. But Lincoln loves hanging out with Peter. With Clyde being his best friend, Lincoln developed a brotherly bond with him," She then switches to the pool where a game of chicken was commissioned. Peter held Lincoln on his shoulders while battling Lynn Jr who was on top of Luna's shoulders.
"Lincoln sure likes meeting new people," Albert said. "Tell me, has Lincoln ever met Tony Stark?" At the mention of the billionaire superhero, both parents quickly look at each other to discuss whether or not to tell both grandparents of Lincoln's new status as a mutant and the famous superhero protecting Royal Woods and a member of the Avengers. After learning their sole son is a mutant, the family promised to keep it a secret from the town out of fear the citizens will turn on him.
"Peter once invited him to dinner one time," Lynn Sr said, carefully leaving details of Lincoln's new job as an Avenger.
"Really?" Myrtle is surprised, so was Albert. "You gotta tell us!" She was eager to learn what happened during the dinner party.
"Tony- I mean Mr. Stark- was impressed by meeting us," Rita explained. "The kids put on a show for him, his fiancee and bodyguard. Lisa took the longest to question Mr. Stark's supersuit. And Lincoln, he was polite of meeting one of the Avengers."
"What did he ask? Is it which super heroine my other half has a crush on?" Albert joked. The slight chuckle stopped upon seeing the panicked look on both his daughter and her husband. "I'm sure his question wasn't that bad. Something the matter with you two?"
Both parents were stuck on coming up with an answer that will not expose Lincoln's secret. But Albert and his girlfriend will understand. They were tolerant of people who are different from others. If they tell them, they'll understand.
"Dad, Myrtle, there's something we gotta come clean," Rita began, drawing both the grandparents' attention. Lynn Sr. looked at his wife in alarm, but quickly calmed. Before Rita could utter a word, she was cut off by the sound of an eldery woman entering the pool.
"Al!" The old man turns his head to see Sue coming in on her motor scooter. "You gotta come see this!"
"What is it, Sue?" Albert asked of his friend who appeared in a panicked expression. The Loud kids and Peter stopped their chicken fight when they saw Sue coming to Albert.
"That manic with the sand magic is attacking again! It's on the news!" Sue said. Both Lincoln and Peter pause at the mention of the manic with sand magic. Both mentor and student quickly got out of the pool with the Loud daughters getting out as well.
The Loud sisters, Lincoln, and Peter all went to the living room still in their swimsuit and dripping wet. They didn't bother drying off after Sue loudly alarm of The Sandman's pensence. Albert, Myrtle, Lynn Sr, and Rita were also here. All of them saw the Sandman wreaking havoc on the town again. Sue turned up the volume of the news as all of them looked at Kathrine Mulligan reporting the event.
"...This is Katerine Mulligan on the scene where the Sandman is attacking Royal Woods," The newswoman said. She was in a hiding spot in a safe distance from the havoc. "The villainous sand monster has appeared in the middle of Central Royal Woods and started thrashing cars. Police respond to gather people out and deal with the Sandman," The camera switches to police officers opening fire on the Sandman; the bullets went through due to his sand abilities. Sandman's hands switch into a pair of large hammers. By swinging one hammer on a police car, it sends the officers to move out of the way quickly. Sandman is met with a barrage of bullets on his left. "But he's not alone," One officer is sent to a tree from a punch that sent him to a tree; that punch was powerful to send him over thanks to a gauntlet. The rest of the officers (plus the viewers at home) saw a man wearing a dark red and yellow wreaster-like armed bodysuit and a pair of gauntlets that fired compassed airs
Both Lincoln and Peter know who this person is aiding Sandman. "The Shocker!" He said in union.
The officers turned to the villain known as The Shocker and fired their weapons at him. "A strange man in a weird wrestler suit came out of nowhere to take care of the police," Katherine said, eyeing on the second villain. The Shocker punched one officer and sent three more across the streets.
"Perfect, two villains in one day!" Lori exclaimed loudly. Lincoln nudged Peter on the shoulder to get his attention. Peter already knew the answer. As everyone was glued to the t.v screen, both of them backed away and left to battle the two foes.
"This is a disaster!" Myrtle expresses in horror. "Those scoundrels are destroying the town!"
"I'm sure Hercules and Spider-Man will be there," Lana said right as Shocker destroyed the store with his gauntlets.
"He better swee-Hey, where's Lincoln and Peter?" Albert said to Lana but paused when he saw both grandson and his friend were gone.
"I saw those two running out and leaving the building. I told them no running but they wouldn't listen," Sue said bitterly as she entered the living room.
"Why would they run?" Myrtle asked in confusion.
"Sorry dad, Myrtle. We better leave as well. Something came up!" Rita suddenly said. She and her family quickly left. Both Albert and Myrtle are left with more confusion. The family all pile inside Vanzilla. Before Lynn Sr can drive away, the grandparents appear in Rita's side window.
"Where are you folks going?" Albert asked.
"To see Hercules and Spider-Man fighting!" Leni shouted.
"Leni!" The family exclaimed to the dizzy sister who covered her mouth at what she had just said.
"Hey, what are you two doing outside?! You're late for an arts and crafts session!" Sue shouted at the two couples.
"Got room for two?" Albert asked. "We hate arts and crafts," Myrtle opens the van sliding door and she and Albert get inside. "Sue, we're taking a field trip with the family!" Lynn Sr drives away from the retirement center, making Sue madder.
"Come back here or there's going to be hell to pay!" Sue declared, waving her fist at them.
At Central Royal Woods, people are still running away from The Sandman who has been on the run since he came to town from Queens. As if things couldn't get much complicated, another villain appeared, The Shocker. When he was hiding from the cops, the Sandman had contacted The Sinister Six in bringing another member in Royal Woods. He was hoping for Molten Man or Dr. Octopus, but the Sinister Six had problems of their own. Instead, they decided to send in The Shocker.
Herman Schultz went to Sandman's side who was busy smashing things to scare the cops away. He said castically from his helmet, "I was surprised that the boss sent me here to handle your problem regarding some brat in a toga costume."
"You'll meet him," Sandman said as he sent a mini sand storm at a couple of people knocking them down. "This kid isn't orderly. You saw how he took down Sytsevich and Morris," The sand elemental continued his attack on the town. Shocker turned his head to the right and fired a compressed shock wave with a large frequency to a group of people.
In a cafe shop, Lori and Leni's friends, Carol, Becky, Dana, Whitney, Jackie, Fionia, Miguel, and Chaz are hiding inside. The gang were having a day off and decided to go to the cafe shop. However, their moment was interrupted by the appearance of The Sandman and his accomplice who came later.
"This is the most screwed up day ever!" Dana shouted who was crouching down.
"We gotta stay here till the coast is clear!" Carol urges the gang to keep a cool head or risk exposing themselves to the two villains.
"Chaz doesn't like this!" Chaz cried hiding behind a chair. The gang are watching both villains from the large window. The gang sat there as the only people left in the shop. Shocker walks to the street with his vibro-smashers gear up. Seeing the villain with those crazy devices on both wrists cause the gang to lower their heads to not get spotted. With Shocker still looking for targets, Chaz summons his phone to record the villain.
"Are you crazy?!" Becky whispered harshly. "Put it away!" Chaz ignores her and his friends urging him to put his phone down to record one of Spider-Man's villains. Fionia grabs Chaz's phone, and the overweight teenager plays tug of war with her. Unfortunately, the two had their heads exposed just by the top to get Shocker's attention. With a smirk, Shocker aims his right gauntlet up to take care of the people hiding in the cafe shop. Before he could fire, he was kicked in the chest by a pair of feets.
"Hiya Herman!" Spider-Man landed on the ground after delivering that kick to the villain. "Fancy meeting you here!" He said in a cool town.
"It's Spider-Man!" Miguel pops his head in excitement.
Next to Spider-Man was Hercules. "And Hercules!" Becky squealed.
"Oh, so you're Hercules," Shocker gestures at the hero next to his arch-nemesis. Sandman, looking at both heroes finally appear, appear next to Shocker in a sand swift. "Hey Marko, this kid is the one giving you the trouble?" He asked his fellow partner in crime as he looked at Hercules. With what he learned on the news, he was surprised to see the hero who took down Rhino and Hydro Man as a child.
"It's two against two, Spider-Man. Who are you going to fight?" Sandman declares at the Web Slinger to choose an opponent.
"Who do you wanna fight?" Spider-Man asked Hercules. Hercules glanced at both Sandman and Shocker for no less than a minute.
"I'll take Shocker," Hercules answered. "I've already dealt with Hydro Man nearly drowning me. Don't need to be buried by a mountain of sand," Spider-Man nods his head and warns him to be careful in dealing with the villain. Not having abilities such as Hydro Man and Sandman, Shocker is equipped with a pair of gauntlets that fire high pressure shock waves.
"Let's take this somewhere else so my little buddy can handle the rejected wrestler," Spider-Man said to Sandman, also remarking to Shocker's outfit. With Sandman turning his attention at him, Spider-Man quickly swung to another location to fight. Sandman follows him, leaving Shocker alone with Hercules.
Shocker smashed both his fist together to trigger small sparks from his gauntlets. "You ready to handle the likes of The Shocker, boy?" He declared in an arrogant tone.
"Dude, you're going to regret those words," Hercules smirked, taking a runner pose.
Shocker fired another compassed air blast at Hercules. The hero with the unbreakable skin dodge. Remembering what Spider-Man had said regarding what Shocker can do, he needed to be careful of being blasted by a compressed shock wave. Hercules, resume a runner starting pose, charges at Shocker. Shocker then fired a compressed air, making Hercules stop his run to be sent a few feets.
Shocker aimed at the hero, prompeting Hercules to run and take cover behind a car. He took a sight of his mentor swinging above Sandman who was using his fist that was enlarged to smash him.
"Come on out, boy!" Shocker shouted, firing a compassed vibro shock blast at a shop in anger. Hercules huff in slight shock.
"Can't stay hidden to avoid those blasts," Hercules muttered, his hands touching the car's side door. Despite being super strong, he was defenseless against those powerful gauntlets Shocker has. The only option was throwing something he can find. Hercules ripped the car door out of its hinges; he exposed himself in front of Shocker's eyes, though his head was covered by that mechanical helmet.
Hercules threw the door at Shocker, except the door got blown away from Shocker's blasts. With his guard down a little, Hercules smashes his fist at Shocker's helmet, pompeting the villain to step back. Hercules was surprised Shocker was standing after he delivered a punch at his helmet.
"You're not knocking me down that easy," Shocker chuckled, the helmet had got a small dent at the bottom right. He recharges his vibro-smashers, making Hercules groan.
"Perfect," Hercules crosses his arms together before getting blasted again.
Spider-Man sticks himself to the wall of an apartment building. Sandman formed into his giant sand beast similar to how Hydro-Man made himself bigger when Spider-Man and Hercules fought him in Italy. Spider-Man fires a web and jumps out of the wall to swing himself at Sandman's head. With a quick punch, he hit Sandman in the eye.
"Argh!" Sandman roar, a mixture of fury and pain. He attempts to grab Spider-Man by one of his giant hands.
"Can't catch me, Marko?" Spider-Man mocks after firing another web to evade being grabbed. "Is the Sandman losing his touch?"
Sandman process to use both hands to smash his enemy like someone would do to get a fly. Spider-Man lets go of his web rope and lands on the ground. Spotting a nearby engine of a police cruiser, Spider-Man tags it with a web sling. Grabbing it with both hands, he swung the engine at Sandman's massive right leg. The engine exploded on impact, destroying the leg that caused the sand beast to drop on its last leg. Spider-Man fired two webs at both the sand beast's shoulders. He fling himself at Sandman's face, flipping his body to give a spinning kick at it. Sandman is then hit by a web sling; Spider-Man swings around Sandman's back to use both legs through the sand beast hard enough to bring Marko down to the ground.
"Ha, ha, way a go, Spider dude!" Luna cheered. The Loud family are watching the fight from a safe distance. Vanzilla had arrived after Sandman had returned along with Shocker to help. Lori and Luan had their phones out to record both fights. Lori recording Spider-Man fighting Sandman and Luan recording Hercules (her little brother) fighting Shocker, and the rest of the family act as audiences.
"Honey, are you sure we should be watching this?" Albert asked her daughter who wasn't fond of the idea of being involved in the battlefield while both villains are attacking. Both him and his girlfriend are invited to watch instead of being trapped another minute in the retirement home with Sue in charge. The family revealed why they were here, and kept both Peter and Lincoln's identities a secret. But not for long.
"You're missing out on the excitement, Pop-pop," Lynn Jr said to her grandfather to ease on the worrying.
"Spider-Man is doing great fighting Sandman," Lana commented on Spider-Man's idea of taking out said villain while he was in his giant sand form.
"Guys, Hercules is trouble!" Luan called out, propetming everyone to turn their heads at the other battle. The comedian's cries of the other hero made them worry at Hercules having a tough time fighting Shocker.
Despite his efforts to fight Shocker, Hercules doesn't stand a chance against the villain's vibro-smashers that negates his super strength abilities. During how he was going to wind, Hercules avoided several shock waves and used what he could to throw Shocker off his guard. By throwing from what he ripped out from cars, the young hero marches to the villain to punch. Though Shocker's armor was strong against receiving blunt injuries. To make this even harder, Hercules had received a punch by those fancy gizmos.
"Heheh, you're looking a little scared," Shocker chuckled, aiming to hit Hercules.
"I ain't scared. I'm a hero," Hercules said back, though inside the villain was right. Hercules can't get too close to Shocker or he'll receive another shock punch.
"Your strength is inferior to what I have on my arms," Shocker gloats at his vibro-smasher as a point of his advantage. "Didn't want to bring anything to help you? Like a sword perhaps?"
"I don't need a sword when I get through to you," Hercules growled a little. He throws a punch. Shocker blocks it by his arm; his vibro-smasher on his other arm charges as he hits Hercules in the chest. It sent him to seventeen feet and hit his back on the sidewalk.
"Aw what?! That guy's cheating!" Lynn Jr complained.
"He's not cheating, Lynn. That foe is equipped with what appears to be a pair of vibro-smashers that focus an intense frequency that triggers a concentrated blast of compressed shock wave," Lisa analyzed on the device Shocker has on both his wrists.
Hercules gets back up and rolls around from another compressed air blast. Hercules runs around Shocker to punch him in the back, but is stopped by another shock wave.
"Agh, little bro better do something if he wants to pin that Shocker dude!" Luna expresses in dismay. Both grandparents were locking on the fight, their heads peak with what their inspiring rockstar granddaughter had said.
"Why did you refer to Hercules as little bro, honey?" Albert asked what Luna had referred to the young hero. The rockstar then noticed what she had said with her eyes widing, the same as the entire family. They struggle to answer to both grandparents.
"Um, you see, Albert, Myrtle-" Lynn Sr attempts to lie to both the couple before he is cut off when Hercules is smashed onto Vanzilla with a loud smash. The Loud family pop their heads out to see the young hero on the ground.
"Lincoln!" Both Lana and Lola shouted, seeing how their big brother was hurt by Shocker's punches.
"Lincoln?" Albert and Myrtle said in union, both are surprised.
Hercules gets up after receiving a punch from Shocker from a distance. Unbreakable skin he may have, but he can feel the slight electricity from his armor. Turning to his family, he opened his mouth, but stopped upon the shock looks of Pop-pop and Gram-gram. Both the grandparents, despite the hero was covered by the hood of his cloak, saw the familiar chipped tooth that could belong to their grandson.
"Guys, you need to leave! This guy is tough!" Lincoln said to his family, not feeling unfazed by the fact his grandparents had seen what he could do.
"Lincoln, you're Hercules?!" Myrtle shouted in shock.
"I'll explain later, Gram-gram!" Hercules said to his step-grandmother and turned to his enemy. Shocker marches forward to the young hero, his vibro-smashers charging up again.
"Giving up, boy?" He asked, the villain felt another round coming up against the young hero.
"Lincoln, you got a plan, right? Cause you literally can't fight someone who can punch you with those gauntlets on his wrists," Lori said to her little brother. She didn't need to refer to her little brother as his superhero name now that the secret was out.
"I just need to override those devices," Lincoln guessed, thinking this was the only idea he could defeat Shocker. "You guys still need to leave."
Shocker smashed his fist together before yelling "I'm not done with you!"
Lincoln's father felt he should take his son's words for account and drive his van away from the fight so the white haired boy can deal with Shocker.
"You really don't want them here to see you defeated?" Shocker remarked, referring to the family that was here before Hercules sent them to leave.
Hercules didn't choose to answer back. His only plan of defeating Shocker was overriding his gauntlets. To do that, he needs to make Herman increase the frequency. However, he doesn't want to risk destroying more buildings. He couldn't see any more witnesses, yet he can't take the chance of them being in the way of getting hit by Shocker. Shocker was waiting for an answer from Hercules; the young hero, instead of replying, ran away.
"Running away already?! Too bad I like the thrill of hunting down snot-nosed punks!" Shocker exclaimed, his arms down to his sides with his devices pointing at the ground. He fired, making the villain fling up into the air.
Vanzilla never went away after Lincoln told them so. They hide to another clear distance to watch the battle between Lincoln and Shocker. Lincoln said he has a plan to override Shocker's vibro-smashers, which negates every opportunity the white haired boy came close. Instead of sticking to the plan, Hercules ran away and Shocker followed him with the most unexpected way.
"Those shocker gloves things are a nightmare!" Luan shouted, seeing the villain in the air and fired a compressed air at her little brother.
"Rita, why is my other half fighting a manic with those crazy gloves? And why is Spider-Man there?" Albert asked, still flabbergasted the fact his grandson was the town's new superhero. He had questions in his head regarding what he and his girlfriend had learned.
"Pop-pop, Lincoln's a hero because Lisa found out he's a mutant," Rita revealed, shocking more to her dad and his girlfriend.
"The day when Lincoln saved lives from the accident in Jackman 127, I investigated how he survived with no internal injuries and broken bones. His DNA consists of mutant DNA that has stayed dominant for the past twelve years," Lisa explains the truth of Lincoln's secret of being a mutant.
"A mutant?" Myrtle repeated while gasping.
"He has crazy superhuman strength and unbreakable skin that can't leave without a scratch!" Lynn Jr shouted in telling Lincoln's abilities.
"And he can look into the past and future from anyone he touches!" Leni added the extra part.
"Lincoln's a great hero, Pop-pop, Gram-gram," Lucy spoke in her usual tone, yet she shared what her siblings were talking about. "Mr. Stark recommended him to join the Avengers."
"I never believe my eyes when my other half is a superhero," Albert shook his head in disbelief. "And what about Spider-Man?" He asked about the web slinger, who is still fighting Sandman.
"He's Linky's mentor, just like Peter," Leni said, unintentionally revealing Spider-Man's identity.
Hercules kept running away from Shocker. He didn't expect Shocker flinging by his devices and firing from the air. Shocker shouted after firing another shock wave, "You can't keep running from the Shocker!"
"Egoistic much?" Hercules remarked. The young hero was running for about ten minutes. The idea of Shocker overriding his vibro-smashers was still in his head. So far, he needed to find a safer place to do so without over damaging a building or injuring someone. From above, he was too focused though he didn't see Shocker firing more from his devices to fling in more distances. Shocker landed on the ground, blocking Hercules's path.
"Gotcha!" Shocker declared. Hercules is then punched by Shocker's vibro-smashers, and is sent into the windows of Royal Woods First National Bank. Hercules slides to the floor, and stops at the center.
Hercules got back up, as Shocker entered the bank through the broken window. Seeing the empty building brought a delightful whistle tune from the villain.
"The First National Bank," Shocker sprayed his arms apart to take it all in. "After I deal with you and Marko handles Spidey, I'll take some loot for myself as payment for my services," He crackles both his knuckles, his devices charging up in getting ready to defeat the boy who is the hero of the town.
But Hercules wasn't backing down. "You're not taking not one bag of money from my town, Herman," He declared, both his fist clutching. His eyes scan on Shocker's vibro-smashers with knowing in his eyes, the only way to defeat Shocker if he plans this right. They were both in the empty national bank. High security was level at, he might guess, not so top but can stop any two-bit robbers.
Shocker marches forward to punch Hercules, Hercules ducks down and runs around to Shocker's right side. He delivered a punch at Shocker's chest. Shocker, combining both hands together, brought down the young boy, only to be stopped by a gut punch. Hercules jumped back from a quick vibrational shield made by the villain.
"Marko was right when he said you were a tough hero to beat," Shocker admitted as he fired a blast at Hercules, forcing him to crouch down. "Taking care of you will be a hoot."
"How much is Marko paying you, or how much are you getting pay?" Hercules asked, leaping to grab the handle to the second floor. Shocker fired more shock waves at the hero. The ground beneath Hercules shook from the vibration. "Seriously, the gang you worked with sent you here to deal with a little kid who can literally knock you out with one punch?" He ran around the floor while Shocker kept firing. He then fires at the ground below, and flies through like a slingshot. Hercules slammed Shocker to the wall with a shoulder slam.
"You could've handled me already," Hercules continued to taunt him, triggering Shocker to fire compressed shock waves. Hercules dodge all to land another punch to Shocker's helmet, and throws multiple punches at the chest.
"Quit talking!" Shocker shouted, having enough of the kid talking during the fight. Hercules saw a small water fountain before ripping it off the ground. The fountain is thrown to Shocker, right as he destroys it. Then Hercules came charging like a running back to slam him. Shocker targets a pillar and rip through the foundation by a high frequency shock wave. Hercules halted to let the pillar fall where he was going. The shock wave then hit the pillar to cause it to move, prompting Hercules to grab it with both hands. Hercules pushes it back, sliding it to the villain.
"Argh!" Shocker yelled as the pillar was pushed into him and sent to the wall.
"Give up, Shocker! That suit of yours is probably damaged to cause you to have broken ribs!" Hercules shouted. The pillar that trapped Shocker begins to vibrate, and with a loud shock wave, the entire structure is exploded. Hercules stepped back when Shocker emerged from the wall after freeing himself from his trap. "Oh, brother," He muttered in annoyance.
Shocker growl, moving his arms around. The armor was surprisingly still without any marks, especially when Hercules sent that piller at him. Before Hercules can act, Shocker fires an ultra shock wave at him. Hercules is sent out of the second floor, and falls to his supposed demise. Luckly, he was saved by a lone web sling at his right arm courtesy of his mentor.
"Gotcha, pal!" Spider-Man shouted, he was stuck on a pillar with his right arm extended when he fired the web. With the web, he safely landed Hercules to the ground.
"Thanks," Hercules thanked his mentor.
"How's your fight with Herman?" Spider-Man asked casically. He got his answer when Shocker jumped from the second floor and fired his shock waves on the ground as he landed. "Oh."
"How's your fight with Sandman? Did you win?" Hercules asked his mentor in the same tone.
The sound of a window smashed alarmed both heroes as a sand storm entered the building. Moving to the ground, Sandman revealed himself with a cross expression.
"He's mad," Hercules said in the most obvious tone.
Shocker saw his accomplice had entered the bank after Spider-Man had come to save his partner. He was livid that the web menace had to butt into his plans with the young hero as he finally got him what he wanted. Last he remembered before fighting Hercules was that Marko was chosen to fight Spider-Man. "Hey Marko, I thought you already handled that web menace!" He shouted at the sand villain.
"And you were supposed to take care of that brat!" Sandman yelled back as a remark. The man then grinned as he slammed his right hand to the palm of his other hand, "Looks like it's a tag team match!"
Shocker puts his arms up, his vibro-smashers charges again ready to fight the young hero of Royal Woods. Sandman's left hand forms a giant spiked mace, still with that look at Spider-Man. Both heroes had their backs pressed against each other as they stared down at one foe. Both heroes and villains didn't see a drone coming inside the bank; the very same drone that Lisa Loud invented to watch Lincoln's new life as an Avenger. Outside of the bank, the Loud family are seeing the battle from Lisa's remote control that had a screen on top. The family manage to find where their sole son/ brother was thanks to Lisa's GPS of the chips installed in every member. They arrived in time to see Spider-Man and Sandman enter the bank where a tag team is about to commence.
"Sweet, a tag team!" Lynn Jr shouted in glee.
"Can we do something to help the poor boys?" Myrtle asked in worry.
"Don't worry, Gram-gram," Lori reassures her step-grandmother. "Lincoln and Peter literally got this."
The drone flew above the roof and turned invisible. Hercules and Spider-Man continue to stare at their challenger like any opponent does at a wrestler match. "Psst. Lincoln. You got a plan?" Spider-Man whispered to his student in their conversation.
"I had one involding Shocker's devices," Hercules replied. "I wanted him to get all riled up so he overridden them," The young hero kept his eye on Shocker's vibro-smashers. From his cloak, his eyes saw tiny sparks lit up from them. Shocker failed to notice his precious devices to break away his stare down.
"Don't be a fool to Herman, Lincoln. That guy is crazy than Jameson trying to start an anti me day." Spider-Man reassures him. "And nice place to fight him, though I'm not sure how you can destroy a pair of vibro-smashers in a bank."
"I'm not sure this bank's security isn't enough to do so," Lincoln replied, his plan of using the bank's security against Shocker's vibro-smasher made him doubt. But he decided to go for it. "Let's hope I'm right!" He raised his voice up in determination. Spider-Man nods his head at his student's plan even if he finds it odd.
Tired of waiting, Sandman threw his sand shift spike mace at Spider-Man. Spider-Man flipped back to avoid the mace. Hercules dodges the same wave from Shocker's shock wave.
"Hold still so I can end your life!" Shocker shouted angrily. More shock waves fired as it destroyed several aspects of the bank's interior.
"You're going to have to do better than that, Herman!" Hercules taunted.
Spider-Man jumped to the top of the piler from dodging the spiked mace. Sandman threw the mace at him; Spider-Man performed some acrobatic moves by jumping around the chain and slid down and fired multiple web shots. Sandman receives the web shots, and a kick in the face. A slight growl escaped his lips, and Sandman shifted his right hand to form into a large hammer with spikes on its body.
"Ahhh!" Sandman raises his spiked hammer to strike Spider-Man, making the web slinger to quickly turn his body around to send his foot at the sand villain's torso. It sent his foot through, Spider-Man sent a web rope at Sandman's hammer to pull his entire body. Sandman is flipped to the ground. Spider-Man went up to slam the sand villain's body as he was down and proceeded to punch his face.
"Gotta be quicker, Marko!" Spider-Man remarked as he punched his left cheek. Sandman couldn't use his spiked hammer to knock the web slinger, but he went on another method. Spider-Man immediately stops his punches when his spidey sense is triggered.
Spider-Man jumps away as a giant hand is formed from out of Sandman's chest. But it grabs a hold of Spider-Man's left foot. The web slinger is brought down to the ground; the hand trapped his entire body. The giant hand is shifted back to Sandman's regular left hand, with the limb being bigger to still trapping the hero.
Sandman grinned evilly, his other hand with the spiked hammer raised up above Spider-Man's head. He proceeded to behead the hero when he heard Hercules shouting.
"Hey Sandface! Heads up!" Sandman looked up to see a shock wave hit him, and sent him to a pillar.
"Damn!" Shocker cursed, he meant to hit Hercules instead of hitting his accomplice.
"You gotta work your aim, Hermy!" Hercules jokes, standing next to Spider-Man. He pointed at himself to further humiliate Shocker. "You're fighting me!"
Luan laughed at how her brother fooled Shocker "Good one, Lincoln!"
"Ahhhh!" Shocker shouted in fury, his gauntlets revving up before a huge shock wave was fired.
Spider-Man chuckled at his student's cleverness before looking at Sandman, who was angry at that blast made by his accomplice. Spider-Man resumed his position by couching down, "Gotta love my student," He remarked.
"When Schultz is done with him you won't need a partner to save your ass!" Sandman declared, with a little memo to himself to deal with that idiot after they take care of both Spider-Man and Hercules. Sandman's left hand returned, shifting into the same spiked hammer as Spider-Man resumed fighting him.
Shocker was having a bad time of winning his fight against that snot nose brat called Hercules. The hero kept taunting him that made him miss his shock waves directing at him. Aftering missing an attack that was near three feet at him, Hercules slammed a punch at Shocker's helmet. The helmet had several dents that the young hero had made during the ongoing fight. He wasn't going to be beaten down by a young boy playing hero any longer. Targeting his enemy, Shocker processes to hit Hercules back, finally landing on a direct hit. Hercules got sent to the room where the vault was.
"Lincoln!" Albert cried in worry. The family watched as Shocker followed the direction of the room. Lisa moved the drone, which was still invisible, into the room the villain had punched Lincoln.
Hercules got back up before his head turned to one vault was left open after their little brawl. Inside were dozens of safety deposit boxes around the room. He thought back of his plan involving the bank's security system. It was a slim chance the security can cause Shocker to override his vrbo-smashers. Hercules took the chance of going along with his plan further, and entered inside the room.
Shocker caught him entering the open vault and proceeded to find him there. Seeing his prey trapped made the villain grinned behind his damaged helmet. "No use of running away now!" Shocker declared. He lifts one arm up, and punches the computer pad next to the vault. This causes the large vault door to automatically move to prepare to lock the safe with Shocker and Hercules. The drone moved inside once Shocker stepped inside.
The vault closed. Hercules was trapped with The Shocker. The Shocker had finally got his way of ending the hero's life, not realizing this was what his prey wanted him to do.
"You got nowhere to run!" Shocker exclaimed, his plan of ending the hero's life was about to commence.
The family is now worried Lincoln was locked inside the bank vault with Sandman's partner. The drone was also there without being detected from both of them.
"Linky locked inside with that crazy guy!" Leni shouted with worry, her hands clutch on the car seat.
"Some of us have to go there to save him!" Myrtle shouted, not wanting to see her grandson died.
"Lincoln has a plan! He's got to!" Lori reassures them to keep them in check. The family resume looking at the fight from Lisa's remote control.
Shocker's vibro-smashers are fully charged as the villain laughs evilly. Hercules stared back at Shocker with narrowed eyes. His hands touch the deposit box right as balling them into fists.
"Spidey mentor isn't here to save you," Shocker taunted.
Hercules ran straight at Shocker, and bent his back to avoid the villain swinging his right gauntlet. Shocker brought down his other gauntlet with a roar at the hero below his level; Hercules grabbed it with both hands to stop him, with the boy now feeling the electricity from the device coursing at him. Shaking the shock, Hercules tied the device to send Shocker's entire body to the wall.
Shocker quickly gets up to run at Hercules with both arms aiming at him to slam the young boy into the wall. He grabbed Hercules's neck in fury and proceeded to hit him with his other device. He didn't last trapping the young hero longer as Shocker received an uppercut. Hercules slammed Shocker with an elbow swing to bring him down.
Hercules is blasted by a shock wave; Shocker saw he was down and quickly went to grab the kid by the back of his neck. Hercules swung his left arm at Shocker's helmet, but it stopped when the villain grabbed his arm. Chuckling to himself he got the boy trapped again, Shocker began to bend his left arm into breaking it. To his shock, he didn't hear any cries or the sound of bones break.
"Didn't your buddy tell you that I'm unbreakable?" Hercules said with a smirk. He planted his feets on the wall and bent down, flipping himself to the back of Shocker. He wrapped his arms around Shocker's neck.
Shocker is now trapped under the young boy's arms. Small as he was just like Marko had said, the kid was still stronger than he looks. Shocker struggles to break away with his arms trying to reach him.
"Ahh, get off of me!" Shocker shouted. His devices are ready to shock him at full capacity. Hercules moved his hand at Shocker's helmet to crush it. Shocker can feel the metal from his helmet cutting off his breath.
"Lincoln better hurry; those arm guards are ready to deliver some kind of ultimate move," Albert said after seeing Shocker's vibro-smashers charging to shock his grandson.
Shocker walked backwards to slam Hercules at the wall several times. Hercules kept hold of the villain's neck. "I'm gonna shock your heart into overdrive!" He shouted in more fury and more of his oxygen wasting. The young hero saw both Shocker's vibro-smashers ready to unleash. His arms raise up to target the hero. Hercules saw this as an opportunity.
He flipped in front of the villain and gave Shocker a hard punch. Shocker grunt as he felt his armor had failed him from that punch. He dropped his guard down. Hercules then grabbed hold of both vibro-smashers and held them at the ceiling.
The shock waves fired to the ceiling, and the alarm from the vault had triggered.
"What in tarnation?" Albert said at what just unfolded.
"Lincoln's plan," Lana smiled in glee.
Shocker saw what his shock wave had fired before turning to Hercules in dismay. Before asking, the metal from his damaged helmet was taking a turn for his breathing. He discarded the helmet to reveal a mid-thirties African American with shaven hair. "What the hell did you do?" He asked, finally breathing despite the room being filled with smoke.
The alarm activates a cloud of smoke from the air vents. The entire room is covered by a thick layer of smoke. Hercules braced himself while Shocker looked around the room as he was still confused about what was unfolding. The drone was also covered by the smoke. Lisa activated the motion detector on the drone. The screen shows both the hero and villain's heat motion.
Shocker looked around to find Hercules under the smoke that triggered thanks to his shock waves. "You think you're safe under that smoke? You won't last more than five minutes until the vents activate again," He called out to the hero and his plan. Shocker's vibro smasher activates, and rushes at one spot where he thinks Hercules was at.
Instead of hitting the hero, he hit a deposit box. Shocker growled at his poor choice; he felt something touching his exposed head from the back that made him revved his vibro-smashers. Shocker yelled, ramming his arm at another safety deposit box. He continues making guesses and keeps slamming into more safety deposit boxes. Sick of making poor choices. Shocker then fired shock waves at the room.
"Aaaahhh, stop hiding from me!" Shocker shouted, firing more shock waves at the vault room.
"Jeez, that guy is shock full of anger," Luan joked at Shocker's temper.
"But where's Lincoln?" Rita wondered where her son was under that smoke.
"He's hiding inside the smoke," Lucy answered at the obvious.
Shocker kept firing more shock waves he could manage. After firing every direction of this small room, Shocker stopped his attack. A grin appears on his face as he thinks he finally got the hero. The smoke in the room is fading away from the ventilation system being turned on from security.
"I got you, hero," Shocker said in satisfaction.
But he got a reply that shocked him.
"Or did you?"
Turning around, he spotted Hercules who was still alive and received no damage from his shock waves "How?!" He demanded.
"Did I also mention despite being really strong with unbreakable skin, I can also look into people's minds to peek what they'll do next?" Hercules said in the most mocking tone.
"Ha, ha, eat on that!" Lynn Jr gloated.
Shocker breathed in anger and raised his fists up to fight the boy again. Then he said something that stopped the villain.
"If you're gonna fight, I suggest you might want to take a close look at your arms," Shocker, despite how Hercules had mocked him more, took his words to see his vibro-smashers. His devices are sparking up with tiny electricity. Smoke from them rose up like a computer being overheating after using it for a long time. Shocker couldn't believe it; he tried recharging them only receiving more sparks. "Looks like your devices are out of order," He said, further mocking the villain at using his gauntlets the longest.
Shocker was then finally given the reason why his devices aren't working property. "You...You lured me in, just so I can waste my vibro-smashers?!" He shouted.
"Bingo, bud," Hercules said, giving him a thumbs up for his correct answer. "Without your fancy shock gloves, you're defenseless over a real punch," He crackled both his hands that sent Herman frozen like a deer caught in the headlights. Hercules reel back a punch and sent it right at Herman's face. Herman is sent to the ground after receiving a blow, now unconscious.
"That a boy, Lincoln!" Albert cheered while Myrtle clapped her hands. The Loud family cheered at their sole son/ brother taking down his enemy.
The thick smoke is cleared out thanks to the ventilation system. Hercules glances at Shocker's unconscious body before seeing the devices on his arms. Crouching down, he took off both gauntlets to inspect them.
"What's the little bro doing with those things?" Luna wondered why her brother had picked Shocker's shock gloves.
"Perhaps he's keeping them as a trophy," Lynn Jr said, eyeing on those gloves with interest. "He could use them as his weapons."
"Good idea. And I can work with them," Lisa added, sharing the same feeling as her older sister.
"Just so you don't wake up to try to kill me," Hercules said. Both his hands crush the devices, destroying them for good.
"Awww, man!" Lynn Jr pouted and Lisa snapped her fingers in dismay.
Dropping the now destroyed gauntlets, Hercules' next step was to figure out a way out of the vault room. And sure as he guessed it, the vault safe began to open again. Popping out as the person responsible who opened it was his mentor.
"Hey," Spider-Man waved. "How was your fight?" He got his answer at the sight of his student next to Shocker's unconscious body. "Wow, you did it! And you destroyed his weapons!"
"Told you I had a plan," Hercules shrugged. "Where's Sandman?" Spider-Man laughs a little to grab something next to him. In both his hands was Sandman; his entire body wrapped in web.
"We did good," Hercules commented as he carried Shocker's body on his right shoulder.
Spider-Man watches his student stepping out of the vault room, and pat his back for his effort. Both villains have been stopped and are now being carried out of the building.
"What a day, huh?" Spider-Man asked how this day turned out. "Two bad guys in one day."
"I didn't think Shocker was going to come here to make me pop out," Hercules said back.
"In the end, we got them. And you lasted a round with old Herman you got carrying," Spider-Man acknowledged the fact they won the battle, and his student fought and won a match against Shocker. "Now all we gotta do is leave them in a secret location for Fury to pick them up," He suggested leaving them in the hands of Fury instead of the police before they arrived.
Hercules nodded his head until his eyes caught the drone leaving the bank. He metally facepalm as he forgot what he learned during his face with Shocker. "Peter, after we leave them to Fury, you gotta come to my house and talk to my grandparents."
Spider-Man turned his head in curiosity, "What for?"
"They know I'm Hercules, and you're Spider-Man."

"Oh, shit."
I worked on this over a week now. I'm not sure what the next chapter will be about. I'm going to work on Loud Without Fear and possibly Kunoichi of Royal Woods (if I have the inspiration). As for looking for Loud House episodes, I know that season four has ended with the new episodes they released. I've watched them on YouTube and what I can find on Instagram. But not the full episodes on the Casagrandes. How did you like Pop-pop telling the story of his friend Stan (i.e Stan Lee)? I know the passing of Pop-pop's voice actor, Fred Willard, and I wanted to put a small scene of Pop-pop sharing a small story of his late friend in this chapter. If you wanna send a message regarding the story, don't hold back. I'll see you all later. Don't forget to check on my brand new story. See you later, and stay safe from the virus. NiteOwl18 out.
