Chapter 5: Shadow Island Arc 1
Yo guys geo here with a small update for the United as this is the start of the story's first major story Arc Last time this chapter was super short so I decided to merge chapter's 5 and 6 into one big chapter anyway I hope you all enjoy.
Warning first half of this Chapter contains graphic imagery YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Lincoln could feel the faint beating of his heart as his eyes shot open. He couldn't move his body only his eyes on either side of him. He could see Leni, Luna and Lisa crying their eyes out as Luan lucy lynn and the twins were all trying not to cry.
Faintly in the background Lincoln could hear lori arguing with his parents over what had happened to him as Lincoln tried to lift his hand he felt it was somewhat restrained and that he could hardly move it.
'What's going on am I in the hospital?' he thought as he slowly but surely lifted his hand and saw it was heavily bandaged.
'What the hell?' he thought as he noticed he was wearing a breathing mask and was connected to an air machine as Leni gently grabbed his hand.
"Lincoln….i…..i'm so sorry we should have ended this before it got this bad!' she sobbed as Lincoln gave her sympathetic eyes until the world around him began to flash.
Leni's once warm embrace was now cold and empty as her now rotting corpse was laying next to him.
'LENI!' Lincoln's eyes quickly scanned the area as he saw his sisters dead bodies Luna's torso was ripped in half, Luan was missing her right arm as roaches began to swarm out of her slit throat. Lana was hanging by her ripped out spinal cord as rats ate at her body, Lola's entire head was nailed to the wall by her eye sockets her body nowhere to be found.
'What's going on where am i!?' he thought in a panic as a voice reached out to him. "Sad isn't it?"
'Who's there?'
"They never loved you Lincoln, they've always hated you, that's why we killed them!" the voice spoke as Lincoln felt his body slowly moving as he stood up.
"We?...killed them?' he whispered.
"Yes that's right we killed them the ones who call themselves our family we killed all of them those that dare challenge us" it spoke again making looking at his hands covered in dry blood.
"Oh i remember it all so well the begging the pleading the apologizing all as poor baby lily was our first victim do you remember it Lincoln?"
"...yes…..i do" he said with a smirk as he remembered squeezing Lily's head until it exploded in a bloody mess all while her body disintegrated.
"Let's make the world around us suffer shall we?" the voice said as Lincoln stared at his hands with a smile on his face as he looked at the dried blood under his fingernails turning the skin into a pale grey color.
"...Yes….let's do so"
*GASP!*
Aboard the United Lincoln woke up with a fright as sweat dripped down his forehead.
"Lincoln are you ok?" he looked up and saw Lori elric staring at him in concern. "Lori?...why're you in my room?"
"You had a nightmare last night and wanted me to stay with you remember?" she spoke as he looked at his hands with a small feeling of dread. "...Yeah i….i guess so"
"Well if you want you can stay in bed for a while longer but remember geo wants to see us in a few hours okay?"
"Yeah...thanks lori" he spoke as she kissed his forehead and walked out of the room leaving him alone. "..That dream...it felt so real"
Meanwhile deep in the confines of the citadel a certain someone was giving a wicked smile.
"...Oh Lincoln of course it was real and soon we shall finally be one...geo can't protect you forever" Kid rot spoke as the screen faded to black leaving only his ominous smile.
*A Few Hours Later*
In the cloudy afternoon of Royal Woods three figures were seen they were Maggie, Benny and Luan walking into the Cemetery towards a specific gravestone. Which Read 'Here Lies Lincoln Abraham Loud a Good Son and Great Brother'
"I'm a terrible person." Luan sobbed with a very scratchy voice. as Benny held her close. "It wasn't your fault."
Maggie said with a sad look as she placed a hand on Luan's shoulder.
"YES IT IS IT'S ALL MY FAULT!" The Loud girl suddenly cried out In tears and regret as she fell to her knees with her hands on her hooded face as Benny Bent down and helped her up.
"Come on, it's starting to rain." Maggie spoke with a sad face as two figures stood behind them invisible to the naked eye.
"...She does care doesn't she?" Lincoln spoke sadly to Geo
"Yeah, we can see her some more in a bit if you want. Now's not a good time." the guardian spoke.
"Why?"
"1. I have a special task for you. And 2. This isn't real." Geo said while pressing a button on a remote, causing their surroundings to change to a white room with a single door. "That was just a flashback I recorded shortly after your…incident." The Guardian spoke while patting his back Softly , making him frown a bit as they left the room.
*Geos Office*
"So…what do you need from me?" he asked while sitting in a chair. "Well Linc-o I noticed that every once in awhile that Zynn keeps tackling you and handcuffing you"
"yeah...she still thinks I'm a Criminal"
"Exactly and led me to one conclusion you're scrawny and weak"
"Hey!"
"you know it's True that's why I came up with a solution to this problem!" He said with a smile.
"and that is?" Lincoln asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Training You! I'll be Sending you and Lori to an Island that I created"
"You created an island? By yourself?"
"Well of course not by myself! You think just one Rick built this place? No! I created several dozen shadow copies of myself to help me make it." Geo said with a smile as Lincoln was shocked.
"Seriously?!"
"Yeah Of course I'm not the only person to ever be there, but that's a story for another time." He chuckled while getting up And led him back outside his office.
*Later*
"HEY LORI ELLLLLLLLRRRRRRIIIIIIICCCCCCC!" Geo screamed Into a Microphone at the top of his lungs.
"Very Nice"
Lincoln said using his pinkie to clean his ear trying to stop the ringing noise he gained from Geo's scream as Lori walked over to them. "Yeah Geo what do you want? Its 4 o'clock in the morning" She said with a yawn and an annoyed expression.
"Hey Lori Get Dressed I'm Sending you and Lincoln to Shadow island"
"Why?"
"Cause look at his Arms they're Like Noodles!" Geo spoke grabbing Lincoln's Arm and flailing it.
"He Needs some Meat on these bones!"
"Then send him to the cafeteria!" she said, rolling her eyes.
"Weren't you the One who Cooked?" Geo spoke with a slight glare.
"Hey My food isn't that Bad!"
"YOU'RE LOUSY COOKING PUT TWELVE LUCY'S IN THE INFIRMARY!" Geo snapped.
"I DID NOT!...and in my defense, how was I supposed to know you don't put battery acid in cookies!?" She yelled with a Blush and crossed her arms Stubbornly.
"Anyway," Geo sighed. "So Lori how about it? You and Lincoln do some Training and Bonding" He said.
"...Ugh...Fine..." She grunted bitterly as Geo smiled and clapped his hands. "Perfect!" He said loudly as he grabbed their shoulders and smiled as they vanished into thin air.
*Elsewhere*
"Ugh, I'm gonna hurl." Lincoln groaned while dry heaving as Lori was already vomiting in sand. "How do you guys feel?"
"I need some Advil" Lori groaned
"Ehhhh No You Don't" Geo said Ignoring her groans of pain and vomiting noises.
"Welcome to Shadow Island,Lincoln and to a lesser extent, Lori."
"Hey! She growled as Geo Ignored her while still smiling brightly.
"So this is Shadow Island?" Lincoln asked, looking at the sandy beach.
"Yep feel free to look around Pal Just…don't touch anything that looks like a blueberry."
"Why?"
"You'll find out later TRAINING BEGINS NOW!" Geo exclaimed as he vanished
"Ok Lincoln let's start by Gathering firewood" Lori said while coughing a little and smiling as she stopped vomiting and walked beside him.
*Later*
"This place is so gloomy."
Lincoln said as he saw Lori was gone.
"Lori?"
"Lesson number 1 always watch out for traps" he heard her say from above and looked up and Jumped out of the way of a Swinging Log.
"Holy shit!" Lincoln exclaimed as he clutched his chest due to his heart excessively beating.
"LORI ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME WOMAN!?" He snapped with an angry glare as she snickered from her spot in the tree.
Jan 11"Be on your toes Squirt!" She told him With a smirk as Lincoln heard the ground creaking he looked own and saw that it was opening up he quickly jumped off the spot and just barely missed falling into a pit.
"WHOA!...that was close" he sighed as a pumpkin fell from the tree and smashed into his head.
"Ow." he groaned Making Lori snicker as he glared at him.
"Not funny," he told her. "It is." She said with a smile as She started chuckling.
*Later*
"Lesson two Think on your feet!" Lori said as she pushed Lincoln into the same pit from before. "Climb out the Pit Lincoln the Longer you Take the Bigger I'll Make it"
She threatened as He gave a Gulp and started to climb Slowly and falling several times in the process before reaching the top only to hear Lori clapping her hands and Extending the top of the Hole and Making it deeper.
"YOU FUCKING BIIIIIIIIIIIIIITCH!" He shouted while landing with a thud.
"Keep at it Linc!" She said with a grin before cackling…until the ground beneath her gave way, causing her to fall down with him. "Is it funny now?"
"Shut it, twerp." She muttered before Running up the walls and getting back to the top and clear her throat.
"Hurry it up Lincoln!" she said, clapping her hands and making the hole bigger making Lincoln sigh in annoyance.
*Two hours later*
Lori was leaning against a nearby stump asleep until she fell off waking her up.
"Wha huh?...…Lincoln?" She then looked back down the pit only to find it empty.
"Where'd he go?" She questioned as she looked around frantically until a few leaves fell in front of her and prompted her to look up as Lincoln jumped on her.
"GAH!" She yelled while falling on her back.
"Ow" She groaned as Lincoln Snickered and got up "I win!" He declared proudly as
Lori spat out some dirt. "Asshole." She muttered as she pushed him off and got up.
"Now then Let's go." Lori said with a bitter tone.
*Later*
The duo were currently walking through the jungle making their way to an unknown location.
"So, have you ever been here before Lori?" Lincoln asked his adopted sister.
"A Few Times why?"
"Do you know why he says not to eat anything that looks like a blueberry?"
"No, then again it might make us blow up…or he's a greedy bastard that wants them all to himself. But better not risk it." She spoke with a shrug as they made their way to a small shack.
"Ok Lincoln time for a little R and R and than afterwards more training" She said with a yawn as he went inside
*Geo*
Geo was sitting at his Desk watching everything from a Crystal Ball. " I admit i had my doubts but i didn;t think lori had it in her to be such a great teacher to lincoln yep Looks like all's going according to plan Soos Leni" Geo said to a leni that...for some odd reason looked like Soos from gravity falls just with leni's dress and blonde hair.
"Say Geo, do you get the feeling that You exist simultaneously in multiple parallel universes, completely unaware of the other Geo's very existence?" She asked him as Geo sighed.
"Ya been eating Dried Kool-aid again Soos Leni?"
'Hehehe got me again Geo!" she said as she took out a pack of the drink mix and shoved it in her mouth before happily walking off.
"Bless her heart" he said with a chuckle as his phone rang.
"Ya got the guardian" he answered.
"Sir, the new Batch of prisoners have arrived" Zori spoke on the other end.
"Excellent i'll be down in a flash Zori" he said as he hung up the phone and vanished in a puff of smoke,unaware that in his absence, the orb started glowing red and purple
*Elsewhere on the Island*
An odd blue bubble of energy formed deep in the jungle as four figures stepped out of it.
"Hmmmmmm I Smell Him~" a Voice Purred with a sultry smile.
"Calm down Leni that...Imposter is with Him!" Another voice Growled with malice. "Perhaps you should calm down with her."
A Swave Voice said with a very santa-esqe laugh.
"Grrrr Quiet all of you! We need to make a Plan!" A Deep Voice Growled. while a fist slammed against a tree.
"Aww is Kitty Kitty Mad?" A Cute yet Dangerous voice said
"Ooh berries!" Luan said as a very pale hand grabbed several dozen of them as the others looked at her. "What? Never know when you need a snack."
She said with a psychotic smile.
"Luan, did you Put up the Barrier we don't want that Bloated Ninny showing up!"
"Way ahead of you Lori did you call the others?"
"They're on the way, though their arrival may or may not be delayed."
"Good Enough for Me!" The first one said With a smirk as they went their separate ways.
*Lori Elric*
"This place seems a bit…small." Lincoln said with an awkward cough as he sat down in a chair To rest.
"It's not that small."
She said with a smile as she opened a door revealing a Fully Stocked Living Room filled with very nice furniture.
"Whoa Geo made this?" Lincoln said, shocked at the decor of the seemingly small shack they were in.
"There's also a Roller coaster, five swimming Pools and Twelve kinds of Root beer, plus regular beer."
She said while opening a mini fridge and downing a cold one. "Ok we'll rest for a Few Hours" She said with a burp as she pulled out a premade sandwich and started eating as Lincoln sighed.
"Something wrong?" she asked him.
"Lori...I'll Admit as much as I'm still pissed off...I miss my family" He said as she did a spit take and looked at him in disbelief.
"What!?" She exclaimed with wide eyes. "Lincoln are you crazy after what they did to you!?" She freaked out while getting up and shaking him And only dropping him when she got tired of it.
"Yeah but...I miss them that doesn't mean I forgive them…mostly."
"Mostly?!" She said with anger in her tone. "Lincoln they kicked you out and replaced you How could anyone forgive that?!"
"…I can…they may not be entirely smart, and quite a bit stubborn, but they're very emotional and learn their lessons…one way or another. Wasn't your family the same way?" He asked her with a sullen look in his eyes.
Lori flinched and looked down. "...I...I'm not sure I haven't seen my brothers in Years" She admitted sadly.
"What D…Did you…leave them?" he asked her as she sighed.
"No...It's...complicated" She admitted while rubbing her arm.
"Lori...Tell me, I can handle it." Lincoln muttered while grabbing her hand.
"Ok...Tell me what do you know of my Brothers Edward and Alphonse?" She asked him.
"Well, one has no body and the other has a Napoleon complex."
"Hehehe well yeah but What else"
"Well from what I've seen, it's basically a crippled midget trying to get his brother's body back with a rock made from genocide."
"No what I mean is do you know HOW they lost their bodies?"
"Uh…"
He trailed off while still looking confused
"Its okay Lincoln you can say it"
"Say what? I don't get it." he said playing dumb.
"You Know how my brothers Lost their bodies right?"
"Yeah..." he said uneasily.
"I'm going to tell you how I lost mine.." She said while Taking off her jacket with shaky hands And set it on a chair before undoing her blouse.
"Lincoln...When I was a Child I was much more well versed in Alchemy then my Brothers" She started to explain while keeping her eyes locked onto his. "...And Well...I taught Ed and Al everything I Knew and...you know what happened after that" She continued as he looked away.
"You know I had a Lincoln a Leni a Luna all of them we were Proud to be Elrics and...Even after What Ed and Al did we stood by them but...I thought that just because my Knowledge of Alchemy was better I would have a Better chance at Bringing mom Back..."
She admitted Sadly as she pulled her shirt open and showed off numerous scars.
"My price was Bigger I Lost My Arm and Both my Legs.…and my whole torso." She spoke as she began to cry. "But...the worst of it is...My Siblings all of them except Ed and Al they were turned into Philosopher Stones"
"W-What?!" Lincoln exclaimed in shock as Lori wiped her eyes as Lincoln was horrified at both her story and her metallic torso.
"..."
"W-What happened to them?"
"Ed and Al are Still alive they don't know what happened to me or the Others the Last thing I saw were the stones crumbling as the house was set on fire the next thing I Knew I woke up in The Citadel It turns out Geo saved me he patched me up healed me and asked me if I wanted to go back Home...But I chose not too" She told him, no longer holding her tears back.
"Lori…" He muttered in a sullen tone. "Why Lori why didn't; you want to go back?"
"If I did Ed And Al would Never Forgive me if they learned what happened!" She cried out in Tears as a Loud Explosion was Heard outside.
"What the heck was that?!" Lincoln spoke as a Robot Resembling an Eggpawn fell through the roof.
"What the?!" Lori said as the robot punched her away and grabbed Lincoln,dragging him through the hole it made.
"LORI!" He cried out as she grabbed her jacket and ran outside. "Lincoln!" She screamed with watery eyes as a Missile was fired at her fortunately she managed to avoid it in the nick of time.
"OHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!" A voice laughed as Lori scowled and looked around her. "WHO'S THERE!?
"Why don't you try looking up?"
A voice said with Malice very prominent in her tone.
Lori looked up and saw a Large Floating Air pod being piloted by a Luan wearing a red and yellow jacket with mechanical goggles and a Large Fake Mustache that was Crooked.
"The Name's Luan Robotnik and I'm afraid your little boy toy's going on a little trip!" she laughed as Lori gave a growl.
"GIVE HIM BACK!"
"Sorry Metal Chick maybe some other time!"
Luan said with a smirk as she fired a laser from her egg mobile as Lori Scowled and clapped her hands violently before slamming them into the ground and making a Large Pillar. that smashed right into the egg Mobile.
"WHOA!" Luan screamed as she nearly fell from her pod, clinging desperately onto the edge.
"Grrr why you!" She snarled angrily. "That's it I've had it! With you!" She snarled as she pressed another button. after crawling back in and Pulling a Lever causing a Wrecking ball to appear below the Pod on a Chain.
"Ok then…bring it on!" Lori shouted with a furious glare as she clapped again, causing lightning to appear all around her body and slammed both of her hands onto the ground again, this time propelling her up towards the pod.
Fist drawn back and clenched into a tight fist Luan growled as she pulled a Lever and the wrecking ball swung towards Lori at a fast pace, but not fast enough as she jumped over it while it destroyed her stone pillar, as Lori kicked it violently, propelling her upwards and making it swing again in the opposite direction.
"AHHHHHH!.."
*CRASH!*
"...ow..."
Luan groaned In pain. "Grrrrr THAT'S IT TIME TO DIE!" Luan Yelled as she pressed a Button.
"BRING IN THE BIG ARM!" he screamed angrily as Lori jumped onto the pod. "I DON'T THINK SO!" Lori screamed with a twitching eye as she reared her arm back and punched Luan right in the face only to look up and see a Large shadow and got flung into a tree.
*Geo*
"Alright let see what we got today" The Guardian said as he took the elevator down to the transport bay and saw the zone cops unloading the prisoners.
"Alright Zucy level with me how bad are these ones?" he asked Lucy's zone counterpart who looked at her clipboard.
"Extremely bad sir they've done some of the most horrible things known to mankind" she responded as the first prisoner being carted away was a Withered Centaur that resembled Bobby with dark red skin and covered in a white beard. "This Roberto a Magic eating Centaur cause for arrest: the extinction of all magical Life in sector 2280" Zucy said as the Centaur scowled. "That's LORD Roberto to you!" he growled as his containment unit was carted away while another one was brought out this one had a Lola inside who was giving a scared look.
"W...where am i? ...i wanna go home!" she stammered as Zucy ignored her. "Don't be fooled by her looks sir she's a dangerous monster her Lola Bradley she's also as the Homunculus Pride" Zucy said as Tendrils made of shadow tried and failed to pierce the container she was in.
'Why I'm not dangerous, I'm just a harmless little girl! Let me out and I'll show you!" she snarled as Geo rolled his eyes. "I'm sure you are"
"Cause of arrest: The Destruction of the Country of Xing" Zucy said as Lola frowned. "In my Defense I wanted to see how their souls tasted with chopsticks!" she spoke as they took her away when Zori and Zuna brought out a Lisa with Yellow Skin a white lab coat and purple gloves and a balding head with hair on the sides as well as a large metal L on her forehead and a floating mask with a scowl on its face.
"Dr Lisa Cortex and her pet…..*Uka Uka: I AM NOBODY'S PET!*...and her Pet mask Uka Uka their cause of arrest: nearly causing the destruction of the time space continuum in their universe" Zucy said as Geo shook his head.
"Dimensional destruction is a serious offense you two yeah you're gonna be here for a long time!" he said as Uka uka tried to break free but failed. "FOOLISH GUARDIAN DO YOU THINK THIS CAN HOLD THE MIGHTY UKA UKA!? WE SHALL ESCAPE FROM HERE AND EXACT OUR REVENGE!" he yelled as Lisa nodded her head. "That's right by letting us in here you've done nothing but given us access to all of your resources to which we will use them to destroy!..."
*Click*
Uka's eyes widened as he noticed the mute symbol on the container they were in as Lisa kept monologuing unaware they couldn't hear her as they were wheeled away.
"Didn't know these things had mute buttons"
"These things can do a lot of things sir" Zucy said as Zuan and zynn brought out the last two containers as the people inside both were unconscious.. The first was a Ronnie anne wearing a metallic green and grey suit with a device on her back that resembled a backpack. The second was a Clyde wearing purple and black and had green skin.
"These two come from the same universe they are Ronalda Octavia santiago and Clyde Osborn the cause of arrest: The Near genocide of the Kree empire" Zucy explained.
"Guess anyone that comes from a marvel universe is bound to be evil enough to overthrow the Kree" Geo muttered. "Is that all of them Zucy?"
"Yes sir for now at least Zeni and Zisa are currently hunting more down" she explained as Geo gave a nod. "Excellent now if you'll excuse me I'm going to lunch!" he said happily as he headed to the cafeteria.
*Lincoln*
"What the hell, let me go!"
Lincoln struggled against the Eggpawns Grip as it Carried him to a Large Floating Airship and was dropped onto a helipad, rather rudely I might add.
"Ow..."
"Well we'll Well~" A Voice spoke behind him as a pair of very soft hands touched his shoulders Making him Shiver and, for some reason, hold back a moan as he pulled away and a Leni with long Blonde and Gold hair with Black eyes and Blue pupils Large Q Cup Breasts Dragon Like Scales Lined up both her Core arms and Razor Sharp talons for feet with Large Dark Red Wings and a Pointed tail appeared in front of him.
"Hello Lincy~" She purred and giggled as he started to uncontrollably drool. "You're drooling~" she said with a slutty smile Making him gulp as she slowly moved her hand down. "TIME AND PLACE BIMBO!" a voice shouted.
"Ugh, cockblockers." Leni groaned as she walked off with a scornful look on her face
As he saw another Lori, With a purple a black mech suit connected to her body Making Lincoln gulp. as she took several heavy steps towards him and grabbed his shirt collar, lifting him up to her level. "I don't know The Boss wants you but she needs you!" She growled angrily as she threw him down and stomped away.
'Where are you Lori?' Lincoln thought as an explosion was heard coming from the island below.
*Elsewhere*
Back on the Citadel Magdalena was sorting some papers when she noticed Geos Crystal Ball flashing red.
"That can't be good." She muttered as she went over and peered into it and gasped as she saw Lori elric being beaten down by a Luan piloting a large robot.
"Oh No!..GEO!" She yelled as she ran off in a panic.
*Lori elric*
The eldest Elric child was in a Bind as she clapped her hands and touched a rock creating a large club she grabbed it and lept up batting away the missiles that were thrown her way until Luan directed the big arm's hand and grabbed Lori before slamming her down so hard her Arm shattered upon impact.
"HOHOHOHOHOHOHO! Give up Girly? The more you resist the more the pain will keep coming!" Luan roared às Lori spat out some blood and scowled. "I can do this all day!" she growled as Luan smirked.
"Fine, I have just the thing to finish you off!" she said before pressing a button and the Big Arm began to transform into a much larger machine with an electric Prong for a left claw and a gatling gun for the right.
"BEHOLD THE EGG DRAGOON!" Luan laughed as Lori quickly took off running when the Mad Sister began to fire off energy bullets.
"Don't run now we're just getting started!" She said as she heard a clapping noise as a spear was launched at her Pod window. "HEY! I wasn't done paying the mortgage on this thing!"
"Ya should've thought of that before trying to kill me!" Lori smirked as luan aimed the cannon and fired at her once again.
Lori dove onto the ground before creating a dome to shield herself with as Luan pressed another button.
"Take this Initiate freeze-burn attack!" she yelled as the Egg Dragoon charged a beam composed of both fire and ice and blasted it towards the dome Lori grit her teeth as she placed her only good hand against the dome making it bigger to resist the blast but she gave a worried and horrified look when she heard the dome beginning to slowly Crack apart.
Oh dear that's not Good Looks Lori Elric is in a bit of a bind and Lincoln is being held by the other Loud sisters on an airship but don't worry Geo will save the day!...right?
Anyway next time things get even crazier and also can you guess what kind of Lori grabbed Lincoln? here's a hint she's based on a video game villain.
