For the rest of the day, the pair walked around the city. Ronnie Anne showed Lincoln all the fun spots they used to hang out whenever he visited and a few new locations. They saw a movie where Lincoln learned that a cinematic universe was created around Ace Savvy and the full-house gang.
"Wow, they made a movie franchise on Ace Savvy?"
"The first trailer dropped after you disappeared, now they're about to have a Civil War between Ace and Jack and…."
"Hold on, no spoilers; I got a lot of catching up to do."
Ronnie Anne smiled, seeing Lincoln was still the die-hard Ace Savvy fan he's always been. The pair settled on another movie, The Harvester Reboot. As they watched the movie, Ronnie Anne held onto Lincoln's arm during the "scary" parts, and Lincoln found it cute how scared she got. Unknown to Lincoln, Ronnie Anne wasn't frightened; she used it as an excuse to get closer to him, hugging his arm between her breasts.
"Wow, they're soft; wait, what am I thinking? Focus Loud! On the guy getting his intestines harvested, not your sexy best friend and her big soft boobs pressing against your, ugh, FOCUS!"
"He's so into me."
Later
After the movie, the two walked back to Ronnie Anne's apartment, so she wasn't late for curfew.
"This has been a blast, but we should get you home."
"I don't see a reason to rush, Linc; you said it yourself; you took out the killer already."
"Yeah, but besides you, no one knows that and I'd like to keep people from learning that demons are among them; I don't need mass panic."
Suddenly, Lincoln's stone started buzzing against his chest, realizing that it was reacting to the presence of a demon. Lincoln turned to warn Ronnie Anne but saw her blushing due to her stone buzzing between her breasts.
"Oh man, this is embarrassing, but it feels kind of good." she thought.
Lincoln blushed to see Ronnie Anne's breasts vibrating and jiggling, slamming her arms around her chest to stop them; Ronnie Anne turned to Lincoln, who averted his eyes.
"you were staring, weren't you? She asked, blushing.
Lincoln tried not to answer, but suddenly, he was hit with a vision of where the demon was; he saw an art gallery building.
"GLC University Art Gallery?" he questioned.
"I saw it too; remember, my Tio Carlos works as a professor at the university's main building."
"Right, but why would demons have any interest in a university gallery?"
"Wait, my Tio said they have a stone tablet on loan called the tablet of the Lazarus."
"I better check it out fast."
"No, We better check it out."
"Ronnie Anne, you need to go home. I can handle this."
"I just found you; I'm not letting you go alone; you may have been okay with it back in the other world when you had no one, but now you have me, besides I'm still a good distance from my home, what if another demon appeared I'll be defenseless, I'm safer with you."
Lincoln weighed his options; he knew he didn't have time to argue.
"Okay, okay, hold out your hands."
Ronnie Anne did just that; Lincoln clenched his left hand before opening it, revealing two rings that resembled wedding bands, one gold and the other silver. He quickly placed the gold ring on Ronnie Anne's left ring finger and the silver on her right finger.
"What are these?" she asked, Blushing.
"The gold one is called a mana conversion ring; it converts the user's energy into magical energy or mana. This is how people in the other world with no natural magical abilities could use magic."
"and the silver ring?"
" that one is a spatial ring; it will allow you access to my pocket dimension and gear."
"Really?"
"Listen, we need to hurry. I'll engage the demon if it looks like I need help; summon something to back me up."
"deal."
The two headed to a nearby alleyway; Lincoln switched to his armor once clear. Firing a grappling hook, Lincoln zipped up to the roof with Ronnie Anne. Still carrying Ronnie Anne, Lincoln started running, jumping from building to building, using his grappling hook to swing between those too far to jump. Ronnie Anne held on; while she was a little scared, she was also excited, and seeing Lincoln's moves made her blush hard.
" When did he become so cool?" she thought.
Elsewhere.
On the roof of the GLC University Art Gallery building, a lone figure landed on the roof. This figure was a petite woman with long purple hair dressed in a mage outfit with a large witch's hat and gray skin.
"to think the great Leanne is forced to do grunt work."
This woman was Leanne, a member of Adonis's party back in the other world. Pulling out her staff, Leanne tapped the bottom of her staff onto the roof, sending a surge of energy through the building.
"that takes care of the security system."
She then cast another spell that superheated the tip of her staff, allowing her to cut a hole into the skylight.
"That worthless bug bimbo that blade made was supposed to finish the job and get that tablet weeks ago, not go on a killing spree; now I have to waste my time in this city, get the stone, and track down that whore."
Floating down, Leanne started moving through the building, searching for something openly showing disgust for the works of art.
"This is what passes for art?" she said, rolling her red eyes.
Entering the main hall, Leanne eyed her target. Sitting on a custom display was a stone tablet with unknown writing.
"found it," she said with a sinister grin.
Approaching the display, Leanne quickly started melting the protective case; just as she was about to finish, a voice called out.
"Visiting hours are done, Leanne."
Leanne spun around in shock, surprised that someone was behind her and knew her.
"Who dares…YOU!"
"good to see you again, Leanne; you're looking as twisted as ever." mocked Lincoln.
To her shock, standing across from her was Lincoln Loud.
Leanne was enraged seeing the man who nearly ended her.
"you're alive!?"
"you bastards should have known by now; I wouldn't go down so easily."
"you will this time!"
Leanne quickly aimed her staff, but Lincoln was quicker as he materialized an orange and black revolver in his left hand, blasting Leanne's staff out of her hand.
"My staff!" she yells as her staff is sent flying.
"You know, Leanne, I always said you rely too much on that thing."
"you're gonna pay for that."
"It's not wise to make threats when you can't back it up."
"Who says I can't?" she said with a smirk.
Lincoln quickly materialized a second revolver in his hand, shooting out to his right into what appeared to be nothing.
"How did he?"
Suddenly a grunting sound could be heard as a large bear-like creature appeared out of nowhere with a bullet wound between its eyes before falling face down dead, then burning away to ash.
"I'm a little impressed you managed to hide that thing from my all-seeing eye; I guess your demonic presence is strong enough to conceal it and the rest of its buddies."
Leanne was surprised that he sensed the rest of her backup, seeing no reason to hide them anymore as she snapped her fingers, revealing many demons, all resembling demonic versions of animals like Lions, Tigers, and Bears.
"Oh my, looks like you've been practicing," he joked.
"My pets are going to rip you to shreds."
"You always did like animals more than people; I take it that the bug I took out last night was one of yours."
"Actually, that was Blade's, but thanks for doing my dirty work for me; I'll be sure to tell the others." mocked Leanne.
Leanne then snapped her fingers, commanding her "pets" to attack; Lincoln began dodging while firing shots from each revolver. Despite dodging most of their blows, Lincoln did get hit a few times; though his armor protected him, it was taking some damage.
"Damn, these things are actually damaging my suit. I'll have to upgrade its durability later." thought as he shot a tiger demon in the head.
The more he took down, the more came. Seeing the demons surrounding him, Lincoln made his guns disappear and unsheathed his swords.
"You bastards want some, then get some!"
Lincoln leaped back into the battle, slashing away, and jumped to the second-floor balcony; the demons quickly followed. As they fought on the second floor, he was being driven away from the main hall; unfortunately, since Lincoln was distracted from taking out the demons, Leanne took advantage to retrieve her staff.
"They should keep him busy long enough for me to escape," she said, aiming her staff at the case.
Finished with breaking through the case, Leanne was about to grab the stone tablet when something flew past her, hitting the partially melted case. To her shock, an arrow nearly hit the side of her face.
"the next one will hit you."
"Who dares?
Turning, she saw a woman in a purple dress and a makeshift mask over the lower half of her face, holding a bow and readying another arrow to hit her. Leanne immediately felt her blood boil seeing this sexy woman in front of her.
"you…I…hate…people like…you!"
"Pardon me?"
"You think just because you got that hot body, you're better, well guess what, you bimbo bigger, isn't always better."
Ronnie Anne was confused but then remembered something when Lincoln went into detail about the former hero's party.
"You must be Leanne, the so-called greatest mage with a repertoire of over a thousand spells; Lincoln told me about you."
"Oh, really, you big titty bimbo!"
"He also said you have a massive inferiority complex since, despite being 19 yrs old, you look like an underdeveloped 14 yr old.
"What!?"
"I mean, he told me how you tried seducing many men in the other world but were rejected each time since nobody wanted to touch a child. Mocked Ronnie Anne.
"you bitch…I'll." she said as she aimed her staff at Ronnie Anne."
Suddenly Lincoln came crashing through the balcony while riding the last demon, a lion demon. As the two fell, Lincoln plunged his sword into the lion's skull, killing it and causing it to become ash as he landed.
"stuck the landing."
Ronnie Anne saw that Lincoln's armor had taken a lot of battle damage; his helmet was gone, possibly destroyed during his fight with Leanne's pets, and claw marks on his armor, a few bleeding showing his blood was silver.
"I thought I told you to stay safe," he said, a little dizzy from the blood loss.
"You also told me to back you up, and if I hadn't, she would've gotten away," argued Ronnie Anne.
Leanne then fired a blast at Lincoln, but he dodged it and countered by throwing a glass orb at her. Leanne quickly used her magic to stop it mid-air, raising it above her. However, before she could boast, Ronnie Anne fired her arrow, shattering the glass and dousing her with the contents.
"What is this stuff? It smells disgusting; oh God, I'm gonna be sick!" screamed Leanne.
"Lincoln, was that?" she asked while he nodded.
Lincoln and Ronnie Anne watched as Leanne doubled over and started vomiting, using her staff to hold herself up. Eventually, Leanne stopped vomiting and felt another sensation take over as she looked up at Lincoln with hate in her eyes.
"You, what have you done to me!?" she screamed, pointing her left hand.
Suddenly, the two middle fingers on Leanne's left hand extended into clawed fingers, and its nails grew longer. Leanne, in horror, watched as the same thing happened to her other hand. Soon both her hands became claws as she howled in pain, grabbing her head. Grabbing her hair, she tore it off, revealing the skin on her scalp had become leathery.
"You turned me into a monster!" she screamed.
"you wanted demonic power; well, you got it. Too bad for you. It's a packaged deal. He told her as she dropped to her knees.
Leanne howled in pain as she felt something pushing out of her back before two wings ripped themselves out of her back. Ronnie Anne was disturbed as she watched this transformation; part of her was a little scared as she watched Leanne's Flesh fall from her body. Finally, it was done; as Leanne was back on her knees, she realized she was taller, standing 8'0 tall; nothing on her looked remotely human. Seeing her reflection in a nearby case, to her horror, she had transformed into a gargoyle. Leanne let out a scream, but it came out as a roar.
"what have you done to me?"
"as I said, you did it to yourself; this is your true form. The price you paid"
Leanne then tried to bring her claws down, but Lincoln parried with his swords. As the two struggled, Leanne used her newly grown tail to stab him through a side opening in his armor.
"Lincoln!" cried Ronnie Anne as Lincoln dropped to his knees from losing more blood.
As Leanne was about to bring her claw down again, Ronnie Anne fired an arrow through her left hand before doing the same with her right hand. Leanne howled in pain as she recoiled.
"Get away from him, you ugly bitch!" threatened Ronnie Anne.
Leanne became enraged as she charged Ronnie Anne but was stopped as Lincoln stabbed her in the back. To her shock, Lincoln was barely back on his feet; his right hand was clutching his wound, but his left hand was clutching his sword. Leanne was caught between a rock & a hard place both Ronnie Anne, and Lincoln had their weapons drawn on her, plus her rational mind was being taken over by feral instincts. There was only one option left; letting out a roar, she took to the sky as she flew away. With one last trick up her sleeve, she released the energy she had used to turn off the security system, reactivating it as she crashed through the ceiling. The building's security system went off, Ronnie Anne; they had seconds, a minute at the most, before campus security and the police swarmed the building.
"Lincoln, we need to go now," she said, watching Lincoln make his sword disappear.
"Not…yet!" said Lincoln. Who then walks over to the case, grabbing the tablet with his bloody hand, to Ronnie Anne's confusion.
"What are you doing?"
"I can't leave…it here…this tablet has…a strong magical aura…if I leave it, they'll try again later."
"But the university will get in trouble."
"No…they won't cause they'll never know it's missing."
Lincoln then summoned a lump of clay in his left hand; he began focusing his mana, making the clay glow orange. The clay then started growing and changing shape until it became an exact replica of the tablet. Placing the fake in the case, Lincoln made the real one disappear into his pocket dimension.
"Done, now we can…go…go…aw...shit!" he said, collapsing.
"Oh, no, Lincoln…Lincoln!" she yelled as Lincoln lost consciousness.
…Later…
Waking up slowly, Lincoln sat up confused as his head was spinning.
"Damn my head and, wait, why am I on a bed?"
Lincoln realized that he was lying on a bed in a small room; the foot of the bed was close to the door. Lincoln discovered that his armor was gone as he had been stripped to his boxers and had bandages all over his body.
"Ronnie Anne."
Suddenly the door opened, and Ronnie Anne walked in, now dressed in a light purple tank top and dark purple sweat shorts. Lincoln blushed hard, seeing how attractive she looked since her sleepwear couldn't contain her sexy body. Relieved he was okay, Ronnie Anne instantly embraced Lincoln, hugging him tightly; as their chest pressed together, Lincoln realized Ronnie Anne was not wearing a bra.
"How long was I out? He asked. "Wow, so soft; control yourself, you idiot!" he berated himself.
"About an hour and a half, You scared me half to death, Lame-o."
"Sorry to worry you, but where are we?"
"You're in Bobby's old room…in my apartment."
"Your apartment? Does that mean your family?".he asked, and Ronnie Anne nodded. "So much for a low profile," he said as Ronnie Anne broke the embrace.
"I'm sorry after you passed out, I managed to get us out without being caught, but I needed to get you somewhere safe. Good thing you had a hoverboard. I used it to move you. Carlota and my mom caught me trying to sneak you in, and I was forced to tell the truth; they didn't believe me a first until mom saw you bleeding silver blood. We got you to Bobby's old room, removed your armor, and mom stitched you up; by the way, Carlota said you need more orange in your design and to lighten the black.
"Noted; by the way, where did you learn to shoot an arrow like that?"
"Oh, I went to this camp over the summer after I turned 13, my neighbor, Mrs. Kernicky, was the sports counselor, and she taught a class on archery, turns out I'm pretty good at it."
"I'd say really good; if you want, I can make you your own bow."
"Really?"
"Right after I improved my gear, those demons were stronger than the original demon lord's army, and they managed to penetrate my armor. I need to prepare for that."
After a few moments of silence, Lincoln decided it was time to bite the bullet as he got out of bed. Ronnie Anne was about to tell him to stay in bed but froze upon seeing his body. Despite the scars & the fresh stitches and bandages, Ronnie Anne could see that Lincoln was hot; his well-toned body shined through despite the battle damage it took.
"I didn't notice while we were stripping him but, Damn, he's so damn hot." she thought.
"I better reintroduce myself to your family," Lincoln said as he materialized a T-shirt and sweatpants and opened the door.
Ronnie Anne snapped out of her stupor as she chased after Lincoln to tell him something she had forgotten.
"Wait, Lincoln…you have to know, while you were out, I convinced my mom not to call an ambulance but."
"But…what?" he asked, stepping into the living room while looking over his shoulder at Ronne Anne.
"Lincoln?" said a familiar but shaky voice in front of him.
Lincoln turned his head to his shock. It was Lori standing across the living room from him.
"Lori."
"I couldn't stop her from calling your…sister."
Elsewhere
In the penthouse of an unknown tower sat Adonis and the rest of his party as they discussed the events of the night.
"Damn it! I thought we were rid of him when we were transported back! Growled Adonis.
"This is most troubling," replied Mina.
"Now he's got some potion that'll turn us into freaks; how am I supposed to pick up pussy if I look like that," said Blade pointing to Leanne.
Leanne was sitting in a corner; she was still a gargoyle, though her body showed signs of reverting to her human form.
"Will you focus on something other than Raping women, sis?"
"First of all, only you filthy men are capable of rape."
"And what is it that you do?"
"There is no rape when it is between two girls."
Adonis rolled his eyes At his sister's hypocrisy, She hated men considering all of them to be violent disgusting Creatures. Yet, She was guilty of the same things she hated men for but it her twisted mind she could have any women she wants. To her it was her god given right Whether victims consent or didn't.
"In any case, we should proceed with caution; our time in the other world delayed our mission here; we need to finish what we began," said Mina changing the subject.
"Agreed; Blade tells our benefactors to finish work on the tower; Mina, when Leanne transforms back, put her back to work locating the next tablet when it reveals itself. Said Adonis as he moved from the table and looked out the window.
"What about the one she lost? We still need it," said Blade.
"All in due time," he said, shooing away his sister and Mina. "I got your scent, Lincoln Loud, and I'll make sure you stay dead this time.
End Of Ch. 3.
Note
1. If anyone is curious about Leanne's transformation, it is based on a scene from a movie called Tales from the Darkside: The Movie, the third story, "Lover's Vow."
2. There are a few things I forgot to mention about the potion Brockium, 1. the physical effects lasting for a few hours, and 2. when it forces a demon out of its human disguise, the demon's mind can become feral, like what happened in the movie Zootopia's night howler. Higher demons like Leanne are, however, able to maintain some sense of self.
3. This is for all guest commenters who have been harassing me on my fanfics; you got a lot of nerve talking all that shit, then hiding from me as a guest commenter like a pussy, so I can't say anything; if you assholes don't like my work don't read it. If you think you can do better, then do; till then fuck off and focus on your shitty writing,
