Chapter 7. Loud Nights Interlude

Author Notes: I do not own "The Loud House", "Kengan Ashura/Omeg" or any techniques/characters from "Baki" series.

I am going to be cutting down from doing 10,000 words of chapter...It is just too much and get late on my updates. I want it once of month, if I can do that much...Expect future chapters more around 8,000 at the highest to 5,000 at the lowest. That could change, but I do not want it to.

There are Time Skips in my story and this chapter has a slight 2 year Time Skip in this chapter since Shion(Lincoln Loud) fight against Kuroki Gensai/The Devil's Lance. For our MC got 2 years of tutelage and apprenticeship under the Underworld greatest Assassin/Martial Artist at the time to learn the ropes of being an Assassin in the Underworld.

Hint! Hint! Shion(Lincoln) did develop the Koei Style more, but has also picked up some Martial Arts from Kuroki Gensai. No! It is not the Kaiwan Style, but something to help Shion(Lincoln) inspire to make the Koei Style stronger. There is some "Baki" inspired Martial Arts that I take no credit for and just wanted to add these TWO unique Martial Arts styles to Shion(Lincoln) skill set, which is still in development and relate back to Kuroki Gensai other fighting style that he uses with his Kaiwan Style. I already discuss this with other people...you know who you are. I enjoy "Baki" and want these two Martial Art Styles for Shion(Lincoln) to use just as much as he uses the Koei Style

If you do not know Martial Arts Styles from "Baki"? You will find out by reading this story. One Martial Art style was hinted in this chapter, so pay attention to Shion(Lincoln) appearance in this chapter.

This chapter focus on WHAT is happening with the Loud Family, after Lincoln absence and how time has moved on since that tragic day…

Alert! Some "Kengan Ashura/Omeg" characters are making appearance this chapter! Not a whole lot, but some!

The Great Lake City, Michigan. USA: Lori Loud age 30, Nighttime…

In a large city, a woman working late nights on her case load. The building she worked was under the Great Lake City County District Attorney office building, which she had been working for over six years. This women position was Assistant District Attorney- whom performs case evaluation, preparation and management; represents the state/client in pre-trial and evidentiary hearings and jury/court trials; and ensures effective communication with defense attorneys, court personnel, victims and family members, witnesses and other interested parties.

It was another long day bleeding into a long night of work for Lori Loud.

She had reading glasses on over her tired eyes. She was wearing a fashionable and workable women business suit that was light blue in color from pants to her coat, with a white button shirt. Her high heels were taken off, but black in color next to her late-night Chinese food take-out she had to fuel her into the night. Her make-up was not smeared, but even the eye liner could not hide the bags. Besides that, the women known as Lori Loud changed a great deal in the decade she once was as teenager. Her posture was slightly bent over, but composed and control over her own body.

Besides case files in vanilla envelopes and boxes, Lori desk was in a messy and organize fashion over the files she read or signatures of her approval, with another pile of work she still had to go over. Her laptop was near her, separating her finished work on left side and work she had to go through on her right. Her office lights were on and help her eyes reading over her work, before they began to wonder from her work…to three photo frames were on her desk with large clutter of work

Lori shifted and moved, getting out position she had been in for hour or more and went to the ride side of her desk to fish out some Scotch bottle and glass, to relax her body and mark the end of her day.

"Almost over. I got call Leni, to see how Loan doing..." Lori sighed, hating how long the days she worked sometimes.

She took a gulp of her drink and took a moment to clear her mind of anything work related, before her eyes went to the three photo frames.

One was the Loud Family, back when they were whole…Before Lincoln abduction. The second, picture frame was love of her life and nobody she could ever get over or replace… Bobby Santiago, holding younger adult version of Lori during their time in college. The third picture, only had the current Lori with her eight-year-old daughter, Loan.

"I am such a bad mother…" Even if that was not true, Lori felt that. She should be with her daughter. Her mother was never worked long hours like Lori did, but Lori was working through case loads and trying to move on deadline to hopefully come back to Royal Woods County as their District Attorney. The pay was not as good as Great Lake City, but Lori wanted Loan to be close to her and her extended family. Loan already went to school at Royal Woods, but Lori worked in the Great Lake City most time.

Leni, bless her soul, was great sister and support in the family. Leni worked from home with the help of her family. She was not good with computers, but over the years she got more competent and work as Fashion Designer from home. Lola love modeling in some Leni dresses, but other times local models test out if Leni fashion designed work or not.

"At least she has Chazz…" Lori said bitterly and full of sadness of missing her other half, as she poured one more glass of Scotch for herself…Thinking of Leni marriage made Loan bitter.

Her Bobby-Booboo-Bear, was sadly killed during her time at college…By a stick-up robbery gone wrong and was gunned down working at his family Apartment/Market, the Casagrandes Bodega Market. His death was the final straw that brought her into her interest in to getting a Law Degree…and start a drinking habit. Bobby Santiago died her freshmen year in college and it did almost break her Spirit, similar or worse when Lincoln was abduction and absence in the family…

A small tear went down her right eye and hiccup escaped Lori throat, but she pushed that down. Lori wipes her tear away and looked at the picture with her daughter.

Loan was product of a one-night stand. When she was starting her job and making career/name in Law and the Court System. She did not know or care who the father was. Lori was ashamed her carnal needs and alcohol got the better of her and slept with some random man. She did not want to know who the man was or anything, because she felt guilty enough that Loan was not Bobby child and she never wanted Loan to feel unwanted. Lori was women and she had needs. Just lust, frustration and loneliness were what brought Loan. She did not get abortion, because there was hole in her heart with the loss of Lincoln and then Bobby…But Loan was light of her life and filled that hole in Lori life. The only bad thing she regretted with Loan was not being a better mother and working late nights in a city hour's, so far away from her precious daughter.

"Only a few more years…" That was her dead line, until her transfer was ready to go back to Royal Woods County. Just a couple more years…

Lori put her work away for the night and grabbed her purse, before shutting the lights off in her office to head to her apartment.

Royal Woods, Michigan. USA: Leni Loud age 29, Nightime…

A house formerly own by Bud Grouse, was now the home of Chaz and Leni Loud. Both were a young married couple, both worked for living. Chaz as long-haul truck driver and Leni as stay at home fashion designer/mother. Leni was somewhat a popular celebrity in the Royal Woods for her designs, especially the teenagers with a taste for Leni fashion. Chaz job required him to be gone for days and weeks working at his company, but the love he and Leni had was still going strong.

Leni wanted to live by her dad and mom, so with couple years of hard work and breakthroughs, Chaz and Leni became home owners to Bud Grouse place.

Bud Grouse grew older and eventual had to sell his home and trade up for a retirement home near his family, which was sad moment in the elderly man life. The only comfort that Bud felt when selling his house was that Loud Family would take care of his home AND he was living close to his actual family.

Right now, she was saying goodnight to her daughter and nieces in the family. Leni had green-seafoam color robe that covered her nightgown, with her seafoam green night blinders to cover her eyes and get her beauty sleep. Leni already went through most her nighttime rituals and even got some of her niece's and her daughter to brush their teeth, use the restroom, and lotion up to hydrate their skin.

"Good night girls!" Leni said to her daughter and her cousin outside the doorway of the basement converted bedroom. Loan was 9 years old, Lyra was 5 years old, and Liby 3 years old; her darling nieces! Liena was Leni and Chaz child. It was interesting to think that Liena took after her mother looks more than her father, but Liena did have Chaz low metabolism and his eyes. Liena was better at maintain her diet compare to her father, but she was always a bit 'fluffy' compared to her cousins. It did not matter. Liena was only 7 years old, but she was loving and caring little girl that Leni and Chaz were happy to have!

Loan almost looked like exact copy of Lori, if not for introvert personality. Loan only had interests in games, comics, manga, manhwa, anime, cartoons and movies. Leni hope that Loan cousins would improve on Loan being more out-going, which has been slowly happening overtime. It did not help that her niece seeing her mother only on weekends, but Lori job was demanding and develop a reputation in the Ju-Ju…Judy System! Yes, that what Lori worked under.

Lyra was Luna and Sam child, but both her mothers tend to work at Entertainment, during both their Session representatives. Luna and Sam were professional musicians and work on their band, which had some regional underground fame at best. The major money came from working with various companies for their Musical Talents as substitutes for other Bands or working with certain Record Companies need a specialist's with Steel-String Acoustic Guitarist's. Loan was…incapable of taking charge the family and her daughter Liena was passive, so Lyra was beginning to fill the role of taking charge with her cousins.

Liby was the youngest and was slowly developing some funny interests, to Leni that is. To Leni, Liby was smart with how she watching people and making ob-ob-observations! Yes, that was the world. Kind of like a detective! Liby loved Acy Savvy comics, but Luan was reading Liby detective books for children such as Nancy Drew series or Basil of Baker Street book. Luan hope to get Liby into comedy, but Luan job was demanding as an Entertainer and she was on the road majority of her time. Luan was independence businesswomen, Funny Business Inc, for children parties and even work as Comedian in Michigan. Luan still writes jokes and is trying to get her 'comedy-gold' to be recognize by TV Sitcom writers and producers. Most of Luan payments came from small, but popular business Funny Business Inc…Benny was Liby father, but he was not around enough to be called a 'father'.

"Good night, Aunt Leni!" Her nieces said at the same time, as they went to bed. So cute!

"Good night, mom!" Liena said, before snuggling into her bed. That was her caring baby-girl!

Leni smiled and climbed up the stairs into the House, making sure everything was in place. Her house was had flair for her design and had many pictures of her family. Chaz family members were on the wall, but he came from a small family. That meant most of Leni large family pictures and portraits took up the space…Which brought Leni attention to her family picture.

At that moment, Leni felt sad and empty, looking at the picture of her siblings…Her only little brother still gone.

Pop-Pop always gave Leni hope that Lincoln would come back, but the rest of the family thought…Lincoln was gone, forever...

"Where ever you are Lincoln…I hope we meet again. Your uncle now, you know that?" Leni said. She looked at her 11 year old brother picture with his sisters, before turning the lights off and going to bed

Crystal Lake Record, Michigan. USA: Luna Loud age 28, Nighttime...

"One more time, Luna and Sam!" The Sound Engineer spoke over the intercom.

"Fine! It late and getting sick of playing this tune anyway…" Luna said, tired and frustrated over playing over and over the same this session. Was this the hundredth time they done this?!

"Come on, Luna. One more time." Sam replied, the light of Luna life and one of the two reasons why she keeps doing this. Luna and Sam need to make some steady cash, so pissing off anyone right now was a no-go. Both Sam and Luna needed the money for house and for Lyra…

Both girls were dressed as stylish rockers. Mostly with different color schemes, and hair styles from their teenage years, but they grew up and matured in their own way. Luna stuck with the purple leather jacket and Sam with teal color jacket. Both had black pants on and boots. Luna was bit thicker in hips and bust (tastier, in Sam opinion), while Sam was thinner (Easy to cuddle, in Luna opinion) but both had punk rocker's had mature vibes coming off them. They were still party animals, but they mellowed out more, being parents. They got spicy with their relationship, but not often given they did not want traumatize Lyra…Luna did not know where her baby-girl got bible or Christian theme child books, but Lyra got her hands on some and liked it. It was okay though, Lyra loved both her mommies and just was curious in spiritual sense.

A few minutes passed as Luna and Sam jammed, before they stopped.

"Okay! That is, it and it-oh shit! It almost 10 pm and you guys been working for-since this yesterday?! It only felt like few hours...Sorry ladies. We were on deadline, but you girls did it. Let me fine tune this and you girls can go." The Sound Engineer, Mark, was tired as well and forgot how much time they put into. Sometimes this work for days in the studio and nights, where Luna and Sam would have to sleep on the breakroom coach and now they can actual sleep in their own bed most the day away to get back their energy and not lose their minds for going over the same tunes in their minds or their fingers twitching to pull the next cord.

"Fucking wanker." Luna gritted her teeth in anger and was close to snapping, before Sam hand on her shoulder calmed her down and led her out the door. Both their guitar cases strapped over their backs. They would get their payment over Automatic Deposit and that would be it. They needed the money and then they had to pick up Lyra from Luna sister house. Leni was always good with the kids and they were close to Luna parents anyway.

"Do not worry about, babe. Let's just get driving home, get some sleep and pick up Lyra from your sisters. Okay?" Sam said, before giving her better half a kiss on the cheek. Luna cheek glowed red with blush, something that she always enjoyed.

They head to the car and put their guitars in the trunk, before Sam started driving. A couple minutes passed by as they listen to classic Mick Swagger, before SMOOCH started to play and that got Luna thinking of Lincoln. It made her sad, but she tried to not dwell in the sadness. Lincoln would not have wanted that…she hopes.

"Hey, luv." Luna spoke up, an idea came to her to fill that void that Lincoln sadness came in.

"What?" Sam smiles tiredly as she drove.

"…Do you think Lyra would like being a big sister?" As soon Luna spoke those words, Sam Sharp eyes became was wide awake! Luna was worried, but Sam looked thoughtful before a slight smile appeared on her love's face.

"Not a bad idea. Let's crunch the numbers financial and talk with Lyra about the idea. Am I giving birth or are you up for going through the Pregnancy all over again?" Sam spoke, in a calm and yet had slight loving smile.

Luna was reminded every day, why she love's Sam Sharp and was happy being Mrs. Luna Sharp.

Canada, Ontario Province. Luan Loud age 25, Nighttime…

"I hate when it is snowing while driving…" Luan grumbled in her company or only van, as drove on the road to Ontario as head to border connected to Michigan. She had a hour to go before she got to the USA border, then Luan had a couple more hours before getting Royal Woods. Funny Business Inc was labeled on the Van with her update adult appearance. That is right folks! Luan does not let borders stop her business. Apparently, she was popular in not only Michigan but some parts of Canada! Usual discusses business transition, that got jobs from middle-class to farm communities and sometimes Fairs. Those Canadians loved the entertainment and were a bit…rough with people who disrupt their fun.

Let's just say, Luan did not have to worry about hecklers so much, after some burly drunk parents beat the day-lights of the party disrupter. Ruining their kids good time, even if it was a 'soft' party. This trip help pay her mortgage, so now she could stay locally in Michigan a bit before getting a call from Canada for her comedic services.

This would have been easier if she was not single mom…

"Fucking Benny…" Another angry comment came from her. Her baby-daddy was her high school sweet heart, but as soon as they got older and more serious, they realize…their relationship was not going to last. Benny had dreams and opportunities, while Luan had her own ambitions…Having Liby was the greatest thing and was the only evidence of love she had for the man. Still…Benny was not in Liby life as much as Luan wanted. Benny worked on Georgia as a Writer for Sit-Coms and Streaming Services. Luan, wanted to stay in Michigan and work freelance about the Canadian provinces from time-to-time.

She was kind of hurt and sore over the break-up. That Benny only sent their daughter Cards and has not seen her in over a year showed how much Benny interest he had in their daughter. Benny was growing more distant and Liby was way to observant for her age.

It might have also been that Luan was sore at Benny rejection emails of her jokes and sometimes…he stole her jokes and plagiarize them as his own.

Nobody likes people that steal jokes! Where is her money from the jokes you stole, Benny?!

Back to Liby…

"Why did I get her interested in Detective Comic Books and Novels? Oh, yeah, Lincoln…" A way of sadness passed her. Lincoln abrupt…abduction, was a tragedy on the Loud Family. Luan honestly surprise that her parents did not suffer serious legal actions. That did not mean the Loud Family was not under dirty looks and watched closely by Child Services…That passed after a decade, but the damage and self-confidence that their mom and dad had was hard. Sometimes Rita and Lynn Sr would take turns of being stay at home parents to watch out for the remaining children, before they realize they need the extra income to keep their daughters in college or finances to keep paying their house mortgage.

"God, they were overbearing and overprotective…But after Lincoln, what parent wouldn't be?" Luan spoke up, looking at the road and then at Mr. Coconuts in the Driver-Seat. Her dummy has seen better days, but he helps Luan with her sanity…

"What about Maggie?" Mr. Coconuts voice spoke up, but it was all Luan. Her hands were on the wheel in ten and two position, so she could not move Mr. Coconuts mouth with her years of practice… She just wanted sound other than radio and trying to keep herself alert.

"…Complicated, but I am interested to keep that relationship going." Luan said to Mr. Coconuts.

Luan discovered herself to be bi-curious. Maggie was fan of her during their teenage years. She was as helpful as Benny was when the Loud Family was suffering depression at the lost of Lincoln. Maggie was her closets friend for years. Then Luan relationship with Benny breaking down and one night at one Maggie family members ask for Luan service ended up with Luan ending up bit tipsy and…waking up naked in a Motel with Maggie in her bed, equally naked. Both hungover…

After getting some breakfast and awkward talk, Maggie came out and said she had crush on Luan for years. Maggie tried dating other people, but it just did not work out. Boy or Girl. Maggie was worried she was obsessive over Luan and it took a bit of liquid courage to loosen herself up.

For the past couple months…They have been dating on the down low. Why?

She might lose business because certain people frowned on her current relationship because personal beliefs or past issues.

"Eh. I could always find new customers from the LGBTQ communities…For now, I am just a capitalist trying to pay off my house. If Maggie wants this to be serious, she will let me know. I just hope Lucy doing okay with house-sitting." Luan lean to the side and went quiet.

She just had to keep on driving and get home for some rest, before she picked up Liby.

Luan missed her little detective…

Marquette, Michigan. USA: Lynn Jr. Loud age 24, Nighttime…

It was another chilly night for walk away from the Bar. She did not know or care which Bar, because it had the most important thing she need- Alcohol. Lynn was smart enough not mix her liquor after a couple of bad and embarrassing moments. She had to get away from Training Center and Dormitories. If Lynn reflects to herself of who she was now and back when she was child…

Lynn had the healthiest proportion of muscle and fat. A body that most girls would think Amazons would have or want to have. She was wearing her College Lettermen Jacket, with Red Sweat Pants and her hair was still in a pony tail…she was thinking of changing her hair-style soon though. Her face was more mature, with expressionless look and a bit unfocused because of the drinking.

Child Lynn would wonder why her adult self never smiled. Like her face was set in stone and really had intense focus all the time.

Of course, that was wrong. Lynn might have drunk too much. Lynn knew herself as child and it was never deep or philosophical in nature.

Probably child Lynn would ask was she the best in all Sports, how their routine traditional streak of keeping their good luck mojo was going, and…did they ever find Lincoln.

A bit of rain hit Lynn hair and she pulled up her hood of her jacket.

Anyway, adult Lynn would tell herself that she that she was the best unofficial Decathlete in the Women Division. There was not a Decathlete division for Women, yet. She broke records seven-event heptathlon events that could stand for decades and actual participate in three more events that got her three gold medals with the fourth being heptathlon. Four Olympic gold medals to her name. Lynn was a front runner with trying to make Women Decathlon division happen. Her goal was to be the greatest Athlete there was at the time...But sadly, Lynn was not sure she could overcome Murobuchi Gozo, the modern-day Hercules. Oh sure, Lynn beat several men in terms of points and records, but Murobuchi always seems to be more driven to break all records and was older than her. It was strange, but nice to know someone in their 40s not slowing down and constantly improve themselves. She felt humbled by not reaching Murobuchi level, yet, and show that she gains some maturity over the years by not being too obsessive over it. Lynn knew she would get stronger and better over time. Murobuchi just had more experience and training to dominate the Olympic for a while…but not forever.

Preteen Lynn would have thrown a fit.

'Where your fighting spirit!? Are you following our good luck routine?' That would have been her younger self response.

'No. After losing our only little brother, we go on losing streak for three years and rediscovering our love for sports. We kept up training and got better are way, especially getting rid of my old mentality…It all we could do to move on beyond the childish needs for luck.' A stoic and grim Lynn would reply to herself.

Those were hard years. She felt more isolated and she wonder why her family did not hate her or passed her off to Aunt Ruth. It was her fault, as far as Lynn concern, that Lincoln was abducted with the family believing her about Lincoln being bad luck…She should have looked past luck as simple probability now and it was all in her head to help her perform better at sports. She did receive a large losing streak and did not talk with her friends much since Lincoln absence. She stops smiling and focus more on self-training workouts to help re-build herself up from that nonsense of routine or traditions or anything remotely having to do with luck. All the while, Lynn took more solo training. Actual researching and reading different methods to train her body past normal human limits and be the success she was today.

Lynn Jr Loud was in control of her mind and body. Some of her friends and training partners called her a Machine, given her performance exceed human limitations at times.

Nothing but herself could defeat her ambitions.

It just took regret and self-loathing to finally achieve that control in her life and achieve true greatness…Was the sacrifice worth it?

Probably not, but Lynn could not change the past.

Puddles were beginning to form on the sidewalks or roads and she was heading back to the Dormitories to the United States Olympic Training Center. That was not the full title, but she did not care. This had been her home for a few years, after she got her degree in Sports Science and Sports Psychology…It was strange that she would get have two degrees from Northern Michigan University before becoming Olympian, but she was a much different person. Well, at least she did not have Student Debt. Lynn sponsorship and endorsements paid that, with a little more to buy a house near her parents. Someday soon and probably become a Physical Education Teacher at Middle or High School at Royal Woods.

Part of Lynn wonder how her family was still so loving and accepting after all that happen. Sure, things got better, but it was hard in the beginning when Lincoln abduction and emotional grief/guilt she felt because she blamed herself.

It was her fault, nobody would tell her others…

Lynn shakes her head and tries to look for something to change her mood.

"I need to get laid." She mumbled and thought through the list of prospective lovers or one-night stands candidates she could have. She was drunk, but not enough. Besides being in the best health person could be, most athletes were horny rabbits with all the estrogen and testosterone flowing through the bodies. No strings attached. No getting pregnant. Just fucking…She look over her phone and picked her booty-call for tonight, by sending a text an she got her reply quickly enough.

Lynn went through the door to the Dormitories, and instead of thinking about prospective fuck-buddy or her lost brother, she thought of another sibling.

She wonders how Lisa was doing? Besides herself, Lisa really was reclusive and did not visit the family for period of years. Always working abroad and in Loud family opinion, with shady governments, groups or individual that would hire Lisa for price. Knowledge or money. That was Lisa price.

Oh, wait. What is Doctor Lisa Loud, prodigy and genius of the family, been doing?

Another shake of her head and Lynn went to the stair case to not think about that. She was a different type of thirsty right now…

Royal Woods, Michigan. USA: Lucy Loud age 18, Nighttime…

A tired sign escapes a gothic young lady, in her black sweat pants hugging her hips and black shirt with orange bats design together to make a shape of a larger outline of a much larger bat symbol. Lucy was resting on the coach in the den and entertained herself. She had been texting on her phone to Rocky Spokes. A note book filed with her poetry, along with Edgar Allen Poe book The Fallen House of Usher, H.P. Lovecraft Herbert West- Reanimator, and…Princess Pony. She had TV playing in the background with some lights on.

"At least Luan got rid of the Clown and Mime pictures, along with the other dummy dolls she been experimenting with." Lucy mutter, her mind wandering and her hand clutching her Smart Phone in hopes that Rocky would respond soon.

When she had these quiet moments, she felt very sad.

No inspiration for writing, she did not feel like reading and TV barely caught her interest…It made her think of her brother Lincoln.

He was kindest brother she had and knew the need to feel to be left alone, but other time she really missed her large family. Most of all her older sisters were getting their personal careers in order and Lucy herself was house sitting for Luan. All Luan plants and her rabbits were fed/water…It seems that most her sisters stay close to the family and were buying up houses close to their parents' place. As way to show a system of support.

"Where was that system of support for Lincoln…" She muttered and felt guilt. There was no single person to blame, besides her brother abductors. As far as the Loud Family was concern- they all failed Lincoln. Even Lily felt blame, but she barely remembers her older brother and kept one of his keep sakes. A stuff bubby name Bun-Bun that Lily still slept with. Most of Lincoln friends were sadden and eventual grew distant…They were Lincoln friends, including Clyde who they lost contact after he went to college…Clyde was like unofficial sibling in the Loud family and he felt Lincoln absence take its toll on Clyde as well.

Lucy remembers the rumors about Lincoln disappearance and how that cause certain period of shunning from her own friends for a few weeks, before they came to Lucy when she had breakdown at the Park when she thought she was alone. Most her sisters dealt with that on some level, but had different ways to cope with each issue. Mostly focus more on their hobbies and careers to hide the pain and guilt they had.

Her youngest sister Lisa figured out a way around the school system (social interactions be damned, Lisa words to her kindergarten teacher) and go beyond them, where she became a true workaholic and focus on Science. Lucy did not remember how many Doctrines or MD's she got, but she was doctor…

Lisa also made her parents worried the most given certain groups and governments were interest in her application on Human Cloning thesis she had in college or the activation of certain gene mutations that could be manipulated by Gene Editing could launch humanity in a new stage of evolution.

Lisa was the most distant Loud of the family and she appears months at time on holidays…yet somehow Lucy still felt inadequate to her younger sister who could already buy House before she could and seem to have way to invest her earnings to make more profit, for researching funds and paying the mortgage for all her sisters. (Not that Lori would take it. She had too much pride to rely on her younger sisters financial.)

How sad was that? Lisa could own a House before Lucy, which she thought was ridicules to compare herself to her Lisa of all people. Even Lynn was looking into buy house near her parents and thinking about working Physical Education one day in Royal Woods community.

Her parents' reputation was damaged the most, but they still kept their jobs and built back up their trust in the community. They just lost the trust of other parents having to bring their younger kids over. After all, who would bring let Rita and Lynn Sr Loud watch over their child, when they lost a son? Right…no one.

It took a while for other parents to trust Lucy parents with supervising other kids and even they turned down that offer…Her parents' confidence in raising children was shaken, but not broken.

Her parents sometimes were suffocating with-

Lucy phone vibrated, and some joy in her heart picked up in hope's it was Rocky. She thought Rocky was asleep already-

Is everything okay at Luan house, Lucy?- Mom

Another sigh escapes her lips and she shakes her head. Too much to hope for, right?

Everything fine mom. Nothing bad happening. I am going to bed soon. Good night.- Lucy

Parts of Lucy was understanding that her parents check in on her, but the average texts or call she received in a day are in the double digits. They did that to all the time, that Lucy silences her phone and did not want to look at it that much during the day. Lisa pointed out that their parents would have easier time by putting all their children in group text, which they were thinking about doing soon. It was overbearing at times…But what could Lucy do? She did not want to hurt her parents feeling and she only had one year left before she went to college. Her major would be Creative Writing or Professional Writing. Rocky wanted to major in Theatrical and Performance make-up artist. He said Lucy inspired him with her creative fake blood she made as kid, when they both had crushes on each other. She wanted to write her poetry and maybe more in the future…Sometimes she played with the idea of writing a story centered around her brother or character like a brother. Someone kind, thinks of various plans and has interest in being Hero when facing some Supernatural challenge. Something to Lucy taste. Kind of scary and yet there some hope for everything.

Shaking her head, Lucy went to turn off all the lights and put her stuff away, then going to sleep in the guest bedroom.

She did not get much sleep, but she got text from Rocky in the morning.

Royal Woods, Michigan. USA: Lana and Lola Loud, age 16. Nighttime…

"Did you finish Mr. Turner math assignment?

"Yes. I am working on studying my French exam in Mrs. Martin. You still working on your homework in Auto Shop-…Is that carburetor your taking part and putting back together?"

"Oui-Oui. Hahaha! Anyway, I done all my work in Auto and this is just something I found in junkyard that I salvaged."

"…It seems clean. Do not let Sam and Luna know you place that on their coffee table. Otherwise, they think you scratched the table and we will not get paid for house-sitting for them."

"Yeah, yeah. I got towel to protect the table."

Two young ladies that had different personalities, but had very similar looking features. Both still teenagers and twins. The difference in the physical features was not much, but could been seen with which twin took care of feminine appearance and the other seem to be to more tomboyish. The twins were watching over house for her sister and life partner house, until they got back from work. Sometimes that last for days and that made there parents worried.

The feminine one of the twins, wear a pink nightgown/robe. She did not have the most revealing or sensual nightwear, because she was teenager and her parents would not all it. Still, she was developing physical curves in the right places and was a distracting beauty of the family. Her family would call her more of diva in terms of attitude. Lola did not act like much a brat anymore, but she still took charge when she could. On her face was green BCL Spa Moisture Mask and on her head was pink hair band connect to golden plastic tiara with her perfectly combed hair, something she refuse to give up even as child.

The tomboy twin was wearing X-Large t-shirt, which was too small for the tomboy. It almost made it seem like the t-shirt was the only thing she was wearing, but Lana had taken to wearing boxer briefs that had frog pattern images on them. Surprisingly enough, Lana did take up some feminine habits from her twin and other sisters. She was wearing a BCL Spa Moisture Mask, but Lana love anything green and that was wet/slimy. That why she still cared for her reptile and amphibian pets back at their parents' house; well feed, warm and safe.

Both girls were focus on tasks and after hour, got up and went to bed. They made sure to take off the BCL Spa Moisture Masks as they both head to bed room.

The guest bedroom had two beds and was familiar to twins.

Besides brushing their teeth, both twins double check their Smart Phones and sent text to their parents, wishing them goodnight in their own unique ways. There cellphones vibrated back and they checked them.

Do both of you have your Pepper Spray and Taser's near your nightstands just in case of home-invaders? Remember, if you hear something in the house, make sure to call 911 first and let the Police handle anything dangerous. - Dad.

Lana sighed, "Every time we do this. We have them, god…"

"Now, now." Lola replied, as she got in her bed sheets of her bed. "They lost a son and they have ten daughters…It only natural they are still protective and that is not ever going change, Lana. It just something we have to live."

Lana just nodded and turned off the lights, with only the moonlight illuminating the room through the window glass. Minutes passed, and…Lana could not sleep. It was not because moonlight and Lola still Sleepy Mask to block any light from reaching her eyes. Strangely enough, Lana knew her twin was not sleeping. How? Because her twin was not snoring like chainsaw.

"Lola." Called out Lana.

"Yeah…" Lola said, tired and trying to sleep. She was having a hard time.

"Do you think…we will see Lincoln again?" an innocent and stupid question, but something plague Lana and the Loud Family for years.

"Lana…"

"Come on…You have hope, right?" Lana pestered.

"It would put all are family mind at ease if we had a body and grave to visit Lincoln. Probably Lisa doing autopsy to make sure that the body is indeed our brother and Lucy to perform the funeral service." The words came quickly out Lola mouth, but her stomach felt queasy for saying that. Instant regret moment on Lola part.

"Lola!" Even if Lola did not see Lana, she could tell that was upsetting answer. An answer that would help neither of them sleep.

That is when Lola decides to get out of her sheets and head out the bedroom door to the bathroom. This probably confused Lana, but Lola need to get something to help them sleep. The very words that came out of her mouth made Lola feel bitter and angry, but also a heavy sadness that she did not like. In the bathroom, Lola got some sleeping pills. When she exited the bathroom, her next objective was to get some water, only to be greeted with Lana having two glasses of water filled up.

Lola wish she did not see Lana face, because there was some slight tears in her eye and they look about ready to be red and puffy…

"I am sorry..." Lola said and she gave her twin a hug. They held on for a minute, before breaking off and Lola handed a sleeping pill to Lana "…I just want my brother back. Even if that means he's…dead. I just cannot think of what other possibilities could have happen to Lincoln or else…It would control my life." With that said, Lola popped the sleeping pill in her mouth and chased it down with the water. Lana did the same.

They head to their beds and tried to sleep, but Lana had something else to say before their minds drifted off into unconsciousness.

"…Do you think he hates?" A fear that Lana and most the family had…If they just were not paying attention to stupid superstition, then would be whole family. Lincoln would have been a great uncle, doing okay in school, dreaming of being dorky comic book illustrator or something, being with his friends, and maybe a girlfriend that look past his brother dorky behavior…Also helping out his younger siblings and taking chance of being in charge of the remaining younger sisters.

Lucy would be off to college soon. Lana and Lola would have it easy and watch over Lily…Lisa was already out the house, doing something that nobody in the family knew about. Something with science. Something with a Government or Company. All classified, was only answer they got from the family. Nobody had any control over the rogue Scientist in the family.

Still, Lola responded with the best answer that came from her heart.

"No. No, he does not hate us…I just wish we could see him…" With that said, both the Loud twins of the family fell asleep.

With wounded, but hope in their hearts.

Japan, Hidden location of Toyo Electric Facility. Lisa Loud, age 14. Night in the Early Morning…

In an underground lab, three people gather. The lights of computers, medical equipment and a cylinder shape glass object containing something in pinkish liquid.

"It seems that your results are bearing fruit." The words came out of her employer. Hayami Katsumasa was interesting, if not opportunistic and ruthless. Fitting for the business man, sadly got to know, that Lisa was use to after a couple years of working on the project. Katsumasa-San is a distinguished looking gentleman with graying hair set in a middle-parting and a thick grey mustache. The left side of his face is horrifically disfigured and his left eye is whitened. He is always seen wearing a light-colored smart suit.

Which made it odd that he was talking to a girl who should be high school but instead was wearing a doctor coat and looking at the large vat test-tube, about the size of teenage to adult male size.

The girl- young lady…She is hailed as a genius from the United States. Her hair was short pixie cut, but messy. She did not care for appearance and had glass covering her face and bags under her eyes, with her face set in permeant blank and stoic look that made it hard for normal people to read her intentions. Dr. Loud wear a green button shirt and black skirt that went to her knees. Her legs had white knee-high socks. Her feet wear was very casual, given she was wearing sneakers. Of course, the young lady wanted to alleviate any pain she had in her feet.

If she was his daughter, part of Katsumasa would be proud. Another part of him would also use every extent of her abilities until she was no longer use to him.

But Dr. Lisa Loud wasn't and seem to be taking down valuable notes and monitoring everything Hayami Katsumasa desire project and need for Toyo Electric Company to rein supreme…a fighter! A fighter that Katsumsa would have as his key to dominate for the Kengan Match's, just as that damn Matsudo and his series of Fang Warriors that maintain his Kengan Chairmen ship for over half-centuries. For decades he had stomached his rival and deal with bowing/scraping under his enemy. It was all a matter of time and right place...

To start Kengan Association under his leadership and reign!

All it took was getting the right data from Worm. It was fair, given Katsumasa was working with them. The Worm was using him, just as much as Katsumasa was using them…Who would think he live in an age where Science would be his salvation in creating the perfect fighter! A key piece to announce his path to power and control the Kengan Association…

He fed parts of the Worm knowledge to other Scientist. The Scientist he hired went as far as they could, but failed when they hit a wall in research that was producing less than satisfying results that he was paying them, especial under secrecy...They were properly disposed of. Then he got Dr. Loud, which help final give birth to his ambition!

"Yes. It seems everything going okay. The subject is around the age of teenager. A rather muscular and peak of human health, but a teenager. His vitals are strong and he is not suffering from any defects, especially the CRISPER-Cas9 equipment that need some my personal modification to activate in the subject genes. The subject Cognitive Insensitivity to Pain you wanted and dial up the chemical release Opioids and Endorphins just enough so he does not end up…like that thing I requested to keep out of my workspace." Dr. Loud responded, ending with cold and direct tone to her Employer. She put down her pad and pen, in a holder near the vat of her test subject/patient. She was on guard and with good reason…

Mostly to this dangerous and derange animal that was hunched over and had his tongue slightly out of his mouth.

"Hehehehehe! This will be so much fun!...It looks so much like me. I just want to murder it... Murder, Murder, Murder-." The other unwanted guest spoke and chanting the same word Murder over and over. Dr. Lisa Loud was on edge, but her features gave no emotion and put her right hand in her white lab coat to grab something within the pocket. If Hayami Katsumasa was cruel man, from Dr. Lisa Loud history of interaction, then this…creature. This creature was something that only derive it existence on feeling satisfaction and caring little of consequences afterwards.

Calling this thing any animal or by label would not do it justice.

With his greenish/tannish skin tone, wide-dilated eyes and salivating mouth would make any Medical Doctore question if he was ill. Not Dr. Loud though. She would be in the minority that wished this creature was dead. Correction...put down, would be what Dr. Loud wish could happen.

This creature was Meguro Misaki, something that worn human skin and shape...

A heavy-set man, with a notably muscular upper body and an overall hunched, bestial posture. He had a messy mop of spiky black hair on his head, psychotic eyes, a dark strip tattooed across the middle of his face from ear to ear and a seemingly permanent open-mouthed grin with his abnormally long tongue lolling out. Meguro current cloths being a normal black judogi.

"Sorry, but he was curious about seeing his little brother is all…" Katsumasa said, as he took a drag out of his cigar. Meguro was focus on the subject in the pink vat liquid that dangled and had various tubes connected to his being for health monitor to breathing to catheter to human fecal matter and substance tubes to receive…But beyond the wires, one could see noticeable muscle development and body twitches in some rem-sleep that subject was happening.

The subject that Dr. Lisa Loud help create and improve upon from DNA template that was Mugero Misaki.

Her patient was Hayami Misaki, a clone that Dr. Lisa Loud created. Two years of her life creating and accelerating the clone to his teenage adolescent years, just so Hayami Misaki could be taught and train by the other two monsters in the room.

She became Dr. Frankstein in this scenario, because she created her own unique monster. Sadness and regret filled Dr. Lisa Loud being, for bringing Hayamai Misaki into this world…only to become something more dangerous in the future.

The reason why she was here was because of Katsumasa need of her skills. Dr. Lisa Loud produce results that Katsumasa was looking for! All the other Scientist he found were…unsuitable and had various failed produce his results. Clones with tumors, sickly, mental-retardation, deformities, etc;. It was only a few years and several hundred failed attempts, but Katsumasa was patent businessman and knew he just need the right scientist. A series of failed products that frustrated Katsumasa, until he found the Scientist who could make bring forth his desire- Dr. Lisa Loud! Of course, Katsumasa preserved the data of failures and successes to help his other scientist he hired to continue his work. That include Dr. Lisa Loud. Usual disgraced or renegade scientist that wanted to push the boundaries to create a Clone of Human, but that was not enough for Katsumasa.

Katsumasa wanted a Clone better than the original Mugero, who he could control and keep some original Mugero for some Kengan Fights. Mugero had impulse control problems, such as-

Grasp! One strong and muscled right hand was wrapped around Dr. Lisa Loud neck, not enough to constrict the air flow but enough for Dr. Lisa Loud to pause and still show no emotion. Katsumasa notice how Mugero inched closer to his 'little' brother, but his true target was getting close to Dr. Lisa. Mugero kept looking at the vat containing his 'little brother', while his other hand was outstretching and Dr. Lisa Loud throat was in her hand.

The Doctor just look at Mugero with disgust and distain, as her right hand gripped something in her right pocket of her lab coat. Her other hand, dangle loosed and relaxed.

"Can I kill her now, like the rest?" Mugero said with undertone of excitement with his creepy smile, as tears of blood started to fall as he got too excited over the idea. Euphoria began feeling his mind and body. Not too much, but enough for Mugero own pleasure and not devolve into a murderous beast on ecstasy. This one was useful, but her usefulness to Mugero seem to come at an end.

"I would reframe from doing that, given my insurance policy I put in place in case of my death during your 'father' employment." The nerve and inner strength of this girl was something to be admired. Her life in the hands of Katsamasa and Mugero, but she did not stop her documentation.

Mugero paused. What was left of his rational thought was there, but the veins throbbing in his hand with desire to CLINCH and BREAK the neck in its hand.

"…What insurance do you have, Dr. Lisa Loud." Katsamasa allowed, just to see if the good Doctor could entertain him. He was like-minded with Mugero. His warrior was created and almost ready to take out of the vat and be 'born' to his world/bidding.

"I put microscopic cameras implanted into my eyes, and implanted microscopic hearing devices in my ear-drums. All this is usual recorded to help me go over my work to see if I made mistakes, but the recordings are uploaded into two places. One place, the Internet/Dark Web…" As Lisa spoke, the hand began to tighten around her neck in anticipation! "…the other to a Kure Clan agent who I paid to past down my documentation in this project to Erioh, the elder of the Kure Clan, adding an incentive of extra pay to inform Katahara Matsudo." That last part causes the deranged psychopath to stop and Dr. Lisa Loud saw Katsamasa good eye had hard look.

"Do you expect me to believe that load crap." Katsamasa said, any elegance and gentlemen qualities in that statement gone. He wanted proof or he was going to kill this girl to get on with his day. He had other business priorities to go throughout his day.

All Dr. Lisa Loud did, was use her left hand to reach into her left-hand white lab coat and pulled out her smart phone. With dexterity and practice, Dr. Lisa Loud punched buttons and apps in her Smart Phone in for her results. In the room certain lights came on, from computer monitors coming around the room and projection light hit the wall behind Dr. Lisa Loud. It was images of Mugero arm outstretched towards Dr. Lisa Loud view point, with Katsamasa Hiyami in the background.

Meguro was distracted, that his eyes left his target whom he thought was helpless and looked at the computer screens that had the image of himself holding his would-be victim, only for Dr. Lisa Loud to pull out syringe out her right white lab coat pocket, close her eyes which stop the video feed and inject the monster pronounce veins in its hand that dared touched her! She pushes down the plunger of her syringe-

In an instant, Mugero hand went unclenched and his right hand to his right arm dangled lifeless. His express from a twist smile then shifting into panic and anger from not feeling anything! What was this?! Not even his sweetest pleasure- Pain! Just numbness, the horrible feeling of nothingness! NO PHYSICAL BODY SENSORY REACHING HIS BRAIN!

"AAAHHHH! What did you do!? BRING BACK THE FEELING, LAB COAT! FATHER! Father I will throw her!...I-I cannot feel my body...getting sleepy…" Mugero declared and almost wanted to lunge at the doctor he wanted to kill. Sadly, he felt sleep and numbness take over. He did not like this feeling! He hated not feeling anything and need pain to experience the pleasure! Anything but numbness…But the Crying Man known as Mugero Misaki was growing tired very fast and-

Thump! The demon was brought down and asleep. He fell to his left side and then his body shifted to his back in a form of limp-resting position on the floor in the resting position.

Dr. Lisa Loud left the syringe and open her eyes so that videos could record that Mugero was indeed taken care of, the syringe in the creature right hand still and her own hand touched her neck. She could not diagnose herself yet, but that damn creature hand left a large bruise that wrapped around her neck. She felt that much! The terrifying thing was, Mugero was holding back and yet was so close to snapping her neck…

Clap! Clap! Clap!

"Marvelous! Most you intellectuals' types always look down on people without MD's and PHD's or have reputation similar to your own, assuming your too valuable to be killed and feel like their positions in life is so secure. We both know that not true. Even hired by me and my reputation, they had no sense of the real danger they were getting into. Usually, they assume that I control Mugero, which I do to an extent. You truly took the initiative to make sure you survive this. I will allow you to live, given you neutralize Meguro…Unless you killed him, which will most likely be the end of you. A dangerous beast he may be, but I do own him." This was game to Katsamasa and he was entertained by it. Dr. Lisa Loud would not talk.

He had several of his own personal guards ready to kill the American Scientist, if she killed Mugero…For a beast, Mugero had some uses that Katsamasa need to use!

From Katsamasa observation, it seems that girl came to realization and loss of some goal after finishing her project to completion. Like by committing a murder, but then regretting their actions. Of course, Dr. Lisa Loud created life and the 'son' he always wanted…It just that she found something she thought she was looking for and realize it was not here. Plus, Dr. Lisa Loud would never mention herself in this Cloning project, because it would incriminate herself and Katsamasa knew that this young scientist cared too much for her family. It was leverage in their contract together, that they would keep this secret to their graves.

A weakness, but something to secure that his secrets would be kept a secret.

Dr. Loud, pressed buttons on her smart phone and this turned off the projected image and the computer monitors that watched/recorded her visual point of view, before looking at her, strangely enough, as a former Employer.

"I made sure to create a Muscle Relaxer and Tranquilizer that would kill a normal human, but this thing is not human so it will live…" Dr. Lisa spoke, then walked past the burnt Businessman and head towards the door. Not even caring to check on Mugero. She saw enough horror movies to not take chance and… Mugero was lying on his back with his chest showing steady breathing. The creature tongue lolled out and his eyes were closed, but he was breathing out his mouth and nose easily enough. The blood that came from his eyes would crusted over Mugero face in scab tear trails...

"Were done here. This was interesting experience, with horrible people, but I am done. I got other options and places to work at. Send my payment through our usual online bank accounts and I will hopefully never see or talk to you ever again." She was done speaking and was about to open the door and head up top, leaving this experience behind her. She graduated with all her MD's and PHD's at 12, while working at Toyo Electric Company in secret for two years. She was done and wanted to head home back to America as far as she was concern.

"Why did you accept my offer? Did you want to play god, Dr. Loud? What did want to see if you can tackle the idea Science and see if you could do create a Clone of a Human?" Katsamasa called out, not caring if the young Doctor gave response.

He just wanted to figure out what made the young scientist 'tick', but he had assumption do to his background check on Dr. Lisa Loud…A certain missing and most likely dead family member would be Katsamasa Hayami biggest bet.

Lights break through the dark room through the door threshold and Dr. Lisa Loud pause. Images of white-haired boy ran in her head. Baby teeth, toe/finger nails, blood samples safely preserved (she did this secretly without any of her family knowing about), and fecal samples…She had ingredients to clone her brother, but going through the process and developing a actual human being was different. All she did was create a body from a monster and would be raise to be a more terrify monster. Could she have clone Lincoln? Yes, but it would not be Lincoln. It would just be a body that had her brothers DNA and NONE of the memories and moments they experience in their childhood…Just a body with her brother DNA.

She was foolish and obsessive to ignore all logic and reason, until she actual created Misaki Hayami...

That was her goal when figuring out how graduate early and require all the necessary studies to obtain degree after degree and certifications. She did not care for fame in the Scientific community. Her work would speak for her genius for itself, in the future. Researching both legal and illegal possibilities. Learning ten languages/writings to become a hyperpolyglot. Dark Web forums and backroom deals with studying possible way to Clone an actual Human being…All with an illusion of an idea of a broken heart little girl wanting to bring her older brother back to her family and have her whole family back. Her will and intelligence were something to be feared!

Working under Katsamasa Hayami final brought the pieces of the puzzle of cloning a human being to become a reality…but also disillusioned her chances when she got the results of bringing back Lincoln into her family life. When she succeeds in the process to get what she wanted in human cloning, Lisa final realize that her brother for all extents of her life…was gone. Nothing she had could record her brother experience and memories…Another piece of the puzzle that would be forever out of reach.

She was closing that door childish obsession and she would be heading home for family. Putting away childish ideas of bring her brother back to family with her science for good.

Dr. Lisa Loud continue out that door and never looked back.

Royal Woods, Michigan. USA. Rita and Lynn Sr Loud residence. Lily Loud age 10. Nighttime…

It was too quiet in the Loud House. Something that Lily hated…and her lavender PJ's. Not that they were not cute. She loved her lavender top and bottom PJ's, but she like to be more 'free' so to speak. Something her dad, mom and sisters all told her not to do.

"You're not a baby anymore, so please keep your cloths on, young lady!"

She hated that. Her room was large and all to herself…She should have Lisa as roommate, but she graduated early and was off working for months, only coming in on holidays for the past two years. From what her parents talked about with Lisa, money-wise, Lisa could buy her own place. The best house in Royal Woods. Something that her parents did not want. Genius or not, they wanted Lisa to stay with them longer. They viewed Lisa and all their daughters as babies…

Half her room was Lisa Room and the other half was to her own taste. Almost comedic way on some old sit-com TV, before Streaming Services, one half the Room was Green and the other half was Lavender color. All the science, degree's, scientific awards and other equipment that Lisa use for Medical to Engineering purposes were strangely in a neat order…Most the time, Lisa room was a chaotic mess. When Lisa left, she asked for Lily help to organize her stuff before she leaves.

Lily half of the room was filled with Aloha Beach posters, Diary Land theme posters, fluffy stuff animals (Teddy, Bun-Bun, and Fenton were her favorite stuffed animals) on her lavender bed sheets and pillows, Leni homemade dresser drawer, and her own library…Well, not library. Mostly Comic Books, Manga's, Manwha's, DVD's and Video Games. She was grateful to have a small TV in her room, but she usual played in the living-room. Not only posters, but her own personal drawings were on the wall from her pets, classmates or family. On the dresser-drawer was alarm clock and a picture of when her family was whole…

Lily got out of her bed and picked up the picture, looking directly at the white-haired boy with chipped tooth and orange t-shirt….

"I cannot even remember you, but everyone else in the family does and it always either in fond memories then sadness…"

Her family told her all about Lincoln. His likes, dislikes, friends he had, his hobbies…Then even strangely said he read Comic Books in his underwear. They just never talked about how Lincoln was abducted and it was subject they said would tell Lily 'When she older…' Her parents and sisters always seem scared and…ashamed. Like what happen to Lincoln was more their fault than the abductors.

Like, if Lily found out, then she would hate them forever.

Back to less serious and negative subject. Back to one weird story about Lincoln her sisters and parents told her…About how he brother always read his Acy Savvy Comic's, in only his underwear. The normal embarrassing family talks and stories…

Why would a boy wear only underwear while reading Comic's? Lily would rather be completely nude when she read her Comic's and stuff…which her family frowned on and could not seem to break her out of that habit. She was in her room and nobody, besides her family saw her in birthday suit! She was trying! Lily just did not like wearing cloths. They were itchy and confining her body movements!

Anyway…Her older brother was abducted and gone from their lives. Which caused her family to be a tight-nit group, always staying close and looking out for her each other.

Her smart phone vibrating and Lily went to check on it. It was late a at night. Who could still be up?

Sorry for the late text, family unit. Heading back from Japan and looking for employment closer to home. At the airport and will be back in the United States sometime soon. Will be home soon…I love you all and goodnight. - Lisa

That was great! Lily smiled brightly, but she did find it strange that Lisa was more…emotional during this Text. She was more cut and dry, kind of like a robot on Text just as she was in person half the time. Something must have gotten her emotional or Dr. Lisa Loud must have had a near death experience from experiment. Hard to tell, but Lily knew Lisa would never kill herself over a experiment…She hoped. It was hard to tell, but Lisa was coming home! She was going to be around more!

Speaking of Lisa, she left a gift for Lily that she used for years to help her sleep.

"Where is that white-noise machine she made me. I need to get some sleep."

Master Bedroom, Lynn Sr and Rita Loud age 50s. Nighttime…

"Thank goodness! Lisa coming home and she might be around longer! That great." Lynn Sr said, in the bed with his wife with the lamp lights turned on.

"I was beginning to worry what she was doing…She was so distant form us. Now…I am still worried. I have not read something that emotion from Lisa, at least not in long time…" Rita replied, agree and yet something in her maternal instincts told her something was wrong. That Lisa was distress and wanting to come home.

Both parents of the Loud Family looked at their smart phones from Lisa text and about ready for bed. In their respective nightwear. Both had taken up reading, mostly self-help books…

Lynn Sr gotten old, to middle age. He lost a little more hair and his side burns were starting to grey. He was still healthy and active for man his age, but he was feeling his age more. It helps that he had such a large family to look after him. Reminding he to eat properly, dress nicely, make appointments with the doctor, etc;. He was still working his restaurant Lynn's Table, which has become a local favorite of the Royal Woods. Of course…he did not eat as much and almost lost his restaurant through depression and a short-term drinking problem…because of his son abductions. His wife was in similar state, but his daughters pulled him out of his lowest moment and he kept his business alive. When Lincoln was gone and he had to explain his embarrassing/mob mentality his daughter's though his only son was bad luck…

Well, Albert Loud punched him several times, almost breaking his jaw and actual breaking his nose…That memory lingered and he always felt that he deserved all that pain and more.

Anyway, Lynn usual worked in the Kitchen of his Restaurant and look over the books to see how they were doing financial and paying his employee's. Lynn did not have the same confidence when dealing with people, so he stayed out of sight and worked where people did not see hi,

Rita was also middle age as well, but kept her appearance and dyed her roots blonde to hide her age as best as she could. She was thinking about letting age show more and letting some grey hair show. They were blessed with large family…but they were missing one. After Lincoln abduction, Rita stopped her Advice Column. What advice could Rita give, given she neglected her son so much that he got abducted by predators? All over something as silly and stupid as 'bad luck'. She did not know how it started. She worked as Dental Assistant still, but she did not have her usual enthusiasm for the job and was faking her positive emotions for the clients. She did take leave of absence because depression and short-term drinking problem, but her girls surprise her and they're family stayed close. Of course…telling her father about the incident did not mean Albert was kind to his daughter. He was ashamed of her and…That hurt her the most. Her father did not talk to her until her and Lynn were at the lowest.

Albert Loud had to act as leader of their family snap them out of it.

"Do you want to lose your remaining kids? Keep acting as you are and you will. Those girls are strong, but they are also fragile too. You have to do your job as adults and look after them!"

Those words echoed in their mind. Albert was still alive, but ever since Lincoln abduction, the elder Loud of the family was feeling his age. Like the joy of life was taken out of him. It was only with his being a great-grandfather did he pick up new since of joy in his life and the family visits at his Nursing Home.

Lynn Sr put his book on his nightstand. Self-Confidence and Improvement: How to Improve Yourself…

Rita put her book away by her nightstand. Loving Yourself and Learning to Forgive Yourself.

As healthy married couple, they had their nights of passion…But tonight, the mood was not there. They both found it strange that some couples actual plan out their nights of passion, instead of being spontaneous. Something about arguments and break down in the marriage. Not in their marriage. Lynn and Rita had a strange empathic connection of what they needed from each other, over decades of marriage.

"They probably still hate all the texts." Lynn turned off his lamp light.

"They do, but they also like it. I am just glad we did not drive them away with being…" Rita turned off her lamp light, as well.

It was dark, with only the themselves to talk and listen to each other.

"Smothering? Overprotective? Constantly checking in on their well-being like good parents?" Her husband listed out.

Rita turns her side to look at her husband to ask, "Are we good parents?"

Lynn got closer to Rita, hugged and cuddle her, but not giving a response right away until he found the words.

"Most of our kids graduated, found their own special someone's and we have grandkids. Lisa coming back soon, so will have four kids in the House. It been too quiet lately…" As soon as he said those words, his wife hugged him back, trying to reassure him they are doing good. They were doing good, except one incident that haunts in their quietest moments alone.

"I wish he was here or that we had a g-g-grave to go to." Rita chocked up at the word 'grave'. It was part of her admitting her son was dead. It been so long and most people never get back body of their missing love ones.

"I know, hon…I know…" Lynn hated word too, but he just hugged and cuddle with his wife, as sleep slowly took over.

They self-medicated and had only one or two glasses of wine together, just to help them sleep and get through the nights. Not too often, but they felt that tonight they need to.

Lincoln absence…left a whole in their family that no new Grandchild or In-Law could ever make whole.

It was their fault.

No one, not even their daughters, could tell Lynn Sr and Rita Loud otherwise…

Japan, Ajiro Docks. Night in the Early Morning…

Currently, Shin Takashi was on the docks of Ajiro, near a fishing warehouse. It was closed and no workers have come in yet. Dawn had not even broken through the sky to start the new day. He needs to rest…He was hallucinating and remembering how for almost twenty-four hours, he was being stalked and pushed past his normal limits. Sweat covered his body of his white-collar shirt, with his pants covered in his own piss on his crotch…Disgraceful for a man in his late-twenties to actual piss himself, but he had his reasons…

He as on top the world the other day, but everything went down hill when he checked the mail before his left to work the other morning and gave his wife one last kiss on the cheek. It was almost twenty-four hours since his hell began…

Your days are number…We know of your embezzlement and you know we do not take kindly to thieves. Sadly, your in too deep and your no longer useful as our Shell Company CEO. Consider this your termination. We left you pictures of your love ones for to look at one last time.

No name or return address.

The pictures were wholesome images of his parents and wife enjoying their daily lives. It also had pictures of his mistress, both naked and screwing like animals. Shin knew he was not perfect. His job was front of a Shell Company for the Yakuza group he works with to turn their illegal income into legal income, for their uses. So, he steals some money from Yakuza possible billion to trillion-yen underground empire, but he thought the group would not notice a couple hundred million. Shin only been doing a a few years in his five years of working with them and stealing a little every month skimming off the top of their profits…Shin guess the Yakuza got the hint he was stealing money, most likely by his new house, nice car and then spending money on his mistress on the side to pamper and keep quiet. Only a couple hundred-thousand to hundred million in yen. No big deal…Apparently, it was big deal to the Yakuza group he worked for.

He remained calm and went through his normal routine, while formulating a plan to drop off the grid and go into hiding. Instead of driving, he took the train to work to keep the front that everything was normal and he just had some car problems.

Little did he know, that when he would encounter…him!

"You scared yet? Do you regret what you did?" That voice came on the public train this morning, where an unknown and homeless looking man was sitting close to him and introduce him to a rainbow of pain with stab and poke under his left arm! He never felt anything like it, but all through out his left arm was a new pain and a loss of motion…His brown paint, had a wet spot stained with piss. Something was sticking out of is skin and he tried to find the man, but he moved to the next car over in train…No a whole lot of foot traffic of people going to work, especially in the early morning. He got some first aide and ignore people questioning the smell and stain on his pants, with as little dignity as he could muster. One question came to mind…

Why didn't his killer take him out there and then? Shin only speculation, that the Yakuza was going to kill him for his knowledge, but now it seems possible the Yakuza wanted to teach Shin a lesson before he died.

Anyway, Shin got off the train and ran! He was in hiding all morning to noon and Yakuza hitman found him! All while his left arm receive no medical attention, save for the bandage over the throbbing pain he received… He could not move his arm! His left arm just dangled uselessly.

All the while, he felt only two pair of eyes stalking him and waiting…It could have been Shin paranoia, but also the his arm was useless dangling and felt stabs of pain when moving his body! Like the pain in his arm brought on the feeling that his killer was nearby.

Other people would wonder why he was not going to the police and confessing his crimes? He did not want to go to Police! 'Hi, officer! I used to work for Yakuza as shell company CEO. You might have seen me in some business magazines! Oh, I also been turning their illegal money into legal money. Please kill me, because I know that the prisons you sent me will not protect me at all! Just give the Yakuza more time to be creative with how they will torture/kill me!' That would be the end…and he had the will to live!

Another point the day, he meant his killer while on the run.

"Are you scared yet? Do you regret what you did?" His would-be killer spoke. That time in a café for lunch, in public, where he tried to get food and something to drink. Not whole lot people were in there… Shin gotten an illegal hand-gun, given Japan strict laws on holding certain Blade weapons and Fire-arms, after the War. He got himself the gun, because Shin was on the run and criminal. He needed protection.

Somehow, his soon to be killer got close to him in the café! Like he walked by and tapped him…But it felt like his would-be killer stabbed and poked something out of his right side of his neck, causing him to cry out in pain in right skull and lose sight in his right eye?! In the disturbance he caused, his would be killer escape and it did not help that Shin was in a Security Camera blind spot.

It annoyed him so much, but not as much as he felt fear!

He was going to die. He Was Going To Die!...HEWASGOINGTODIE!HEWASGOINGTODIE! HEWASGOINGTODIE-!

Shin Takashi was close to have a mental break down at that point and did not want think about this fear...

This fear of being stalked like an animal and about to be devoured by a predator.

The Yakuza group must paid as much as they could for his killer instructions on tormenting his last day of being alive...They have succeed in that regard, but Shin was alive!

Fuck those underground Criminals! He would live just to piss them off!

All he got was medical bandage for his right neck wound, where some flesh wire coming out of his body was poking out and seem cut…Was that tendon or nerves? Was that how his killer was harassing him? Now he was blind in one eye, he could see a damn thing with it.

He ran and ran, not knowing peace and feeling his death creeping up on him. His killer stalking him…

The day turned to night and Shin was too tired to run and did not have any thought process of where to run to. He just ended up that Ajiro Docks as coincidence and hope nobody would find him here… Just so he could take quick power-nap.

He was tired…tired of running. The warehouse on his back felt cool and the concrete he was sitting on felt nice.

"Are you scared yet? Do you regret what you did?" That damned voice came back, at the present time right now!... Standing before him. With his only his left eye, Shin glared and looked at his killer.

Nothing screamed anything special about his killer, other than unremarkable clothing that hid his identity. His killer was covered up so much that he could only see his killer blue eyes…Those hard blue eyes, so full of focus and waiting for his moment. Most of his clothing was dark blue, from the sweat jacket to the blue jeans. Even his sneakers were blue. His medical mask was white blue and his killer was wearing a blue beanie and his hoodie over his head. It was smart…Very dark colors were easy to see in the dark, but shades of dark blue and green were hard to see at night. Other than that, he could only guess from the killer eyes that he was NOT Japanese. That was only a guess though…

His killer pulled out smart phone out with his black glove right hand and took picture. Shin heard that much and thought it was galling that his killer was sending a picture of how bad and horrible he looked at this moment... Possible to the Yakuza who he used to serve faithfully before they found out about his embezzlement of their profits.

"SHUT UP!" Shin raised the gun in his left hand to fire- Only to realize his gun was gone! No…there was blur of motion from his would-be killer left arm, which indicated his arm moved but too fast for Shin to see.

"You looking for this? You got to keep a better grip on holding a gun. For recoil. Also, both hands for better accuracy. Why do you think I took out your arm and eye as I was stalking and terrorizing you, without breaking or causing serious injury?" His killer said, his black glove left hand holding his gun. He realizes both hands had gloves on and no blood. His killer tossed the gun over his shoulder- Pulunk! -Metal meeting water, and sinking fast into the waves of the ocean. Nobody would find that gun…

"Just get it over with…" Shin had enough, he felt like he lost all dignity at this point. His fall from success was great to him and he felt nobody would morn him, besides his parents…His wife and mistress would move on with their lives. His spirit to live to anger the Yakuza was gone...

Whoever his killer is, the damn Yakuza paid enough and got the right killer to tire him out. Defeating Shin in mind, body and spirit...

"Sure thing, Pissant-san. Next life, do not cheat on your wife and do not double cross your meal ticket by stealing money from them." That was all his killer had to say, before putting phone in his right pocket. His right hand went to Shin neck, so slow and calmly…that Shin was almost confused as what was happening. How was he going to die, if his killer was coming at him so slowly? His killer placed his black glove right-hand underneath Shin chin, almost cupping his chin, and crouched at Shin level, his blue eyes staring into Shin brown eyes.

That when a realization came to Shin when he looked at those cold eyes, was someone who did not really like killer but knew how to do it as chore. No pleasure. Just business.

Then Shin face turn- CRACK!- his neck snapped by sudden movement, with his killer using right hand only! As Shin Takashi was dying, in his final moments. He was not thinking about the beginning of his life or love ones or other personal thing.

The only personal thing was weird fun fact…It was fact that medical and engineering-based science about certain car-crashes discovered how much pressure it took snap a human neck. He did not know where or why he remember this. As his consciousness faded, he could only think about regurgitating the fact that his neck was snapped and how it was done by this unknown killer hand with a flick of wrist... The pressure that was needed had to be greater than 3,000 newtons to fracture the cervical spine. That equaled to an impact of car-crash, with one the cars weighing 226kg (500lbs), hitting a wall at 30 miles per hour…Yet, somehow his killer did not twist his neck so horrifically. That took a scary amount of control and practice...His neck snapped to right sharply with a disturbing cracking sound of a broken neck and his killer set his head against the warehouse. To look out to the ocean, with the life leaving his eyes.

So much power and torque in his killer had in just one wrist of his right hand. That was what Shin Takeshi marvel at as he died.

Just a flick of the wrist and his neck broke like twig…His killer must have been powerful person.

Then the sun slowly came up… The killer left, leaving no traces or evidence of himself at the scene.

People found Shin Takashi body, first found by local celebrity Karo Yoshinari going to work and trying to get to his boat, but found a dead body along the way. No signs of the killer and corpse was starting to grow stiff in rigor mortis. The local police label it as homicide and EMT took the body, but it was just another cold case they could not solve. Just that man was not native of Ajiro and his company lost funds, going bankrupt after his death. Nobody found where the flow of money went, but speculated on Criminal Organization link to that. Nothing really connected the pieces together to get the full picture.

Little did anyone know, that was just one of many victims killed by a new rising Underworld Assassin…Shion of the Koei Style!
