Chapter 202
(Royal Woods, Sunset Canyon.)
Luna's chrome Ferrari arrives towards the retirement home and waiting outside is none other than Albert (Pop-pop) and his sweet heart Myrtle.
The Ferrari stops in front of them. "Now that is what I call a ride" said Pop-pop.
The doors open and Lincoln, Jordan and Luna come out.
"Hey Pop-pop" said Lincoln and Luna.
"Hey there kids, glad you guys could make it and nice ride there Lunes. Very impressive" said Pop-pop.
Luna chuckles. "If you think that's cool pop-pop, then you should see Leni's new set of wheels."
"And that's what we'd like to see next time we get the chance to visit you guys" said Myrtle.
"Alright, let's get this whole day started. But we gotta be back later before six-thirty" said Pop-pop.
"You got it Albert" said Jordan.
Pop-pop chuckles. "Jordan please, I told you that you can call me pop-pop too."
Lincoln chuckles. "Reminds me of when Jordan's dad wants me to call him by his real name and not sir."
"Then you must've planted a good impression on him" said Myrtle.
They all get into the car, Pop-pop and Myrtle in the back seats, and Lincoln and Jordan at the passenger's seat next to Luna. Luna then starts the engine. "You dudes ready?"
"Heck yeah sweetie!" said Pop-pop.
"Let's get this show on the road!" said Myrtle.
Luna starts the car and they drive off, leaving Scoots shocked by the retirement home. "Heh, reminds me of when I went hot rod down the highway, and get caught by the cops down the highway as well."
They continue they're drive out of the retirement homes range and into Royal Woods.
"So, what's on the agenda guys?" asked Pop-pop.
"First, we're gonna have some lunch at dad's restaurant. Dad has this special on oysters and salmon" said Lincoln.
"Now that sounds scrumptious!" said Myrtle.
"I haven't had oysters since … Two years ago I think" said Pop-pop. Then he frowns. "And I threw up in the end."
"I think you ate bad shellfish pop-pop" said Lincoln.
"Yeah, that's what the doctor said. I hope your dad got some oysters that are fresh and won't cause indigestion" said Pop-pop.
Seeing this as a concern Lincoln and Jordan ready they're phones to call some medical assistance, just in case.
"And after we go to eat lunch?" asked Myrtle.
"Well, my godfather said he's gonna pick us up in one of the allied tech vehicles, and then we're gonna do some sky diving" said Jordan.
"Now ain't that a hoot, are the eagles joining in?" asked Pop-pop.
"Sorry Pop-pop, I guess we forgot to tell you" said Lincoln.
"Tell me what kids?" asked Pop-pop.
"Did something happen to Patriot and Valkyrie?" asked Myrtle with some concern.
Luna then smiles. "Let's just say, come May the 13th, we're gonna have some new Louds in the fam."
This shocks Pop-pop and Myrtle, and now they wanna know more.
(Lynn's table.)
The Ferrari stops and parks itself and they all come out. "Okay, so my godfather said he'll be here later with the ride, so we have some time for lunch" said Jordan.
"Then let's get our feast on" said Pop-pop.
They all head into the restaurant and are showed to their table by Grant and given menus by Kotaro, they even see Lori checking on her clipboard on some deliveries, she sees them and approaches them.
"Hey there Lori" said Pop-pop and Myrtle.
"Hey Pop-pop, hey Gran-gran. And to the rest of you guys as well, you all having a good time today?" asked Lori.
"We are and we're just getting started" said Lincoln.
Lori chuckles. "And I could only guess you guys are ordering the oyster and salmon special."
"We are, let's just hope the oysters are fresh" said Luna.
"No worries guys, the oysters were from the RWRMS delivery. Nice of your dad to help with fresh shipments and delivery" said Lori.
"My dad wants to help out as best as he can. He supports all of us, and this place too" replied Jordan.
Lori then feels her phone vibrating and she checks on it. "Oh, the steaks delivery is here, later guys and enjoy yourselves." She then leaves to the back.
"We will" replied Lincoln.
Then they see Kotaro and Carol arrive with their meals.
"Here you go guys, the oyster and salmon special and with a side of Tartar sauce with it" said Carol.
"And here are your drinks, tell us if you guys need anything else" said Kotaro.
"Thanks guys" said Jordan.
Carol heads back to the kitchen and Kotaro goes to help some other customers.
Lincoln, Jordan, Luna, Albert and Myrtle look to the food. A large bowl of oysters with some lemon with it, and two four plates of salmon fillet.
"Now this looks delicious!" said Myrtle.
"Then what the heck are we waiting for dudes? Let's dig in!" said Luna.
They made sure they keep an eye on Pop-pop, he chose to eat oysters while some of them chose Salmons.
(Skip, after lunch.)
They were now satisfied and happy with their lunch.
"Now that was delicious" said Lincoln.
"You know it bro" said Luna.
"Your dad knows how to make his food taste nice" said Jordan.
Myrtle looks to Pop-pop. "Anything wrong Albert?"
Then Pop-pop makes a large burp. "Woo! No indigestion, I am good."
Lincoln and Jordan sigh in relief and they put the medical numbers back on hold, for now.
"So, you dudes ready to get to our next stop?" asked Luna.
"Heck yeah we are" said Pop-pop.
Jordan looks around. "I wonder where Peter is. I thought he'd be here by now."
Lincoln then pulls out his wallet. Pop-pop sees this. "Kiddo, there's no need for that. Let us pay the lunch."
"No can do pop-pop, I wanna be responsible since I planned the whole day" said Lincoln.
"Not wrong there bro, but I don't think dad is gonna have us billing the whole lunch" said Luna.
"Still gonna pay though" said Lincoln. He places the 225 dollars onto the menu and leaves it on the table, he then looks to his girlfriend looking towards the restaurant's tables. "Where is he anyway?"
Then they spot a very familiar cowboy putting his menu away and his empty plate and he stands up and goes to them. "Hey guys, you all ready?" asked Peter.
"How long were you here dude?" asked Luna.
"And how did we not see you?" asked Jordan.
"I came during the time you all were enjoying lunch, I just ordered the fillet mignon" said Peter. "So, ready?"
They all get up. "Heck yeah we are" said Lincoln.
They all head out of the restaurant and then they see it, the ride Peter Harris came in, an Allied Grizzly Tank.
"Huh, that looks new" said Pop-pop.
"That's because it is, our pals from across the realms sent in some new tech and boy is it many. I lost track of all of them, I think. This is a powerful old fashioned main line battle tank, the Grizzly Tank. Powerful, fast, heavily armored and capable of going toe-to-toe with any ground threat" replied Peter.
Then Luna realizes something. "Dudes, what about my car?"
"Leave that part to me" said Peter. They then spot an odd looking helicopter with two propeller blades on the back and nearing each other but not hitting each other.
"What is that?" asked Jordan.
"Twinblade Gunship, we got some new stuff two days ago and they are awesome" said Peter.
Pop-pop does notice something about the helicopter, its logo. "Sorry to ask, but is that the symbol of the Soviet Union?"
"Yes, yes it is. Freezer Burn sent some new faction tech in the form of some of the finest Russian front line war tech and this is one of them, armed with bullets and rocket launchers. The Twinblade Gunship, recall that Victor guy who got you out of your cast?" said Peter.
"What about him?" asked Lincoln.
Peter then gets into the Grizzly Tank's driver's seat. "He was the man who led those vicious helicopters. Now get in."
Luna watches as a magnet from underneath the gunship and then pick up her car. "Whoa, that is pretty sick." She then hops onto the tank.
Pop-pop and Myrtle also hop onboard and so does Lincoln and Jordan.
"Next stop, Allied Outpost Royal-Delta!" said Peter. The tank then drives off. With the Twinblade Gunship following them.
What they did not know, is that Simon, Stella, Liam, Zach, Rusty and Polly were there and saw this.
"So, when do you think they're ever gonna let us see them base of theirs?" asked Liam.
"Be patient guys, they'll let us know when they'll show us" said Simon.
"That was one cool helicopter" said Polly.
"How many pounds do you guys think it can carry?" asked Stella.
(Allied Outpost Royal-Delta.)
The Grizzly tank arrives and flying by is the gunship and it slowly lands down and drops off the Ferrari.
The tank enters the base and parks itself. Luna sees her car safe and sound. "Nice to see my car still in one piece and those helicopters are kinda cool."
They all come out of the tank and see some of the new stuff there.
They can see some soldiers with Russian uniforms and armored bears?
"Whoa! Lana would love to see this new stuff" said Lincoln in shock.
"Look at this place! So much has changed, I can see some new buildings" said Jordan.
"Yes, a new construction yard has joined. The Soviet Union MCV is here and lots of new manufacturing structures" said Peter. "Now, let's get you guys into a Century Bomber and ready for some skydiving."
They pass by some large tanks with dual guns, some robotic spiders run by beneath them, heavily armored soldiers with tesla energy, spider looking walkers with machine guns and tanks with the same tesla energy.
"Yup, we have a lot of new stuff to cover up" then Lincoln recalls something. "By the way, how's the new naval base at Mr. Rosato's work place?"
"We're planning on sending an MCV there soon, both Allied and Soviet. Rick told me that the board thinks it's a good idea to have a base near they're shipyards. They could use some naval escorts when they deliver to Africa" replied Peter.
"When will these MCV's be ready?" asked Jordan.
Peter then stops and points to the War Factory and Armor Facility and they see lots of cranes and engineers building the giant vehicles, MCV's or Mobile Construction Vehicles. They weren't fully complete, but they can see the massive treads on them.
"Now those look huge!" said Lincoln.
"When will they be out?" asked Pop-pop. "Would love to see them in actual size."
"Sunday, they'll be sent out on Sunday. They're gonna have to drive themselves to the bay and then deploy" said Peter. "You guys can come along and watch these massive things drive out."
"Sounds awesome dude" said Luna. "The rest of the fam will wanna be part of this."
They then head straight for the airfield and they already see some new aircraft there. "We got MiG fighters, Ilyshin Attacker aircraft, Sukhoi Interceptors and of course the Twinblade Gunships. They wanted to bring in some Kirov Airships, but they decided not to" said Peter.
"You mean like the one that Boomer guy had?" asked Jordan.
"Yeah, but not as large as the one he came in" said Peter.
They then spot the Century bomber they were gonna ride in. "You guys ready?"
Pop-pop cracks his knuckles. "Let's do this then!"
"Oh heck yeah!" said Lincoln, Jordan and Luna.
They all head into the bomber and hold on. Peter gets into the pilot's seat and with him the co-pilot. "We're ready for takeoff sir."
"Good, let's get this bird in the air" said Peter. He then uses the radio. "Attention passengers, I suggest you all hold on tight now, we are about to take off."
They all take their seats and buckle up, they then feel the whole plane shake and then they feel it take off.
"Oh yeah! Like old times!" cheered Pop-pop. "And that time I went on my own when Lincoln and I were hanging out."
Luna looks to Pop-pop. "I'm sorry pop-pop. What?"
(High above.)
The Century Bomber is now above Everest level and the town of Royal Woods is very small to them.
Peter looks out the window. "We are way above the normal sea level and not even close to the atmosphere" he then grabs the radio. "Ya'll ready back there?"
In the back, Lincoln and Jordan put on their wing suits and personal parachutes. Pop-pop helps Myrtle into her parachute and Luna is done with her wing suit. Wait! Wing suit?!
Lincoln goes to Luna and sees her in her purple custom made wing suit. "So, what do you think sis?"
Luna chuckles. "Bro, this is kinda awesome …. When did you have time to make this for me?"
Lincoln scratches his head and chuckles. "Last month, a day after we visited the base."
Luna hugs Lincoln. "Thanks bro, this is gonna be awesome. Do the others know about this wing suit for me?"
"No, no they do not. I wanted to make this a surprise" replied Lincoln.
Luna then had one question on her mind as she breaks the hug. "Why did you make this for me? You and Jordan are the flight kids of town."
Jordan steps up. "You've been there and have been backing up Lincoln and I through and through, so we want you to experience what we do. We want you, Luna Loud, Lincoln's rock n' roll sis to join us in flight. Let the sibling bond take flight and go beyond the skies."
Luna is touched by this and hugs them both. "Oh! What did I do to get such a good little couple as siblings?"
Jordan is awkward out by this. "Luna, I'm not your sister."
"Not yet you aren't little Rosato" chuckled Luna. This makes Lincoln and Jordan blush, but they don't know that Myrtle used her phone to take a picture of this moment, Pop-pop just chuckles at this bond.
Lincoln then looks to Pop-pop and Myrtle. "Sorry that we couldn't have any wing suits for the two of you."
"That's okay kiddo, I don't think I can handle flying around. Chances I could break a hip" said Pop-pop.
"Plus, I know we're not that experienced in it. Pop-pop may have sky dived before but a wing suit is way too new" said Myrtle.
"She's not wrong" said Pop-pop.
They then see the light turn on and glow red. "Looks like it's almost time dudes!" said Luna.
They all stand onto the closed double door platform. "This is where we stand right?" asked Pop-pop.
"Pretty much, this is how they drop bombs. Look up" said Jordan.
Pop-pop and Myrtle look up and they see some empty bomb holders. "Huh, I guess it is" said Myrtle.
They then see the light turn orange. "Get ready guys!" said Lincoln in excitement.
"Let it begin! Whoo!" cheered Jordan.
Pop-pop chuckles. "You got a lot of energy to wanna do this Jordan."
"Sorry, this is always so exciting when we do this! Though this is the third time we're doing it!" said Jordan.
"She sure has some sugar rush when it comes to this" said Myrtle.
Then they hear Peter speak. "Stand by! Three! Two! One! Now!"
The doors beneath them open and they all are dropped.
They then see the town of Royal Woods, way below them. "Oh wow! This is exhilarating!" cheered Myrtle.
Pop-pop chuckles. "Whoa! I don't think I've ever dropped off from this height! I can cross this out of my bucket list!"
Lincoln cheers and sees Jordan spinning and laughing. "Looks like someone is enjoying this."
"I've never felt so alive in my life! Heck yeah!" cheered Jordan.
Lincoln then sees Luna also cheering as she's sky diving. "Like one of those action movies, with the spies in them! This is rockin'!"
They all continue to drop and enjoy this long fall. Pop-pop and Myrtle do a little dance as they fall, Lincoln and Jordan hold hands and do some spinning tricks and Luna foes something she always wanted to do, an air guitar, in the air, sky diving!
That's when they pass by a large plane, Luna was able to grab Lincoln out of the way and in time. "Whoa! That was close!" said Lincoln.
"Okay, this got a little intense and epic. You okay bro?" asked Luna.
Jordan along with Pop-pop and Myrtle also go to him. "You okay handsome?"
"I am, a bit startled but okay. Also, I think I got the biggest adrenaline rush right now. Whoa!" said Lincoln a she holds his chest.
Luna hugs Lincoln. "Too close little brother."
Jordan also joins in. Lincoln hugs them both. "I'm fine guys, also we're still sky diving."
Pop-pop and Myrtle were glad he was safe, now they know how Luna feels. But Lincoln is strong and can handle some things on his own. Pop-pop was now thinking of the many bad things he might face. 'I just hope I still have time to spend with all of them, I know I don't have much left for many years before I kick the bucket.''
They then break the hug and look down. "Looks like we're inbound to the ground" said Jordan.
"Which is time for us to deploy" said Myrtle.
"See you guys on the ground later" said Pop-pop.
"Later Pop-pop and Gran-gran!" said Lincoln, Luna and Jordan.
"See you kids soon!" Pop-pop and Myrtle pull on their chutes and maneuver themselves and land onto Ketcham park and right next to Lisa, Lana, Lola, Lucy and Rita.
"Pop-pop? Gran-gran? Where the heck did you guys come from?" asked Lola.
"I think they were sky diving" said Lana.
"Oh hey dad. Hi Myrtle, how was your day with Lincoln, Jordan and Luna?" asked Rita.
"Excellent and I think they'll be flying" said Pop-pop.
They all look up. "Wait, is that Luna?" asked Lana.
"Why isn't she deploying her chute?" asked Lucy.
"What is she wearing?" asked Lola.
Lisa looks closely. "It appears to be a …. Wing suit?!"
"When did Luna have one? I thought Lincoln and Jordan were the only ones who had wing suits?" asked Rita.
"Surprise time I guess" said Pop-pop.
With Lincoln, Luna and Jordan. They look down and smile. "Now!" yelled Lincoln. All three of them pull on their suits and deploy their wing flaps and take off back to the sky.
This shocks the others at the park. "Whoa!" said the twins.
Lucy smiles. "I think I just got an idea for a new poem, it's gonna need a lot of work though."
"Why wasn't I informed about this?!" asked Lisa.
"That's my grandkids" said Pop-pop.
"Look at them go!" said Myrtle.
Rita uses her phone to record this. "The others are going to wanna see this."
Luna opens her eyes and she sees her purple wing flaps had some neon flame designs on them. "Oh wow! That is awesome!"
"I knew you'd love it sis!" said Lincoln. His wing flaps have orange and brown eagle wing patterns on them.
"Look at us!" said Jordan. Her wing flaps have yellow and brown eagle wing patterns on them. "The Man-with-the-plan, the Dodge ball queen and the Rockstar Guardian! Taking flight together!"
All three of them chuckle as they enjoy the view of the whole town below them. This is one new memory they will never forget.
A/N: I thought this was a good idea, got this from taking a three hour nap and waking up with a major migraine, I'm fine and this chapter is kinda cool. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
