Chapter 208

In collaboration with avenger44.

(Gus' Games n' Grub.)

The arcade seems kinda busy, well only some kids we all come to know are there.

Simon, Stella, Clyde, Liam, Zach and Rusty and with them are there three other new pals, Trent, Artie and Lance.

"So, when is Lincoln comin' here?" Liam is playing Pacman.

"He said he's coming today, I sent him a text and he told me he was coming with company" replied Simon who is scoring some bank shots.

"Probably Jordan, you know how he is when he brings his lady friend along" Lance also scores a bank shot.

"Speaking of lady friends, what about you three? Where are your ladies at?" Stella finishes beating Rusty at Street Fighter.

"How are you good at this?!" said Rusty.

"All at the mall" replied all three boys. Artie and Trent are both racing.

"It's kinda nice with some more company here at Gus'. Usually it's either just a few of us or just two of us" said Clyde as he wins playing Mario.

Zach arrives with his soda. "Glad you three are now part of the crew."

"Hey, if Lincoln thinks we're worthy to be his friend, then I guess we can hang with you guys as well" said Artie as he beats Trent.

"Plus, Linc's kinda our pal ever since he put Chandler down for good. I'm still kinda shaken that he did damage to those Stankcos" said Trent.

"You think he'll be fine?" asked Rusty.

"He probably is, but his big sis will be on his watch just in case" said Simon as he finishes his last bank shot.

"Maybe it's Luna he's bringing along. Or both Jordan and Luna" replied Stella.

Then they see Lincoln and Jordan come into the arcade. "Huh, so it is Jordan he brought with him" said Liam.

Then Lori and Luna follow behind. "Luna as well, and Lori?" said Clyde.

"I thought Lori quitted working here, what is she doing?" asked Zach.

Lincoln, Jordan, Luna and Lori spot the boys and go to them. "Hey guys, I think we should all have a talk" said Lincoln.

They are confused by this. "Okay, about what?" asked Zach.

Then it hit Simon. "Oh no."

Stella, Trent, Lance and Artie look to him. "What's wrong Simon?" asked Stella.

"This is gonna be bad" was all he could reply.

They all head to one of the tables and chairs and take their seats.

Lori and Luna are sitting on either side of Lincoln and Jordan. "I don't even know why I'm dragged into this" said Jordan.

Luna and Lori look to Simon, Stella, Artie, Trent and Lance. "You dudes can go and chill with your games, this is a talk between us and them" said Luna.

"I think we'd like to know as well" said Lance.

"Something tells us it has something to do with whatever these four did" said Trent. They sit on the other chairs and listen in.

"So ….. What are we talking …. "Rusty stops and sees the unamused looks from Lori and Luna. The other boys are also a bit startled by this.

"Is something wrong?" asked Liam.

Lori is the first one to speak. "Can you four literally tell us what the heck you guys did to Lincoln after Ronnie Anne moved, like a certain multiple stupid things."

They then realize what she meant and looked to Lincoln. "Sorry guys, we had a talk about the trivia contest and the winner is Zach's friend Renee and then they asked me why I know her and then it turned into the whole incident of you guys trying to "Get me back out there."

They then see the angered face coming from Luna.

Jordan is confused by this, then she looks to the four boys. "Can you boys explain what you guys did?!"

They all chuckled and then they explained to them and Jordan about what happened. They thought Lincoln was upset that Ronnie Anne was no longer there, they tried to have a guy's night out even though it was still daytime and they tried to hook him up with multiple girls. Zach's Ace Savvy friend Renee, Liam's sci-fi loving fan Hattie who spoils movies a lot and then Lincoln wanted to know what was Rusty's plan, and they were shocked he tried to hook him up with his elderly piano teacher Tina! And then they had him go to a girl who was doing karate which ended with injuries all over. Then they told them they tried to send Lincoln on a trip and that's when Ronnie Anne called and they tried to get Lincoln back, they paid the price in cleaning all the bird poop off of the white suits.

At this point Lori, Luna, Jordan and the others remain silent.

Simon sighs and counts. "A Three, a two and one!"

"What the heck were you guys thinking?!" yelled Lori.

"An old lady?! Are you for real dudes?!" yelled Luna.

"You made him get beat up over some girl for a comic?! That's kinda low" said Trent.

"Nobody loves spoilers in movies dude!" yelled Lance.

"This is ridiculous! And you guys made him skip on dessert at Gus'!" said Artie.

"So that's how you four come up with a plan? Wow, now I know why Lincoln is the smartest in the group. He's the man-with-the-plan and all you guys do is mess up" said Stella.

All four of them were getting a hell of a scolding, but they could see Jordan remained silent. This was bad.

They all stop ranting and notice the silent Rosato. "Jordan? Are you okay?" asked Lincoln.

Jordan sighs and casts a vicious fiery glare towards them. "Thursday. Opposing sides. You know what I mean."

It was then they knew what she meant. For Clyde, Rusty, Liam and Zach it was gonna be a world of hurt when Thursday rolls in.

"I think we should be on team Jordacoln" said Trent, the other two boys agreed.

They then calm down. "Okay, what you guys did was literally the stupidest thing ever. You boys don't know Lincoln that much during that time and didn't even bother to ask him" said Lori.

"And you got my ki- I mean so- I mean bro hurt! Not cool dudes! Not cool!" said Luna in anger. They were shocked at what she almost just said. Lincoln felt this was getting kinda awkward.

"You're lucky he can take a hit, well not that many" said Stella.

"And things got worse" said Simon as he drinks his soda.

"So, are you guys going to do something to us?" asked Zach.

Lori and Luna calm down and so do the others. "We're not gonna do anything else, I think Jordan giving you guys a beating will be good enough" said Lori.

"I'm gonna need some time to think about what just happened" said Stella. Simon assures her with an arm around her.

"We shouldn't tell our gals, chances they'll beat you guys senseless if they find out" said Artie.

They then look to Luna. "I'm disappointed by all of this, but that was in the past. Well last year, so I'll let it slide. We're all changed now and some of you know each other and the many things you all went through, but if anything like this happens again I will get serious! Do I make myself clear?"

All four boys gulp and nod. Lincoln sighs. "Sorry guys, karma has a way of coming back to all of us. No hard feelings but I can't really stop it when things get protective."

Liam speaks up. "No harm bud, and I kinda feel bad for lettin' my cousin Hattie just blurt out like that at the movies. Sorry Linc."

"And for letting you get hurt by my friend Renee" said Zach.

"How the heck do you know that girl?" asked Lance.

"At least you didn't have to meet my piano teacher" said Rusty nervously.

"And another thing to mention, stop being a ladiesman. It'll get you hurt one day, and when I mean hurt I mean deep down depression hurt" said Lori.

"At least he has Polly Pain now" said Stella.

Eventually they all leave the arcade and part ways, they have a lot to ponder on what just happened.

Lincoln, Luna and Jordan hop into Vanzilla. "Well, that went ….. Unexpected" said Lincoln.

"Sorry Lincoln, but we had to speak our mind" said Lori.

"They were dumb to do this to you, and also irresponsible" said Jordan.

"It's okay guys. I know you're all just looking out for me" said Lincoln.

Luna scooches closer and pulls Lincoln and Jordan towards her with one arm, they enjoy this nice moment as they head on home.

Lincoln was kinda shocked that Luna almost said those words to his friends, it would've been awkward real fast if she said it. But he knows she's just being protective.

(The Loud House.)

They make their way towards the loud house, and something catches their eyes. A brown haired girl, in a blue dress, blue shoes, white socks and orange head band. Lincoln and Jordan immediately recognize her. "Cristina?!"

But something was wrong, they could see she had some bruises and a black eye and her clothes were almost worn out and she was chained to the tree. She looks towards them with some tears rolling down her face and her mouth was gagged. How the heck was she not noticed by everyone in the neighborhood?! There was no one in the house though.

Patriot flies back after a long trip to find some fish, he then sees what was happening and swoops down and lands on Lincoln's shoulder. "Glad you made it buddy!"

They then head to the injured girl.

"Oh my god! We have to get her out of there!" said Lori.

They all try and free her from the chains. Lincoln then has an idea. "Patriot get the case under my bed!"

Patriot flies off of Lincoln's shoulder, drops off the fish to Valkyrie and the chicks, flies into the room and gets the case from under the bed and flies back to Lincoln.

Lincoln grabs the case and pulls out his nailed and barbed bat Lucifer. "Everyone stand back!" He then strikes the chains repeatedly and they soon break.

Cristina falls onto her knees and cries. Jordan helps her up. "We have to take her inside, she needs some medical attention! Now!"

Lori picks up the girl and with Jordan then head back into the house.

Luna looks to the rusted chains. 'No wonder why they broke from Lincoln's bat.' She then sees Lincoln put the bat back into the case and head inside, Luna and Patriot soon follow.

They enter the kitchen and tend to her wounds. Jordan removes the gag from her mouth and Cristina spits out a crumpled paper and hugs Jordan. "Thank you! Thank you! I've been missing for two months!"

They were all shocked. "Two months?!"

Lori applies some bandages onto her injuries after treating them. Lincoln stands in front of her. "Cristina, what happened? Who did this to you?"

Cristina starts to shed some tears. "I-I'm so sorry! I …. I told them not to! But they w-wanted me to send y-you and Jordan a message!"

They were all confused, but Lincoln and Jordan then figured it out. "Who were they?" asked Jordan.

Cristina drinks a glass of water and wipes away her tears. "D-Dennis and Patrick!"

Lincoln and Jordan know those names. "Dennis Stellars and Patrick Aldrich!" said Jordan.

"Chandler's old goons!" said Lincoln.

Lori and Luna are shocked by this. "What?!"

"Looks like they want some revenge" replied Jordan. "What else did they say Cristina?"

Cristina looks to Lincoln. "I'm so sorry Lincoln. They w-wanted me to s-spy on all of y-you. They know where the rest of your f-family is! They have three of them!"

This made Lincoln, Lori, Luna and Jordan go wide eyed and pupils shrink. "What?"

Cristina cries and then points to the crumpled up paper.

Patriot grabs it and opens it and places it on the table for them to read.

Dear Loud and Rosato. We have three of your stupid sisters! The stupid clown, the Goth freak and that little Einstein. You want them back? Meet us at the abandoned McCann Mansion, we're gonna settle the score after you two got us transferred out of Royal Woods!

From Chandler's old pals, Dennis and Patrick. This is for Chandler too!

Lincoln was now angry and he was gripping the baseball bat's case very hard. Luna was shocked, but also angry as hell and Lori has got to be the angriest of them all. Three of her sisters have been kidnapped again!

Jordan knew this was serious, but how the heck did they know. She looks to Cristina. "Cristina, what did they do to you?"

The three Louds also look to the scared twelve year old who was once Lincoln's crush. "Th-They threatened to h-hurt me or do something e-evil if I didn't listen to th-them. They wanted m-me to spy on the daily th-things your family does, I t-told them they would b-be at the park."

Lincoln, Lori and Luna remember where each of their siblings are. Leni is at work, Lana and Lola are helping their dad at the restaurant, Lynn is hanging out with Paula, Lily is with Rita visiting Pop-pop at Sunset Canyon and Luan said she was going to bring Lisa and Lucy to the park for some outdoor time.

Lincoln then looks to Cristina. "Cristina." She looks to him with tears. "We're gonna make sure you get back home, your parents must be worried sick from when you were missing. But you need to get to a hospital to see if you have any other injuries."

Cristina nods, she could see just how caring and strong he was when things went wrong. 'Jordan is one lucky gal, I guess I misjudged him too soon.'

Lincoln looks to his sisters and Jordan. "We need to call in some backup, and fast. The rest of our fam and friends need to know."

"I'll call my godfather and tell him what's happened" said Jordan as she makes the call.

"I'll call the others" said Lori as she pulls out her phone.

"We already know where they're hiding, chances they'll do more harm to our sisters if we bring in some backup" said Luna.

Lincoln then thinks of a plan, and he does. "I got it!"

Luna smiles. "Looks like my bro has another brilliant idea. What's the plan Linc?"

Lincoln then looks to all of them. "We're gonna need to go to Lisa's room first!" He then looks to his eagle friend. "Patriot, we might need you on this one." Patriot nods.

(McCann Mansion.)

Luan, Lisa and Lucy are both scared and angry at these two boys who kidnapped them, but they're also sore in the head from their attack.

"You ingrates won't get away with this!" said Lisa.

"You two got a lot of nerves kidnapping us!" said Luan.

"How many more idiots are gonna keep coming to get Lincoln and Jordan? This is getting stupid" said Lucy.

"Hey!" yelled Dennis. "We are not idiots and definitely not stupid!"

"Yeah" said Patrick. "We have a plan on how this'll work and if Loud and Rosato don't show up, then you three are gonna get a beating! Just like what we did to Cristina!"

The two boys are wielding crowbars and have brass knuckles, those ones were old gifts from their old boss pal Chandler.

Luan needed to be the big sister here, she can't let Lucy and Lisa get hurt. They probably won't survive it. 'Lincoln wherever you are, please hurry!'

(Two hours later.)

The two boys pace back and forth impatiently. "Dang it, how long does it take to even get here?" groaned Dennis.

"You think Cristina escaped and ratted us out?" asked Patrick.

"Not possible dude, she can't break from those chains" said Dennis. "And even if she did rat us out to the cops, what matters is we get a chance to hurt those two Royal Lovers!"

They both continue to wait, and then they snap. "Ugh! Forget this! Let's just beat these three up!" said Dennis.

"Fine, this is getting boring anyway!" said Patrick. They both move closer with their weapons ready on the three louds girls.

Luan hops her chair over to block them from reaching Lucy and Lisa. "Don't you dare!"

"Fine, we'll beat you up and make them watch" said Dennis.

"Hey!" they turn around and see Lincoln and Jordan standing there, looking intimidating and very, very angry. "Leave them alone!" yelled Lincoln.

"I think … Nope!" said Patrick.

"Yeah, you two are gonna pay for having us and Chandler arrested and having us transferred out of Royal Woods and to another school!" said Dennis. "So it's best we put all that hurt onto these three!"

"Stop!" yelled Jordan. "You wanted to hurt us, not them. Let them go, this is between us and you two numbskulls!"

This annoys and angers Patrick and he charges at them with his crowbar.

"Lincoln! Jordan!" yelled the three loud girls.

But then Patrick hits something hard and metal. Dennis also joins, but he hits something hard and metal. "What the? Are you two made of metal or something?"

"Nope" replied Jordan. She then takes the crowbar and bends it. So does Lincoln.

This scares the two boys. "They're terminators!"

Then the image of Lincoln and Jordan are gone and are replaced by two of Lisa's gravybots! Now with reinforced steel.

One of them sounds like Lincoln. "Let's just say, we had a plan."

And the other sounds like Jordan. "And you two are about to get sticky!"

The two bots then spit gravy all over them, they try and get free but they slip and slide and fall onto the ground, then Patriot flies in and attacks them.

Meanwhile, Lori, Luna and Lynn show up and untie the three sisters. "You guys came!" said Luan.

"We did, this was all Lincoln's plan after all" said Lynn.

"And he used my hologram projectors and Gravybots! Smart thinking" said Lisa.

"How did you guys know what to do? This mansion is big and not easy to tour around" said Lucy.

"Look" Lori points to Patriot. They look closely and see a camera on Patriot leg, which mean that Patriot was in the mansion and spying on them which gave them a full layout at the situation at hand.

"Nice one" said Luan. They break free from their ropes and make their way out of the mansion.

Dennis and Patrick see this and break free from the gravy and eagle attacks and charge at the loud sisters, but then they're both hit in the faces by a ricocheting dodge ball.

They fall flat onto the ground and look up only to be knocked out by the soft but still hard part of the bat.

It was Lincoln and Jordan who arrived.

"Never cross the path of the dodge ball queen!"

"Be lucky I didn't let you guys taste the painful part of this homerun!"

Soon the police come in and see the two hurt boys and take them out of the mansion.

Lincoln, Jordan, Patriot and the two gravybots follow them out.

Dennis and Patrick see that they have been cuffed and they look around. A lot of police and soldiers are there, a lot of camera crews, their parents were now talking to the Louds, Rosato and Éclair parents which means they know what they did to Cristina and then they see Lincoln and Jordan joining into a group hug by the loud sisters.

They both break free and try to attack them, but then they both get shocked and are now down on the ground limping.

Everyone looks to Peter Harris, he was one who arrived in a Tesla Tank. "What? I didn't do anything?"

Dennis and Patrick look up and see Cristina looming over them with a large coil weapon in her arms, it was a tesla gun and set to mild shock. "This is for hurting me and for making me do this evil garbage!" she then whacks them both in the heads with the weapon, rendering them unconscious.

The police take the boys away and Cristina hands Peter the weapon. "Here you go sir."

Peter takes the weapon from her. "Thanks and nice job there kid."

Cristina then goes to Lincoln and Jordan. "Thank you Lincoln and Jordan, for …. For saving me, and I'm sorry for helping them get to your sisters."

"No problem and you had nothing to do with this, you were just used and abused" replied Lincoln.

"As long as you're okay and safe with your family. Then it's all good" replied Jordan.

Cristina smiles and hugs them both, this is getting kinda awkward and they all break the hug. "I do hope we get to hang out one day, even though I live elsewhere now" said Cristina.

"Yeah, in the meantime spend some quality time with your parents. You've been gone for way too long" said Lincoln.

"I've been gone for two months, and thanks for the advice. Well, see you guys" Cristina then walks back to her parents who hug her.

Lincoln and Jordan were glad they could help out an old friend/crush and at the same time save Luan, Lucy and Lisa.

They then go into another family group hug, they know there could be more trouble coming soon. But they'll try and find a way to fight it all. Together.

A/N: Thank you avenger44 for the idea of this chapter. This turned out pretty well, the beginning was all me while the kidnapping and action was all avenger44. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
