Chapter 223
In collaboration with avenger44.
(The Loud House.)
Lincoln and Jordan are the only ones in the house, both of them are strumming on their guitars and enjoying their own company. "So, what's up with Patriot and Valkyrie?" asked Jordan.
"Well, as it turns out there might be some more food for them when summer hits, and it comes onto the form of any small animal that is looking for a place to cool down" replied Lincoln. "I just hope that Lana can be able to tell her animal friends to duck, cover and run for it, because Patriot and Valkyrie will not hesitate to hunt for food for their hatchlings and teach them how to hunt."
"They're only a few months away from actually learning to fly and that's when things get serious" replied Jordan. Just then they hear Vanzilla come back and hear multiple doors close. "They're back home, I wonder how they're day went."
The front door opens and the loud sisters all come in. Lincoln then puts his guitar away and looks to his sisters. "Hey guys, how did ….. Wow! What the heck happened to all of you?!"
He sees Lori's is dyed in blue from head to toe, Luan is covered in ball shaped bruises, Leni's hair is now an afro, Lisa is itchy, Lucy is drenched in liquid and it smells like an energy drink, Lynn Jr is holding a black ball, Lana is covered in glitter and Lola is covered in mud.
Lincoln and Jordan have no clue what has happened and have no words to say anything. "Guys, can someone tell me what happened to all of you."
"I was just getting my ball from the sand trap, until I got stuck and it sucked me in! The team pulled me out and it ended up exploding and now half the team are dyed in blue!" Lori looks angrily to Luan.
"I was just walking through the halls, the lights go out and I get pelted by golf balls! You think you had it worse!" Luan glares at Lori.
"Someone replaced my hair spray at school and my hair turned into this!" Leni then looks to Lisa.
"Someone replaced my clothes with something very, very unsettling and it would seem to be altered with itching powder!" Lisa then looks to Leni.
"All the soccer balls have been painted black! All of them!" yelled Lynn JR and she glares at Lucy.
"I was drenched in that stupid energy drink just as I was leaving the young morticians club meeting!" Lucy looks to Lynn Jr.
"Lola got glitter on me!"
Lana got me muddy!"
The whole thing turns into a catastrophic argument between both sides of different parties. Lincoln and Jordan are confused by all of this. "Stop!" They all stop and look to Jordan. "Let's just dial it down a bit and keep calm, now why the heck would all of you blame each other for this.
"Because she did it!" They reply and point to the one they accuse. Then they start to argue, again.
Lincoln and Jordan can see this is getting out of hand, and at this point they might return the one thing Lincoln does not like, the sister fight protocol. So, it was time for Lincoln to try and fix this. "Guys! Stop it!" They all remain silent and look to Lincoln.
"Let's get something's straight here!" Lincoln looks to Lori and Luan. "Lori, do you think Luan would prank you at the one thing you love? You know she's changed ever since last year, and Luan what makes you think Lori would attack her own sister with golf balls? She's trying to step up after her past mistakes."
Lori and Luan realizes what he says is true, Luan would prank Lori at her favorite thing to do and Lori would never want to hurt her siblings, not anymore.
Lincoln looks to Leni and Lisa. "Leni, we know Lisa isn't the same heartless and emotionless little girl anymore, plus she doesn't dabble into messing with our personal stuff anymore. Lisa, why would Leni give you clothing with itching powder in it, she's not a mean person."
Leni was seeing hoe blaming her 5 year old sister was stupid and Lisa then realizes Leni would never do this sin to her own family.
Lincoln then looks to the jock and the Goth. "Lynn, why would Lucy paint the soccer balls black? She doesn't go to the middle school and would never do that to your sports stuff. Lucy, we all know Lynn can be who she is. But why would she drench you in energy drink? She only does that when she wins something and it's usually on either me, Lana or dad."
Lynn and Lucy look to each other, they have known each other since they were made roommates and would never make the other mad. Except for that time when they argued and didn't wanna be roommates.
Lincoln then looks to Lana and Lola. "Guys, did you see each other do this?"
"No" replied the twins.
"Then what did happen that made you think it was each other?" asked Lincoln.
"Well, I was just playing in the mud at Tall Timber Creek and also warning my animal pals about summer and the eagle will be hunting, then someone came and poured pink glitter on me and ran off!" said Lana. "And I know it was Lola, the person had a tiara and was ….. Taller than me." Lana realized what she just said. The others gasp at what Lana said and look to Lola.
"Now that you mention it" said Lola. "Someone snuck up behind me at the mall parking lot and sprayed mud onto me and had Lana's hat and was also bigger, like big kid bigger!" Both twins look to each other and realize. "So, it wasn't us."
Lincoln smiled. "See, it was neither of you. None of you are to blame for each other's bad things that have happened." Then he stops and realizes. "But, something is up and someone is up to no good."
"Looks like we got someone on the revenge list again" said Jordan. They all groan hearing that.
"Seriously?! Another dork who wants revenge?" said Lynn Jr.
"Who do you think it is this time?" asked Lana.
"I think I have a theory, but I'm not sure" said Lola. They all look to the pink pageant twin. "If I can recall, Lana was at Tall Timbers Creek at the same time I was at the mall, and I think the attacks on us were at the same time and when Lana said that her attacker was big kid big, and so was mine. They could be those two stinkers!"
"Hank and Hawk?!" said Lincoln.
"But those two guys are in juvie!" said Leni. "Right?"
Lisa pulls out her tablet and she types down the name of the juvenile hall. "Oh dear." She then shows them the news. "It seems the juvenile hall in Bay City had a riot and some of the inmates have escaped, and that must also include Hank and Hawk." Lincoln and Jordan didn't like this. Then Lisa shows them something else. "And guess who else in also held there and also escaped."
They all see the photo of a very familiar bratty blonde hooligan. "Tyler!" said Lori. "So, he teamed up with those two stinkers and did this to us!"
Lincoln then looks around. "Guys, where the heck is Luna?" That name struck them all hard and they knew Lincoln is going to get worried. "Guys, I know that some of you were at school, so has anyone seen her?!"
Then Jordan gets a phone call and puts it on speaker. "Hello?"
"Jordan Rosato, this is principal Rivers of the Royall Woods High School, you and the louds have to come here pronto!"
Lincoln speaks up. "We're on our way." He then leaves the house with the others following, Lincoln then whistles and Patriot arrives. "Head to the Royal Woods High School and secure the perimeter!" Patriot nods and takes off.
Lincoln, his sisters and Jordan hop into Vanzilla and Leni's car and they drive off.
(Royal Woods High School.)
They all arrive to the school, park the cars and get out and they see Principal Rivers. "Good, you all made it! Look!" She points to Luna's purple Ferrari, it was vandalized by spray paint and mud and pink glitter. "And there was this note on it!"
Lincoln takes the note from Principal Rivers and reads it. "If you want to know more about where Luna is, then is suggest you either brush your teeth clean or enjoy some comforting food." Lincoln then crushes the note and looks angry. "We have to split up!"
They all are confused by this. Lincoln looks to them. "Lori, take the twins, Lisa and Luan to the dentist, the rest of us are with Leni and are headed to dad's restaurant!" They all know he has a plan and it the assailants might strike again.
Lincoln looks to Principal Rivers. "Can you keep an eye on the car until help arrives?"
"I will, you have my word and I will also try and buff some of this garbage off of it." Principal Rivers brought with her a bucket and a mop. Soon two janitors also join in.
Jordan then calls her godfather to come and fix Luna's car and also deploy some troops to the two locations their headed to.
They then head into the two cars and they make their way to the two locations. Patriot follows Lincoln and the others to Lynn's table.
(Lynn's Table.)
Leni's car arrives and they head to the back and into the kitchen. Lynn Sr notices them. "Hey guys, how's it going? Here to help out your old man at his work place?" He then twirls his knife and it hits the ceiling. "Dang it."
"No time dad!" said Lincoln as he looks around. "Luna's been kidnapped, again."
"What?!"
"We were attacked by Hank and Hawk for the whole day, and we think he also teamed up with that bratty kid Tyler after they busted out of juvie" said Lynn Jr.
"They must've taken Luna as an act of revenge and we were left a note to either go here or where mom works for the answers" replied Lucy.
Lynn Sr is shocked, but then he regains himself and needs to stand up. "Should I help?"
"Sure dad" replied Lincoln. "Has anyone come in here and left anything?"
Lynn Sr looks out the window and sees there are only a few customers and he recalls who went in and out. "No one inconspicuous that's for sure, the only ones who came in here are Scoots, two bikers who are friends with Scoots and Mr. Grouse. It's been slow day."
Lincoln and Jordan think about this. "So, the answer is not at the restaurant, so it must be at the dentist!"
Jordan pulls out her phone. "I'll give them a call!" She then gets a signal and a reply and she puts it on speaker. "Lori, anything there?"
"Guys, mom said someone threw a tablet through the window along with a rock and Dr. Finestein is knocked unconscious from it!"
They all gasp at this. "Okay, now Tyler is making things personal and taking is too far!" said Lincoln. "Lori, we're on our way to see the tablet. Do not touch it, who knows what they rigged it with."
"We won't, also the police are here and Lisa is explaining to them what happened."
They then hang up on Lori and make their way out. Lynn Sr leaves the restaurant to Carol, Kotaro and Grant while he goes after his missing daughter.
(Royal Woods Dentist Dentist.)
They arrive to the scene and they see cop cars, and a Guardian Tank with Peter Harris coming out. "We got the tablet and there is nothing rigged into it, we also didn't look into it yet. Lisa told us who are responsible for this and we're ready to figure out where they are." Then Jordan's parents arrive.
"Someone broke the car and stole the tires" replied Jesse.
"We had to take my car, also I was almost pelted by paint balls when I went to the ATM" said Rick.
Jordan then realized they tried to go after her parents and ruin their day. This really did became personal, to the louds and to the Rosato's.
Lincoln and Jordan then see Sam go to them and hug them. "I don't know where Luna is, but I know you guys are gonna find her! And I want in on it as well! Simon and Stella are also coming here."
Lincoln smiles. "Thanks for coming here Sam." Lincoln then looks to everyone. "Alright, let's see what this is."
Lincoln hands Lisa the tablet and she plugs it into her tablet and it shows the hologram image of the video. They see Tyler, with Hank and Hawk but they don't see the location they're in. "This seems to be a recorded video."
"Hey there Loud! Remember me? The kid who wanted to beat you and ruin your future! Because you ruined me and so to these guys!" Hank and Hawk chuckle.
"As you should know, that we have been ruining your sisters lives throughout town and making them look like fool's, and that was because it was all the diversion so they don't know that you're precious favorite sister Luna is missing! Say Hello to the camera rock chick!" Tyler grabs the camera and Hank and Hawk step aside and they see Luna tied up and gagged. She struggle sto free herself and looks to the camera and cries.
The very sight of his sister being tied up is making Lincoln angry, Sam and Jordan are also feeling like they want to beat him up. Hard!
Tyler then makes the camera focus onto him. "You wanna see your sister okay? Then do as I say. You're going to come to the place where we first went face-to-café and no cops, no troops, no sisters and no other people to get involved. Just you and me! Oh and bring your girlfriend too, she pretty much helped you ruin my life and Hank and Hawk's life! See you soon Loud and better hurry, before we get bored and ruin your sister!" He then turns off the camera.
They are all shocked by this, this was a ransom video and they wanted Lincoln and no one else to come. Though they have been through this before and they know they can try and beat him, but the location was not specific.
Jordan looks to Lincoln. "We know where he is" said Jordan. They all look to her and Lincoln.
"Well, where are they?" asked Rita.
Lincoln looks to Patriot who lands onto his shoulder. "Patriot, go back to the house and get Lucifer ready, when the time is right I'll tell you when to come in and toss him to me." He then whispers to Patriot the name of the location to go to after he gets the bat. Patriot nods and he flies off back to the Loud House to get the bat.
The others know it's not gonna end well when Lincoln brings in the emergency weapon into the mix.
Lincoln then gets into the Guardian Tank, along with Jordan and Peter Harris. Peter gets into the driver's seat and Lincoln looks to the others. "Follow us!"
They all get back into their cars and police vehicles and they follow the Guardian Tank to the scene of the crime.
(Royal Woods Supermart.)
They all arrive and park their vehicles away from the place and see the store manager and his staff outside of the building.
Officer Schoffner goes to them. "Sir, what seems to be the problem?"
"We can't get in!" replied the store manager. "We tried going through the back doors and sure as heck none of us can fit through the vents, also we saw two large kids walk around holding the butcher knives, the whole Supermart is on lockdown!" He then sees everyone else. "What's going on?"
Lincoln steps out of the crowd and looks to the door. "What the? What are you doing here?" asked the Store Manager. He still feels bad about accusing him of something he tried to fix last year.
Jordan stand next to Lincoln and they both look to the surveillance camera looking at them. "Tyler! We're here, now let us in!"
The doors to the store open. Lincoln and Jordan look to the others. "Do not follow us, but at least try and find a way in" said Jordan. They all nod and watch as Lincoln and Jordan go through the door and it closes again.
"Alright, let's scan the perimeter and find a way to breach this place!" said Peter. They all nod and scatter with some cops and troops. The Store Manager can only guess that his place is going to get wrecked. But they all fail to see Sam go somewhere else.
In the Supermart, Lincoln and Jordan walk through the isle of the snack section. They then see Hank and Hawk walking by their sides.
"Took you two long enough!" said Hank.
"Yeah, we were getting bored and were planning to see how many cuts your sister can take!" said Hawk.
The two large kid's chuckle. Lincoln restrains his anger and calms down and they follow the two large kids. They know they can't take them on since they have butcher knives.
Then they stop at the camera room, which is next to the cold goods section. Coming out is Luna tied to a wheeled computer chair and pushing her is Tyler. "Hello, hello Loud and Rosato! Miss me?"
"Never did you punk" growled Jordan. Luna looks to them in tears, she doesn't want them to be here.
"Looks like they don't know how to say they missed us" chuckled Hank.
"Well I sure missed how much we almost succeeded last time" said Hawk.
"Let my sister go, now!" said Lincoln in anger. He can see how hurt Luna is, she has a bruise on her forehead.
"Hey! You are in no position to tell me what to do Loud!" said Tyler. "I'm in control now and what I say goes. Now this is what's gonna happen, you do as I say or your sister loses a finger!" Hank then goes near Luna and he readies his knife.
Lincoln then looks to Hank and Hawk in anger, then he looks to Tyler. "What do you want Tyler?"
Tyler smirks. "First, I'm gonna humiliate you, then I'm gonna beat the living crap out of you and then I'm gonna end you right here in this place, nice and slow. Oh, and I'll be sure your girlfriend and sister see you slowly break!"
Hank and Hawk chuckle and they bring in the cooler where they're gonna lock Lincoln in. "We are so going to enjoy this!"
Lincoln and Jordan then smell the air in the vents has changed, it smells like feathers, meat and American pride. Wait, you can smell that?
Lincoln then smiles. Tyler then grabs a really long salami stick. "Now, do as I say and take off all your clothes!"
"No" replied Lincoln.
Tyler, Hank and Hawk are confused by this. "What?!"
"He said no boss" said Hank.
"I know what he said!" yelled Tyler. "What do you mean no?! I am the one running the shots now! I am the one in control! What can you possibly do to take us down?"
Lincoln then smirks. "Death from above!" Patriot comes out of the vents and he starts to flap his wings and claw at Hank and Hawk. The two boys scramble in trying to knife the bird, but Patriot is too fast.
Hank's knife flies off and lands onto the wall, Luna sees this and slowly creeps her tied hands to it.
Jordan then grabs a rope of smoke sausages and she sues it a whip and whips Hank and Hawk's butts and they run around screaming, Tyler is about to hit Jordan with a frozen salmon, but she dodges his attacks.
Patriot then tosses Lincoln the bat named Lucifer and he grabs it. "Oh. Yeah!" He uses the less nailed end of the bat and whacks Hank in the head and he falls to the ground.
Lincoln then uses the bat to strike at Hawk's feet and he falls and groans in pain. "When did he get a bat?!" Patriot then knocks over some stacked cans and they all fall onto the boys and render them unconscious. Why? There are canned corn beef, large size!
Jordan then uses her sausage rope and grabs Tyler's leg and she makes him slip and fall. Then someone hits the kid with a Tuna fish and he was unconscious. Lincoln and Jordan see who it is. "Sam?!"
"I went to the back and waited for the cameras to shut down, then I picked the lock and called the others to come and follow.
Then Hank and Hawk get back up from the piles of cans. "Dude, let's get the heck out of here!" They are about to make a run for it, but then they're both knocked down to the ground when they are hit in the heads by balls of cheese.
They turn around and see Luna, with her hands free and exhausted. "Luna!" They go over and hug her.
Lincoln hugs her tightly. "Luna! Luna! You're okay!"
Luna smiles and sheds some tears. "You came, and you saved me! And now we're all okay now! Everything is fine." Jordan and Sam also cry and hug her. But Luna hugs onto her brother as to not let him go.
"It'll never be fine!" They turned around and see Tyler raising a large butcher's knife. Luna and Sam get in the way, but then a loud banging is heard and Tyler falls to the ground and screams in pain.
Tyler sees his right leg is now bleeding and he cries. Lincoln, Jordan, Luna and Sam turn to the left and they see …. Lori with a gun? "No one hurts my siblings!" Then the rest of the siblings come and hug them.
But then they notice the others aren't here. "Guys, where are the others?"
"The whole place has been rigged with traps and they all got caught in nets, toppled by shelves and slipped over spaghetti sauce" replied Lisa.
Sam is confused. "I guess I was fast enough to avoid the traps, damn lucky!"
"So I grabbed the gun from Peter and used it." Lori and the others see Tyler who is crawling away and crying, but his foot is stopped by Lori. "You are not going anywhere!"
Then Peter and the rest of the cops arrived and they all look like messes and also white from flour. "We heard gunfire and …. Wow! What did you do?!"
(Later.)
They're all outside and they all explain what happened and why Lori shot Tyler, the cops will see this as a Good Samaritan kind of thing.
Paramedic's bring the injured boys away along with a police escort so they can be sent someplace else for juvie.
The louds are all happy Luna was safe, and so were Lincoln and Jordan. Then the store manager goes to them. "Thank you for taking down the kid who ruined the store last year. And I am sorry for what happened, and for how I acted last year too, I guess I should've checked on my camera's to see who really the hooligan was."
Lincoln doesn't respond and grips his bat and looks away. Luna looks to her brother and pulls him closer. Jordan, Sam and the louds can see he is still conflicted with the Supermart.
The Store manager sees this, he knows things aren't going to be great with the kid not wanting to go back there again. "Well, as a thank you we can let you all shop here at half off."
"Just go with the regular prices sir, I think there's too much reward from damage" said Lynn Sr sternly.
The other louds also didn't want what he was offering. Lincoln is still conflicted with the place after all that has happened and is Rita. The Store Manager walks back to his store, but then he sees some people who see this and start whispering. This was just the start of the ruin to his business.
Luna then hugs Lincoln, with Patriot sitting next to them and holding onto the bat. Lincoln hugs Luna and sheds tears. "I …. I didn't like being there. I didn't want you to get hurt again Luna! I don't wanna lose you!"
Luna strokes his white hair and kisses his forehead and hugs him. Jordan kisses his cheek and also hugs him, the others also join in the hug. Lincoln had to face Tyler, Hank and Hawk, Luna getting kidnapped and possibly hurt, getting hurt and killed by his enemies and the Supermart itself.
Amongst all the louds whose days were almost ruined, Lincoln's was hell. His whole day was his fear and he now has to heal, again.
"You're not gonna lose me bro, you're not" Luna sheds tears as she hugs Lincoln, she can feel him trembling in their embrace and then cries.
Lincoln gained a brief rush to save his sister and now that rush is gone and fear has once again taken over.
They needed to help Lincoln once again, but then they all recalled what was coming soon. The Royal Woods Elementary Graduation! This was not gonna look good.
A/N: Thanks to avenger44 for the idea of the return of Tyler, there will be an aftermath of what had happened and how Lincoln will heal and try and look forward to graduation, and I know some of you have been wondering when Lincoln would use the bat again so I delivered. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
