Chapter 259
(The Loud House.)
Lincoln and Lana enter the garage and they both check on all the tools they got. "Okay Lincoln, I got my lucky tool box and all the tools I have had ever since I was 5" said Lana. "Now all we need is to get the things we need to make Loud Lightning possible!"
"Which comes down to what we need to talk about Lana." Lincoln goes to her. "I know you wanna go and get some stuff to make the Go-Kart you need. But I got a better idea, instead of going to the dump which is closed for the day, we go get some stuff from the one place where we can get them."
Lana thinks about what her big brother is talking about. "Hmm, can't be Flip's because he's long gone arrested and it can't be the garage in town their also closed for the day. Okay bro, I give up."
Lincoln smiles. "The Allied Outpost Royal-Delta. They might have the stuff we need to make your Go-Kart possible."
Lana thinks about this. "I don't know Lincoln, I don't even think it'll look handmade or something."
Lincoln then sits next to her. "Lana, when you get stuff like spare parts to make your Go-Kart, those stuff have been made before and haven't been used in a long time or have been thrown out because they're not useful anymore. The Allied outpost has the very same things, they have some stuff they don't use and we can out them to good use in making Loud Lightning. See what I'm talking about sis?"
Lana then recalls some of the junk she used to make Vanzilla, the used up parts and all that random junk. She then smiles and looks to Lincoln. "You know what, you're right! We should use what the base can offer and make our Go-Kart!"
Lincoln chuckles and ruffles her hat. "That's the spirit Lana, now come on. It's a long way to get to the outskirts of town on my bike, but we can make it worth it."
"Or I could give you dudes a ride." They both see Luna with her car keys. "Grab your stuff and h=get in my car you two. Big sis is gonna help you guys out."
Lincoln and Lana smile and they grab the tool boxes and wagon and place them into the trunk of Luna's purple Ferrari, but before they get in they see Lori along with Lola headed to her new car, the 1959 pink Cadillac Eldorado.
"Hey guys, off to get some Go-Kart parts?" asked Lori, she then opens her trunk and puts Lola's things in there.
"The Allied outpost is waiting for us and so is Peter Harris, he's on standby with some things we need to make Lana's Go-Kart Loud Lightning!" said Lincoln.
"We are going to make Loud Lightning the Coolest hadn made Go-Kart ever!" said Lana. "We're so going to win when we finish her up and race her at the Royal Woods Go-Kart Grand Prix!"
Lola was happy to see her twin excited and wanting to win something, then she gets an idea. "You know, you can use my little Pink Car or Lulu, she's a Go-Kart. Sort of. Why not use them instead?"
"As cool as that sounds sis, but no" replied Lana. "The pink car is yours and I don't wanna bust her up when we accidently crash on the race and Lulu is an AI car and I don't wanna use some advanced looking car to win the race, it's about the handmade ride and the driver that counts."
Lola smiles. "Okay then sis, if that's what you want. But remember, my car is still available." Lola then puts on some shades. "Let's ride Lori."
Lori sighs. "Well, we gotta get going now. Lola has a photo-shoot for the Burpin' Burger, and Lily is already there with mom. It's nice for Lily to do the photo shoot with her big sister instead of doing it solo."
Lori and Lola then hop into the car and Lori starts the engine. "If they give out free burgers, we'll bring you guys some!" said Lola. They then drive off.
"Well, looks like we might be having some delicious belching lunch, let's ride Lunes" said Lincoln. Lana and Lincoln hop into her car.
Luna hops into her car and she starts the engine. "Hang on dudes, we're going to ride like bats out of hell!" She then hits the gas and they take off to the Allied Outpost, what they don't know is that Patriot takes to the skies and follows them.
Lulu with Lisa overhears this. "They made logical sense Lisa. I am not suitable to compete at the Royal Woods Go-Kart Grand Prix. That would be an immediate disqualification. So making their own Go-Kart is better than using me or Lola's pink car."
Lisa sighs. "This generation of fair play with advanced racing is making things less tolerable and tempting me to use my time machine."
Lulu looks to Lisa. "You do know using your time machine will attract attention to the other friends who made the allied outpost, they will have you arrested for interfering with the space time continuum."
Lisa sighs and looks down. "Yes, yes I know and I do not wish to be treated as an enemy to the state just as my other self is. Now, let's go now Lulu. I have to do the right thing and return these." Lulu and Lisa take off to the library, with the cash she saved and the books she never returned. Looks like she's doing the right thing.
(Allied Outpost Royal-Delta. Outskirts of Royal Woods.)
Luna's Ferrari makes it and they pass through the large Allied gate that opens. They then park the car and get out. They see Peter Harris headed towards them on a Sickle Walker. "Hey kids, glad you could make it." He then gets off the walker.
"Now, let's get you the stuff you need." They follow the man and head to the Armor Storage sector. Peter opens the doors and they see inside so many parts for all kinds of vehicles.
"Whoa! That is a lot of junk!" said Lana. "Some of this stuff looks kinda familiar, sorta."
Luna picks up an eagle logo hubcap. "I think we found something to make the cart look fancy." She tosses it to Lana and Lana catches it with her mouth and she places it into the wagon.
"Yes! Now all we need are four more!" said Lana.
"Got them right here." Lincoln places four more eagle logo hubcaps into the wagon. "And I got other things too." Lincoln puts in some small pipes that could be useful for some of the hydraulics.
"Cool! This is gonna be so awesome! Let's see what else we can find that could work" said Lana. "But nothing too fancy."
"Then let's get to searching dudes!" said Luna. The three louds search around the shelves and boxes for anything they can use, but nothing too fancy or advanced. Just something that seems G-Kart Material.
Peter Harris walks in and sees Luna searching through a box of used up steering wheels, Lincoln opening a case with some old and used up springs and pedals and then he sees Lana looking at some metal parts that could form the shape of something. "Are some of this stuff new?" asked Lana.
"Not really, most of this is either old, used up or haven't been opened in a while" replied Peter Harris. "We sometimes get some new boxes of parts that we can use to repair or restore some of our vehicles, but all the used up stuff is sent here so we may send them back to FutureTech to be grounded back to scrap metal, but as of now you guys can look for whatever you need."
"Thanks!" They begin searching through all the boxes and crates, Luna on the other hand sees something she likes.
"Well hello there luv, what do we have here?" Luna pulls out a grappling gun and it looks portable enough to add to a car. "This looks cool."
"And I assume you wanna use it for your car?" asked Peter Harris from behind her.
Luna sees Lincoln and Lana re distracted and didn't hear her. "Yeah, I do wanna use this. I'll never know when trouble begins and I wanna be prepared. My ride is the fastest thing I've got and probably the fastest around the family too. I think she could use some tweaks to make her more suitable for anything wrong."
Peter smiles. "Very well then, I think I can do that around August, or late July. Just bring your car around, all I got to do to make this happen is contact the guys from FutureTech and see if they can provide some stuff that could go well for your ride."
"Thanks dude, that'll be good use and would mean a whole lot to my little bro and the rest of the family." Luna then continues to search through the box and she grabs a small steering wheel and puts it into the wagon.
Lana comes out from a pile of pipes and she finds herself some metal sheets and she places them into the wagon. Lincoln places some pedals into the wagon, he didn't know which to get so he got twenty pedals.
Luna then gets two leather seats, and they were just the right size for a little kid and a12 year old and she places it next to the wagon. Lincoln and Lana then come back with a chassis for their Go-Kart, it has the shape of the Multi-Gunner IFV, but smaller.
"What the heck was this used for?" asked Lana. "It looks so cool to ride in already!"
"Oh, that thing was a defect in the creation at the armor facility. So we placed it here to be scrapped up tomorrow, I guess you kids can take it" replied Peter Harris.
"Looks like Loud Lightning is gonna look cool than any Go-Kart!" said Lincoln. "We just gotta show how much she's handmade through paint."
"And thank goodness we got a lot of paint back home!" said Lana. They then dig through for more parts they can use, while Peter Harris goes over a list of things he has to do later and he adds Luna's Ferrari on one of them.
(One hour later.)
They soon place the wagon and all the parts into the trunk of Luna's Ferrari, though they had to tie the Chassis of the Go-Kart to the roof since it can't fit. "Thanks again for the parts Peter Harris!" said Lana.
"You made the right call coming to the outpost, and I'll be there on Friday to watch you two cross that finish line!" replied Peter Harris.
They then get into Luna's Ferrari and they drive off, while they drive back to the town. Lincoln notices something, the house that Lord Tetherby once lived in also the place they wrecked is fully repaired and there is a sign that says sold. 'Can't wait to see who lives there now. I hope it's not some snobby rich folk.'
But as they drive off they fail to see the moving truck arrive and a jet black Lamborghini with the parents and their daughter coming out. They look to the mansion and smile.
"You ready to see how this place looks on the inside Christina?"
"Heck yeah I am mom, and it feels good to be back in Royal Woods too." Christina Éclair and her parents head on inside and the workers help haul their things into the mansion. Christina is back in town people!
(The Loud House.)
Luna's Ferrari gets back and they see Leni, Lynn Jr and Lisa waiting for them. They park the car and Leni goes over and she unties the Go-Kart body from the roof. "Wow. You guys found yourselves some score, was it all fun for all of you?" asked Leni.
"Dang right it was!" said Lana. "They had so many cool parts and other stuff! It was alike a toy store, but for car and tank parts and there were so many of them and some of them were going to be sent away to be turned into scrap metal!"
Lincoln and Luna chuckle. "Lana was like a sugar rushed toddler in a candy store, more like a grease monkey toddler in a garage parts store and also a hard ware store" replied Lincoln.
"She went all out going through each and every box and we found all the right things to make the Go-Kart possible!" said Luna. She then opens the back of her car and the trunk and they see the parts and stuff that are needed.
"Sweet!" Lynn helps get some of it out. "So, what do we do first Lana?"
"What?" Lana looks around and she sees Leni, Lisa, Lulu and then Patriot lands down and they smile. "You all wanna help me out?"
"Well of course, we wanna be there to help you make you Go-Kart so you can win the race" said Leni. "It may be nice if it was made by yourself, but it's not too hard to ask for some assistance. Plus, we'd be like a crew team, or was it a pit crew?"
"That would be pit crew Leni" replied Lisa. "Plus, I relish the challenge of beguiling something that would suite competition and you did help me add some parts to Lulu, so it is only fair that I help you with your Go-Kart, bit sister."
"We are going to use team work and team spirit yo make Loud Lightning! Even though some of us are busy elsewhere" said Lynn Jr.
"Then it's a good thing I came back on time!" They all see Luan arrive with Lucy on the unicycle. "The birthday gig for Persephone was a Grimm success and I think we laid down the dark for all of them!"
Lucy chuckles. "We're here to help you now Lana, all of us. We're family and we stick together and help one another, even if whatever it is a less of an interest to some of us. No offense."
Then Lori's car arrives and coming out is Lori and Lola. "Are we late?" asked Lori, she and Lola go towards them. "Wow. That is a lot of Go-Kart parts."
"Wow! Thanks guys!" Lana sheds a tear. "I don't know what to say!"
Lola hugs her and then she wipes away her tears. "Just tell us what to do and we'll make this work, but first I need to change out of this. Be right back!" Lola heads back to her room, then she comes back dressed in a mechanic clothes and a bandana. "Okay, now I'm ready!"
They all look to her confused. "What? This is what I wore for the little miss hard work and cutie pie contest a year ago! This is the only outfit I have that is meant for this kind of greasy work."
Lana is stunned by this outfit. "Huh, how come I've never seen that before?"
"Because it was at the very back sweetie, now come on guys! Let Loud Lightning come to life!" said Lola. They all cheer and they head into the garage with all the parts.
Then Lori gets an idea. She grabs the video camera from her bag and she sees the battery was still full. She then sets up the tripod and she sets it to record them working on the Go-Kart. 'I'm sure Bobbie Fletcher will be even more impressed by this, nothing beats true racing than the hard work of a family/pit crew.' Lori then goes over and helps them.
"By the way, Lola why did you and Lori come back so early? And where the heck are mom and Lily?" asked Lana. She then hands Luna and welding torch.
"The photo-shoot was only 30 minutes and Lily and mom went to the daycare and then they'll be back home with dinner, dad is booked at the restaurant with a private birthday for someone" replied Lola. She then helps hold the metal together while Luna, Lynn Jr, and Lori weld it in place.
"So that's why dad seemed Break-fast to leave for work! He sure is bound to be cooking up a storm at the restaurant!" joked Luan, which they all groan to that pun.
"Alright guys, let's get this Go-Kart started, someone hand me the pedal I need to see which one would go well for the beaks!" said Lana. Lincoln brings her the box of pedals and they get to sorting.
Lana then gives them orders on which part should go which, they do some double checking on each one they've got placed together and even test if some of it works.
Lori and Lynn Jr bring in the main body of the Go-Kart and they see if the wheels can support them and they do. They then weld up the loose and exposed parts with some metal sheets that Luna cut down with the table saw.
Lisa and Luan add the suspensions and insert the hydraulic pipes to help with the breaks and steering system and the speed pedal pipes system.
Lucy and Lincoln attach some of the small components that could help the Go-Kart work. While Lynn Jr comes back with the paint ready, she didn't know what color to get so she got all 11 paint.
Lola helps Lana install some of the filters that could help with the Go-Kart's fuel line and with the help from one of Lisa's inventions it now runs on crushed up garbage, a lot of garbage.
They then take a snack break, which is sandwiches and sodas.
Lincoln and Lana attach the wheels in place and Lola starts bring in the screw gun and she bolts the wheels in place and then Luan attaches the tires and hubcaps.
Luna and Lori cut off any loose things that could be harmful to the ride and to the two people riding in it.
Lynn Jr lifts it up and Lucy uses a Jack to help with the lift, Lola and Lisa go underneath and they weld and screw in some parts that might be coming loose, they also make sure the wiring won't grind onto the ground and break off.
Leni stitches up the leather seats with some fabrics she has lying around, the seats now have 11 colored fabrics on it, now that looks family made.
Patriot helps around by handing them some tools that they need, Valkyrie will handle the chicks for the day, but Patriot will handle them for tomorrow.
They then look to the cart and they grab some paint brushes and get to painting, they go all out random on the Go-Kart with their favorite colors, colors that clash with chaos like a family. But Lana adds the Blue lightning bolt top the side last.
They then finish up and take a step back. They all have some sweat and grease on them but they're hard work is done and they look at what they have built together. "Well Lana, what do you think?" asked Lincoln.
Lana takes a look at her Go-Kart.
With the Chassis of a small Multi-Gunner IFV, tires that match it's near size and has suspensions to deal with bumpy roads and hard landings, colorful leather seats and operatable handling on the steering wheel and pedals, the front has a dash board and plastic glass screen with working wipers, the exhaust pipe is at the very back and the fuel tank is still empty built large enough for enough garbage to be liquefied into fuel for the Go-Kart.
The whole thing is painted in different clashing colors of light blue, teal, purple, yellow, red, orange, black, blue, pink, green and magenta and also some brown, white and grey but the lightning bolt on the sides of the Go-Kart are electric blue with the number 11 painted white on the hood which symbolizes the loud siblings and to top it all off, there is a small flag pole on the back that says Loud Lightning.
Lana sheds a tear and hugs them all. "I love it guys! I love it so much!"
They all smile and hug Lana back. "You're welcome Lana!"
They then break the hug and Lana goes to the Go-Kart, she sees the paint is still wet which means she can't ride it yet. "I can't wait to try you out! You're gonna purr like a …" Lana's eyes go wide and she realizes something was wrong. "Oh no."
The others look concerned towards her. "Lana, what's wrong?" asked Lola.
"You look like you've seen a ghost, and that's my thing" said Lucy.
"Is it the seats? I knew I should've used one color" said Leni.
"No leni, the seats are fine" replied Lana. She then sighs. "It's just, this." she opens the hood and they see an empty area, they all gasp and also realize. "We were so caught up in getting the parts she needed and building her up that we forgot about the engine! Dang it!"
Lincoln then goes over to Lana. "Hey now, don't be like that little sis. The Go-Kart Grand Prix doesn't start to Friday, we got plenty of time to either find an engine or make one and we'll do it together, as a team!"
The others also nod. "Yeah!"
Lana wipes away her tears and hugs them all. "Thank you guys so much! This means so much to me and together we can make this work and win this thing!" They all hug Lana.
They soon break the hug when they see their mom and dad come back, with some Burpin' Burger for Dinner. They all head inside while telling them about the Go-Kart they all helped build.
Lori goes over to the video camera and she hits stop and she heads back inside with the others, she had a video to save and then upload when the time is right.
Lincoln walks with Luna back to the house, then he gets a text from Jordan. "Hey handsome, just got back from the mall and I don't know if Lori knows this but her friend Whitney broke her leg and she's headed to the hospital. It's been a crazy sale and Jenny, Stella, Tabby and I are fine, so how was your day?"
Lincoln smiled, he had a long and awesome family team work story to tell her, later.
A/N: I rarely make a chapter about all the louds coming together and helping out. I hope this was okay guys and it leads to the Friday Chapter of "Wheels and Deals". Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
