Chapter 283
(July 31, Outpost Royal-Delta at the outskirts of Royal Woods.)
The convoy of loud vehicles along with Sam's car and the Rosato can have arrived into the base and they park themselves next to the Allied Armor Facility as a Guardian Tank drives by.
They all come out of the vehicles, though Michelle is the one driving Luna's car, and as she gets out she gets Lincoln's wheel chair from the trunk and helps him onto it. "There, all set and ready."
"Thanks Michelle" replied Lincoln. Jordan and her parents come out and she helps push her boyfriend.
Lisa looks around the base and she sees all the snipers on the walls with their eyes on her. "Lisa, this is only for a day, once we head back home then we'll continue your grounding" said Rita.
"Yes mother" replied Lisa. Lisa is there to see this new officer in charge of the place, Lincoln vouched for her to come, so she can bear witness this new man in charge.
Then a limo arrives and coming out is none other than Mayor Davis. She see the families and waves to them. "I'm here because I heard about someone taking Peter Harris' place as the leader and I have to meet this person."
They all make their way to the Construction Yard, but then they see Jordan's godfather doing some last minute checkups on some vehicles and he sees them. "Hey guys, just my first day on the job as …. Second in command. Isn't this my best day ever. Yay."
They can tell how ticked off he is, then he sees Lisa. "And what the hell is she doing here?"
"I wanted her to come along and see who the new leader is so we can all get accustomed to whoever it is" said Lincoln. "Is this new person in charge here?"
Peter sighs. "Well that person is a she and yes she is here and headed to us right now." They all turn around and they see a new kind of vehicle. It looks like a scorpion shaped vehicle, its legs are treads and it has large scorpion claws on the front and the tail looks like a laser tower and the red cockpit hides the driver.
Lincoln and Simon look in awe. "Now that is so cool!"
The vehicle stops in front of them with a roar and the cockpit opens and they see her. having jet black hair that reaches her neck and is turned into a bun, she is at the same height as Rita and what makes her stand out is her uniform, it looks like an Imperial Officers uniform from Star Wars, only she has a lot of medal on her right side and it has some red and black streaks on the side of her pants.
"Greetings people of Royal Woods." She steps off the vehicle and stands in front of them. "My name is high ranking commander Elizabeth Krennic, I was once the supreme officer for the outposts under the command of Lord Hollow Cabal of the New Galactic Jennerit Empire."
Her last name shocks Lincoln, Jordan, Simon, Stella and Lisa. Then Jordan asks. "Question, is your brother Orson Krennic the one who died on the beaches of Scarif?"
She looks onto Jordan. "You catch up quickly, yes it was my brother Orson who died on the beaches of Scarif and I defy him for his arrogance and incompetence to the old Empire. I was recruited by Lord Hollow after the Empire's defeat and have now been part of the new rule of an even greater Empire and I shall do my duties in ensuring I follow commands and plans of whatever you three have got."
Lincoln, Jordan and Luna have no clue what else to say about this woman. She seems more responsible than Peter ever could be, and that kinda makes him upset even more.
"Okay, so I guess you're now in charge of this place and we should contact you for any signs of trouble?" asked Sam.
"Yes you may, but the first one to gain the call from any of you should either be from Peter Harris of any of the communications officers than it is reported to me" replied Elizabeth.
"Wow. That is … Wow" said Simon. "So, what the heck is that thing?" He points to the large Scorpion Shaped Vehicle.
"That? That is a Scorpion Tank, built as a sturdy combat vehicle and infiltration specialist. It can tunnel into the ground and go undetected, the claws are used to clamp down small targets so that tail can fire its laser and a critical spot. This also acts as a long range combat vehicle and belongs to the faction known as the Brotherhood of Nod, a close ally to your hero counterparts."
They all had no words to say anymore, a new ally and new tech that is beyond dangerous to what is in the outpost now.
"Expect more new technology to come soon" said Elizabeth. "Also, what is she doing here?" she points to Lisa, and then four Droidekas come in and surround her with their shields and blasters ready.
Seeing these Separatist droids shocks them, but kinda scares Lynn Sr.
"Stop. Stop" said Lincoln. "I'll vouch for her, I wanted her to come here and see the new person in charge and see if she has anything else to say."
Lisa then steps up. "I know ….. I know I have sparked some kind of deep and unstoppable feud between me and the man who runs FutureTech and I can see that you have been informed about me and what I have done. But I can assure you that I will take my long punishment with full shame and I will not engage in any form of science unless it is for taking down or tracking anyone who may cause trouble to my family. I hope this won't make things hard between me and this base."
Elizabeth looks to her sternly. "You have been dubbed as a potential threat to the Allied Outpost and soon to the Royal Defenders. They already have one Lisa to deal with and we do not need another one."
The Droidekas stand down and back off. Elizabeth then goes over to Lisa. "Should you try anything else with your careless actions of science and invention, then I will not hesitate to fire another super weapon onto one of your scientist organizations. Do I make myself clear?"
Lisa nods. "Y-Yes." She doesn't want more of her scientist friends to end up like the last ones, and she already has lost 3 of them when they heard what happened. They don't want any part in what she does anymore, and she can understand that.
Elizabeth Krennic looks to the louds. "You all know that those orders are from Martin McKenzie and FutureTech, and it is only a matter of time before the Royal Defenders are told about this and they will be making tough and unpredictable decisions."
"We understand, things have gotten from bad to worse when Lisa made the guy upset" said Leni. "We're not really that upset anymore and just wanna see if Lisa can pull out her genius and barely care about others privacy phase."
"We had phases when we were babies and toddlers, but none of them were ever literally life threatening" replied Lori.
Elizabeth smiles. "Good, now let me show you all what has been newly installed within this outpost, some you all might see a bit terrifying." She then looks to Peter Harris. "The list please."
Peter sighs and hands her the tablet. They can see just how upset Jordan's God father has become and he's got his sights onto Lisa Loud for this whole thing.
Lisa had never thought her actions would lead to this. Anger the most brilliant mind of the realms, a science facility wiped out, have one of their allies become demoted and the whole outpost being commanded by someone whit the attitude of a loyal soldier.
"Alright, follow me then." they all follow Elizabeth as she leads them through the new structures within the base. "That there is the new Headquarters to this base." They spot the large black citadel like building with red energy flowing through it. "That is a Nod Support Crawler and that is where I am outposted, it can take flight and act as a mobile combat platform when trouble has gone into critical."
"Now that is huge!" said Stella.
"Looks way bigger than the MCV" said Rick. "Damn, this place is getting some major upgrades."
Then Lucy asks the woman. "I do have one thing to ask?"
"And what might that be child?" said Elizabeth.
"What about these things?" Lucy points to the 4 Droideka's escorting them.
"Ah. Those Droidekas have been given to this outpost by the ally of the Royal Defenders and there are bound to be more Star Wars based weapons inbound soon, these are just the start and no we are not getting Battledroids, those things are weak and easy to destroy and not as bright as we think they are."
Lana raises her hand but Elizabeth answers for her. "You may ride them."
Lana looks to the droids in excitement and she hops onto one of the Droidekas, the droid helps her up and she's now on its head. "Wow! It's like riding a horse!" They needed to keep an eye on her so she won't fall.
They soon make it to the new Nod Armor facility. "This is where we build the Brotherhoods most lethal and dangerous vehicles." Elizabeth then shows them the vehicles all in line and with no pilots in them. "These vehicles are all on stand by and have no one in them to pilot, yet. We are still awaiting the new troops."
"So, what the heck are these vehicles?" asked Lynn Jr. "Some of them look kinda wicked."
"The Avenger Tank, a medium armored weapon that acts as a mainline battle tank. The Raider buggy, fast and ruthless with its bullet rounds. The Attack Bike, armed with rocket launchers and faster than the buggy. Spider Tank, dangerous alone, more lethal when in numbers for they can link they're laser webs to make it stronger. The Flame Tank, powerful vehicles that will baptize their enemies into the flame and also leave behind a trail of fire. Centurion mechs, mighty walkers that can hold the line with their shields and send devastating rounds with their heavy cannons. The Marauder, fat and versatile vehicle that can be armed with toxic shrapnel rounds. Specters, long range artillery vehicles. Mantis Tank, launches a cluster of rockets and can be armed with deadly war heads for long range assaults and the Reckoner, a powerful transport that can tunnel underground and send troops into the fight with the enemy completely oblivious to anything."
"Wow! This stull seems almost way overkill" said Jordan.
"More like overkill already" said Luan. "Why have these anyway? We don't have any lethal threats in Royal Woods."
"FutureTech is being cautious, ever since the incident involving Lisa Loud and Martin McKenzie, things are now on edge and change is coming in the form of new defenses and protocols and I am someone who stands by them" replied Elizabeth.
"Are there going to be more vehicles inbound?" asked Jesse.
"We are awaiting the new and power housed Nod technology. The Avatar, the Widow Tank and the Aftershock, they could be useful for any critical operations within this world and are pretty much beyond any form of war technology" said Elizabeth.
Luna is confused. "As cool as it is to have some bigger and badder defenses, there is not war ma'am. Just some old enemies trying to make things troublesome for us dude."
"True, but we must remain vigilant" said Elizabeth. "We don't know what we could be facing soon, now let us proceed to the airfield." They continue to follow her, while at the same time Lincoln was having some concerning thoughts about all of this.
They soon make it to the airfield and see the new and versatile aircraft being placed and also awaiting new pilots. "Here we have the Venom, dangerous anti-air and anti-surface missiles and are deadly when in numbers and can enter stealth. Cobra strike gunships, deadly anti-surface aircraft. Salamander, a large missile launcher aircraft that can also burn the surface with deadly napalm launchers. Vertigo bomber, and as the name implies this is a bombed and it may also enter stealth. Basilisk Warship, AI controlled and sends deadly beams of energy onto anything in the air and on land and lastly we have the Medusa, a powerful warship that can send out an EMP beam and create an EMP blast zone."
"We are still awaiting a new aircraft, the Nod Leviathan and yes all of this is necessary" said Elizabeth.
They all look to Peter Harris. "What are you guys looking at me for? This wasn't my idea."
"This seems way too much and way too much black and red" said Lola.
"This is the traditional color of the faction and they would rather have their most formidable and deadly arsenal at the disposal of this base, for they also know of the many problems this world has" said Elizabeth.
Then Lincoln asks. "Can we see the Super Weapons?"
Elizabeth sighs. "Sadly I cannot allow you all permission to see the super weapons that have been secretly built here. Those are orders from FutureTech and to the Royal Defenders. I am not allowed to let anyone, not even the second command see the weapons."
They all figured she might say that. "We understand dude, this is a big change and a lot of things have gone from bad to worse real fast, we just hope this won't cause any more trouble than it has now" said Luna.
Elizabeth smiles seeing how they all understand about all of this. "Thank you for understanding and seeing that this is the new order. But I will tell you about the super weapon that was launched days ago. The Vacuum Imploder is a weapon that was built for the Soviet Union after the time liner was altered after the death of Albert Einstein."
Hearing that news scares Lisa.
"The weapon was made when the Nuclear Missile did not exist anymore and unlike the Old Russian born warhead, the Vacuum Imploder uses stolen Allied Tech and once it lands smack dab onto a target it explodes, but the fire is then sucked back into a black hole like area that will also suck in anything else around it. Those in the middle of the implosion are crushed until it is over, next to nothing can survive the epicenter of the blast, not even aircraft can't escape it."
They all felt like fear just hit their minds and made them feel like the devil just came. "Well, now that is all said and done, shall we have something to eat? There are new foods being served in the food court nearby." they follow Elizabeth through the base and head for the food court.
She then looks to Peter Harris. "Second command, please head to the main power cores and see if they are working at full capacity, inform me of any situations."
Peter Harris has his tablet ready. "Yeah, okay."
"What was that?" asked Elizabeth Krennic in a stern tone.
Peter sighs. "Yes ma'am, I will do that right now." Peter then walks off to do his new job.
Jordan didn't like what was happening, she was now worried that her god father is going to have some kind of personal issues with everything that is happening. She only hopes things won't go bad or worse.
The others also notice this. Peter Harris had a good role in this base since they encountered the Heroes of the other world, and now his new role is making him look petty and small and he does not like it.
They soon make it to the Food court and see the troops stand up and salute to the woman. "At ease." The all proceed to eat their food and the Royal Woods group sees what the new food was being served and sure enough Lynn was going for the spicy food.
(Skip, nighttime Royal Woods.)
All of the louds are fast asleep and Lincoln had just finish tucking in Lisa for bed. He can tell she's in deep turmoil for what she has done. 'This is some change that won't be easy to go by and I hope we can make it all work.'
He then walks to his room, but he does pass by and high five Lynn who walks back from using the bathroom, again. Those spicy meatball subs and chicken wings got to her good and then he sees Lana close the bathroom door and he swears he saw her with her toilet plunger.
'At least there are some things that haven't changed around here.' Lincoln then enters the room he shares with Luna and he sees his big sister double checking her ranged weapon and putting it away.
"Hey sis, I'm gonna make one last message to Jordan then head to bed" said Lincoln.
Luna goes to Lincoln, gives him a hug and kisses his forehead. "I know what this is about bro. Have a good night little brother and see you in the morning." she then breaks from the hug and helps Lincoln out of his wheel chair and onto his bed, then she goes to her top bunk.
Lincoln smiles. "Good night sis." He then grabs his phone from the night stand and lays down onto his lower bunk and sends Jordan a message.
Lincoln: You awake beautiful?
Jordan: Just got changed into my sleepwear handsome and I'm in bed now, Ajax is fast asleep and so are my parents. Though my dad is in his study and going through some stuff, and I know we all are. How's Lisa?
Lincoln: She still feels kinda bad and also blames herself for all of this over the top changes. It'll be a while before she can be her usual self, but I think she wants to make some changes to herself before her punishment is over by the end of the month.
Jordan: We all have to go through this. I'm more worried about my Godfather, he doesn't seem to be okay with being placed as second in command after he didn't do his job right. That FutureTech guys really hates Lisa.
Lincoln: If I can recall what Hero Linc said, Martin defies their Lisa for her reckless experiments and heartless forms of studies. Which might be the one thing he sees in the Lisa of our world.
Jordan: We have a lot to talk to them when they come here to hang out don't we?
Lincoln: We do and maybe we can get them to make things right, but who knows when we can see our hero selves again. They might be busy so we have to try and get through this. On the plus side, we got some cool Star Wars stuff coming, so that's nice.
Jordan: Gotta love those Droidekas and whatever else is coming. Well, it's getting late now, see you in the morning Linc.
Lincoln: Goodnight Jordan Rosato, I love you my darling beautiful dodge ball queen.
Jordan: And a goodnight to you Lincoln Lou, I love you too my charming handsome dodge ball king.
Lincoln and Jordan hang up at the same time and they both lay down and look onto the ceiling. They both don't know what else is coming for them as August starts tomorrow, but they know they can all get through it. They hope.
(Royal Woods Airport.)
A woman with blonde hair and at her 20's comes out of the place and she has five bags with her. She's wearing a white tank top, dark blue short sleeved jacket, black jeans and red shoes like Lori's and she looks around. 'Hello Royal Woods. Jessica Carson has arrived, I wonder how Lincoln and his family and friends are doing.'
She then hails a cab and gets ready to look for her friends from Aloha Beach Resort and Hotel, and the place she'll be staying at.
A/N: Big and dangerous changes are no upon them and someone has come to say hello and have some summer fun with them. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
