Chapter 393.
(The Loud House.)
The house is, not that empty. Sure the pets are there, but also there is Michelle Lewis along with Lincoln and Luna. Why are Lincoln and Luna staying home? They are still pretty banged up after what transpired with their run-in and fight with Chandler and his new friends Troy and Jade.
Lincoln has lots of bruises on him and his right arm is sore, but will heal soon. Luna has some bruises as well, she has bandage wrappings and stitches onto her left leg and right arm.
As for Michelle Lewis? Well, she's kinda not feeling like her usual self. Sure she's still doing work around the house, but every once in a while she stops and sits down and thinks about what happened and feels uneasy and this nearly results in her in tears.
They're hurt badly, and slightly scarred, but they have to hold their own if they wanna get through the day.
Lincoln comes down the stairs and he sees Michelle on the couch and she had just finished folding all the clothes and she just looks to her phone and the time. Lincoln knows she's sort of in torment and slight pain and so he sits next to her.
"Michelle, you feeling alright?"
Michelle looks to Lincoln and she puts her phone down and holds him close to her in a hug. Lincoln hugs her back, he feels bad for what she went through, then Luna comes in and she hugs both of them. She may be sore, but she can still walk around and interact with the others.
Luna then speaks up. "We're all hurting, and even though some of us have healed from what happened. We're not down, we know one of us is kinda not feeling groovy after what happened."
Michelle then breaks away from the hug. "That kid….. He just, he was so….. I don't even know anymore." She holds onto her sides and she lets some tears fall.
Lincoln and Luna place their hands on her back to reassure her. "Michelle, calm down. What happened is gone now and it won't happen again" said Lincoln. "You're safe now, we're all here and no one is gonna hurt or even do any harm to us again."
Michelle looks to the two louds. "But it could happen again guys, there are so many other enemies who will come back and harm us and do more than just hurt. I was a victim to something dark and cruel and….. And I didn't know what else to do."
"Yeah, it is true" replied Luna. "No matter how many times we take down our enemies and send them back, they always find a way to come back and hurt us even more. But what happened to us, it'll only make us feel stronger and do better next time."
Michelle can see just how strong and courageous these two can be, even in the face of death. 'And I thought it was LJ who was tough, but I guess these two beat her to it.'
Michelle then sighs. "Well, thanks for the words guys, and I guess you're right. We can make learn from past mistakes and make the better with them by becoming stronger, which explains why Peter Harris gave me this."
She places a revolver on the table alongside a taser and this shocks Lincoln and Luna.
"Whoa, what?" said Luna. "That' an actual gun dude!"
Michelle nods. "Yeah, I know. He wants me to keep this, to defend myself. I mean, Lincoln has his bat, Jordan has her baton that can become a shield and Luna….. Well, you have the make shift toy gun that can shoot darts and I am so sorry it broke."
Luna just smiles to her friends. "No need to be worried dude, good old Protector will be back in action soon enough, I just gotta wait for Peter Harris to come back with the new Protector and he said he's gonna make her better than she was before."
"The gun though." Luna looks to the revolver. "This is kinda sick and pretty scary too. But this seem necessary and something I always wanted to carry too. I mean, I didn't wanna carry something like this back then, but to the fact I gotta keep Lincoln safe, now I want one. But I know I might not be ready for it."
"I doubt I can even handle a gun, it could be unnerving to me" replied Lincoln nervously. "Unlike my hero version who carries a powerful kind of gun."
Michelle and the two louds chuckle. "Well, thanks for being here to show me I can't be scared, I should bring these clothes upstairs now." She gets up and grabs Leni and Luan's folder clothes.
Luna and Lincoln grab some folded clothes as well. "Let us help you Michelle. You look like you could use it, also Lunes and I finish our studying" replied Lincoln.
Michelle smiles. "Thanks guys." They then walk upstairs with the folded clothes, and place them into their respective drawers.
Michelle does notice something in Leni and Luan's room and she grabs it and sees an old boxing glove and a note on it saying. "For emergences only." Michelle then recalls something, something when Leslie and her friends came to mess with Lincoln and Jordan.
'So, Luan has her own weapon. Wow! Did not expect her to carry one, but it makes sense she would use her pranks for another purpose and a pretty darn good one too.' She then places the boxing gloves back under the bed and she also sees it's broken off from the jack-in-the=box and so she grabs both of them and decides to fix them right there in the room.
(Later.)
Lincoln and Luna are in the living room with the pets and Bullet, Artemis and Freya and they're watching some TV. Then they hear a knock on the door. "That must be Peter." Luna gets up and she opens the door and sees it is the man.
"Hey kid, I got the weapon and she is all patched up. You wanna give her a test run?" asked Peter. He has a briefcase with him and the name "Protector" on it.
Luna smiles. "Well, I sure would wanna know how she handles. Let's do it dude!" She then looks to Lincoln. "You wanna come and see what this thing can do little brother?"
Lincoln gets up and smiles. "The heck I do sis!" They then head to the backyard, the pets and eagles also tag along. They wanna see how powerful Luna's new weapon is.
(At the backyard.)
They set everything up, a long wooden board with ten tin cans on top and marked with faces of those who are they're enemies. "Alright so we got the whole thing setup" replied Peter Harris. He then goes over to the kids and he sees them looking into the briefcase and the weapon within. "So, what do you think Luna?"
Th Shotgun is gone. Now her weapon looks like a weapon from World War 2. A modified standard issue FG 42, an automatic rifle with high damage rate and modest fire rate. But even though it does look like a heavy gun to use for battle, this thing does not shoot bullets.
The ammo is the same as Luna's old ranged weapon, it can fire out darts and not just in a sniper mode which has been installed, but it can now shoot darts with such speed and there are some add-ons to it as well, to make it more improved and perform for tough situations.
It has a grip so she can get the recoil under control, a quick draw which can help her handle shooting and handle more than one enemy in the fight. It has a sniper scope and can switch to rapid fire, to normal sniper rate fire. The weapon also comes with a bipod for when she needs to ambush enemies with her dart rounds.
The weapon can now hold up to 60 rounds and an extra magazine of darts with 60 more rounds. For emergencies, or when things are complicated, she might be able to attach a bayonet to the front, which could be dangerous, but for Luna it is necessary to take down or at least make the enemy get hurt or to just incapacitate them.
The gun is colored in violet and black and she sees the ammo he has. Each dart has been designed by FutureTech. A dart that can make foes sleep, a dart that explodes with itching powder, a dart that blows up on contact like a flash bang, a dart that makes a small area of ice to freeze the feet of their enemies and a dart that can make the enemies muscles sleepy and sluggish.
There's also a dart that can explode into spicy powder, a dart that feels like the force of a bullet but it's not a bullet, a dart that can stick to the enemy like a tracker, a dart that can make an electric shock, a dart that can make a blinding smoke, a dart that can make loud noise when it detonates, a dart that ignites into fire and a special dart that is for when they need to call down an airstrike? Wait what?
Luna and Lincoln are shocked out of their minds from this. "Dude. This seems kinda overkill, but pretty cool and all so necessary." She then picks up the new protector. "Wow! She is heavy dude!"
Peter Harris chuckles. "That's because she's salvaged from a World War 2 FG 42, I couldn't be able to fix your old weapon, but if you look closely to this one. Some of the parts have the wooden handling of the old gun you had, so that a part of her can still fight on, in a new form."
"Kinda like when we took the flag from Mr. Grouses Go-Kart, and added it to Lana's Go-Kart" replied Lincoln.
"Sure is." Mr. Grouse goes over and sees them. "Now come on kid, I wanna see what that gun can do and how good you are with it. She sure is big and heavy and I've seen guns like those in museums and at auctions and in pawnshops, and from my old friend's house."
Luna then looks to the targets and she sees the bipod. "Let me try this first." She then gets onto the ground and goes prone, she has the gun loaded with pellets.
"Remember kid, keep her steady and do not let her fight you. Cooperate and stay in sync and you can become the master of the weapon" replied Peter Harris.
"You got this Luna!" cheered Lincoln. All the pets and eagles stand back for what is to come.
Luna takes a deep breathe, she then looks to the targets and with one hold of the trigger she goes rapid fire and takes down all ten cans with ease, she then stops and they go over and look to the cans. She fired 10 rounds per second, and she only used up 55b rounds from the gun.
"Wow! Nice, and on your first try too. But that was going prone, time to see what you can do in sniper mode" replied Peter Harris. He sets up the cans once more and then ha backs off.
Luna gets up and she holds the gun near her face and she looks to the targets, she then takes a deep breath and she makes sure the recoil does not hurt her. To her everything seemed to be slow and so she shot the first can then shot the next and the next and the next and she took down all ten cans with each shot.
She then stops and looks to the cans. "Wow. Nice, how was that dude?"
Peter Harris drops his phone. "Wow. That was pretty good, at this point I might as well just get you an actual gun and let you shred it like a boss. That was impressive."
Lincoln hugs Luna. "That was so cool Luna, the way you shot those rounds made you look like a pro! The others are so gonna stoked when they see this, I wanna know what Jordan and the family feels when they hear about the new weapon."
Luna chuckles and she hugs him back. "Thanks bro, I guess after all the fights I have been through, I must've gotten some kinda skill with ranged stuff and carrying heavy things, because this gun is as heavy as my amps."
She then tosses it to Bullet and he manages to catch and carry it and he places the gun back into the briefcase. Looks like all his time catching big fish has made him strong as well.
Michelle Lewis then comes out of the house with a tray of sandwiches and soda. "Here you guys are, and I saw everything. You were pretty good back there Lunes, and I know enemies won't mess with you once they see that big gun."
"Thanks." Luna and the others grab something to eat and drink. Michelle then looks to Peter and she hugs him, he hugs her back to comfort her.
He knows she's still kinda upset after what had happened. They did make love once, but what that kid Troy Barbrow was gonna do was not love and was more sick than anything kind. Peter Harris knows she's gonna need comfort and that comfort is from friends and loved ones, the one thing he questions. 'What about her family? The Lewis Family.'
Lincoln and Luna also join in the hug, they felt bad for her. Michelle has been through some stuff that nearly happened to Jordan and the others, but Michelle was a near and horrid attempt and it scared her. She'll need time to heal.
Then Peter Harris realizes. 'With that asshole Chandler locked up someplace far and with the Barbrow siblings also locked elsewhere. It's only a matter of time before the whole god damn family gets involved. We gotta be ready for them and I'll tell them all they need when the time is right, but not now, not yet.'
(Somewhere outside of Georgia.)
A kid with light tan skin, blonde hair in the form of a pompadour and glasses. He's wearing a red and green hoodie and blue jeans and red and white sneakers and he's riding on a self-sustaining scooter.
This kid's name: Ryan Miller. Son of Jeff and Carly Miller and currently the former associate to the organization known as S.U.S.P.E.N.S.E.
What is this kid doing here without his parents? What is a 13 year old boy doing going on the road on his own? Well, he left them.
Ryan then looks to the sky. "No cloud in the sky and my ride is moving as good as she was made, and at good speed too. How long do I have before I even reach Royal Woods Michigan?"
He then looks to his phone, he made sure his parents won't track him and he looks to the image of his mom and dad and is saddened by this. "Mom, dad. I'm sorry, but I can't do this anymore. I can't just continue working for an organization that is evil, because I see now the mistakes of siding with S.U.S.P.E.N.S.E."
He then sees the selfie of himself, with the girl he fell in love with. "Gretchen, my dear I promise I will come back and I will show you just how much changed I am! That I am not the same kid who hates cherries." He then grabs a bag of cherries and eats them. "Turns out, my parents lied to me, I am not allergic to cherries and these aren't half bad either."
He then sees the image of himself with Lincoln and they're friends and all of them enjoying some fun time at Rusty's birthday at Spunk E. Pigeons. 'Guys, I'm sorry for what I did and I hope you all won't hate me for my actions. But this time, I wanna come clean and live a normal life as all of you.'
'Even if it means that I have to expose the wretched organization I sided with. Mom, dad, forgive me.'
He then continues hos moderate speed drive to Royal Woods. He does bypass the sign of Georgie, he is now away from his old home and is on the long road back to Royal Woods.
(Somewhere in Georgia.)
Carly Miller comes into her son's room and she sees her son in bed and she goes over and she has a plate with a sandwich. "Ryan, I know you're still feeling upset after what had happened between you and Gretchen last month and I wanna do something to make you happy. If you just let me and you're dad help you."
But she gets no response. "Ryan?" She thinks he's silent because he's asleep, because she can hear snoring. "Very well then." She gets up with the plate and she looks back to her son. "I love you Ryan and I hope one day we can go back and perhaps… perhaps live a normal life, just not now." She then walks out the room.
She did not know it was not Ryan under the blanket, it was actually a robot of himself that is programmed to sound like him asleep and in the hands of this robot is a note.
"Dear mom and dad. If you guys are reading this, then it means that I am long gone by now and my robot creation has malfunctioned and possibly blew a circuit which created a powerful EMP to get me more than just an hour head start. I can't be part if this anymore, I don't wanna work for S.U.S.P.E.N.S.E. anymore, it's too much pain to go through with what I had to do."
"I had to betray my friends, I betrayed them of the trust and friendship they gave to me and I made them fools to not see what we were trying to do and now that I see it, the plan to get rid of cherries and all fruits is downright insane and stupid and I want no part of it anymore! I don't wanna be this little kid who's done so much wrong and get into trouble alongside his parents who are also villainous spies."
"I'm done with what you and the organization does and I found out that you two lied to me! I am not allergic to cherries and I tried them and guess what? They're not that bad! There's no home for me here to even be given a normal life, when we keep running from the law and committing a horrible crime. I can't do this anymore and I'm sorry."
"Wherever I am, and whatever I am doing. I'm doing this for my won good and I wanna live the life I want and need, and that life is to be normal and with the girl of my dreams by my side. The sweet girl who was once mean, Gretchen Warwick and all of the friends I made back in Royal Woods. I know you two will come after me and I know I can't stop you, but I am not gonna come back should you come."
"So go ahead and come and get me, but I will not be part of the fake family we have. Goodbye Carly and Jeff Miller, from you're son: Ryan. P.S – Chances my last name will be changed should I be part of another family."
His robot begins to spark and its eyes are now glowing. "E.M.P detonation commencing in T-Minus 30 Seconds."
To be continued…..
A/N: Luna has herself a whole new weapon and Michelle needs some time to heal after what she almost went through and it seems like someone is coming back to Royal Woods! Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
Thank you Vasmasdas1 for the idea on the return of Ryan Miller, well he won't be a Miller for long.
