Chapter 459.

"The return of Steak Stankco."
- In collaboration with Avenger44.

(January 25. Tall Timbers Creek.)

Located not too far from Ketcham Park. We find Lincoln and his guy friends all talking together. "So, what do we do for the next Guy's hang out?" asked Liam. "Because I could really use one."

Lincoln thinks of something and then he looks to his guy pals. "Well, I'm open to any ideas."

Rusty then has an idea. "I know. We can try and get fit to impress our ladies. Sure as heck I am so gonna try and get myself in good and fit condition, since I can carry a barbell."

Zach then recalls something. "Rusty, when I saw you at the gym. You flaked out from it and that was two weeks ago." the other guys chuckle at this and Rusty turns red with embarrassment.

Liam has an idea of his own. "How about a day at my farm? We can spend a lot of time there and get some good old hard work in our systems."

Chad looks to Flat Tire. "Dude, you've been silent all day. What's with you man?"

Flat Tire then snaps out of it. "What? Huh? Oh, sorry guys. I was just thinking of the date I'm gonna have with Jenny. I wanna try and make it look and feel awesome and also unforgettable."

"You'll think of something man" replied Lincoln. "Just don't stress over it, and go with what you can think of that might be fun for you and….. And…." Lincoln then passes out on the bench.

The guys notice this and go towards him. "Lincoln? Lincoln, dude, what the heck?" said Laurence as he tries to get him to wake up. "What the heck just happened?" Then he too feels sleepy and soon he passes out.

Liam sniffs the air. "Guys, do you smell that? Smells' like something weird and…" Then he gets sleepy and passes out. Followed by Rusty, Zach, Flat Tire, Simon and Chad.

"Guys… Something's… Something's wrong." Clyde also falls asleep onto his side of the bench and leans onto Simon, which makes it look awkward and soon Artie, Lance, Trent, Ryan and Richie pass out.

Darrel looks around. "Someone is….. Here." Then he falls asleep and so does Hassan, but before he did pass out, his high tech wheel chair has been set to sentry mode and a camera records what's going on around him.

The large bush next to them moves and coming out are three teens and wearing gas masks. Steak, Alvin and Kevin. "Oh yeah! The plan worked wickedly man, blow the powder and make em sleep, good call Kevin" said Steak.

"Thanks dude." Kevin and Steak head butt, but Kevin gets dizzy. "Okay, I am not doing that with you again. Ow. Dude, your head is hard, what the heck?"

"Sure wish we went with my plan, then it would've been one snapping good time!" Alvin then chuckles maniacally to the sky, which kinda freaks out Steak and Kevin.

Kevin then whispers to Steak. "You suddenly regret bringing him along?"

Steak is thinking about this. "Nope. We need all the help and Alvin can be useful, even though his ideas are kinda crazy." He then looks to Lincoln. "Now let's leave the note and take this loser."

Alvin has the note and he tapes it to Ryan's forehead. Then he gets a marker and he draws on Rusty and Zach's face and then piled up Artie, Lance, Trent and Chad on top of each other and he has a match. But Kevin and Steak stop him.

"Whoa, whoa there dude. Too far man, and they're not the ones we want dead" said Steak.

"Yeah, we can do some of that after Steak here gets his revenge" said Kevin.

Alvin groans in annoyance. "Aw man. Fine, let's go now. At least I drew on their faces." Kevin grabs Lincoln and they run away from the scene.

Looks like Lincoln chose a bad day to go and hang out without some avian assistance.

(Hours later.)

Clyde is the first to wake up. "Oh man, what the heck happened?" One by one, the rest of the guys wake up from their slumber. Then Clyde looks to Rusty and Zach. "What the heck?"

Rusty and Zach look towards them. "What?" they look like they were given mustaches and have swirls on their cheeks and the word, I'm a dummy on their foreheads. They then look to each other. "Whoa! Someone drew on your face!"

Ryan opens his eyes and looks around. "Why did we all pass out?" Then he realizes. "What the heck is with this note?" He then removes the note and he reads it, and the other guys join in to read it.

"Dear Loser, we have your dumb loser old man hair boyfriend, Lincoln Loser. If you wanna see him, then come to the old boxing gloves factory, and bring an army of girlies with ya, but no cops and no eagles and heck no eagles. Come and get us, this is Steak by the way and my two new pals too, and also bring all the cash your family has, we want that stuff! All of it!"

They all are shocked and wide eyed from this. "Well, this is bad" said Simon. "We should go and get Jordan, and the others. Luna won't like this either."

"This is gonna be one intense beat down" said Darrel. "Wrong move to do it, and just when we all got a big test this Friday too."

"Those boys are gonna be in a world of hurt for what they done did" said Liam. He then looks to Rusty and Zach. "I can't take ya'll seriously with those on yer faces."

Rusty groans. "I hope this stuff is washable." He wipes it off. "Oh wait, never mind." Zach and Rusty use their handkerchiefs and wipe the marker off their face and they go off to tell Jordan and the others.

(The old Boxing Gloves factory,)

Lincoln opens his eyes and he looks around. "Where in the heck?" He then sees he's tied to a chair and the knots are strong. "Oh, well. Here we go again."

He then sees three figures come out of hiding and wielding baseball bats and he knows one of them and is unamused by this. "Steak Stankco? Huh, didn't think it was you. I thought it would be Chandler, or Hank and Hawk or some other enemy of mine who's failed miserably, who are the new goons for hire?"

Steak scoffs. "These two are my buddies, Kevin Fulcher and Crazy Alvin Madman. We're here to…."

"Hang on, hang on there just a minute" interrupted Lincoln. "Is his first name Crazy or is it Alvin?"

They're about to answer, but they don't know how. Steak and Kevin look to Alvin. "Which one is your first name dude?"

Alvin tries to recall. "You know, I don't really remember. Everything is so blurry when I recall my name and I don't think I named myself either." He then holds his head. "Dang. My head hurts from this."

"Forget it guys!" Steak looks towards Lincoln. "We're here to take all the cash your family owns, and then you're gonna be dead and soon this town will be ours, while I take to my dad and bust him outta there!"

"You have no idea how long it took us to get here" said Kevin. "We had to take more than ten flights to get to Michigan and then to Royal Woods."

Lincoln is not threatened by this. "Look, I think you guys may have forgotten the one thing when trying to take me hostage."

"Oh and what might that be?" asked Alvin.

"Whos guarding the door?" asked Lincoln.

They all realize this and turn around to see Jordan and her gal pals, like all of them and Hope and Gretchen brought their Rockruff and Yamper and Delilah has her Stunky and they all look ticked off.

But Jordan, oh hell. Jordan Rosato is an angry volcano seeing this, even though Lincoln is unharmed, no one takes her boyfriend from her. "You idiotic dorks! You have no idea how much trouble you guys are in!"

The three boys have their bats ready. "You don't scare us!" said Kevin. "We're not afraid of you girls. Heck, we even beat up some girls back then, which is why we were sent to juvie! This is gonna be fun!"

Alvin then looks to the animals. "What the heck am I looking at? That skunk looks cool!"

"Stay focused guys, at least there aren't any eagles" said Steak. "Let's get em boys!"

Jordan smirks and she has her arms crossed. "True we didn't bring the eagles, but you didn't say anything about Pokèmon."

Steak and the guys are confused. "Poke-what?"

Then the windows are blasted by a large gust of wind and flying into the warehouse are Apollo and Raptor, the Talonflame and Staraptor mates of Artemis and Freya and they are angry.

The three boys are now afraid at what they see. "Dude! What the heck are those things?!" asked Kevin.

"Those are some big turkeys" said Alvin. "Can we eat them?!" He charges towards Talonflame.

The fire-bird sees this and flies up, he grabs Alvin by his shirt and tosses him to the wall and unleashes a flamethrower which scorches the preteen and he coughs out smoke. "Whoa! Fire turkeys!" He then passes out.

"What the heck?! Birds don't do that!" said Steak. He and Kevin back up and are unaware that Luna snuck around the back and goes towards Lincoln and she unties him.

Kevin looks to Staraptor. "I can take on this bird." He then charges towards the large predatory bird, but Staraptor dodges and grabs his underwear and flies around and this gives him one sick air wedgie and he screams in pain.

Staraptor then tosses him onto the ground and uses a large gust and this sends Kevin to the all and then grabs Kevin and tosses him to Talonflame who tackles the preteen to the wall again and he falls onto Alvin. "Dudes, I give up." Kevin then passes out.

All attention was now on Steak, the boy then puts on some boxing gloves and holds the bat. "Stay back! I have a weapon and gloves and I know how to use these!"

"So do I!" Kevin turns around and is hit in the head by Luna, and she used Lincoln's nailed baseball bat, Protector. "Never take my little bro, again! You jerks!" She then rips off Steak's prosthetic limb and then kicks him to his downed posse. She tosses the fake limb away and checks on Lincoln. "Anything hurt baby bro?"

Lincoln chuckles. "I'm good Luna, thanks for the help."

Jordan goes over to Lincoln and hugs him. "Oh, thank goodness you're alright. I was so worried about you! Are you alright? Anything hurt?"

Lincoln hugs her back. "I'm fine. The only thing they did to me was make me sleep and then tied me up to the chair, no harm done."

The cops arrive and they see the scenario in front of them and they make the arrest to the three preteens who are out cold, though Steak might need some medical attention from getting hit by a vicious baseball bat.

They all walk out of the factory. "Well, that was kinda fast, but at least we took care of them" said Lincoln. "I could only guess they wrote a note and left it for you guys right?"

"They did, but they weren't smart enough" said Jordan.

Luna smirks. "Seriously, those guys didn't even have what it takes and didn't even think the plan through. At least your fine now Linc, that's what matters."

The loud family see Lincoln and all of them race towards him and hug him. They were glad he was safe and sound and glad those stinkers were now getting sent back to juvie for what they did.

The eagles go towards Apollo and Raptor and were thankful for what they did. They were really impressive and proved to be good mates to Artemis and Freya.

Now Patriot doesn't have to doubt them, because he has for some time since he saw them.

To be continued…..
