Chapter 518.
"The truth of the new threat."
(The Loud House.)
March 15 and spring break is still upon Royal Woods, and now the boy who was part of this year's Bald Eagle contest is up and ready for what the rest of the week has for him.
Lincoln walks out of his room and goes down the stairs, and there he sees the rest of his family in the dining room and all of them eating breakfast. "Good morning everyone."
"Good morning Lincoln." They all greeted, then Lynn hands him a bowl of cereal. "Hey bro, looking up and ready for today. Also, even though you didn't win…."
Lincoln chuckles. "We at least gave it our all and showed everyone that we still got it. I think letting someone a changed and good-willed as Ryan Rosato is the perfect start up for his life here in Royal Woods, he pretty much did good with the tricks he aced with Harrier and they both deserve the glory."
"Spoken like a true to good sportsman ship competitor" said Lana. "Is that how they say it guys?"
"You still did good days ago and even though you didn't win the single match, you and Jordan still won the tag team contest" said Leni. "That still counts as something."
"Which proves that even not alone, you can still do well with a partner and show everyone that you two are stronger together, team work benefits and helps" said Lori. "Which is kinda the same in golf, we would have to try and tag team to see which one of us is able to compete and win for the university."
Lincoln sits between Luna and Luan. "Thanks girls and I know Jordan is feeling happy with what we did and feeling proud of her bro for winning the singles contest. But, the real glory and win goes to those who actually did the tricks, we just helped them improve and told them how they can manage."
"And yet they seemed to manage to make the tricks better on their own" said Luan. "They did seem trickier than they were training, all months past."
Lisa then looks to Lincoln. "Now, the real issue is that boy you faced, the one named Jake. I did some research and found out what he has been doing."
This concerned them and to be sure, Lincoln was ready to listen closely on who this guy is and what he did. "So, what's the dirt on this Jake and his cheating methods?" asked Lola.
Lisa then tells them. "Now, his full name which some of you have known is Jack Dilington Heron and he is easily recognized from the 69 number on his clothing as if he respects that certain number to a form of superior magnitude when it technically accomplishes nothing in…"
"Lisa honey, you're off topic" said Rita.
Lisa then clears her voice. "Right, right. Sorry about that, now as I found out and same with the Allied outpost, Jack Dilington Heron lives somewhere in the state of Nevada and has been known to be the winning type and also the criticizing type."
"Whenever he tries to succeed, he does so with the ability to incite some form of manipulation to make the rivals feel beneath and pathetic and to the point where they can fel that they can no longer win or keep going with what they do, he has done so to more than 600 people."
That was something they did not see coming.
Lisa sees their shocked expressions. "Now, as you should all know that Jack Dilington Heron is a genius to mind and has believed so when he won three contests for three straight days and thus his ego to be better came to fruition and because his father is also part inventor and scientist… Failed inventor to be exact."
"Thus he wishes to be superior to his father and make himself on top and…. Well, be the true man of the house through mind, his mother left the family years after his birth and this he had no guidance and only sought out to accomplish and not to be of the good sportsmanship in any of the science acclaimed competitions."
"After he gained the taste of victory for the past 4 years after the first 3, he continued on and kept the streak of wins in his home town, and this he began to exploit the new goal of going through more countries and thus he attained approximately 69 wins, and made more than 600 people feel defeat and feel remorse and depression that they couldn't succeed in what he could."
Lynn then sees the pattern, and it's too familiar. "69, it's not something he's normally proud of. He had 69 wins and he was gunning for 70!"
Lisa then thinks of this. "That does sound logical, and so he would've believed that going to a new contest would prove he is superior."
"With a robot eagle? That is so wrong" said Lucy. "I wish I could hurt him for what he tried to do."
"Get in line sis, we got dibs on his shin, forehead and his guts" said Lynn.
"Everyone calm down" said Rita. She then looks to Lincoln. "Are you alright, Lincoln?"
Luna also sees the surprised look from her brother/roommate. "Bro? How you feeling?"
Lincoln snaps out of it. "Wow. I did not see this coming." He then looks towards Lisa. "So, no one has beaten him, and that also means he's never ever been disqualified, ever."
Lisa nods. "Indeed, and the old competitors who said they would improve would end up…. gone, as in gone from the world gone."
This shocks them. "What?! How?!" said Leni.
Lisa didn't have to say it, but she should and thank goodness Lily is in her room getting changed by Michelle Lewis. "After the competitors have felt low after the losses to Jack Dilington Heron, he would send them letters and gifts filled with recordings of the humiliating loss, and insulting remarks."
"They would try to brush it off, but the letters and gifts kept coming and thus, the competitors would then commit suicide onto themselves."
That was the knife to the heart to them. "What?!"
Lisa nods. "Indeed, they're bodies were either found washed up on the side of the rivers, at the bottom of cliffs, by the noose or worse, splattered in the middle of the road, and each of the corpses are holding a bag with letters and the gifted recordings of the loss in their contests, he pushed them, all of them."
Lynn Sr overhears this and thankfully he finished cooking and so he passes out.
Lisa then tells them something else. "The recent one was the 68th win Jack Dilington Heron received and this person was named Neil, but he goes by the codename: Heavy55Commando, who has won through good sportsman ship in the remote control car races, but in truth he may not have lost."
"What do you mean?" asked Lana.
"The referees found out that his remote controlled Formula-1 Car was rigged and dismantled from within, and because of the loss, the man tried to pull himself together, but after a mere 6 months of trying to rebuild and compete again, he was mocked that hurt so much, it burned deep into his heart and mind."
"The man's father is a soldier, retired, and this he used what his father had kept and… Pulled the pin, on the grenade, an incendiary grenade. The last remaining memories of the said man is now from surveillance footage black boxes, the garage and house are long gone and all the evidence of the reason as well the blueprints to his remote controlled vehicle toy."
"This said person was also planning to compete in the Robot Combat League, but now he won't and the remaining blueprints of the new tech he would use for competing is lost and gone for good, and he already signed himself up for the tournament."
Lisa then wipes away a tear and Lucy goes over to hug her, the rest of the Louds are all shocked and angered. Lucy is angered. 'Lincoln, so glad he stood tall and didn't mind him.'
"So, he tried to make Linky die?!" said Leni.
Luna stands up. "That's it! If he thinks about coming back here, then he'd better be prepared for us!"
"He is so dead to me!" said Lynn. She then bends the fork. "When I see that kid, I am going to run him over!"
"Let me and Lulu do that one!" said Lola. "And I'll be sure hot tea goes into his eyes too!"
Lincoln then stops this. "Everybody quiet!" They all remain silent and look to the snow-haired boy. "Guys, calm down and chill. Let's be grateful that I wasn't convinced by his cruel acts and because of his cheating ways, he's not gonna be making anyone feel bad anymore."
"I wasn't taunted by him, because I was used to competitions where I'm being mocked that I'm weak, when I know that I am not. Because we are strong in our own way, and he tried to exploit it from us. Myself, along with Jordan, Ryan, Hope and Gretchen stood tall and didn't falter."
"He's not here, we know that and chances he'll do those acts again, but after what he cheated on the Bald Eagle contest, I believe that he's not gonna be a threat anymore and will remain as the one person who won't taunt others into losing their fighting spirits and chances, because his cheating ways shows that he's weak, and way too desperate to win for something he has no clue on how too, which means he is no genius, he is as imperfect as everyone is."
They all calmed down and felt that he was right, Lincoln then looks to Lisa. "The Allied base gonna do something about this?"
Lisa nods. "After the celebration we had the other day, I was contacted to help find information about this preteen, and so allied forces and FBI along with the local CSI of Nevada are going to being an investigation to arrest the heathen for his acts of pushing others to suicide."
"They also seek the aid of Jack Cyber for when they begin to storm the hoodlums home for any other tech he built that would be a serious threat, and the mysterious part is… No word from his father, the only thing they have is that he's working at home, which doesn't sound good at all."
"Which kinda makes him sound like some kind o dangerous criminal or villain" said Lori.
Lincoln sighs. "Well, I hope they do catch him and stop him before he does something evil, or far worse than evil."
That one they all hope so as well.
(Ketcham Park.)
Now at Ketcham Park and only a few of Lincoln's pals are there, not all of them. Richie, Hassan and Chad went on a one week trip with their families, while the rest are there still in town and enjoying the rest of the spring break before classes come back next week.
But, some other friends are there with them: Angel Carson, Mark Warren, Ronnie Anne, Sid, Nikki, Sameer, Casey and Laird.
Lincoln tells them of the threat from the Bald Eagle Contest and what he's been doing, and the whole information is a total shocker and this is something Jenny Mulligan is taking note.
"What the heck?!" said Liam. "That boy has lost it, and has to be dealt with!"
"I don't even know what the heck is his deal!" said Flat Tire.
"Dude, that is cold! Like super-cold! Below cold!" said Lance.
Sid is shocked by this. "Under the South pole cold! Colder than the enclosure to the Polar Bears cold."
"Oh, if he does show himself here. We are so gonna teach that punk a lesson!" said Nikki.
As they all continue to talk and rant about how they should deal with this threat who tried to push the others to suicide, Lincoln thinks hard on this whole ordeal. But then he feels Jordan hold his hand and the smile on her face calms him down. "Thanks."
Jordan nods. "No problem. We were all strong enough not to fall for his mind manipulations and we managed to pull through." they then look to the girl from Tuscola. "And all thanks to Angel, she stopped his ways and found his plots. So, this victory is all thanks to her."
Lincoln smiles and they watch as Angel speaks with the others about this guy and his threats to kill others on their own terms. "Yeah, because of her, now other folks can compete without the worry of Jack Dilington Heron, no more bodies to find dead on their own terms."
But deep down, they all fear that this new threat will come back, after all… He did lose, and he did swore he would be back, for vengeance. But on who though?
To be continued…
A/N: Well, well. Looks like now they know the truth about the boy from the contest and what he has done, and if he does come back, will it be the first time he come to Royal Woods, or shall it be his last time as well? Because a threat like that, is a murderous intent that must be snuffed out…. Once and for all. Leave a review and tell me what you all need.
Date made: 3/2/21 – 3/3/21.
