On the snowy ground, Lincoln and Luna were building a big snowman together, and they added a few finishing touches on the snowman. These two were having fun together, even though Lincoln had to use a crutch so that he could move around more faster than before, and trying to stay off his bad leg. "Nice, very good, Lincoln." Luna said.
"Now we just need the hat and it is finished." said Lincoln.
"Got it right here, dude." The rocker girl pulled out one of Luan's magic hats, the ones that magicians would use to pull the famous and original: "pull the rabbit out of the hat magic trick, and she placed it on top of the snowball. Now it was complete. "Parfait!"
"Yeah, it's perfect." Lincoln agreed. "So what about Luan? What would she say about us using one of her magic hats?"
"Ah, she won't mind. This is the hat she hardly uses in her collection." Luna said. "We'll be fine. We'll give it back to her as soon as spring comes in a few months."
"Gotcha."
Meanwhile, Lisa was still working on the antidote for Lincoln to make use foot hage a full recovery. It appeared that she was getting really close to perfecting this serum or elixir. "Alright, come on science, don't fail me now." she said to herself.
Both Lincoln and Luna went back inside the house and watched the news. It revealed to be the fight between Mason, Sam, and Yakov versus Bones near the power plant that Hairdoom and Living Taser were robbing before. "This just in," said a female reporter, "the Steel Soldier is putting up a good fight against the legendary bounty hunter; Bones Phelps. Yes, it turns out that Steel Soldier us getting the upper hand."
"Wow man, look at that." Luna said.
"Yeah, that Yakov is so awesome fighting Bones like this." Lincoln agreed with her. "I wish I was oger there, if not for my leg."
"I think that you shouldn't fight him again, Linc." Luna said. "He could bruise your other leg."
"Yeah, good point."
It looked like Yakov was getting tbe upper hand in the fight against the mercenary, but by surprise, Bones pulled out a smoke bomb, and threw it on the ground before disappearing like a ghost. "Uh-oh, it looks like the bounty hunter has made a hasty getaway. Rather lame move." The reporter continued.
"Man, we almost got him." Luna said.
"Yeah, I can't believe he got away again." Lincoln concurred. "How can we get him?"
"I have no idea." Suddenly, the sound of a motorcycle revving was heard from outside and the two siblings looked out the window and what they saw made them gasp. It was Bones himself, who was trying to get away from the three Superheroes, and he wss across the house by coincidence.
"Grr, that stupid Soviet guy is stronger than I thought." Bones panted before pulling out his machine gun. Lincoln and Luna can tell that he is not holding back this time, since he had some bruises on himself after all that fighting. "I just need to find, Luna Frost so I can get the one million dollars. That Wernicke gave me quite a hard bargain."
"Wernicke?" The siblings said in unison, obviously hearing what this dirtbag said. "So that giys is behind this?" Luna said, becoming angry.
"I thought we put him in jail?"
"I know. How can that bonehead send a bounty hunter while he is in jail?" The rocker girl growled ajd she decided: "i am going to teach that scumbag a lesson. I'll be right back, bro."
"Luna, wait!" Lincoln tried to stop her, "he's too strong!"
"I have no choice, buddy. He messed with you, he messed with me." She cracked her knuckles before heading outside to settle a score with that mercenary. "Hey! Moron!" Luna insulted him.
The mercenary turned to his right and smiled when he saw his prime target. "Ah, there you are, Luna. About time I found you out here." He pulled out one of his guns and aimed it at her.
"I heard who you were looking for, scumbag!" Luna pointed her right finger. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't give you the worst frostbite ever."
"For one reason," said Bones, "because you don't stsnd a chsnfe against me. Secondly, because I will hurt everyone until I find you. I am in this for the thrill of the hunt, not just the money anymore."
"I'll shoot you to at least stay alive and not move at all."
"Come and get me, dude." Luna readied her arms and hands for when she would blast away at hin with her ice powers. Bones cocked his gun and fired, only for Luna to freeze the bullets with an ice wave from her one hand, and smashed into little pellets of ice after falling on the road.
"Did Wernicke even promise you a million dollars, Bones?"
"Of course he did, kid! He showed me the cheque to prove how real it was! Dead or alive, I'll get my money's worth either way."
"Just try and kill me!" At first, it looked like Bones had the upper hand, but Luna pushed a block of ice at him, some sort of ice wall at him as a projectile, and it made the bounty hunter slide on the slippery, icy sidewalk, and crashing into a bunch of trash cans. The icy hero walked up to Bones with an angry and furious look in her face, and she grabbed Bones by his shirt.
The mercenary was dazed from the impact of the fall, and he couldn't think straight at first. The next thing the bounty hunter remembered was; being punched in the face by Luna many times.
"You almost killed my little bro, tried to hage my friends obliterated, and all for a million dollars! And my brother was a fan of your show!" She continued punching him nonstop that it made his lip bleed, and give him a blackeye. "You are the worst dude I hahe ever met!"
Before she was about to punch him again, Luna felt Bines grab her left arm very tightly. It was so tight that it was starting to hurt her skin, even under her glove. Bones gave her the hardest punch he could delivery and it made Luna crash onto the hood of a car, making her dizzy. Fortunately, she regained her sense and got even more mad.
Before she could do anything else however, she felt her neck being squeezed as she felt Bones strsngle her to death. "That's it." Said Bones. "I have had it with this. I ak going to literally break your neck!"
Sounds of a machine gun firing were heard and it revealed to be Yakov with his AK-47 assault rifle, hitting Bones near his spine, and making him yell in pain. Mason and Sam were also with their friend. "Get away from our comrade." Yakov flatly said before lowering his gun. It looked like Bones was dead, but he still had some breath in him.
Luna knelt down her right knee, and sternly, she asked: "how did Wernicke pay you to try and capture or kill me? Time's running out, dirtbag."
"Alright! Alright!" Bones grunted. "He had an assistant named Klaus and he is staying at the Michigan View hotel just a few miles southeast of where we are. That's all I know!" It wss just then the police csme and took custody of Bones, placing him under arrest.
"Luna! What happened?" Duncan asked.
"We figured out who sent Bones to kill or capture me." Luna exclaimed.
"It was Wernicke!" Lincoln exclaimed as he was coming out of the house while he had his crutch with him. "We heard the whole thing."
"Wernicke?" Duncan said in disbelief. "He's locked up in DC. How can he send a bounty hunter on you guys while he is rottin' in jail like a jailbird?"
Luna then told the chief of police the whole story and tbe information the meecenary gave her before the cops took him away. "Klaus is staying at the Michigan View Hotel."
"Good. I know exactly where he is. We'll make sure that Klaus is behind bars, and that he regrets everything he did with his boss."
"Parfait." Mason said. "Just be careful. We probably know how sneaky and crafty Wernicke is."
"A very good point, Color Fire." Duncan agreed. "Men! We're going to tbe Michigan View Hotel right now. We got a slimy snake to catch." The police went off and tracked down Klaus and find out about his scheme.
"Is everything alright, Luna?" asked Sam
"Yeah. We're just fine." Lincoln said. "I'm a little surprised at how Wernicke hired an assassin to get Luna, even though he is jn jail."
"Totally." Mason said
"Surprising indeed, comrades. But I am sure that when they find out abiut this, Wernicke will probably get a double sentence in his life."
"More like a death sentence." Lincoln said.
"Yeah, Wernicke sounds too dangerous to be kept alive." Sam added.
