I don't own any of this Loud House belongs to Nickelodeon.

After letting out much of her pent up frustration, Lola wandered down the end of her driveway to the desolate street. The tear marks on her face were still freshly wet as well as the mascara that had mixed in with the tears.

As she stood on the sidewalk, it disturbed her how desolate and quiet it was, the only sound came from the wind that breezed through the street with no care in the world. Looking around the neighborhood Lola couldn't help but compare it to a neighborhood after being hit by a F5 tornado.

Lola walked down the sidewalk, she looked around at everything that was once a peaceful neighborhood that is now destroyed in less than a day. It made her mind process on the sudden change very slowly before she slowly accepted it, but one thing that couldn't leave her mind was where were the other people that habited Royal Woods?

What happened to Flip, Mr. Grouse, Scoots, her teacher from second grade, Pop-Pop, Gran-Gran, the Mcbrides, her and her siblings friends? She even wondered what happened to her arch rival Lindsey Sweetwater?

Did they survive? Are they in shelters like her family? Or were they killed in the events fallowing the impact? Lola just didn't know, and that scared her as some of those people like Pop-Pop and Gran-Gran, she deeply cared for them and if they were killed. Then she honestly wouldn't know what would happen to her already weaken mental state.

The sound of birds startles her out of her mind. Looking around she found herself at the intersection, where she can see a pile of cars in the middle. Lola also saw a flock of crows flying around on the other side of the pileup, squawking away in excitement.

Curious on what those birds were doing, Lola walked over to the bumper of a red car and peeked out from the corner, which she she quickly regretted.

What she saw was a body of what she guessed was a beardy man in his thirties, lying on his back with the crows feasting on him. The crows were on his belly, poking into his stomach where they pulled off strips of meat, eating it in a couple swallows before going back for more.

Now Lola has seen some gruesome things before, after all growing up with a sister like Lucy, it was inevitable to see some very gruesome things. The difference however is that the ones Lucy had were fake and the ones in the crows mouths were very real. There's also the disturbing part of seeing a animal eating a human that's just naturally unsettling.

Lola looked away from the sight, she could feel her stomach bowels began rise up, not being able to hold it in, Lola throws up onto the cracked street. The noise she had made frighten the crows who erupted up into the sky, where they will circle until they deemed that it was safe enough to land back to their meal.

The puke left a foul taste in her mouth, but that wasn't the only foul thing Lola sensed. Her nose has picked up the carcasses stench as well as the smell of burning. Not being able to take the awful stench Lola dashes away from the intersection, she ran until she stopped at the ruins of Flip's Food and Fuel.

Panting from the run, the images of the corpse filled her mind along with the crows with pieces of meat in their beaks. Lola shook her head to get that image out of her mind, it did leave her vision, but the image is firmly planted within her mind.

Lola turned to look at the ruins of Flip's, as maybe that would make her think of something else. Looking at it she guessed that the fuel inside the tanks ignited from the intense heat, due to the black burned marks where the gas tanks used to be.

The roof of the building collapsed, the windows were blown out, the front door is hanging by it's top bolt, from the inside the aisles shelves were crushed under the remains of the ceiling with their contents spilled all over the floor.

Seeing the destroyed Food and Fuel did help a little bit, but not by much for that image of the corpse is still there much to her dismay. Perhaps she should be heading back to the shelter as her family is surely going to be waking up soon.

Lola began to walk her way back in which she came from, that was when she heard a low growling coming from her right. Slowly turning her head in fright, Lola saw a doberman standing by the knocked over fence that used to separate Flip's and a yellow house.

The doberman had the back of his fur up, muzzle wrinkled out showing his sharp teeth. Lola instantly grew fearful as he looked very angry, Lola very slowly raises her arms up. "Nice doggy, sit!" The doberman responds with another low growl, which was shortly fallowed by another low growl.

Turning around Lola saw a saint bernard which stood in the doorway of Flip's, like the doberman his teeth were also showing. The saint bernard kinda scared her more than the doberman, as the saint bernard reminded her of that book that had the saint bernard who got infected by rabies, and trapped a mother with her son in their car.

This one didn't look like it had rabies, but it was still growling at her aggressively along with the doberman. Three more dogs consisting of german shepherds emerge into view, all growing aggressively as they stared at the young girl in front of them.

The raising panic in Lola grew as she realized that they were surrounding her. The clicking of footed pads rushes towards her, Lola ducked out of instinct just in the nick of time as the doberman jumped over her, snapping his jaws just inches away from where her head just was.

The doberman lands and tumbles a few feet before quickly getting back up. Lola runs away from the dogs, screaming loudly with the dogs giving chase, barking aggressively and hungry.

Lincoln awoken from his slumber along with the rest of his family, like Lola he found that the cold, concrete floor wasn't exactly the most comfortable thing to sleep on, though he suppose that it was better than sleeping on the benches with them imprinting on the skin if you sit on them for a period of time.

Sleeping on his stomach, he slowly rose himself up to a sitting position, the bones in his arms snapping as they stretched outwards.

Looking over to the others, Lincoln watched as they got up in various different ways: Lucy rose up like a vampire, mom and dad who slept together helped each other up, and Lana getting up like a cat.

Lynn who is already up on her feet and doing her usual morning stretches, lets out a loud yawn. "Well time for another boring day of doing nothing." She exclaimed in a deep voice that came from the still ongoing yawn.

"Maybe we can play a game to pass the time." Luan suggested.

"Like what dude?" Luna asked.

"How about duck, duck, goose." Lana suggested.

"That could be nice." Rita exclaimed. "But lets have some breakfast first."

Lynn Sr. went and grabbed some cans of fruit that were just enough for all of them. Lynn laid the cans down in front of his wife and kids, they went and picked up their chosen fruits, all except Lola.

She must still be asleep or keeping her distance from them due to the fight they had yesterday. "Lola, you can join us if you want." He didn't hear a response, "Lola?"

Looking around Lynn and the others discovered that she was nowhere to be found.

"Where's Lola?" Lana asked with a worried tone heard in her voice. The family scanned the shelter hoping to catch site of their pink wearing sister, Lincoln's gaze falls towards the ladder where he made a shocking discovery. "Um, guys."

The family turned to him, they watch as he pointed is finger up towards the ladder. "I think, I know where Lola went."

The family looked up and gasped in shock for right there above the ladder is the open hatch leading to the outside world.

"You don't think?" Luan started.

"Well given the argument we had yesterday, I say most likely that Lola did." Lisa exclaimed knowingly.

Like Lola before them, the family were shocked to see the state that their house and yard is in. It was a massive blow for save of the personal stuff they brought with them, everything that held a precious memory to their lives in that house is gone, most likely burn to a crisp.

Now they stood around what was left of their backyard, screaming Lola's name, their calls echoing through the destroyed neighborhood, but received no response which really worried them for where could Lola be? Was she alright?

"Oh gosh, where could our little girl be?" Lynn Sr. said in worry, he felt really guilty as he thought that it was his fault that Lola had left. Maybe he was too harsh with her yesterday.

Rita places a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry Lynn, I'm sure she's here somewhere." She reassuredly said.

"But where?"

"Maybe we can ask those guys." Leni spoke up.

"What guys Leni?" Lincoln asked.

"Those guys that are walking up to us." Leni replied with a smile.

Looking in where Leni was looking at, the Loud family saw two figures in grey hoodies jump over the mangled up fence, they utterly jumped in surprise as the figures land on their side of the fence a few feet away from them.

The figures were about the same height as Luna, they looked beefy judging by size of their arms, and had their heads down concealing their faces. The family were definitely taken by surprise as they didn't expect to run into anyone else so soon.

Stepping in front of his family, Lynn Sr. cleared his throat to address these mysterious figures. "Hello there. Um, it's glad to run into living people in this apocalypse. Um, perhaps you can help us? You see one of my daughters had ran off, and I was wondering if you perhaps seen her?"

The two figures let out a dumb laugh, which sounded familiar to Lincoln.

"You hear that bro? They lost their princess." One of the figures addressed.

"Yeah bro! Too bad, so sad!" The other figure replied before going into another fit of laughter.

Lincoln's eyes now widened, now he remembered where he heard those big, dumb laughs before. "Oh no, not them! Please anyone but them!" He utterly groaned.

The figures lifted up their heads revealing their faces, and much to Lincoln's, Lynn's, and the other sisters dismay. The figures turned out to be Hank and Hawk; the two bullies that ruined their Halloween and sprang Lynn's ankle when she filled in for Lincoln when their mother signed him up for football.

Out of all the people they could've ran into, it had to be these jerks. It seemed like the universe was just torturing them now.

"Great you two bozo's survived." Lynn stated with clear annoyance.

Hawk gave her a nasty smirk. "Sure did ponytail!" Hank points to her ankle and said in a mocking time. "Look bro! The rooster is back on her feet!" The two go into another fit of laughter that really irritated Lynn.

Lisa however had a look of bewilderment. "Was that suppose to be funny?"

"Why couldn't you guys burn up in the heat." Lynn growled.

"Lynn!" Rita scowled for she did not like that comment that Lynn had made. Lynn however shrugged nonchalantly, "What? Those are the same jerks that sprang my ankle, and ruined our Halloween."

Rita gasped upon hearing that, now she remembered these boys and with that her maternal instincts kicked in. "Oh yeah, you boys leave! You caused enough trouble for my kids."

"Oh come now honey. Sure we had our differences in the past, but perhaps now considering the circumstances, we should put aside our differences and work together for a better chance of survival."

"Sorry old man! But we got something else in mind." Hawk retorted.

"Which is?" Lincoln asked suspiciously, for he did not like the sound of that.

"We are going to raid your shelter. " Hank replied with a smug smile.

The Louds looked at them in disbelief. "Your kidding right?" Luna asked.

"Oh, we aren't kidding loser." Hank retorted.

"Good one bro!" Hawk said.

"You two probably didn't think this out very clearly, for your clearly outnumbered, plus it doesn't help that you just announced your plan like some supervillain in my older brother's comic." Lisa stated.

"Yeah, you boneheads! You really think we're going to let you steal from us!" Lynn quipped as she placed her hands on her hips.

"You should've learn after the last time you messed with us." Lucy added for she remembered when she and her family scared the crap out of them in her corn maze, after what they did on Halloween.

The two bullies still kept up the smug smiles on their faces. "Who says we're alone." Hank mockingly replied.

A gunshot suddenly rang out, Lynn Sr. let out a scream of aboslute pain as something shot through the bottom part of his right leg. He fell to the ground with a thump, and with no grass to cushion his fall, he fell quite hard stirring up dust from the impact.

"Dad, Lynn!" His kids and wife rush over to him, they all helped him sit up straight while voicing their concerns. Lynn looked down to his leg where he saw the dark red stains covering the bottom parts of his pant leg.

The pain was absolutely horrible, he couldn't even move it without it hurting like hell. His kids and wife looked to his wounded leg in horror, they could see the hole where the bullet went through, examining it Lisa theorized that the bullet just missed the bone, her father's leg will heal but it will take time and in this new world, it's uncertain if it's fatal or not.

A man in a dark trench coat, carrying a pistol appeared from Mr. Grouse's side of the flatten fence. Twenty More figures of both male and female rose up from behind the fence where Hank and Hawk came in from, each carrying a weapon which were either rifles or knifes, though one huge guy held a metal baseball bat in his muscular hand.

The ones who had the rifles pointed them at the family. Terrified the Louds rose their arms up, except for Rita who still had her arms around her husband. The man who shot her husband, stormed over to her where he grabbed her by the hair, and forcefully yanked her up to her feet.

"Get your ass up!" He told her in a threatening tone.

"Get your hands off my mom you creep!" Lynn shouted only to have the man point the gun in her direction, which immediately shut Lynn's mouth.

"You keep your mouth shut brat! Or I'll blow your face in!" The family all went silent out of fear, the man along with the rest of these people who now jumped the fence weren't goofing around at all.

The rest of the hooded people kept their distance, guns completely drawn at them. Meanwhile Hank and Hawk smugly smirked at the Louds for after what they did to them last Halloween, they loved every second of this.

A tall man in a black hoodie now jumped over the fence, he looked at the family with a pleasant smile on his face. The man had a bald cut, a slim mustache, wore glasses, and a gold tooth that could be seen as he smiled at the family. When he spoke, it was in a french accent. "My apologies for the sudden appearance my friends."

He glances down to Lynn Sr. who clenches his bleeding leg. "Seems like you've got a nasty injury my friend." He shook his head as if addressing a child like Lana. "That won't do in this time. Nope won't do at all."

Lynn looked at this man with fury in his pain stricken face. "Would've helped if I hadn't gotten shot." He snarked.

The man's smile grew wider. "Oh, I'm terribly sorry about that sir. Diego here has a bit of temper and is how you say tigger happy." Diego rolled his eyes with a annoyed tone as if this was boring to him.

"I'm assuming your the leader of this group?" Lisa questioned.

"Heaven's no, I'm more like a second in command."

"Than who is your leader?" Lincoln asked.

"Afraid that's not any of your business young man." He replied.

"Who are you?" Leni then question.

The man playfully smacked his head, letting out a small laugh. "How rude of me. I should be ashamed of myself for I'm a fair and polite gentleman. "I'm Logan Stanze, but you may call me Mr. Stanze."

"Nice to meet you." Lynn Sr. sarcastically said, Logan ignores the sarcastic tone and just continued to smile. "Now I hope you don't mind, but we're going to raid your rather impressive shelter, and I suggest to stay out of our way and leave or else."

"Or else what?" Leni asked confused.

Logan smiled as he was hoping that one of them would say that. He glances to the shelter where he saw a dog, cat, bird, and hamster peeking out. He points his finger to the four animals, then snapped his fingers.

Without so much of a word Diego turns the gun and fired four rounds, which hit the cat and bird in the heads, while missing the dog as he ducked and the other bullet ricocheted off the hamster's, hamster ball.

The two remaining pets ran out of the shelter, then the yard and into the destroyed neighborhood. Their owners were absolutely struck in shock, from the sudden and uncalled for murder of Cliff and Walt.

"Or else that." Logan coldly said.

Lana took the murder hard, utter rage that would make her twin proud rose inside her. Cliff and Walt didn't do anything wrong, but this guy order this Diego guy to just kill them in cold blood. She viciously turns to him with fire in her eyes. "You monster! Why would you do that!"

Logan paid no mind to Lana's anger. "Relax young lady, you still got two other pets. Honestly I did you a favor, now you don't have any more mouths to feed." He sadistically replied.

Lana would've charged at him if Rita hadn't grabbed both her shoulders.

"Now you folks leave, or I will have no choice but to have my associates turn their weapons on you." Logan said with that smile still on him. Diego along with the other hooded people got their guns ready to fire at them further emphasize the point.

Not having any other choice the Louds walked away from their own backyard, it took some time since Rita had to help her husband walk with them, by having him leaning against her for support.

Hank and Hawk watched them leave with their smirks. "Yeah, that's right! Leave you losers!" Hank mocked.

"And don't come back!" Hawk continued.

The two bullies laughed loudly, but their laughter got swiftly cut off as Logan smack them both upside the heads. "Silence!"

The two instantly did what they were told as it wasn't a good idea to get on Logan's bad side. There was a reason he was second in command of their group, and the last guy who ticked him off found out the hard way on why you shouldn't wear out is patience.

"Now" Logan addressed the rest of the group. "Go in that shelter and let us see what our friends provided for us." Logan's group went into the shelter, Diego went in first kicking away the bodies of Cliff and Walt after he climbed down the ladder and onto the concrete floor.

Logan stood outside the shelter, waiting patiently for his group to gather everything essential inside that shelter. The leader will be pleased when they get back to home base.

Lola had been running down four blocks, she felt exhausted but her brain told her to keep moving. The dogs were in hot pursuit, barking non-stop as they jumped and dodged any obstacles in their way.

Lola turned into a alley, but didn't go far as a large pile of bricks and other rubble blocked her path. "A time to find a dead end!" She stated in between pants.

The growls of the dogs echoed in the alley, quivering Lola slowly looked back at the dogs that slowly approach her, the doberman who took the lead blared his teeth as he inched closer to her.

In pure panic, Lola looked around for anything to use to defend herself, she couldn't find anything though, must to her dismay.

The doberman ran at her, mouth wide open ready to bite. Lola curls into a ball and winces away as she waited for the attack to commence.

"Hey get back!" A voice suddenly called out.

The doberman along with the rest of his pack stopped and looked up to see five figures standing atop of the pile of rubble. One of the figures who looked to be a girl at the age of fourteen, she held a baseball bat in one hand and rocks in the other, the other figures had the same items in their own hands.

"Go on get!" The girl snapped.

The doberman snapped at the figures, growling threatening. A rock hits his back making him cry out in pain, he then ran out of the alley with his pack.

Lola who had been peaking out from her ball was utterly stunned from the unexpected turn of events. The person who saved her jumped down in front of her, she turned to face Lola who looked back up at her in complete surprise.

The girl approaches her, then kneels down to her level, carrying a caring smile. "Are you ok Lola?"

"Margo?"

"The very same. What are you doing out here in this part of town?" Margo asked as she helped the young girl up to her feet.

"I was getting stir crazy in Lisa's fallout shelter, so I decided to go out to see if we can go back to normal." Lola explained.

"Well unfortunately Lola, normal isn't exactly happening right now." Margo stated earning a bit of a pouty face from Lola.

Margo playfully nuggies Lola's hair. "Your lucky we just happen to come across here at the nick of time." Glancing back to the pile of rubble, Lola sees that the other people were the rest of Lynn's roller derby team.

"What were you guys even doing?" Lola asked.

"Oh, we were scrounging around for anything essential for our group." Margo replied.

Lola perked up at that. "Group?"

Margo nods. "Yes, we are part of a group of survivors that have settled in at the middle school. We have power, food, clean water, and of course shelter."

"That sounds like a great place."

"Sure is, you can come and join us if you want." She offered.

"You bet I do!" Lola said in excitement, but then thought of something. "What about the rest of my family?"

Margo smiled brightly. "They can join us to."

"They can?"

"Of course the more the merrier. Besides it would be nice to see Lynn again." Margo stated in glee.

Lola beamed, then ran to the entrance of the alley. "Well what are we waiting for? Lets go get them."

"Alright just hold your horses. We still need to be careful around here." Margo warned.

"What for? Those mangy mutts are probably scared of us by now."

Margo suddenly developed a slight fearful expression. "Oh, it's not the dogs we have to worry about."

"What do you mean?"

Margo shook her head dismissively. "It's not important right now." She and the rest of roller derby team went up to the alley way entrance. "Let's just get your family."

Feeling suspicious on what Margo was hiding from her, Lola began to lead them back towards her house, as they walk she noticed that the girls kept checking around anxiously as if looking out for something or someone.
