(It had been a few days after the Bill Cipher incident. Although Lincoln Loud was freed from his possession, he has been unconscious for a couple of days. Because he wasn't fed or able to sleep due to being trapped inside his mindscape thanks to Bill, his condition made him unable to have much energy for the past few days. Lincoln's family was worried about him, and even though they were grateful to get their boy back, they still felt guilty of what they have done to him over the years, blaming themselves for what Bill had done. Rita and Lynn Loud Sr took a few days off from work to take care of their son. The other siblings got excused from their schools since the Henchmaniacs destroyed them along with parts of Royal Woods. Ronnie Anne felt a lot worried about her boyfriend, and she tried to comfort him the best she can, but it was no use. Lincoln himself woke up from his coma, but he still felt very guilty for making the deal with Bill in the first place. Lincoln would usually stay away from his family by locking himself in his room, shedding tears in his bed while holding the remains of his stuffed toy, Bun Bun.)
Lincoln: This is all my fault… These past few d-days have been a disaster…
(Suddenly, some knocking was heard form his door. Lincoln hid under his blanket)
Lincoln: Go away!
Ronnie Anne: It's me, Lincoln.
Lincoln: F-fine. Go right in, Ronnie.
(Ronnie Anne opens the door and enters his room. She then looks down to see Lincoln's room as a mess, since Bill destroyed it with Lincoln's body)
Ronnie Anne: Whoa. What a mess. (turns to Lincoln shivering under a blanket and sits on his bed with him) Hey, Lincoln, you feeling alright?
Lincoln: It's not what you think! It was—
Ronnie Anne: Bill. I know.
(Lincoln peeks up from his blanket)
Lincoln: How did you know?
Ronnie Anne: We had to save you when we found out Bill took over your body.
(Lincoln looks down in depression and sighs as he holds the cheek that has a cut on it since Bill used a knife on it.)
Ronnie Anne: Look, Lame-o. Just because you let a demon fool you into stealing your body that caused harm around Royal Woods, it doesn't mean that it's your fault. You just ended being tormented by your sisters, and with the amount of anger you burst out made you decide to accept Bill's "offer".
(Lincoln didn't reply, he only stared at Ronnie Anne.)
Ronnie Anne: Lincoln. Please. Stop separating yourself from us. We want you to be with us again now that you are back.
(Lincoln sighs and turns to Ronnie Anne)
Lincoln: It's not just that, Ronnie Anne. There's more stuff that I feel guilty about.
Ronnie Anne: What are you talking about?
Lincoln: It's about the fact that I keep screwing up around my family. There was the times I kept clogging the toilet, ended up angering Lori for breaking into her room, making a fool of myself for the sweet spot in Vanzilla, ruining dinner for my family, the Sister Fight Protocol incident, lied to my family about me being bad luck, almost got Leni killed attempting to get her license, and other stuff like that! And to make matters worse, Bill managed to anger a lot of people in my body. Not to mention the amount of disasters that happened around Royal Woods, especially at school. Weirdmaggedon is still a thing around here all because of me. Lola was right about me. I am just a mistake. I don't deserve to be a Loud. (He tears up)
Ronnie Anne: Lincoln! Don't you dare say that! You're not a mistake! You're a good kid! Lola even apologized to you about that insult! Not only that, but the people that Bill got mad at you, we explained that something went wrong with you, and they understood. We still need to deal with some of his brainwashed slaves since Weirdmaggedon is still a thing around here.
(Lincoln gets out of blanket and lies down on his bed, looking at the ceiling)
Lincoln: I can see that. But do you want to know why I'm still depressed?
Ronnie Anne: What?
Lincoln: It's Bill. Even though he is no longer in my body, I still have nightmares about him.
Ronnie Anne: Ouch… That bad?
Lincoln: It's even worse than I imagined it. It's… well… (he tries to relive it, but it became too painful for him to remember) Ow!
Ronnie Anne: Lincoln! (goes up to hug him)
Lincoln: Listen, Ronnie Anne. You might want to go home. I'm not feeling well myself these days…
Ronnie Anne: If you can't tell me the nightmares about Bill, can I at least still talk to you?
(Lincoln nods with tears coming out of his eyes as he stuffed his face on a pillow, resuming his crying)
(Ronnie Anne hugs Lincoln tight and kisses him on the cheek before she leaves his room. Out in the living room was the Loud Family, Clyde, Grunkle Stan, and Ford. Ronnie Anne shook her head in sadness.)
Stan: He didn't reveal you about the nightmares?
Ronnie Anne: Nope.
(Everyone sighed in defeat. Stan and Ford left to get some stuff that might cheer Lincoln up. Stan considered stealing from the Royal Woods mall since it was abandoned when Bill struck, but Ford gave him an icy stare that now was not the time to fool around. Lori received a bunch of texts from her boyfriend Bobby asking what happened and if Lincoln is alright. Luan stopped making jokes due to her feeling ashamed for what she did to Lincoln in April Fools. The rest of the family didn't feel like resuming their normal habits due to Lincoln's condition and with Royal Woods still being in chaos. Even Lily didn't do much other than try to crawl to Lincoln's room to calm him down. Clyde and Ronnie had to go back to their homes, but not before wishing the Loud Family good luck. However, it wasn't until a week later when things took a turn for the worse.)
Lincoln: (in his sleep, squirming in his bed) No… Bill… Don't hurt my sisters…
(Lincoln opened his eyes to see his sisters tied up in chairs, gagged. He panicked as he tried to approach them but was suddenly blocked off by Bill's minions.)
Bill: HAHAHAHAHA!
(Lincoln sees Bill floating down in front of the sisters. He sees Bill with a gun.)
Bill: Looks like you are too late, snowflake! After all, this is what you wanted!
(Lana shook her head furiously, allowing the tape from her mouth to peel off a bit.)
Lana: Don't listen to him, Linky! It wasn't your fault you made that deal with Bill!
(The other sisters nodded in agreement as Bill shoots a bullet near Lana and ushers one of his minions to reapply the tape on her mouth.)
Bill: Will you just SHUT UP? He is the reason you are all trapped by me! If he never accepted my offer, you all wouldn't be here by now! (he faces Lincoln while disappearing in the background) And as for you, since you partly defeated me, I thought of the next best thing: turning your sisters into their Weirdmaggedon selves!
Lincoln: What?! OH NO!
Lana: (muffled) Oh no!
Lori: (muffled) Oh no!
Luna: (muffled) Oh no!
Bill: (crashes through a wall) OH YEAH!
(He pulls a lever to summon a conveyor belt, pulling all his captured sisters in it. The conveyor belt leads to a portal to Weirdmaggedon. The sisters try to get off the belt, but it was no use. Their restraints weren't helping matters either. Lincoln distracts Bill's minions by luring them in a bunch of boxes, trapping them in one. But as he almost reached the end of the conveyor belt, he was blocked by a brainwashed Ronnie Anne and Clyde McBride.)
Lincoln: (in shock) Clyde?! Ronnie?! Oh no! Not you guys, too!
Bill: Do whatever it takes to stop that boy from saving his sisters. Even if it means by killing him!
Ronnie Anne and Clyde: (brainwashed) Yes, Master.
(Ronnie Anne pulls out a knife while Clyde pulls out a machine gun. Lincoln steps back in fear as his brainwashed friends start going toward him. Lynn Jr manages to get the tape of her mouth.
Lynn Jr: Lincoln, I hate to be a bad sport, but we are almost going to get transformed!
(Lincoln starts sweating as he dodges the many bullets Clyde uses on his machine gun. It didn't help he also had to duck under when Ronnie Anne tried stabbing him with her weapon. Lincoln grabbed a grappling hook and tied up Clyde and Ronnie together with it. As the two struggles against the rope of the grappling hook, the sisters are at the end of the conveyor belt. Lincoln reached the end of it but was too late as the screams of his sisters were heard as they fell in the portal.
Loud Sisters: LINCOLN!
Lincoln: NOOOOOO!
(He stares in despair after the portal closed. He can't believe it. He was too late to save his sisters from becoming a Weirdmaggeon monster. He falls on his knees as he stares in the ground, tears coming from his eyes.)
Lincoln: I couldn't save them… This is my fault this happened…
(The boy notices the portal reopening and saw something going from in it. He saw the weirdest monster mankind has known. What makes this grotesque is the fact that all of his sisters were combined into one monster.)
Bill: You see that, kid? Because of you, all of your sisters are now part of Weirdmaggedon material. And the best part is that there is no cure! They are stuck like that for the rest of their lives! (laughs evilly)
(Lincoln stares in depression as he feels Ronnie Anne and Clyde restrain his arms. They used the rope to restrain Lincoln's arms and legs. He didn't try fighting it since he lost his sisters, tears streaming down his cheeks. Bill starts laughing as he loads up his gun.)
Bill: Boy, oh boy! It was sure easy for me to trick your egghead of a sister to give me some Quantum Energy. Now it comes to show that (points his gun at Lincoln) no matter what choice, I always win! (pulls the trigger)
(Lincoln woke up from his bed in panic. He pulls his shirt to see no wounds. He still feels guilty for his deed. This was his 15th Bill Cipher nightmare this month. Lincoln decided to get some milk from the fridge since he felt thirsty. But on the way there, he started to feel strange. He almost fell down the stairs a couple times, but as he reached the kitchen and got his glass of milk, he started to stutter. His family, who were in the kitchen watching the whole thing, widened their eyes in shock)
Lana: Linky?
Lola: Are you ok?
(Lincoln dropped his glass of milk on the floor, shattering it. He suddenly started foaming at the mouth. He sputtered, going in many directions, until he fell face flat on the living room floor. The family gasped as they rushed to him.)
All: Lincoln!
Lynn Jr: Oh no!
Leni: What was that about?
Luan: Do you think he has a virus inside him?
Lucy: Probably not.
Lisa: It must be the Quantum Energy!
All: Huh?
Lisa: It might be that energy Bill absorbed in his body! Look, I might not have all the details, but I suggest we call Stan and Ford now! They'll know what to do!
Lynn Sr: I'm on it, sweetie!
(Lynn Sr got into his phone and quickly dialed the number of Ford.)
Ford: Stan twins' residence. (he hears Lynn Sr panicking) Oh my! Stanley! Quick! We must get back to Royal Woods!
Stan: Got it! (He proceeds to get the boat keys and the two rushed to Royal Woods)
(Later, the Loud family, with Luna holding Lincoln, ran outside the house. They stumbled a problem. The vehicle that they used to reach Bill's base is nowhere to be seen.)
Leni: How are we going to find those two men? We don't know where they are!
Lucy: Not to mention Vanzilla is out for good.
Lori: That van we used is missing!
(Luan spotted some motorcycles nearby. Some of Weirdmaggedon that destroyed their neighborhood is still active, but they had to be sure not to be spotted by Bill's henchmen.)
Luan: We have no choice! Let's use these motorcycles!
Rita: Where did they come from?
Lynn Jr: There's no time to figure that out!
(Everyone got into the motorcycles and started them up. Luan had to hold Lincoln since Luna was driving the double seater motorcycle. Luckily, they received the location where the Stans were thanks to Lori announcing the destination. Before they drove to where the Stan-O-War was, they picked up Ronnie Anne and Clyde. It was lucky that they had enough seats for everyone. After meeting with Stan and Ford, everyone explained the situation. Rita gave Lincoln to Ford and told everyone to wait outside while he tried to analyze what was wrong with Lincoln. Later, in the Stan-O-War, Ford continued to examine Lincoln while the others waited.
Clyde: I don't like this. I don't like this one bit.
Lola: They've been in there for a long time.
Luan: A little too long if you ask me.
Lynn Jr: How much longer do we have to wait? This is killing me.
Lori: I'm- I'm sure it's nothing too serious.
Lisa: Doubt it.
Ronnie Anne: I just hope Lincoln makes it out alive.
Luna: I don't know, dude. Ford looked at little freaked out to me.
Lucy: This is very depressing.
Lily: Linky…
Lana: Poor Linky…
Lori: Come on, guys, trust me. When they come through that door, they're going to say, "everything is just fine".
Stan: (barges through the door in panic) Everything is NOT fine!
Loud Family, Ronnie, & Clyde: WHAT?!
Ford: Stanley, I told you to break it to them gently!
Stan: Sorry! I got nervous and panicked!
(Everyone ran past Stan and approached Ford.)
Ronnie Anne: Ford, what's wrong with Lincoln?!
Lana: What's happening to our Linky?!
Ford: (sighs) Your brother… is currently in deep coma due to overdose of Quantum Energy.
(The Loud Family, Ronnie Anne, and Clyde gasp. They approached Lincoln.)
Rita.: How is this happening?!
Ford: Because of Bill. When he absorbed the Quantum Energy, he knew exactly how to harness its power and use it to do his bidding. But now that Bill is still out there, the Quantum Energy is now flowing through Lincoln's body. The human body was never meant to endure this much Quantum Energy, so now it's working like a virus.
Clyde: That's awful.
Ronnie Anne: No!
Lisa: This is terrible.
Bobby: Uh oh.
Leni: Poor Linky.
Lily: Linky.
Lynn Jr: This can't get any worse!
Ford: I'm afraid… it does, Lynn Jr.
Luan: What?
Lisa: What are you trying to imply?
Ford: Not only did the Quantum Energy put Lincoln into a coma, but it's currently burning out his life force as well. If this continues, Lincoln's life force will be completely gone and he'll… he'll…
Lana: (worried) He'll what?
Stan: He'll… die.
(The Loud Family, Bobby, Ronnie, and Clyde were shocked and horrified after hearing that.)
Lola: D-d-d-die-e-e?
(Stan and Ford nod their heads slowly. The others rushed to where Lincoln is lying down. They looked at him with panic in their faces.)
Loud Sisters: Linky…
(Leni and Lana hold Lincoln's lifeless hands and squeezed them tight. Lola got on top of Lincoln and hugged him tight. Lucy looked down on the ground. Luan held Lily, trying to calm down the baby due to the news. Lori hugged Luna, shaking in fear, and Ronnie Anne kept stroking Lincoln's hair while Lynn Loud Jr looked worried.)
Leni: This can't be true!
Luna: Linky can't die!
(The Loud sisters felt more remorse for what they did to Lincoln over the years. It wasn't until then Lisa cleared her throat, getting everyone's attention.)
Lisa: This is my fault.
Rita: How come, sweetie?
Lisa: I was the one who gave Lincoln the Quantum Energy!
(The Loud Sisters gave Lisa angry glares in response. She pleaded to explain.)
Lisa: Let me explain! You see, I didn't just give it to Lincoln at that time. It was Bill. He fooled me. Since he took over our brother's body, he pretended to make Lincoln act innocent around the destruction in Royal Woods. He wanted to use that energy to make a portal to open a way to get his weird world into here. He also tricked me into believing me that I was Lincoln's favorite sister to get his way. I can't believe I was so stupid enough to fall for his trick to give him the power to possess people and hurt my brother!
Lucy: Don't blame yourself.
Luan: Yeah. Bill had all of us fooled.
Leni: I wonder what Lincoln has been dreaming about lately. He hasn't been able to sleep properly. He mutters something called "Weirdmaggedon".
Ford: Did you say Weirdmaggedon?
Loud Sisters: Yes.
Stan: Whoa. You kids have no idea how it was back in Gravity Falls.
Luna: What was it like, dude?
Ford: Well… It's better I show you here.
(Ford pulls out a TV, turning it on, and shows the recording of Weirdmaggedon happening in Gravity Falls. The Loud family reacted in supreme shock seeing the events that unfold. Giant teeth walking chasing a boy made Lola and Lana hug each other tight in fear. Seeing a rich man's eyes turn into one and ears at the mouth was enough to make Lynn Sr faint in front of Rita. It wasn't until the Loud Family got shocked when they saw Bill Cipher on top of Gravity Falls, claiming that place to be the new Weirdmagaddon. As Ford turned off the TV, Ronnie and Clyde were done covering their eyes due to being scared from the event, as well as the Loud Sisters with their covered mouths.)
Lori: So that was the place Bill was talking about.
Leni: Yeah. I never knew the offer he made us would be as catastrophic as this.
Lana: I'm glad we refused Bill's offer.
Lola: Same here. I would rather have my Linky back safe and sound than be queen of his lands.
Lucy: My brotherly figure is more important than being gloomy all the time.
Luna: What are we going to do, dudes?
Ford: Not much. Lincoln is suffering in his body. All we can do is hope for his recovery.
(As he said that, they turned to Lincoln lying down on a table. They exchanged worried looks as they hurried over to his sides. Some of them held his hands, other lied down their heads on his chest, not wanting to leave him.)
(Meanwhile, at Lincoln's mindscape, Lincoln started to wake up on a hospital bed. He heard someone speaking up.)
?: You're going to need a bigger scalpel, doctor.
(Lincoln suddenly woke up and saw his mother Rita in a nurse's outfit looking at him, along with his sisters standing on his side. He saw Lily pinning him down on the bed.)
Rita: Whoa there, son! We're just getting started! Now if you don't like the sight of blood, you want to close your eyes.
Lincoln: What?!
(He saw Lily making a "You're dead" face as he saw Bill Cipher dressed as a doctor approach with a big chainsaw. Lincoln's eyes widened in panic before he hopped off the bed in a hurry, ignoring the yells of his mother and siblings. He proceeded to get through a door, suddenly landing on Royal Woods. The door disappeared as he looked around, panting. Another door opened to reveal Clyde meditating.)
Clyde: It is okay, Lincoln. You can come in. It is safe behind this door.
(The door suddenly flew away as Lincoln tried to reach for it. He looked around to see strange things occurring.)
Lincoln: Where am I? One minute I was in Mom's office, the next I'm suddenly in Royal Woods. Am I dreaming?
(The boy looked down to see the golden chains Bill attached to him. He shook them off nervously but was surprised to see a ball and chain attached to his left leg. He tried to pry it off, only to receive some electricity around him that zapped him. Lincoln suddenly noticed the ball having the reflection of Bill Cipher's eye, which made him shiver in fear.)
Bill: Still at it, Snowflake? You remember the thing I told you when your family defeated me in your body. I'm still watching you!
Lincoln: No…
(He shakes nervously as the eye disappeared. He tried to run away, but the ball was too heavy, causing Lincoln to trip. Lincoln started to cower down in fear of his dreamscape. As he curled up in a ball sobbing, he saw his home in front of them.)
Lincoln: Maybe my family can help me remove this ball and chain. I bet Lana has one of those wrenches lying around.
(He slowly approached the house due to his heavy ball and chain. As he approached the front door, cracks suddenly appeared in front of the house, and broke. Lincoln was ambushed by a bunch of bats.)
Lincoln: Shoo! Go away!
(After Lincoln swatted the bats away, he looked inside the cracked area, and gasped, seeing it was a group of islands with bizarre sights. He saw a giant head of Lori floating, Ronnie Anne as a steak, Lana as the head of an alligator, Lola's perfume as the sky, Luna's guitar chords, Lynn Sr's food, and tons of Bill Cipher eyes shooting lasers.)
Lincoln: Whoa. This is trippy. (looks down at his restraint) If I'm going to get this off me, I got to go inside that place.
(Lincoln carries his ball and chain and heads inside. He encounters bizarre hallucinations of his friends such as Ronnie, Clyde, Zach, Liam, and Rusty. The boy sees a little plant resembling Lily following him. Lincoln buries the plant in some soil, and it grows into an eggplant, having Lola's face.)
Lola Plant: Face it, bucktooth. You don't deserve to be a Loud. You're just a mistake! We should have abandoned you the first chance we got! (starts laughing)
(Lincoln grunts in anger as he kicks the Lola Plant with his free leg. Suddenly, it becomes a target, surprising Lincoln. A box resembling Lisa appears, which was enough to make Lincoln walk up to it to see a note.)
Lincoln: This note is telling me that Bill is nearby. The only way I can get rid of my nightmares of him would be to destroy him for good. But how can I do that? He took control of my body before, and even if he got ejected out of it, he still haunts me in my head.
(While Lincoln was busy venting, he also sees a giant head of Bun-Bun that is holding out is Ace Savvy costume. Lincoln grabs it in curiosity.)
Lincoln: What is this doing here? (puts it on) What do I do with this?
(Lincoln sees a balloon of the demon version of Lori. Normally, this would scare him due to how scary she looks, but the boy was more mad than scared. He threw out his fist and punched the demon. He was surprised to see it work since the Lori demon vanished when she got hurt. After looking at himself from a mirror, he had a determined look on his face.)
Lincoln: If I'm going to save myself, my family, and Royal Woods, I have to suck it up and deal with Bill Cipher one last time. I can't waste any more time.
(Unknown to Lincoln as he dashed off, Bun-Bun's eyes blinked, revealing they were eyes of Bill Cipher.)
Bill Cipher: Get ready for the final showdown, Loud. Wait till I get done with you so I can resume with my evil plan.
TO BE CONTINUED…
