Chapter 3: The Ying-Yang Bunny-boy
Earlier in the night just before the Louds left their house, there was a group of people were driving around the Royal Woods area in a very large R.V. The driving was very reckless and borderline insane it was amazing that there wasn't a wreck yet. The driver was a young male, with dark brown hair and blue eyes
"Okay so where is the place again Reggie?" The driver asked looking at a map instead of the road, hence the reckless driving. A red haired, green eyed individual walked from the back of the R.V and sat in the passengers seat.
"Captain don't look at the map when your driving, we've talked about this. Also you were suppose to have turned right at that last light." The Red Haired person was oddly calm with the fact that the driver wasn't paying attention to the road, and took the map from the driver.
The driver smiled,"Oh I thought it was the next right, Hahahahahaha!" Suddenly the man driving did a sharp u-turn, which in an R.V was amazing since they didn't tip.
"The hell is wrong with you Captain?! You trying to kill us, or worse wake the Rabbit up!" Came a soft audible, third voice. The voice belonged to a young brunette man with green eyes, sitting on the small couch behind the driver.
"He's right don't wake the rabbit up Sir he's going to need all the energy he can get for the Reunion." This was a fourth female voice that belonged to a young brunette woman who blue eyes, was laying on top of the young brunette man.
"Okay so lets go over the Intel one more time just so that we don't have a repeat of the last job, Alexander." The Driver spoke implying fault at the brunette man, who just flipped the driver captain off "Hey I saw that"
"Getting back to the matter at hand, Sir. According to the Intel given to us by your sister our targets will be heading the a restaurant called 'The Loudest Flavors,' which is owned and ran by a Lynn Loud Sr."
"And you're sure that this information is reliable?" The driver asked The red head named Reggie.
"Well you're the one who paid his sister for the information, do you trust it Captain?" the brunette man asked.
"Touche." the driver replied. "Hey Alexander and Alexandria will you go check on the Rabbit real quick?"
"Didn't Reggie just do that?" Alexander moaned. The brunette got up and grabbed Alexander's hand pulling him up with her.
"Come on Love, it gives us a chance to stretch our legs." The brunette woman spoke lovingly to Alexander, with a smile.
"Okay fine I can never tell you no Alexandria." Alexander smiled and stood up and went to kiss the woman before him on the lips. Pulled away and let the woman lead him to the back to check on the Rabbit.
"Captain you need to turn left up ahead." Reggie said as she braced herself for what he knew was about to happen.
"Right Brace yourselves!" the driver yelled to Alexander and Alexandria. Then as the R.V approached the traffic light, they turned a hard left. The two standing up were sent up against the wall.
"Damn it Nagi your not allowed to drive anymore!" Alexander shouted to the driver while helping Alexandria to her feet, she was actually giggling at Alexander's reaction.
"Hey no shouting or you'll wake my second-in-command." the driver smirked.
After a minute Alexander walked back up and smack the driver on the back of the head. "He's still sleeping, ya crazy lunatic"
"Thank you I try. Hahahaha" the driver laughed.
"Sir we'll be arriving in 30 minutes." Reggie said looking at her gps on her phone.
"Okay when we park I'll wake Sleeping Bunny up." the driver spoke in a serious tone, "So you three go get ready we can not afford any mistakes." That tone told the other three that their boss was finally getting serious.
"Right." all three answered at once. Reggie got up and went to the over head cupboards and pulled duffel bag down, Alexander went to the cabinet under the sink and pulled out a case, and Alexandria went to the bathroom and behind the toilet pulled a sack out. In the duffel bag was a collection of knives, in the case were two pistols, and in the sack were explosives.
"Whoa Alexandria no explosives! Come on we talked about that." Reggie scolded the brunette woman.
"Aww but I didn't even get to use them last mission." Alexandria pouted.
"Next time Little Sis." the driver spoke in a gentle but serous tone.
"Okay Captain." The three loaded up on the minimum weaponry that they felt they would need, hiding it on their person.
Okay we are here." The driver announced as he pulled into the parking lot right outside their destination. He managed to find a descent spot to park. The driver parked got up and moved to the back to the area where The Rabbit was sleeping.
"$20 says the Boss gets punched." Alexander said smirking to the others.
"I'll take that bet, I think he'll kick him." Reggie spoke putting the knives away.
"I think your both wrong, I say the boss will get stabbed." Alexandria said in a thinking pose that implies playfulness.
Suddenly there was a loud noise from the back and muffled sound of voices and after 5 minutes the door opened and the Driver walked out with a knife sticking out of his left shoulder.
Ha ha ha, Very funny who left a knife by him?" he asked pulling the knife out without a second thought. "Now I need to get a new shirt." Reggie and Alexander looked at Alexandria who had a innocent smile.
"I win. Pay up suckers" Alexandria held her hand out, as the other two reached into their wallets and each pulled out $20 and begrudgingly handed it her.
"You are evil you know that Alexandria." Alexander said now smiling.
"That's why you love me dear Brother." She smiled and reached over and kissed Alexander on his lips.
"Okay you three get your game faces on." The Drive spoke wearing a green shirt with a large brown trench coat.
"So we take it he wasn't o happy to see you Captain?" Reggie asked jokingly already knowing the answer.
"I don't know why, I mean I let him sleep for 9 hours."The driver shrugged playing the victim.
"Yeah AFTER you shot me with a tranquilizer dart, Big Bro." Spoke a fifth voice from the back of the R.V. Coming up to the group was another young man, dressed and ready. He was wearing blue jeans, a black leather jacket that had a patch of a rabbit wearing sunglasses, eating a carrot, his face was covered mostly by a green scarf, and on his head was a black-knitted cap with the same rabbit patch that was on his jacket.
The driver smiled, "Well would you have gotten any sleep if I hadn't?" The man in black shrugged his shoulders in defeat.
"Touche Bro. So where are we and what's the job?" At that moment there was an eerie silence in the air.
"Well we are in a small town in Michigan, our Targets are heading to a restaurant that we are currently parked outside of." The Driver said not making contact with his second-in-command.
"Captain Nagi when you don't make eye contact or give me full details about the job, it's usually because you're hiding something." The Man in Black's blue eyes widen for he just put it all together.
The Driver Nagi saw the look and went to speak, "Okay look we got a job so we're doing it. I paid a lot of money to my sister for this Intel. End of discussion, got it?" The Driver's voice was firm and commanding.
"Yes Bro." The Man in Black answered and saluted his boss
The Driver walked up to his second-in-command and put his arms on his shoulders and made eye contact and said, "Look do this job and you're finally on vacation, and you'll get to spend some time with your family."
The Man in Black nodded, "Okay I trust you Big Brother." The two did a secret not secret hand shake to show that they were cool with each other.
"Okay lets get going." As they walked out of the R.V, The Driver grabbed from his coat a tall red and black striped cotton made hat, that reminds you of the Cat in the Hat's hat, with the top folded to the right side.
"Why are you wearing that hat Captain?" Alexander asked giving a look of regret being seen with this man.
"It's my dad's. It's a good luck charm." The Driver smiled proudly wearing the ridiculous hat.
Now this group of five waked into the restaurant and asked to be seated near the party room that had people in it already. They sat down in a booth and very subtly watched the party room. The Man in Black was watching the people in the party room all while his nerves were getting to him. Their boss noticed this.
"Hey man chill it's going to be okay." The Driver spoke in a calm almost goofy tone. "Order a drink you'll relax faster."
"You know I don't drink ever." The Man in Black spoke serious. " I think I just need to use the restroom, I'll be back." He got up and walked by the party room to the bathroom that was around the corner and when he turned he bumped into someone knocking them on their butt.
"Hey watch were you're going pal!" there sitting in front of the Man in Black was a young Hispanic woman. The woman had long flowing black raven hair, beautiful hazel eyes, Clear smooth beautiful skin, and was wearing a purple hoodie.
"Oh I'm so sorry Miss let me help you up." The man in Black reached his hand out to the woman, and she accepted his help.
"Geeze where you heading in such a hurry man?" The Hispanic woman asked a bit annoyed..
"To the Restroom Miss."
"My names not 'Miss,' It's Ronnie-Anne Santiago." The woman got in his face and went on to say, " Ya got it Pal?" The Man in Black kept his composure and simply said.
"Yes understood Ronnie-Anne." The Man in Black moved to the side and walked to the restroom.
"Hey who said we were done?" but it was to late he was in the men's room. "That one was a weird-o." Ronnie-Anne walked back to the party room just as the Louds walked through the door.
Over at the table with the four other people, they saw the Loud family walking in and heading towards the party room. They watched them greeting each other and exchanging pleasantries.
"Captain our targets are here." Reggie spoke calmly not looking up from her cup of tea that she ordered while the Man in Black went to the restroom.
"Remember wait until the right moment, we need to keep the element of surprise." he Driver spoke just as calmly. They nodded their acknowledgement. The Drive pulled out his phone and sent a txt.
Mean while in the men's room the Man in Black was at the sink throwing water over his face dried it and wrapped his scarf around his face. Looking up he looked at himself in the mirror and started talking to himself.
"Get it together Man you need to be on your top game. You can do this." Just then his phone went off. He checked it and read the txt.
"The targets have arrived, get back here pronto."
"Okay time to become the Ying-Yang Rabbit." At that moment he hear a familiar loud BANG!
"Alright NO BODY MOVE! This is a robbery and a kidnapping!" All of a sudden 15 men in black bullet proof gear and each holding an MK-16, rushed in and went to round up all the pedestrians.
"Now I suggest you all listen to the men with the assault rifles and give them all your valuables, thank you for your cooperation." The one speaking was the one who had shot that single round, he was wearing full body armor, and he didn't wear a mask like the others. This man was in his late twenties, a blonde with blue eyes who stood 6" tall and had a very creepy smile.
"Now can anyone tell me where I can find The McBride Family, The Santiago Family, and most importantly The Loud Family. It is very important that I meet them." The blonde man was walking toward the party room, where the whole group were escorted out of the party room by the men with guns.
"Hello there You all must be just the people I have been sent to end." The man's smile twisted and scared Lily as she clung to her mother.
"Please Sir just take the money and go we don't want any trouble from you and your friends." Lynn Sr. spoke up moving his family and friends behind him.
"Oh you don't want trouble huh?" Suddenly the blonde man pistol whipped Lynn across his left temple. Lynn fell to the ground stunned.
"LYNN!" Rita gasped and rushed to her husband.
"I'm okay Rita, stay with the kids." Lynn spoke his head spinning. Rita didn't hear him and was by his side on the floor.
"You're a monster!" Lucy shouted at the man, who smiled at her making her skin crawl.
The man pointed his pistol at Lynn and Rita. "You want to blame anyone for this blame Lincoln Loud." All of the Louds, Pop-pop, Clyde, and Ronnie-Anne looked at the man wide eyed.
"You know where my brother is?! Please you have to tell us!" Lori exclaimed desperately, finally after 10 years word of Lincoln was with in their grasp. The man looked at Lori and answered her.
"Yes I do and the plan is to kill all of you then wait for him to come running for revenge and right into our trap." As the man eyed Lori he spoke, "Though killing you ladies would be a waste before we had our fun. Hehehehehe." The man and his nearby crew laughed.
"Your a disgusting pig!" Luna yelled while holding Lily close to her.
"Thank you, now say good-bye to Mommy and Daddy." the man aimed at Lynn Sr. and everyone looked away.
BANG!
Silence followed, Lynn Sr. and Rita opened their eyes and looked up to see A Man in Black standing in front of them holding the blonde man's gun holding arm in the air. The Man in Black squeezed the blonde mans wrist making him cry out in pain and drop his weapon, and then grabbed the blonde man by the front of his shirt, while over at the table where his crew sat, their leader sighed.
"Well shit's hit the fan, Cover him" And in the blink of an eye they were gone.
"Lincoln Loud's family and friends are off limits, Paul!" The Man in Black yelled at the man he had lifted into the air by 5". The blonde man looked in the eye's of the man that had him in the air and smiled,.
"So the boss was right threaten these people and you'll come out of the hole you were hiding in." The blonde took a deep breath and yelled "Quick kill everyone in the building!" Silence was all that followed.
"Sorry but your men are a little tied up at the moment." The Driver walked up to stand next to his second-in-command. Luan giggled at the pun seeing that all the men were tied together and unconscious. When the blonde saw the Driver he became pale white from fear.
"I take it you know who I am Paul?" The Driver Smirked, waiting for an answer.
"Your The Steel Ermine of Organization 15, Nagi Bateman of the Shojen Clan." Paul gulped
"Good you have heard of me." Nagi spoke calmly, Paul shook his head. "And yet you still have the nerve to attack my little brother's family and friends, naughty, naughty. What do you think Rabbit?" The Man in Black then started punching the blonde in the gut as his response.
"This is for hurting my father."
"How can I feel that through my body armor!?" Paul gasped out.
"Simple his punches are stronger then your armor thanks to the force in each of them." Nagi explained. Another punch.
"That's for all the hellish torture you put me and the others through at that Hell-hole!" Paul lost consciousness and The Man in Black was about to ready another punch to finish Paul off.
"Please stop you'll kill him!" Leni spoke up and begged wanting the violence to end already.
"This man tortured your brother, using a knife to cut up his body while still keeping him awake." Nagi remarked to Leni's plea for mercy.
"I-I didn't know." Leni started to silently cry hearing that her little Lincy had been tortured, and all the others also shed tears hearing that. The Man in Black dropped the unconscious Paul.
"No she's right, if I kill him it would be disrespectful to you, and a betrayal to myself." This was spoke with a soft and almost warm voice that some how for some reason put the entire Loud family girls at ease, regardless of what's going on. Nagi smiled at his comrade
"And that's why your my little brother and second-in-command." Nagi spoke patting his friend's back
The Man in Black turned to face the three families, knelt down and examined Lynn Sr.'s injury. Seeing that it wasn't bleeding at least, he let out a relieved sigh. He then reached into his jacket pocket and held out what looked like Ibuprofen.
"Here take this for the headache." Lynn Sr. took the medicine gratefully.
"Thank you sir." Lynn Sr. spoke after swallowing the pills.
"Do you know our son?!" Rita couldn't restrain herself any longer. She needed to know where her baby boy was, she and her family have needed to know for the past ten years. The Man in Black stood up and turned back around.
"I do know him you can say." he spoke softly to where they could barely hear him, but the did. They all got extremely excited, finally someone knew something. Lynn Sr. and Rita stood up and everyone moved closer.
"Please tell us where is he now."
"Where has he been."
"Who took him?"
"Is he okay? They started badgering him with all these questions overwhelming him. When Nagi stepped in between them and his second-in-command, and held his hand up.
"Before we answer your questions, I have one I'd like you to answer on of mine. What was the reason that Lincoln left the house that night?" Nagi put his hand down and waited for an answer. He didn't have to wait long.
"Why do you need to know that?" Lisa Loud asked for everyone.
"I promise you here and now if you answer me Lincoln Loud will appear before you." Nagi smiled in a way that spoke truth to his words. Lynn Jr. and Lucy looked down and stepped forward.
"It was our fault we were fighting over something so stupid." Lynn spoke first tears starting to form.
"He was just trying to get us to talk it out and help, but we made him feel useless." Lucy continued for Lynn, also starting to cry.
"It's our fault that he left and was taken from us!"Lynn and Lucy spoke in unison and just started out right crying, making all the other Loud girls cry.
The Man in Black turned and yelled, "That's not TRUE!" The room grew quiet and as the group looked at the man they were caught off guard as they saw tears in his eyes.
"I left because I couldn't get over my past failures and the inability to help my precious sisters! I shouldn't have left in anger, I should have taken my own advice and talked it out with you all!" The Man in Black fell to his knees crying. "I never ever once blamed either of you for me being taken, Luce, Lynn!"
All the Louds, Pop-pop, The McBrides, and The Santiagos held their breath, only one person called Lucy 'Luce,' but they couldn't believe it. Its to good to be true, but could it be? Their question was answered when Nagi walked over to his little brother and took off the cap and the scarf. And there on his knees crying was the one person they had all been looking for. The boy who haunted their dreams. Who drove them to pursue their current goals. There white haired, buck tooth, crying, was their son, their brother, and their friend. There looking up at them, was a grown Lincoln Loud
