Happy (early) Halloween guy! I know, it's been a while since I updated this story, but I just have to focus on other things. That's life, y'know? Now, change of plans in this chapter. Cross and XLola are not gonna go to a Full House Gang AU. They are going to a horror universe theme. The reason why I wanted to do this is because that Halloween is coming soon, so I decided to do this.
But don't worry. The two special X Soldiers will go to a FHG AU later on. I just wanted to do something festive for the holiday.
In this alternate universe, Cross and XLola are gonna meet "Lincoln exe" (or "Neuro"), obviously a reference to "Sonic exe" (I can't put the dot symbol between Lincoln and exe, cuz every time I save this chapter, the whole word disappears for some reason). But the character isn't mine. It's owned by BECEnterprises on DeviantArt.
It's a story called "Lincoln exe" and his sequel "RequiemForALoud exe". Check out those stories first, if you don't want to get confused. So, if BECEnterprises is reading this, I hope you don't mind if I borrow your character.
Warning: This chapter contains blood and gore. But you probably knew that, already...
With all of that said, hope y'all enjoy!
A portal opened up, to review Cross Lincoln coming out of it, landing on a street. The portal then closed behind him. The white haired boy looked around to see this alternate version of Royal Woods. Other then the birds chirping in the morning, there was not a single person in site. XLola then appeared right next to Cross.
'Huh...there's no one here.' XLola said. "Are you sure this is an AU about the Full House Gang?'
"Maybe, maybe not." Cross replied. "Let's take a little detour of this place." He added, while walking down the street.
Stage 1 - RoyalWoodsInRuins
The white haired boy has been walking for a few minutes, hopeing for someone to kill, or a location to take back to his AU. Nothing special happens...until...
'Cross, look!' XLola said, pointing in front of her. Cross then looked to were she was pointing, and then raised an eyebrow. There was the Loud Family (sans Lincoln), along with Clyde, Bobby and Ronnie Anne but...as corpses.
Lori's head, arms and legs were all detached from her body, Leni had been crushed to death by a car, the tire right through her head, Luna had been impaled by spikes in her stage dive pose, Luan's head has been replaced with Mr. Coconuts, and her own head was in her right hand, Lynn had a hockey stick penetrating through her chest, Lucy has apparently been hanged by a tree, Lana and Lola were smashed together into a bloody mess, Lisa had her face burn off by what appeared to be chemicals, Lily had been choked to death by her blankie. Finally, Rita and Lynn Sr were aslo hanged on a tree, right next to eachother.
As to the others, Clyde had his nose ripped off and stabbed in his eye, Ronnie Anne had been crushed by a podium, similar to where she and Lincoln had their first kiss and Bobby was killed in a similar fashion to Lori.
"...Looks like someone was here before us." Cross said, looking at the dead bodies. "Eh, their useless to become my servents, anyways."
'But, if they all died...where's is this world's Lincoln?' XLola wondered. Before Cross can talk back, he feels a presence behind him. He then turn around, to see a boy in the distance, it's back towards him. The thing that made the two kids confused, is that the other boy's skin was in a grey color.
'Look, he has white hair. It must be this world's Lincoln!' The little girl said. Cross then summoned his knife at his hands.
"Well...let's see how this will go." Replied Cross. He then make his way towards the other Lincoln, as he was right behind him. Though, Cross's counterpart didn't move. Cross was then ready to stab the other boy with his knife, but as soon as the tip of the knife touches his back, the whole world went black.
"Another me? Interesting..." Said a deep demonic voice. "Hello, newcomer. Let's play a game, shall we?"
Stage 2 - ANewContender
Cross was laying down on grass in some park, with his eyes close. Then he woke up, as he gasped. He was breathing in and out, trying to progress what has happened. Cross then quickly got up.
"W-What the hell was that?" Cross asked, still breathing in and out. "Where did he go?" He asked again, referring to the other Lincoln.
'Cross...did you saw that?' XLola questioned, with a face of confusion and fear.
"Saw what?" The boy replied.
'T-That other Lincoln...he's not normal.' She explained. 'Right before you were about to attack him, I saw his eyes. They were black with red glowing pupils, and there was blood running down them. And he has disgusting yellow teeth.'
"So...I guess this Lincoln is a demon in this universe." Cross said, calming down. "He wants to play games with us? Let's give him one, he'll never forget." He angrily added. But before he can do anything else, there was a big explosion, causing him to hold his ears in pain.
When the ringing sound in his ears finally stopped, Cross looked up, and saw that the park the are in, was in flames. The sky was now in a red color, and the now-orange grass was set ablaze.
"Whoever you are, is gonna take a lot more than that to scare me!" Cross yelled, looking around him. "Come out, and show yourself!"
When he finished his warning, a figure appeared right in front of him. It was the other Lincoln, Cross and XLola had encountered earlier. All of the features XLola had explained to Cross was right. The other Lincoln has black eyes with red glowing pupils, with blood leaking out of them.
"Well, well. What do we have here?" Cross's counterpart asked, still with his demonic voice. "Another pathetic cretin enter my domain." He added, chuckling afterwards.
"Ah, your a powerful one. I can see it in your eye." The demon continued, referring to Cross's orange pupil on his left eye. "It's pretty obvious your not from around here." He added on.
"Huh. I assume your the demon that possessed Lincoln, right?" Cross asked.
"Indeed, but there's more to my story, than you think." The demon replied. "You see, my name is Neurofibromatosis, or Neuro for sort. I'm a disease that went into this boy's body." Neuro explained.
"In his Subconscious Mind, I place tumors into his head, so he can die the next day and finally have control over his body. But thanks to his stupid jock sister, it expanded his life span by two-to-three weeks." Neuro added, remembering that in the real world, Lynn kick a soccer ball staight to Lincoln's head, dislodging the tumors in his brain.
'Wait...is he talking about that Lincoln from the AU, that was going to die in two weeks?' XLola asked, referring to the 'Requiem for a Loud' AU.
'...Maybe this is an alternate ending from that universe.' Cross replied, talking to the girl through his mind. He then looked back at Neuro.
"Tell me more..." Cross said, getting interested by this.
"After that happened, I killed Lincoln's subconscious figment, so he'll won't stop me from achieving my goal." Neuro continued. "And when the tumors in his brain killed him, I finally got control over his body. I killed everyone he know and loves and I become the most powerful being in this universe!"
"But you have no right to come here. Your just standing in my way." The demon said. Cross then chuckle at this.
"So what are you gonna do? Torture me, make me your slave?" Cross asked. "I'm afraid that's not going to happened." He added, while gripping on his giant knife.
"I've seen way more stronger people in this multiverse, while you are just a pathetic demon." Cross said again.
"Hehe, oh, I am much more then a demon." Neuro replied.
"I..." His fingers then turned into sharp claws.
"AM..." More blood was leaking out of his eyes.
"GOD!" Neuro yelled, as he charges at Cross to strike him with his claws, but Cross immediately saw this and dodges to the left. Cross then was ready to stab Neuro in the chest, but the demon disappear. He then reappeared behind Cross and slash him at his back.
Cross wince at this, though he's not gonna let someone like him take him down. He then punch Neuro in the gut, sending him to fly backwards, but he managed to land on his feet.
Cross took advantage at this, and summoned a few orange giant knifes floating around him. He then snapped his fingers, which made the knifes charging to Neuro. The demon then teleported a bunch of times, missing every knife attack as they hit the ground instead.
"You got moves. I'll give you that." Neuro said. "Unfortunately for you, you will still perish." He then summoned clones of himself, which they have darker skin color. All of the clones raced towards Cross, ready to pounce on him. Cross then slice one of the clones, turning him into black dust. He then proceeded to do the same with the others.
One of the clones then soft kick Cross, making him fell to the ground. They were all laughing demonically at this. Cross started to yell, as he hold his head in pain.
But Cross suddenly got up, and went for a rage induced berserk attack, slashing every one of Neuro's clones with his knife. Once they all turn into black dust, Cross then looked at Neuro.
"Play time is over..." Cross angrily said, as he raced towards Neuro to strike him with his knife, only for the counterpart to teleport behind him. Neuro then began to laugh, showing his yellow teeth.
"C'mon, is that all you got?" Neuro teased. Cross then slash behind him to stab the demon, but once again, the demon teleported.
"You can't dodge forever!" Cross yelled. The boy then waited for his counterpart to make his next move. Then Neuro reappear next to Cross.
'Cross, to your right!' XLola yelled. Cross saw this, and slashes Neuro's torso. The demon then hold his chest in pain, as blood was leaking out.
"H-How did-" Neuro said in shock, not believing someone was to leave a mark on him. He then looked right next to Cross, to see XLola floating besides him (since he can detect spirits). "Oh, who is this? Another cretin?" He asked.
'Who are you calling a cretin!?' XLola angrily asked.
"It doesn't matter who she is." Cross replied. "It's just me, and you..." He added, but before he can attack Neuro again, his counterpart then snapped his fingers, as all three of them was teleported to another location.
Stage 3 - FinalAct
Cross Lincoln then opened his eyes, to see that he was in a dark-like void. He looked around to see if Neuro was around him, but he was nowhere to be seen.
"Let me guess, your gonna appear right in front of me, in attempt to scare me?" Cross said, while rolling his eyes. "Well, I hate to disappoint you, bu-" Before the white haired boy can continue, a red laser beam hit Cross's back, as he fell to the ground.
He then looked up to see Neuro looking at him with a grid on his face.
"I'll admit, you are something interesting. No one has ever lay a single scratch on me." Neuro said. "You could be useful in my side, but it's up for Nlocnil to decide." He added, referring to another special Lincoln in his universe.
"I'm not some kind of puppet, you can control." Cross replied, while getting up. "So, cut the crap, and let's get this over with!" He yelled.
'Need some help?' XLola asked, as she appeared right next to Cross.
"...Very well. Let's show this guy who is the real devil is." Cross said back, summoning his giant knife.
"You think the two of you can stop me!?" Neuro asked, laughing afterwards. "I can't wait to tear y'all apart, you cretins!"
Neuro then started to float in the air, as both of his hands were glowing red. He pointed his hands at Cross, as they both fire red lasers. Cross held his knife in front of him to block the two lasers, as it reflected from the his weapon. Cross then teleported on top of Neuro and punch him down to the ground.
Once that the demon was down, XLola went to Neuro, and punch him several times in the face. Neuro then kick XLola out of the way. Once he got up, Cross then summoned another giant knife on his other hand. He charged as Neuro, slicing him up a couple of times.
Neuro then teleported out of the way, ready to slash Cross with his claws, but XLola came up behind him and did a roundhouse kick to the demon.
"You damn brat!" Neuro angrily said, ready to shoot a laser beam at her, but the girl quickly dodge the beam, as she teleported right next to Cross. Neuro then started to sweet. He was getting weak of all of this fighting.
"T-This can't be...I'm supposed to be the most strongest being in this universe!" Neuro yelled, breathing in and out.
"Sigh...that's what they all said." Cross replied. "Now before I end you, whatever your send to after death...tell them, Cross said hi." He added, as he appeared right in front of Neuro and slices his head off clean. Neuro's head landed on the ground with a thud, along with his headless body with blood leaking out from the top of the neck. Then the head and body turn into black, as they disappear out of sight.
"...Finally. He's gone." Cross said, with a sigh afterwards. He was getting tired himself. But he was happy to get the job done.
'Well, I think that's enough excitement for one day.' XLola said. 'Let's get out of here. We'll go to that Full House Gang AU later on.' She continued.
Cross just simply ignored her, and press a button on his multiverse bracelet, returning to his alternate universe.
A few seconds later after that...Neuro came back. His head was attached to his body. He then looked up and called out...
"Nlocnil!" Neuro yelled. After that happens, another figure appeared right in front of the demon. It was a black silhouette with red eyes. His name is Nlocnil. Lincoln's inner anger and dark guardian of his mind, but since Lincoln is dead, Nlocnil was free from his body and now has his own physical body.
"What do you need, boss?" Nlocnil asked, aslo in a demonic voice.
"I just have a recently have battle with someone. Let's just say...that he came from an alternate dimension." Neuro replied. "I even had to cost my own second life. Obviously I underestimated his power. As much I hate to say it, but if people like him keeps coming here, onc of them will eventually get rid of us."
"I wouldn't worry about that." Nlocnil said back. "If we kill the last remaining people in this pathetic world, we'll have enough power to take on anyone who stands in our way. We might even have the power to enter the multiverse." He added.
"Hmm...on that, you're right. Let's keep doing our job, and show this earth what we really got!" Neuro said, he and Nlocnil started to laugh evilly.
Another chapter completed! This was fun to make, even though this chapter was in the works for a week or two. Like I said at the beginning, Cross and XLola will be going to a FHG AU later on, so don't worry. And if your reading this, BECEnterprises, I hope you don't mind of using your OC here.
The reason why I can't tell you cuz you don't have an account for me to reply to you and I don't have a DeviantArt account.
Nlocnil is from the fanfic "The Insane House" by Chaos C
Have a save Halloween, people!
