It was an incredibly long and wild ride for the young heroes. Finally, they all dropped out of the sky and onto the ground.

"Okay," Lynn said. "That made no sense. We jumped into a whirlpool and then came out of the sky. What is with this crazy mixed-up island?"

"I'm glad I didn't go with Lisa," Lana sighed. "Otherwise I'd be bored to death by one of her physics lectures." Lana took a look at their surroundings. What she saw was a gray, cloudy sky and a bunch of sharp pointy rocks.

"This must be the place," Lynn observes.

"Alright!" Lana shouts. "Let's go find Lincoln!"

"I still don't know why you wanna find that little white-haired freak," groaned Fee.

"Lincoln's not a freak! He's our brother! We have to go find him! He might be hurt!"

"Sheesh! Did you take some imbecilic pills today? Haven't you forgotten what he did to you? And now you wanna bring him back!?"

"I don't care what crazy thing he did! He needs us! And we need him!"

"Face it, Lana! Your brother is a lost cause! He's turned feral and that's all he's gonna be from now on! So the smart thing to do is just leave him here, wait for a boat or helicopter, go home, and call it a day!"

Lana got infuriated. She hated anyone talking about her brother like that. "You know what? I've had just about enough! You think you know everything, but you know nothing about Lincoln! Lincoln's kind, smart, caring, helpful and he always tries to protect us from danger! But all you care about is yourself! What is it that you have against our brother?! At first I thought you were cool, but if you're not gonna at least be supportive, then stay out of my way! I'll just find Lincoln myself!"

"Lana wait! I'm coming with you!" Lynn ran after her younger sister, leaving the wild trio behind.

"Yeesh! What's her problem?" Fee asked.

"Well Fee," Harvey explains. "I hate to say this, but you have been kinda mean to them since they got here."

"What? How could you still be on their side?"

"You didn't even give them a chance. The only thing you could think about is how they're different than us. You've been a bad host, a bad friend and a bad not-so-human being." Harvey started following the two Loud girls.

"And where are you going?"

"I'm gonna go help them. I'll help them find their brother even if it kills me. And until you're ready to apologize, don't bother following me."

"Oh yeah? Well fine! Go ahead! We don't need you either! Right Foo?"

Foo was a little heartbroken too. "Sorry Fee. It just isn't fun anymore." Foo started following too, leaving Fee all alone.

"Fine! I don't need you! I don't need any of you!" Fee walked away on her own. But as she did, the words that Lana had said started echoing in her mind.

"Oh, who am I kidding? They were right! Why do I have to be such a jerk? What is wrong with me?" Fee then hears a rustling coming from inside the bush. "Harvey? Foo?" But as it turns out, what was in the bush were actually a group of panthers. "Oh, hey guys. Listen, this is all just a misunderstanding. How about you just let me go, I don't say anything, you don't say anything and we're cool?" The panthers then held out their claws. "Okay, so that's a no."

Elsewhere, Lincoln is sitting alone behind a pile of rocks. During a brief hallucination, Lincoln saw a huge crowd of talking foods.

"Lincoln? Lincoln!"

Lincoln regained his composure and sees his sisters right in front of him. "Lana?"

"Snap out of it Lincoln. Look, the rescue beacon is fixed. Someone will find it. We'll be saved."

"You guys can go. I'll just stay here."

"Come on, Lincoln! We can't leave without you!"

"I can't go back, Lana. I'll only hurt you again."

"Okay I get it. So you bit me on the leg. Big deal. I've been through worse. But it doesn't have to be like that. You can come back with us, we can go back home, and everything can go back to the way it's supposed to be."

"This is the way things are now. What does it matter?"

"What does it matter? It's you that matters to us, and we matter to you."

"Yeah right."

"No! Really, it's true! Look, you might not understand this, but we need you as much as you need us! In fact, we need you a lot more than you need us and it's not because you're a loser, a nobody or even just a bystander we could care less about. It's because you're our brother. You're our only brother."

"But why would anyone wanna be with me?"

"Why would anyone wanna be with you? Look at you! You're the full package! Why I bet everyone else would give up everything they love just to be like you! You're kind! And considerate! You help us out with our problems, you give us advice. In fact, we wouldn't even know how to find you if it wasn't for the advice you gave us."

Lana then started to tear up as her voice started breaking. "In fact, you matter more to us than we do to you. There's only one of you and 10 of us. If one of us were to leave, you'd never be without a sister. But if you leave us, we might never get another brother. You're one of a kind, Lincoln. That's why we need you. I know you don't think you're important, but you're more than that. Sure, we are have our own talents, but the reason we got better was because you were always there to help and support us. And the thing that makes you special is that you never give up on anyone. You've always been there for us and there are times when we were never there for you. Now I only wish we could take it back and do it all over again. If you stay here and we go back home, we'll never be happy. You're the glue that holds us all together, and…..and…..we're not the same….without you."

Lana started crying to herself, when Lynn started hearing a snarling behind her. She turned around fast and saw that the panthers were headed right for them. "Um…...Lana?"

"Not now Lynn. I'm too upset."

"Seriously Lans! I think we should get out of here!"

Lana opens her eyes and sees what her sister was talking about. "Oh. Hey guys. Listen I get it, you must be hungry and probably angry, but that doesn't mean you have to take it out on us. I mean, can't we all just get along?"

All she got in response was a panther roaring in her face. "Okay, I guess not."

Lynn picks up a stick and threatens the panthers with it. "Stay back! All of you! Stay back!"

The panther just swiped its claw in front of her, breaking the stick in half. Lynn threw the other half of the stick at the cat, but it just peeved them off even more. "That sounded better in my head."

"Should we run for our lives?"

"Yep."

The two ran off as Lincoln watched as his sisters were getting chased by a pack of rabid panthers. "Oh man! What do I do? If I don't do something, my sisters are gonna get eaten!" But then his memories keep coming back from when his sisters scolded him for wrecking the boat, and it starts to make him really mad. "Yeah, well, serves them right!"

"I wouldn't be so sure about that." Lincoln then hears a voice coming from a puddle right next to him. He looks at it and sees his reflection talking to him.

"Who are you?"

"I'm your subconscious."

"How come you never appeared before?"

"I've always been around. I've just been in your head the whole time. But that's all beside the point. Why aren't you gonna save your sisters?"

"Why should I care? All they ever did was mock me! Especially Lori, Lynn and Lola! Ugh! They make me so angry!"

"Come on pal. Not everything they do is a bad thing."

"Wanna bet? They only care about themselves! They fight for no reason, they treat me like a slave, they blamed me for the toilet clogging incident, they complained about my habits, they disrespected Ace Savvy, they thought I was bad luck and they made me wear a squirrel suit!"

"You had a lot to do with that incident, you know!"

"Well what about their stupid fight protocol?!"

"I thought you forgave them for that!"

"That doesn't mean I still don't remember!"

"Lincoln! That's enough! Don't you see what you're doing! Listen to yourself! You're so focused on all the mean things that they've done to you, you're forgetting all the nice stuff they've done for you!"

"Oh yeah?! Well, I just don't care! What nice things have they ever done for me anyway?!"

"What are you talking about?! They've done tons of nice things for you! You gotta try to remember! Think real hard!"

Lincoln tried to think of the times that Lincoln's sisters have done nice things for him, but comes up with nothing. "I can't!"

"You have to try! Come on! Think harder! Look into your heart and remember!"

Lincoln tried again, but then he remembered all those times his sisters helped him feel better when he was sick, including the time when they all formed a family band, the time they got his favorite band SMOOCH to play in front of his house, when they tried to convince their parents not to get rid of him because of a misinterpretation, the time Luan gave Lincoln a job as her assistant, even the time when they gave up their new roommate arrangement just so he could be happy. Those thoughts then made him feel a little more guilty and tears started forming in his eyes. "Wow…..I-I didn't realize…...they did so much for me." Lincoln then started to cry a little. "They really do care."

"Of course they do!" His subconscious reminded him. "Don't you see? They're just like you. Even if they screw up or make fun of you sometimes, they still care about you no matter what. And they try really hard to make up for their mistakes just like you do."

"Oh my gosh! You're right! Even if they are mean to me, they're still my sisters. And I can't let them get hurt!"

"So what do you think you should do?"

"I'll tell you what I'm gonna do! I'm not gonna let them get eaten! I'm gonna go save them, even if it means getting eaten by those panthers myself!" Lincoln then took off leaving his subconscious behind.

"Now that's the Lincoln Loud I know!"

Meanwhile, Lana and Lynn kept on running for their lives.

"Hurry Lynn! They're coming!"

"I'm hurrying!" Lynn said. "I never thought I'd die on an island as food for wild animals!"

"Honestly, I only like animals that don't want to eat me!"

"Then why do you keep a rattlesnake in your room?"

"Do we really need to have this discussion now?!"

Suddenly, both the girls ran into the rest of their sisters.

"Guys! What are you doing doing here?"

"Saving you," Lola answered. "What does it look like?"

"I hate to interrupt," Lisa intervened, "but I think we're all gonna need saving!"

The panthers were approaching them even more. Just then, Harvey, Piri, Fee and Foo arrived looking quite scared.

"Harvey?" Said Lynn.

"Piri?" Lola asked.

"Foo?" Lori says.

"Fee!" Lana glares angrily. "You got a lot of nerve showing up here."

Fee stood up. "Okay, look. I get you're peeved off. Yes, I know I was selfish, yes I know I was rude, and yes I came here to apol…...apo….apolog…."

"Apologize," Lisa finishes. "And you might wanna hold off on that seeing as how we have a bigger problem at the moment!" The panthers were getting closer and closer.

"Let's get out of here!" Lana shouts.

The kids all kept on running until finally they reached a dead end. Now it seems like the end for the Loud girls.

"Well, looks like this is our fate," Lucy lamented.

"Do any of you have any suggestions," Lisa asked.

"Just one Lisa," Lynn answered. "Close your eyes so you don't see it coming."

Just as the girls prepare for the worst as the panthers approach them, a certain white haired boy leaps right in front of them. "Hey! You get away from my sisters!" The panthers look surprised. "Yeah that's right, I'm talking to you! So listen up! We humans don't like being pushed around, or eaten, or squashed or torn to shreds! So you better leave if you know what's good for you!"

The panthers don't seem intimidated, so the boss continues to approach the girls until Lincoln slapped him on the side of the face so hard that it left a red mark on the cheek.

"That's right! That's what you get! Now let me make this clear: you mess with my family, you mess with me! So stay away from me and my sisters! Understand?!"

The panthers nervously nod.

"Good! Now I don't want to have to see your sorry faces here ever again!" Lincoln then lets out a big loud roar (like a lion) which causes the panthers to run away. From behind, the girls slowly approach their brother.

"Lincoln?" Lori asks. "Is…...is it you?"

"Who else would it be?"

"Lincoln…..you came back for us!"

"Of course I did. I couldn't let you guys get eaten alive."

"What made you change your mind?" Lana asked.

"You didn't give up on me. That proves you really care about me, the way I care about you. Then I remembered how much I needed you. We're a family and we stick together no matter what."

"Awww," Luna said. "Come here bro!"

The Louds all joined together for a group hug. "Still, I wish I could have something to eat." The girls then looked shocked at what their brother said.

Back at the beach, Harvey and the animals were preparing something. It appears to be a fruit pizza.

"There we go." Harvey took one slice of it and handed it to Lincoln. "Just one bite out of this should fill you up."

"Just one bite?"

"One bite."

Lincoln then took a single bite out of the fruit pizza slice.

"That's it. Chew," Harvey instructed. "Chew slowly. Savor it. Now swallow." Lincoln swallows the food and saw his sisters staring at him with hope in their eyes.

"Well?" Lori asked.

"What do you think bro?" Asked Luna.

"Pretty good, right?" Lynn said.

Finally, Lincoln gave an answer. "Yeah. It is good. It's really good! I love it! I love it!"

"That's great!" Lana started to feel a little worried. "But do you still feel hungry?"

"No….actually. I feel great! I don't feel like eating anyone anymore! I'm cured!" Lincoln then gave a hug to his little bird friend. "Thanks Harvey!"

"No problem." Harvey said. "Always glad to help."

Lana raises her hand. "Hey Harvey. I gotta ask. Where'd you learn how to make that? And how did you know that would work?"

"Oh you know, it's amazing what you can do with fresh fruit you find on an island. Plus, all he needed was a bite to eat."

"Well we literally can't thank you enough," Lori said.

Moments later, everyone was celebrating at the handmade shack that Lincoln made.

Fee steps forward. "Hey, Lincoln is it?"

"Yes, Fee?"

"I just wanted to say…... thank you for saving my brother, and the rest of our friends."

"And?"

"And I guess you're not such a loser after all."

"And?"

"And I was a real jerk to you guys."

"And?"

"I'm sorry."

"That's all I needed to hear."

"What do you say? Friends?"

"Friends." Lincoln shook Fee's hand before turning to his little sister. "Oh, and Lana? I'm sorry I bit your leg. I couldn't control myself. Can you ever forgive me?"

"Oh, Lincoln. Of course." She said hugging her brother. "I know you didn't mean it. Sorry this vacation didn't turn out like we planned."

"Are you kidding? This is one of the greatest adventures I've ever had! I met up with an old friend, got to eat a lot, defend off giant panthers! And the best part is that I got a chance to do it all with you guys."

"Yeah, it was pretty cool. Whether we roam or we stay at home, I don't care."

"As long as we're together as a family."

"Alright everyone! Settle down!" Lori announced. "I know we've all been through a rough time, but I would like to take this opportunity to thank a very special person of mine. Someone I'm proud who's part of our lives. Lincoln Loud? Will you please stand up?"

Lincoln gets up from his seat.

"Now I know you're not perfect, pretty much all the time, but I want you to know that I'm proud of you. You saved us all. And for that, we thank you. And I know we don't say this as much as we should, but we truly are grateful to have you as our brother."

"Thanks….and I know you girls aren't exactly perfect either, but I'm grateful to have you guys as my sisters."

Everyone cheers.

"I kinda wish there was a way we could get back home," Leni said.

"Yeah," Lincoln agrees. "But at least we're all back together again. Speaking of which, has anyone seen Lisa?"

"Siblings, great news." Lisa appears to be coming from a distance. "I have successfully signaled us a one way transportation back to Royal Woods."

Just as she said that, a bunch of rescue helicopters swooped in above their heads. "We have found the Louds! I repeat! We have found the Louds!" They let down a rope ladder and the siblings climbed up. However, Lincoln lagged behind for a few moments.

"Come on Lincoln!" Lana called. "Let's hustle!"

"I'll catch up in a sec! There's something I gotta do first!" Lincoln ran to Harvey and the others. "Hey Harvey! I just wanted to….."

"I know what you're gonna say Lincoln. And I'll miss you too. I guess this is goodbye. I just wish we could hang out more."

"But that's what I wanted to tell you. I want you guys to come along with us."

Harvey looks surprised. "You what?"

"Come along with us. You can see what Royal Woods is like and we can all hang out together. It'll almost feel like we're brothers."

"Lincoln, I don't know. I….."

"Harvey I know you're nervous, but you said so yourself: life's not about luxuries and material possessions. It's about spending time with the ones who care about you."

"I did say that, didn't I?"

"You could even bring your friends along too!"

"But what if they don't like us?"

"What? A polite young bird and his fun but crazy animal friends? What's there not to like? Besides, if you come with us, you could have a chance to make kids happy again."

"Really?"

"What do you say?"

"Alright! I'm in! Fee? Foo? Are you with me?"

Fee shrugged. "Eh, why not?"

"Yay!" Foo cheers.

With that, they all climbed onto the rope ladders and headed into the helicopters.

Just then,another thought came to Lincoln's mind. "You know, I was thinking. Maybe when we're out of school we could start visiting some other places."

"Yeah!" Lana agrees. "Like maybe Tremorton."

"Or Amity Park," Lucy adds.

"I would like to suggest Retroville as a possible destination," said Lisa.

"Maybe even Dimmsdale," Luan said.

"Or Ocean Shores," Lynn suggested.

"Or how about Plainville and Nearburg?" Lola said.

Lily babbles. "Kini ottom!" (Translation: Bikini Bottom).

"We might have to work out that one," Lincoln said.

"If you want," Harvey includes. "I could introduce you to my home in Littlebark."

"I'd like that. You know, I wouldn't even mind coming back here for a visit sometime."

"Ditto."

Together, the Louds and their new friends awaited for their arrival back home to Royal Woods.

And so as you would probably guess, the Louds are on their way back home. I know what you're thinking, maybe it's not exactly the same as the actual Madagascar movie ending, but personally, I think this one is just as enjoyable. But hang on tight, there's still one more chapter to go before this story is complete.
