Hey guys. Third chapter here. This is probably the where I'll dsicover if I really created something new or if I'm just ripping stuff from a random writter I've never read. Anyways, I hope you enjoy, and with nothing more to add
LEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet's gooooo
"Wait, what?" Lincoln asked
"Well, let's start with the beginning." Alice began creating a cloud, resembling a projector screen. "You have been through some rough times back when you were alive, and that resulted in a serie of facts…"
Dennis just popped up and destroyed the cloud. "We don't have time for this nonsense, we still have work to do," he turned towards Lincoln. "Look kid, when you killed yourself, with an intention of hurting most of your sisters, you got stuck in this reality"
"Do you have to be so harsh?" Alice asked. "He's just a little boy"
"I'm not in this position due to being polite," Dennis replied. "Besides, you saw what happened to him."
"Can you please stop fighting and explain what's going on?" Lincoln said, loudly
Dennis came closer to Lincoln. "*sigh* okay, we might have gone a little to fast, so I'll explain to you. As we said before, I'm Dennis, and this is Alice. We are your guide through this realm, to help you to be free"
Alice then began speaking. "I'm the one who believes in forgiveness and redemption"
"And I'm the one who believes in punishment and revenge," Dennis added
"And we are together to make sure you don't go totally angry, but also not totally nice
"I never agreed to that," Dennis said "I was going to handle this alone, but miss good hearted here had to come along"
"Oh come one," Alice said. " You know you need me"
"You know pretty well my opinions on your methods"
"Well at least I don't send the people I guide to hell"
"Hey, at least I make does who were already doomed to try to redeem themselves"
"I can see why you two are together, but what am I supposed to do?"
"Oh right," Alice said. "So, when some people die, out boss sends us to help him, to give him a second chance."
"So, you mean I will be resurrected?"
"That's basically the idea," Dennis said. " But, to be honest, I think you'd be better just haunting your family and get done with it."
"And I think he should forgive them and go to heaven," Alice added
"And that's why we make people alive again, so they choose whatever they will do," Dennis concluded
"Okay, so what do we do?" Lincoln asked
"First of all, let's find a good setting," Alice said, and both she and Dennis held Lincoln's arms, and they teleported to his grave. Then they headed to the woods by the side of the graveyard, and found a red four-pointed star, with a circle around it
"This is your set for the ritual," Dennis said " Now all we need are people to actually do it."
"And where are we going to find them," Lincoln asked
Alice and Dennis faced each other, and she made four clouds appears, each with a face of one of his sisters, Leni, Luna, Lucy and Lana.
"Ohhhh, right," Lincoln said "So I'll just wait until Lucy try to contact spirits and I can speak to her that way"
"That doesn't work," Alice said
"Really? But she said she had multiple successes" Lincoln answers
"If it really worked, there wouldn't be so much people questioning if it is true or not.
"Okay, so how am I supposed to communicate with them?" Lincoln asked
Dennis had grown a huge smile on his face and looked towards Alice
"*sigh* fine, you can teach him," She said as she vanished in the air
"YES, finally we will have some fun" Dennis said, punching the air "Come with me"
Lincoln and Dennis got out of the cemetery and began walking, or better, floating on the dark streets of Royal Woods. They both remained silent for a few minutes, before Lincoln broke the ice
"So, how long have you been working with this?" He asked
"Man, I'm on this business since humanity exists. However, there's much more work now. It seems that to many people are killing themselves over nothing. No offense, your case is different."
"If you have such experience, why are you so rude? Wouldn't be easier to be nice?" Lincoln asked
"Rude? Me?" Dennis asked. "That's because you haven't seen the third guy"
"What third guy?"
Dennis didn't even turned around. "When we were created, we were three: me, Alice and Lucio. He was the opposite of Alice, he believed in torture and suffering. After seeing what he was capable of doing, and how many souls he sent to hell, we banished him from the realm."
"So he doesn't exist anymore," Lincoln said, a little scared of the possibility of meeting this other entity
"There are some souls who claim that he still wanders around our world, but nothing more than rumors. But if you have any issues related to that, just call me or Alice. I know I fought her, but she can be very helpful."
"So if I call you guys, you will appear?"
"Yes. We are here to help, although I know my ways don't exactly show it. Ah, over there" Dennis pointed out to a person on the street
It was just a hobo, asking kindly enough for people if they could handle him some money. He wasn't having much success though, not many people gave him attention. Lincoln didn't understood why he was so important
"Now watch and learn," Dennis said, and he dragged Lincoln inside the man.
He saw himself in a giant black room, with the only things visible being himself, Dennis, and the guy just standing motionless.
"This is his consciousness. Usually, when people are broken emotionally, you can convince them to take care of their bodies. Otherwise, they won't give access. Now take a look"
Dennis went over the man and began talking to him, and after a couple minutes a big screen appeared in front of them, along with control panel.
"I told him I would get him money, and he accepted me. This is where we control his body. The screen is what he sees"
"Okay, but how can we get the money?" Lincoln asked
Dennis give a smile. "I've been through this before," he said. He spotted a man wearing pretty expensive clothes, so when he pass through, the hobo got up and manage to grab the wallet without the man noticing
"You're stealing?" Lincoln asked
"Just wait," Dennis said, grabbing on a microphone in the control panel. "Hey sir, you've dropped your wallet"
The man on the screen turned around, and reached for his pocket, which was empty. He made an grateful expression, thanked the hobo and handed him a hundred bucks.
"Wow, that was easy" Lincoln said
"Centuries of training," Dennis replied." Now let's go"
When they left the body, the sun was beginning to rise, and Lincoln saw the hobo sleeping in the street
"Hey, how did he slept so fast?" He asked
"Possessing a human being consumes a lot of energy, since they get stronger, faster and, depending on the soul, smarter, so after we abandon the body, they just pass out. Judging by the time we spent and the little actions we made, he'll be back to normal in a matter of minutes."
"Okay then, but what do we do know?" Lincoln asked
"Alice will help you with that, I have other souls to help" Dennis just vanished in the air
"Wait, how do I…" He remembered what Dennis said earlier. "ALICE," he screamed
The blue specter just appeared in front of him
"Hi Lincoln, how can I help you?" She asked
"Well, Dennis though me about possession, but I don't know what to do now"
"Well, our best bet would be the school. Maybe you can have a situation where you leave your message. I would suggest Lucy."
"Why?"
"While you were with Dennis, I went past all of your family's daily life. You'll understand really soon"
The sun was now clear in the sky. It was between 7 and 8 in the morning, so Lincoln and Alice began heading to the school, which wasn't actually that far. They began walking through the corridors until they found Lucy wandering through the corridor's, probably heading to her first class, alone, with her head down, close to the walls. Basically, what you would expect from A typical Lucy's day at school
That is, until she pass in front of a group of boys just hanging out. The tallest, which was probably the leader of the bunch, saw Lucy passing in front of them
"Hey, Loud-freak" He shouted
Lucy simply ignored, since that usually solved the problem. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. The boy stood up, trew Lucy's books and the ground, and then punched her, making her fall on the ground
"DIDN'T YOU HEARD ME?" he asked
"*sigh* what do you want, Gordon?" Lucy asked, while grabbing her books
"I've heard that squirrel you call a brother died huh? Who forgot to feed him?"
The crowd around began to form a circle, which Lucy wasn't able to find an exit. Some began laughing, other were just shocked. Lucy began to get angry
"You know nothing about what happened to my brother," She said, in a slightly angry tone
"Oh, but I know,'' Gordon replied " I received the news, he hanged himself on his room. What was the deal? To wierd of a sister to live with?"
"You know nothing. HE-he- he loved me"
"Then he has some really weird way of showing all his love," more people were laughing.
"The spirits will make you pay" Lucy threatened
"Oh, I'm so scared. What are they going to do? Jump on my face and scream? You're nothing loud." Gordon landed a blow on her stomach, making her roll on the ground in pain. The rest of his group begin delivering small kicks in her, while she tried to protect herself
Then Gordon asked his gang to back up, as he slowly approached Lucy.
Lincoln saw all the scene, at first he was shocked, but after all that fight, he went into Lucy's mind, and found her standing in endless darkness.
"Go talk to her, offer help," Alice said
Lincoln, still in his ghost form, positioned himself in front of Lucy, which was when she gave any sign of life
"L-Lincoln?" She asked
"Do you want those bullies to learn their lesson?" Lincoln asked
"Bu-bu-but how are you...?"
"Do you need help from your brother?"
She remained silent and simply nodded. The white screen and the controls appeared, and lucky enough he had played video games with similar controls. He saw through the screen that Gordon was getting near. He lifted his arm to lend the final blow in Lucy's face.
"Maybe now you'll learn to not be such a freak" Gordon said
He swinged his face as fast as he could, but it got grabbed by Lucy's fragile hand. She simply got up from the floor, stared through her hair at Gordon, and Lincoln spoke through the microphone, making Lucy speak.
"Wrong choice, pal," she said
And this is it for the chapter. Things will stay wierd for a while in the Loud family, so let's see how Lincoln will behave
