Lincoln led Lori to Grand Venture State Park with the ship. "This baby's fast enough. I have to give it a name." Lori felt uneasy on the ride. "I feel queasy", she told him. Lincoln began to set it down. "Genius of you to speculate they'd come here. Its our favorite place for a vacation. Its so peaceful, so beautiful, so..." The ship stopped.

"We'll continue on foot. We have the element of surprise. When they come, we'll have been here, lying in wait."

It was a long while, before Lincoln spotted them, but two additional figures with them. "Lori, its them. Let's go." Lincoln watched one of the unknown figures begin to exhibit and use superspeed. "What the hell? Are you-?"

"Yeah, I'm also seeing this." Lincoln picked up his pace. By then, two of the clones had been talen down. The third had not participated. The two people came into view. Lincoln had to squint, not believing his eyes.

"What should we do with them?"

"That's no longer your concern. Those abominations are my responsibility." The twins turned around, and were shocked to see Lincoln and Lori coming towards them. "Lincoln?! Is that really you?!" The twins began to ran towards them, until they noticed him draw a gun and aim at them. "Wait, what are you doing?! Lincoln?!" He fired at White-Hair. The bullet was redirected by Brown-Hair, now acting to defend. "Stop! We give up! Don't take us back. Don't lock us in those lonely cells again." Brown-Hair tended to Light-Brown's aid. "Are you okay?" Light-Brown nodded, and got up. She was about to continue, but Brown-Hair halted her. "There's too many Louds. We can't win..."

White-Hair sat up. She looked at the four siblings. "They found us. What are the fucking chances?"

Lincoln lowered his gun. "Well, that won't work." The twins slowly walked towards him. "Hi..." They both said. Lincoln pushed past them. "Talk later." Lori gave them a warm hug. "Its been so long! I thought you two were..."

Leni and the twins watched Lori drive off. "Leni, when will they come back?" Lola looked into Leni's eyes for a sign. "They'll fix Luan, and they'll be here soon." She silently whispered something. Lana looked at the fire that kept going. "My pets... I have to know if they made it out..." Lana ran behind the house. "Lana, be, like, careful!" Lola ran behind her twin. "I'll keep an eye on her." Leni stayed in the front.

Lana looked around. None of her pets were there. No Geo, no Walt, no Cliff, no Charles. Not even hops. Lana searched inside the doghouse. Lola stood, looking at Lana go in a frantic mode. "Hops isn't here! HOPS IS STILL INSIDE!" Lola grabbed her, being the only obstacle that stood in the way. "Lana, heal!" The tomboy kept trying to enter the burning house. "Maybe they all escaped! And are far from here!" Lana quit moving, considering that possibility. "You're right!" Lola let go. "They could be in the woods!" Lana scampered off with such speed.

Leni, still waiting, saw Lana run off, followed by Lola. She, too, ran after them. "Guys, where are you going?"

"I'm so glad you're safe, after all this time..."

Lincoln turned once, still seeing them locked in the hug. "Ugh..." White-Hair sighed with him. "Sentiment. I hate it." Lincoln observed her.

"Shut up, you." He waved around his gun. "No doubt about it. The three clones, here you all are." Brown-Hair placed her hand on his. "Lincoln, we did nothing wrong..."

This was intriguing. White-Hair and Brown-Hair were combat efficient, and were ready to be placed in any war zone. Light-Brown was just as soft as Linka, yet, able to act in defense. Pacifist personality. He pulled her away. "What do you remember?" He asked her. "Why's our house a crisp? What happened? Where's Mr. Coconuts?" A Luan clone...

"He's charcoal, now. Cry me a fucking river, why don't you?" She looked down in sadness.

"Hey, asshole. That's my sister. And her memories haven't activated yet. Ours have." White-Hair was blunt to the core. Much like him, if he wanted to be. No, when he wanted.

"Oh, that's why you're-" He understood it now. White-Hair spoke again. "And I thought Lisa was the genius." She sighed. "I could use a cigarette."

He placed White-Hair and Light-Brown on their knees, and tied their hands together. "Don't move."

White-Hair laughed. "We have no choice, anyways."

"Lori, ring the others up. I'm sure-" The familiar sound of the engines rang out. Their ship was flying low, right above the trees. "That was fast."

It made its soft landing. Out came the other four. Luan was limping about. "Hey, you shouldn't be here!" Lori and the twins met with them.

"I can still walk. And there was no way I was staying out of this. Not them, either." Lynn and Luna gave hearty 'Yeahs' out. Linka had her eyes on the twins. "Lana? Lola?"

They were older, and yet...

Lola observed Linka. "And who might this be? She has Lincoln's hair. But..." The twins turned to the other clones Lincoln towered over. "This is Lisa's doing, right?"

Luna was surprised. "Wait, how did you get to that conclusion?" The twins raised both hands. "Well..." Lana began. On cue, they both vibrated their hands at an astounding level. "Whoa..." Lynn's eyes filled with wonder and excitement.

"Just a feeling..."

"Dude, that's so cool! How does that work, exactly?"

"Well, everything is more still, and its harder to run. But its just normal, to us, anyways. We're like cars; if we keep running, we'll run out of fuel. As in, food." Luna nodded.

"Righteous. So, I take it you guys were locked away too?" The twins nodded.

"Me and Lynn were, too."

Lie to them, all you want. The truth must not be shared. Not yet. Not yet, champ.

"Yeah, it was hell." Lynn messed with Lana's hair. "So strange to see you without a hat."

"Is it? I never thought about it." The siblings shared a laugh. Then, they stopped.

"I miss Leni." Lori rubbed her arm.

"We all do." Lincoln broke the circle, both hands on White-Hair and Light-Brown. "If we're done with the reunion, can we focus on the task at hand?" He set them down.

Luna lifted White-Hair. "Alright, let's go." She took White-Hair and headed for the ship. Lincoln called out. "Where are you going?"

"We're taking them to the Agency." Lincoln dropped Light-Brown.

"Luna, they are not going anywhere!" She stopped.

Lynn noticed that Light-Brown was her clone. "Its almost like looking into a mirror."

"What the hell are you talking about? These guys are dangerous, bro."

Lincoln agreed. "My point exactly. They're menaces."

Luna looked at him with confusing. "Then what's the problem?"

Lincoln turned to Light-Brown, held by Lynn. "We don't have to tell them. We can just..." Lynn placed her hands on her clone's head. "Luna, you've seen what they can do. We have to-"

"Have to what?" She then figured it out. "Guys! We're not savages! Lynn, I can't be seriously hearing this from you!"

Brown-Hair was holding onto Luan. "Luna's right. Even if they're bad, we don't have to do such things. This one seems harmless. Don't forget, Linka is a clone, as well. You're saying we kill her too..." Linka stepped back.

"K-Kill me?" She ran behind Lincoln.

"Stop it! No one's going to die! We take these guys back. They'll be studied. That's all there is to it. Luan, bring that one over here. We are leaving."

Luan, taking Brown-Hair, walked over to the ship.

Lincoln fired off a shot, making them stop. "Hand the clones over!" They slowly turned to him. "Linc-"

"I won't repeat myself. Hand them, now!" He aligned the sights to Luna.

"Lincoln, what are you doing?!" Lori moved to his side.

"Don't turn against us." Luna began to sweat, not able to predict his actions. It was a stalemate. "Be reasonable..." Luan was trembling slightly. "Lincoln, stand down, bro."

He's going to fire!

"Luan", she whispered to her. "I'm gonna let go of this clone, and I want you to take her into the ship. Got it?" Luan moved her fingers vertically, behind Brown-Hair. Luna released her grip. "NOW!"

Luan pulled both Brown-Hair and White-Hair into the ship. "Damn it, Luna!" Lincoln let rounds fly. Luna was struck with several ones. She charged at Lincoln, claws and tail emerging.

Lana was amazed. "Ooooooh..."

Lincoln braced himself, as the others moved back. Luna rammed into him, throwing him on his back. She began to scratch hher way into his chest. Lori, seeing enough, grabbed Luna by her neck, and slammed her on the ground. "That's enough, Luna!" She roared at Lori.

"Glad to see who's side you're falling on, sis." Lori let go.

"Lincoln knows what's best, Luna. We don't know the limits of their powers. There's a reason why out of all of them, Linka was the only one able to run around freely. Don't you see?" Luna scrambled to her feet. "We have them captured. They're no threat anymore. We made sure of that."

Without warning, Lori, Lincoln and the twins all went flying backwards. Linka had freed Light-Brown from Lynn's clutches, siding with Luna. "Let's go!" The three made their way towards the ship. Linka briefly looked at Lincoln, who returned the glaze, before going inside.

"Looks like your clone took a side." The four watched the ship leave, as Lincoln walked to the woods, in anger.

"Linc-" Lynn was stopped by Lori. "Leave him. Its not losing the clones he's angry at, right now."

"Then, what is it?" Lynn faced Lori. "Its gotten personal for him. Dear sweet little Linka has went against him."

Lincoln began to punch the trees, nonstop.

Fucking shit. You're supposed to be keeping an eye out on... Fuck.

His knuckles began to bleed, but he wiped it off.

Lori approached. "Beating yourself up won't help. Come on, stop moping around. You'll get her back. She just wants for them to live. She made a choice. We all did today." She gently placed her hand on his shoulder. "They might be heading there, right now."

"The twins!" Lincoln raced over to them. "Can you carry a person with you?" They looked at each other. "We've never had to do that, before. We can carry bags and such, but... That hasn't worked. It might be dangerous."

"Can you guys form a tornado or something?" They both nodded.

"It takes both of us to do it." Lola smiled. "I'm more than just a pretty face nowadays."

"I have a plan. But we don't have long. Huddle up." Lincoln shared his plan with them, while the shadow, watching them through binoculars, yards away, kept observing the entire scene.

Interesting...

AN: And so, a brawl, there is.
