The ship rattled about. Brown-Hair had her arms around the other clones. Luna could not help but feel more... hurt at the sight of this love that did not apply to her.

"Linka, why did you side with me? I thought you were gonna stay. You were going to be safe."

"Why does my dad think they're bad? They don't have to be taken of anything. But, they don't have to be taken anywhere. I don't want them to be locked away like they have before. We all want to be free. Please don't report them. Look at them. Look at her, showing her love for her sisters. We're all bound together. We're all family."

Luan leaned on Luna's shoulder. "How's the leg?"

"I'm fine. It doesn't hurt all too bad."

Luna was removing the bullets from her skin. "I wish I was bulletproof.

"Luan watched her sister burrow into her skin. It was a disturbing sight to bare. "So, what are we going to do?"

"I thought I knew what I was doing, but I don't know anymore. Hearing Linka put it like that, could I really put the three in the same hell I was once in? I thought Lynn would agree, seeing as how she was also a prisoner in another place. I feel alone again, in all honesty. It isn't enough with you on my side. All the others want the clones destroyed. They don't see what I see. They don't know what I've been through. We're all just victims of Lisa's agenda, one way or another."

Luan turned her focus on the clones. "Do you guys have names?" The three clones looked at each other. White-Hair replied for them. "No."

"Bloody Hell, you need some. Who's Link-B of you lot?" Brown-Hair raised her hand. "Hmmm. B. How about... Liby?" Liby smiled and nodded. "Righteous. Who's Link-C?" Light-Brown answered.

"You're Lacy. How's that?" Luan caught on.

"I get it. You name them something that contains their designated letter. That's creative."

White-Hair sighed. "Hmmmm..." Luna pondered. "She reminds me of Lucy. If I didn't know any better, I'd say she was a Lucy clone. I know! How about Ludy?"

"Fuck that. Call me Lupa."

"Lupa? Why?"

"Chalupas. They're delicious." Luna turned to Luan. "Lucy loved those. Is it possible-?" Luan cut her off. "No, its not possible..."

"Dude, also, they're teenagers. But Linka is a child. I'm... Curious."

Lupa eyed Linka. "You, what is your name?" Linka stuttered.

"Lah- Linka." Lupa motioned her to come over to her. "You're one of us, too." Linka slowly approached her, and stopped right in front of her. "You don't know. Not yet. But the memories will kick in." She turned to Liby. "Hers hasn't either."

"So, why did you go back home if you knew all along, Lupa?" The curious question spoken. Luna waitied for an answer. "That's the thing. Me and Lacy here; we knew what we would find. Liby didn't. We came here, requested by her." Lupa put her arms around Liby. "I told you we shouldn't have gone..." She rubbed Liby's head in a sisterly way. "No way we could tell her what happened. So, showing her was the only way. Even then, it wasn't easy."

She sighed, before continuing again. "Me and Lacy went inside. We checked it out. There was..."

She stopped.

Lupa slowly made her way upstairs. Mostly everything was blacker than her implanted memories helped her recall. Lacy waited downstairs. "What, not coming?" Lupa looked into the hallway.

"I'm fine here..." Lupa continued forward. "What the fuck are we doing here? There's nothing waiting for us here." Lacy shouted back. "We're just pretending for Not-Luan. You didn't have to actually go up. I can't stand being in here any longer." Lupa checked the rooms, from the youngest to oldest one's rooms. At Lucy and Lynn's, she looked around. "Poems..." She looked at some burnt books. The first one was a pile of ashes within the thick covers. "Damn it." She grabbed another, seeing only parts of pages have survived. "Ugh." She tossed it down.

From behind, she heard a creaking in another room. "What the hell..." She returned to the hallway, listening closely. Nothing. "Probably just a rat." She headed to Luan and Luna's room, when she heard a longer creaking this time. It was coming from Lori and Leni's room. She redirected to their room. She gently pushed the door open. "Hey, what's going on up there? What's taking so long?" Lupa lied. "Nothing. I'll be down in a bit. Or you can come up here instead." She heard the obvious reply. "Pass."

Lupa walked inside. Everything was more deader inside. But there was nothing visible that made the sound. As she turned away, she heard it more clearer. The bed moved. Something was behind the bed. Lupa slowly advanced, rising in fear. The closer she got, the more slower she moved. It wasn't until the thing behind the bed was fully visible. Lupa then realized what she was looking at, and gave a horrified expression. "Oh my god..."

"There was nothing. Everything's lost."

Luna was placing two and two together. She nudged at Luan. "This means Lisa got the DNA for the clones sometime after we split. And we already know how Linka happened."

"What still bugs me is how those two..." Luan pointed and Lupa and Lacy. "...know everything. But Linka and Liby don't. Why is that?"

Lupa shrugged her shoulders. "Beats me."

"One last thing. Linka said your chambers were always closed. Did Lisa set you loose, or-?"

"No, they opened. And we got out. No one was around. So we came home. We're surprised that Liby here doesn't have everything. We thought it was something that Lisa miscalculated. Looking at Linka here, maybe its not. We don't know everything. Just like you guys. So, where are we going?"

"We're turning you over. Its likely, if you have no strings that she's controlling you with, you have nothing to fear. Maybe we'll all live in the same level."

"You call that living?" Luan had her arms crossed.

Just then, the ship went into its alert mode. "What the fuck-?" It began to spin out of control. "Hold on!" Luna made her way to the front. She sat in the front seat. "How do I-?" She looked out the window. "FUCK, BRACE YOURSELVES!" The ground below grew alarmingly closer. Right before impact, Luna ran to grab Luan and Linka, attempting to shield them. The ship made a hard landing.

Lana found herself in the outskirts of town. "Cliff! Charles!" She followed the treeline. Lola was out of breath, atruggling to keep up. "Lana!" The tomboy slowed down, beginning to scan around the environment. "Lana!" Lola was finally able to slow down. "They're-" Lana ran towards the trees. "Lana..." Lola turned around. They had outran Leni. "We need to go back! Lori might have returned." Lana did not take notice. "They're not here. They could be anywhere. I'm sure they're fine. They have to be. They-" Lola's hands trembled. The huge fire that nearly claimed her life was-

"Lana, let's go. We'll find them. Leni probably lost her way around." The teary tomboy then bolted deeper into the woods, with a secret amount of stamina. "Hey, stop!" Lola went after her.

Lana and Lola gave each other a hearty high five. "I'm sure they're fine. We reversed the twister we formed." Lana approached the damaged ship. "Wait, heel. I'll bring Lincoln and the others. Don't show yourself, or they'll run." Lola sped away. Lana dashed behind a tree, looking on.

Luan made her way out, carrying Linka on her shoulder. The clones emerged after, with Lupa and Lacy, who broke free from their tied up hands, carrying the unconscious Luna outside. They set her down gently. "What now? I'm not walking." Lupa looked around. They had crashed in the woods. "What the hell brought us down? There's no rainstorm that I can see."

The familiar flash of light went noticed by Lupa. "Round up on me!" Lupa and Lacy went back-to-back. "What's going on?" Luan grabbed Linka. "Was it-?"

Lincoln appeared. He was vomiting. "Damn, that's worse that the rides at Dairyland!" He wiped the stains of puke from his lips and looked up. "You!" Lynn and Lori appeared beside him. Luan began to shake Luna. "Wake up, wake up, wake up!" Luna was out.

"Nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide." Lincoln slowly approached them. Luan decided to act. She placed herself in between him and the clones. "LINCOLN, STOP!" She screamed in her loudest tone that stopped even him.

"Be reasonable. They're not... They aren't doing Lisa's work. And they acted in self defense. They're beings, too. They're like Linka. Let them live!" Linka began to walk towards him. Luan stopped talking completely. Linka looked up at him. "I have all your memories..." The unexpected happened.

Linka jumped up, delivering unto him, a hard blow, striking his chin. She didn't stop there. The little girl went all out on him. As Lynn tried to intervene, she found herself frozen in place. Luan turned to see who, from Lupa and Lacy, was doing this. She noticed both of them were staring at Liby, who was finally acting. "I know everything..." She said.

Lupa and Lacy went on the offensive. "No! No more fighting!" Luan kept pleading, to no avail.

Lana and Lola tackled Lacy. Lupa and Liby were occupied with Lynn and Lori. Lincoln was dodging Linka's attack. "Stop it! I don't want to hurt you!" He kept stepping backwards, as the swinging continued. "That's funny, coming from the guy who wants to kill my sisters." He stopped, and caught one of her fists. "They're not your sisters, Linka." She punched with her other arm, only for Lincoln to catch it as well. "But you're no father of mine, either. So don't play father figure with me. I don't need you." He pushed her away, sending her to the ground.

"You need guidance, girl." She got up and aimed for another strike.

"You're not getting me killed. Where's Lily, Lincoln? WHERE'S LILY, LINCOLN?"

Lynn and Lori stopped upon hearing Linka. The twins let go of the badly hurt Lacy. "Wh-what's she talking about, Lincoln?" Lupa looked onwards, picking up Lacy.

Luan was now speechless. How does she know?! Did Lisa know all along?!

Everyone surrounded him. Linka laughed. "This stops now. Let us live. We deserve freedom as much as you do." Lincoln felt the eyes of everyone stare. Lynn looked at Luan. "You lied to us. Both of you. Where's Lily, Linc?" Luan began to cry. "Guys, she got away from me at one time, and-"

"She found me, and she-" He looked at Lori. "She gave her life, saving me."

This hit everyone hard, even the clones. Time stopped, for several moments, until Luna shoved her way towards Lincoln, with the clear red in her eyes. She grabbed him tightly, digging into her palms, and bleeding while being angry and crying at the same time. "You killed our baby sister? You are a fucking monster..." She pushed him, and down he fell, not making an effort to get back up. Lori then remembered that entire scenario. She then kicked him. "WAS THAT THE GIRL WHO TACKLED ME?!" He didn't answer. "TWERP, WAS IT?!" Lori turned to the others. "I saw her once... For the last time..." She sniffed loudly, turning away. "How could I not have known? Why didn't I...?"

Luna signaled for the Agency. "Request pickup, lock on my signal. Over." Luan stood beside Lincoln. "Its not his fault. Its mine. She slipped away from me and-"

"Luan, please shut it. Not now..."

Lynn then remembered something.

"Lisa and her protégé have Lily held captive. They subjected her to-"

Lynn brushed away the words Older Luan had told her. It wasn't even possible at this time. Lily was gone. And Lincoln made it so. She shook her head.

It wasn't for a long period of silence, mixed with the electrical shorting sounds that a few other ships had arrived.

AN: Ball's been dropped. And damn, does it hit home.
