"This doesn't end here!" Lincoln charged towards Lupa. "I'm starting with you!" Linka blocked his path. "Get out of the way, Linka." By then, Lori and Lynn stood beside her. "Lincoln, you have to stop." He growled. Lana and Lola stood around him. "The only baddie here... is you." Lincoln was surrounded. "No... You can't do this. YOU CAN'T!"

"We're all going back. Alive. You'd lead us to die in your personal wars. This isn't even your own. Stay, live by the new rules... Or leave and suffer, with no rules at all." Everyone switched to Luna's side. Lincoln turned away, exiting the circle. "Then I'll go..." No one was surprised. "Take care of yourself, bro." Lynn placed a hand on her head. "Linc..." Luna turned to the others. "Come on guys, its time we go..."

Later

"So, Lana, what did your results say?" Lana looked at her small sheet of paper. "I'm 316 miles per hour. Doesn't sound too fast, but its good enough. Since I'm still growing, I'll get more faster. Is yours the same?" Lola nodded. "Awesome, speed twins unite!"

Linka had taken her own room, once Lincoln's. "Do you miss him?" Luan entered. Linka was a bit startled. She stared at the bedside. "I do. I miss him. But he hurt me. He let me go..." Luan sat beside her. "I know what he did, Linka. But he didn't try to hurt you. He cared for you." Linka grabbed the pillow.

"Then why doesn't it feel like it does?" Luan pulled Linka closely. "Linka, he's-"

She began to tear up. "Why? Why did he leave?! Why did he leave me alone?!" The girl began to cry uncontrollably. "He left! He left us! Left me! And he never said goodbye!" Luan looked away from Linka's pain. "I loved him, like he was my father..."

Luan moved the bag Linka hadn't spotted yet into view, right by her feet. "If he didn't care about you, this wouldn't be here. Lincoln went to town and got some things. For everyone. Here's your stuff." Luan took out an orange shirt and blue skirt from the Macy's bag, and handed them to Linka. "Is this really for me?!" She nodded with a smile. "He did this for you, Linka. He loves you. But he's a rock, he won't really acknowledge it." Linka stared at her new clothes. "Dad..."

"But wait, there's more!" She took out a familiar stuffed rabbit. She gasped. "Bun-Bun!" She pulled the stuffed rabbit into a loving hug. "I missed him so much!" She hugged Luan. "This is perfect! I..." Luan patted her. "Attagirl. If you ever have doubts, remind yourself with Bun-Bun."

Luan left the room. She grabbed two other bags left in the hallway and picked them up. "Lynn! Luna!"

"Oh, cool! Just like the good old days!" Luna lifted the purple skull shirt close to her face. "Too much death..." She dropped it. "I don't know..." A red and white shirt and red shorts stood ready for Lynn, underneath Luna's clothes. Lori's known style, and Luan's attire was in the other bag. "Lincoln did this, for us."

"Is he trying to say he's sorry?"

"Luna..."

"Dude, I can't. Even if I wear this, I can't accept it. We lost Lily. And its too big for an apology. When did he even do this?"

"He brought them over, through Lola..." Luan grabbed Lynn and Lori's clothes. "My current outfit is trash. I guess I'll wear it." She left the room. Linka was in the hallway, wearing Lincoln's trademark attire. "I'm guessing Lisa knew about Lily, when she found Lori?" L

"Yes." Linka told her. "She told me, but it slipped from my mind. There were alot of things I had to remember."

Luan and Linka entered Lynn's room. "Hey, sis. Look here." Luan tossed Lynn the clothes. "Is this my old jersey?"

"Nope. Even better. Its a new jersey in your size. The shorts are right here." Luan threw the shorts. "Wow, that's neat! Thanks!"

"Yeah, Lynn. Glad you dig. We're going to show Lori hers."

Elsewhere

Lincoln sat on the floor. Lana had spared a few minutes of her time to refurbish his safehouse, when she had been summoned. Clyde's body was gone, but Lana gagged a little, and was more disgusted. But she still did him the favor, to keep him away. "I'm not the villain."

She had other thoughts. "You're definitely no hero, though. I'm glad you didn't ask Lola to help. She actually liked Clyde, more than I did. But, whatever happened, isn't my concern. Shit's clean. We're done."

"I'll need a final favor." Lana crossed her arms. "I don't think I'll-"

"Free them. Free the clones. It should be easy for you. Bring everyone back here. Tell them it's my doing." He pointed to a bag. "Look in there. You'll see you can trust me." Lana moved to the bag. Upon opening it, she found a red hat inside.

"Oh..." She looked at Lincoln. "Not everyone will be happy to see you. Luna's still mad. I am, too."

"I realize that. I'm doing this for Linka, mainly. I'm not so unreasonable, I wish you guys could see it from my point of view. But I hope it never comes to that." He cleared his throat. "But also, you can't go back there, after they're all free. A step in the right direction. Go now."

Lana nodded. "I'll do my best..." Lana sped off.

Even with the whole apartment complex going through a beautiful makeover, it still felt lonely. He hoped the plan would work. Everything had to be mended. "Damn it... I really fucked up."

"You can say that again." A voice came from behind. A figure, in full black, sporting a mask, made its way into the light.

Not this surprise again.

"Who goes there?" The person stopped. Lincoln jumped to his feet. "I know where Lisa is."

Lynn appeared, after a dash of white light. "What the hell, Lana?"

"Its been awhile. Like I've said, I know where Lisa is." Lynn turned to the figure.

"Where am I?"

The figure waved at Lynn. "Hey, there, sis."

Under the mask is- No, impossible. But, I was told she wasn't dead, so maybe...

"Lucy?!" The response of this figure was Lynn's answer. Lincoln's jaw dropped. "What?! But-but you-we-" The figure took off the mask, revealing it was indeed Lucy underneath. Her face had burn scars, but she was very much alive.

Lucy sighed. "Its a long story. Basically, I worked for her until I escaped, the second I learned about what she had planned for you guys. She was going to put you in her own little sites. But I see you're aware of that."

"Jesus... Everyone thinks-"

"So, call them. I've watched you for days. I know enough." Lucy sighed.

"Actually, its complicated now." Everyone appeared.

"Then, undo it. So, you ready to catch her?"

"Actually, I have a better idea..."

Lupa looked around. "What's your game, Lincoln?" He pointed to the door. "You three..." Luna gulped. "Are free to go now." He handed Lupa a credit card from a small flatbox hidden under a removable floorboard. "There's three thousand in there. All you do is-" She took it from him. "I know how it works, idiot."

"So, you really are a Lucy clone, aren't you?" Lupa gave a thumbs up. "But the three of us, we also have Lincoln's DNA in our bloodstream."

Lincoln gagged. "Wait, what?" Luan laughed.

"So you're saying..." Lupa nodded.

"We are what would be if Lucy, Lynn and Luan had incestuous relationships with Lincoln. The daughters of sin." Lynn mildly blushed. Lincoln cleared his throat. "Okay... Moving on."

Liby and Lacy made it out the door. "Thanks. Finally gonna get cigarettes. You're not so bad after all." Lupa waved to Luna. "Thanks for standing up for us. I'll see you all around." The teen girl left, closing the door behind her.

"So, Lucy smokes, huh?"

"Don't." Lucy said.

"So, how did you make it out alive?" Lucy answered.

Lisa sat in her cell. Its been three days since her capture by the Agency. Lincoln send her location to them, thanks to Lucy. There was not much to do. Finally sensing the time has come, she pressed several buttons on her glasses. The communications went up. "Vince, you there?" A voice replied.

"On standby, waiting on you."

"Its time. Fry the area. And hurry! I can overthrow this place and make it my own! Then its bye-bye Louds." She waited for a few seconds. Everything then went dark. The cell opened on its own, and Lisa walked out. "Showtime."

Everyone was throwing a party to celebrate Lisa's downfall. "Cheers! The nightmare is over. And we can start new, separate lives. Here's to peace!" Everyone raised their glass, of various beverages. "And to all, a happy and better life." Lincoln spoke. He raised his glass. "To Lily Loud, who shall never be forgotten. Everyone paused briefly. Then, Luna raised hers. "To... Lily!" Everyone followed along. "Good plan to give them the location of Lisa." Lincoln nodded. "They care more about her than us. Its good to feel like we're all home again."

Lincoln high fived Lucy. "Its over." Linka sipped her hot chocolate. "Yay!" She squealed. Lynn heard a car come to a screech outside. Lynn peeked out the window. A man in a leather jacket and black jeans, exiting a big, gray truck, was carrying something tube shaped. She squinted. "Holy shit, that's a-" The man fired the rocket launcher at the building. "DUCK!" Lincoln turned to the window, seeing Lynn quickly get to cover. Then, everything went fiery.

AN: Cliffhanger. What next? Lisa Loud, Vince Ventura, and the nonstop madness that continues for the Louds. They'll have to stay together to keep surviving.

Now that this happened, things get a bit strained, even as the walls are being rebuild. God awful. The clones won't reappear too much from here on out. And what Lupa saw, she'll never tell anyone what it was. But that will be revealed. Of course, the when and where must be a surprise.

Dear Lucy has returned. Only one flashback sequence for her. And that leaves one more Loud unaccounted for... If she's alive, that is. But who knows?

Oh, that's right. I do. ;)

Anyways, hope I did good with this.

Next: Retribution, another four parter, arriving Friday.

Followed by X, huehuehuehue.
