Lisa ran, after Lori let her go. She hid herself in a bush and, from beneath, pulled away the grass layer and entered through the dark hole to her secret lab, far from the house.
"DEREK, close secret entrance one-nine and activate the lights!"
"Yes, Lisa."
The lights around came on. Her beautiful palace from underneath, too big for the genius. A row of high tech computers were underneath four monitors that took up most of the wall.
In a separate room on the right was the chemical lab. Lisa had also an assortment of gadgets in an armory on the left.
"Let's get to work..."
August 4th, 2020
The infrared mode in her glasses came in handy again, patiently awaiting her opportunity in the form of James Shepherd, one of the world's amazing scientists the world has ever known, but actually inferior to Lisa. This would be her puppet, to set everything she needed to create her huge behemoth of a dream.
She set everything up to convince him. Pie charts, funding for the project, and all the research she had worked on for a few years now.
The scientist came, after two hours of making Lisa wait. She kept her natural attire, trading up for the bigger sizes. Lisa surprised him, but just calmly.
"C-Can I help you?"
Lisa opened her arms flatly. "I want you to look around your room. Look at all this, tell me what you see."
Shepherd walked around, looking at all of Lisa's exhibits.
"This is all very intriguing. You created all this?"
"That would be correct. And I plan to further my research, with what I propose here."
"Vial... Corporation. I like the sound of that. But... This is a really big achievement to succeed in. Do you know how much time and money this could take?"
"Minimum of three to four years, I am aware. I can take care of everything. All you have to do is be my puppet, that it's all your doing."
"My doing? What about you?"
"I'll be working on everything. If we're questioned, I'll can pass myself off as a protege to you."
"You... Taking care of everything? Ha, I can't see that. I'm sorry-"
"You shouldn't judge books by their covers, Mr. Shepherd."
"What the- Who said that?"
Lisa pulled a round, gray object for him to see. It looked like a cookie ice cream sandwich, only flatter. "This is my artificial intelligence I've created."
"Artificial... Whoa. Okay, maybe you're more than meets the eye. If you come back with the funding, I'll do it, I can go ahead and start this up."
"I'm glad you've accepted. Now, I must bid you farewell, for I must get back to my lab."
"You have a... Of course you do."
"Good day, sir." She let herself out.
Shepherd headed to his room.
But, in all seriousness, can she really get that big a funding for this?"
He entered his room, and froze in place, seeing stacks of money all around his bed. It was a maze of green. All of them were hundred dollar bills.
"Well, that's impressive."
December 3rd, 2020
"There are seven facilities currently in construction. Its going to take a long while, especially with all this heavy enforcements within the building. You really must be out to change the world."
Lisa took another sip from the coffee, sitting outside at a Starbucks. "I'll say. I can't afford anyone to break in and unveil all my projects."
"You continue to amaze me. I've seen young people take an interest in science, but not like this. No, you truly are something else."
"Trust me, I have more surprises in store for the future."
"I bet you do. The construction company also tells me they'll be done in late 2022 to early 2023."
"That's a long wait. But enough time to get a head start on some of my projects."
"I see you waste no time at all. You go to school?"
"Let's not get personally social."
"Oh?"
"Anyways, cheers, James, to the creation of a better world."
"Cheers, Lisa."
February 26th, 2021
"Pull up everything on the victims. Backgrounds, histories, relatives. Cross reference them with skills I can use."
"Right away, Lisa."
Footage of the Golden Gate Bridge bombing played in Lisa's middle computer. "My brother, the Freight. How poetic."
"Out of all of them, I only matched a qualifying candidate to serve as your second-in-command."
"Show me on the monitors."
All four huge screens turned on, showing the ID picture of a young man.
"Vince Mira Ventura, born on July 3rd, 2001. Father and stepmother have backgrounds."
"Show me the father's."
"Retrieving data. Retrieved."
The ID was replaced by a rapsheet.

"That's alot of operations. Give me insight on the family."
"Vincent Patrick Ventura has had two children, Vick Ventura and Vince Ventura, with a Kelly Vazquez. They divorced before the boys grew to double digits. After that, Jill Jaxton Jistol married him, and she herself had two kids, and with that unison, they all became a family of six. Ventura's older son ran off and began his own band-"
"So, they're all dead, except for the youngest Ventura boy, is that right?"
"Affirmative."
"Where is he now? Run facial recognition, however long it takes. I can definitely use someone like him by my side."
March 9th, 2021
"Why am I important?"
"I think you are valuable. And I can also help you, if you help me."
"Is that right? How so?"
"I know about what happened to your family, I know you suffered."
Vince pulled his chair back. "You don't know anything."
"I know the killer."
Her eyes weren't those of a liar.
"You're pulling my chain-"
"His name's Lincoln Loud. If you help me, we can get him. And you may have your retribution on him."
He pointed at her. "You... You're offering me to sell... What, high tech weapons, illegally? I don't want that kinda heat. I have other-"
"You don't have anything left, Vince. I've been watching you before I approached you. I know everything you've been doing, which is nothing at all. Here, with me, you'll be something."
"He took it all away... He stripped me down to nothing. My sister... I know she wasn't my biological sister, but I loved her. And he killed her, right in front of me."
"So, what do you say? You in?"
"Alright, but, Vial Corp, it feels like a geek fest. I'm not great around that."
"Well, I am planning something else here..." She slipped him a yellow folder, filled with something bigger than the concept of Vial Corp.
"The Black Network? What is this?"
"If anything should ever happen to my Vial Corp empire, I'll have this as a backup. But this will plan to serve my illegal projects. Vial would only be a front, bait for them. But... I gotta make people think it'd be my only empire, so I'll have to actually keep those I'll experiment on."
"Sounds like you got this figured out. Why need me?"
"I need hands do to dirty. Yours do. That, for revenge, and more."
"So, what's the money being used for?"
"Further research, and funding for the Black Network. I've lost enough to make a difference, but I can win it back. You can start right away, I've made contacts already."
"You have buyers?"
"No, Vince, you have buyers."
"This sounds complex. I'm in."
"Welcome to the Corp and Network."
February 4th, 2023
"-And without a doubt, I believe this wondrous dream can-"
"Your puppet is full of himself, Lisa." Vince looked to the podium, seeing Shepherd talk with emotional pride.
"He won't be mines to use anymore. All those people will believe he did it all, and never know about me, except for the creepy stalkers."
"You planning to kill him?"
"I want him gone, he's of no use to me. I'll have to wait awhile. It can't happen that soon."
"Smart. So, I've already gotten 36K from the deals."
"Everyone wants to feel safe. That's the secret to start a war. Its always about supplies. Hey, make sure nothing can be traced back to us. Delete, deny, or die."
"I understand."
"Gratitude. Establish three facilities in Maine, Washington, and Colorado. Isolated areas. We may need mercs or such."
"Its gonna take a long journey for that."
"We have the time. Go on, and call when you're done with both tasks."
Lisa looked down below to see everyone around the podium cheer on the scientist. "VIAL CORPORATION IS LIVE!"
"You drag."
February 15th, 2023
"We've got a situation down here! There's an intruder-" The voice trailed off with gun shots.
"DEREK, give me eyes!"
"Unidentified personnel is heading upstairs."
"Countermeasures?"
"All the men are engaging."
"This was to be a secure place!"
Later
"What's the assessment here? The intruder take something?"
"No, ma'am. Nothing seems to be missing." One of the guards told her.
"Incorrect. I discovered a missing serum in our vault."
"Missing serum? Which number?!"
"Serum AZ-132."
"You fools! How could you let this happen?"
"We are sorry ma'am, the albino haired man came out of nowhere."
Albino?! Could it be...
"DEREK, is there any footage in which this thief happens to be onscreen?"
"I'm sorry, Lisa, but all cameras were destroyed in the dark raid."
"Reinforce the entrances. Back to your stations, all of you!"
April 8th, 2023
"Luna Loud has checked into a motel. Cheap end security cameras have picked her up."
"Send the address to Vince, tell him to take care of it."
"Right away, Lisa."
"Lynn is doing fine... I won't bother with her... The twins are in a foster home. No Leni, no Lucy, no Lori, and no Luan. Where the hell are they all at this second?"
Lisa's secret laboratory had been abandoned, and moved here, at the top floor of this one, in her main facility. Of course, she'd have to go up and down constantly. On the bright side, there was more space. And this wasn't the only one there was. She should've been happy, but felt vast emptiness instead. She felt alone in her work.
No one to have fun with, no one to hug and cuddle. No Lily.
She stared at her desk, with all the papers in front of her. She was the youngest adult ever to live. Hopefully the capture of everyone would end in happiness. She'd bring them back, and feel something again. She did miss them, but... There was a war that raged inside. She sighed, conflicted.
July 6th, 2023
"Where is Vince?! DEREK?"
"He is still in the Colorado facility, still pretending to be a labrat under the alias of 'Ben'."
"Why in the hell-"
"He wants to observe and toy with her, being a relative of Lincoln Loud. Are you planning to reveal your relation to him?"
"Well, then, send him the location of the twins. I've decided to place them here. Nut tell him to bring them to this facility. I won't allow him to play mind games with the twins."
"Understood."
July 9th, 2023
"Well, thanks for that. Now, start acquiring an arsenal. I want you to put tanks, war machines, and whatever you can get, into the Colorado base. The guys at the White House are trying to push an agency to form. We've made too much noise, sold too many weapons to make people look."
"How do you figure? We should have expected this. I'm on it right away, Lisa." Vince went on to carry another hard task.
Lisa touched the glass, watching the twins rendered unconscious. "Hi guys. Its been awhile."
Lisa entered inside, holding a needle filled with a clear liquid, marked with the number 106. "I hope this works." She prayed for this unlikely miracle, and silently left the two, still keeping her eyes on them.
"Lisa, you have never tested AZ-106 yet. The side-effects are various, and anything can happen to them."
"I know, I know. But they have to survive it. Nothing will happen. I hope nothing will happen."
"I wish luck to be on your side, Lisa."
She finally walked from the cell, scared for the twins.
August 10th, 2023
"Vince, pull back from the facility. I know you're only trying to play Luna Loud. We need the main Black Network facility fully stocked."
"Its happening, Lisa. Don't worry a thing."
"They passed it, Vince! The Agency Act has been approved! We're gonna be even more careful now. Cut back on the sales."
"Read you clear."
Lisa returned to her desk, and began to hit it. "DAMN IT! THEY'RE PUSHING US BACK! THIS AGENCY WILL RUIN ME!"
"There is nothing that can convict you. I do suggest that you play it like this; have regular shipments moving on a monthly basis, to another Vial Corp facility, but only for Vince to steal the shipments, which are then rerouted to the main Black Network facility, and sold from there."
"D, that's a great plan. I love it. This, we shall do, indeed."
"Lisa, we've got a situation with the... Special guest down on the cell floor!"
She hurried downstairs, tired of the constant trouble this particular captive caused. "Not again!"
The gree, huge alien was putting up much of a fight, tossing guards around with its tentacles.
"Shock the thing!" Lisa readied the Cryo-Grenades, throwing then at the alien's face. "Now!" All tentacles rose into its face, as the guards zapped the thing with their electric batons. They sent in back in its cell.
"Hurry and close it!"
They did so, tired and fuming.
"Best course of action is to kill the extraterrestrial. You've acquired its essence, and used it as the main component for AZ-165. Why do you still require it alive still?"
"I haven't seen its abilities. All it does is attack. I know nothing about it, apart from it being weakened by electricity, so that's something. Killing it isn't actually out of the question, however."
"What of the other one? You created Medi-Sin, intending to create superhuman serum, but failed. Then, you fused that failed serum with a bit of that DNA to create AZ-132, which has not been tested yet. Out of all 174 serums you created, about 40 or 50 have been tested."
"Sounds like you're trying to make a point."
"I'm being reasonable here, Lisa. Maybe some of these will wind up fatal. What if your sisters actually died?"
"Look, DEREK, I'm trying to test them all as fast as I can. Are you pressuring me?"
"Forgive me, O' Great Creator."
"Done."
August 18th, 2023
"We have one loose end, now. Here, take these." Lisa slid a black briefcase along the desk.
"What are those?" Vince stared at six Cryo-Grenades inside.
"They're gonna help you. Just press the button, throw it where you want to strike, and watch what happens. Go on, kill Shepherd, before they figure out enough to investigate him."
"Where am I going?" Vince's untraceble phone then vibrated. "Oh, nevermind, then. Thanks, DEREK."
"You are welcome, sir."
"Sir? I like the sound of that."
"Use Network vehicles, not ours."
"You got it, great leader."
She sensed sarcasm in his voice. Hmmmm...
"Call when its done, Vince."
The minute after he left, the AI spoke through his deep voice.
"Did you also sense it in his voice?"
"Yes, there's something up with him. Better keep a closer eye on him."
"Wise course of action."
September 16th, 2023
"As you requested, a sample of Lynn Loud's blood." Vince set a small bottle filled with blood on her desk.
"Good work, Vince. I am grateful for your service to me and the dream."
"Yeah." He coldly said. "If I may ask, why do you need this, specifically?"
"Its premature in the making, but I'm working on Project Link."
"Project Link?"
"Its the cloning creation of ultimate killers, and I've already picked out who shall be cloned." She held up Lynn's bottled up blood, smirking. "Just one more to go."
Later
Three different tiny blood bottles stood in front of Lisa. She had Lincoln's, visiting him not long ago, seeing him in a comatose state. Vince got Lynn's blood. Those three were bunched around. The fourth was that of Lindsay Missing's blood, the Phenomenon with telekinesis.
Luan, whom Lisa had caught wind of, was going around killing people. All Lisa had to do was follow the breadcrumbs and extract her DNA found in the crime scenes.
Mix Luan, and Lynn's blood with Lincoln's and Lindsay's, to make two, and a third, purely out of Lincoln's DNA, and what have you? Superhumans with telekinesis. Unstoppable killing machines, literally in Lisa's hands. Get Luan's blood, and that was there was left before the cloning began for Project Link.
I'm resorting to this...
The Matrix Portal was locked away in its safe place. Lisa, feeling bored, put her head down on her desk, scanned through the cameras, looking without being there.
"Having all this... It doesn't feel as I thought it'd be. Its just me, alone here..."
"Permission to speak freely?"
"Granted."
"Well, I don't need eyes to see that all you do is work, bark orders, and repeat the cycle. You're stressing by the fact that you might probably end up in the radar of the big guys. I think you should try to live."
"Live..."
October 4th, 2023
Why stop at three clones, when there could be four? Lucy qualifies to be cloned. This is turning out better than I expected.
"Oh, alright. Sure, I'll give my blood."
Lisa tried her best not to burst out laughing.
"Alright. My second-in-command, Vince Ventura, will give you the tour. Think you can manage?"
Lucy nodded, holding her new uniform. "I think I got it. Thanks for a more dark outfit."
"There's also a mask along with it, too. Mandatory."
March 16th, 2024
Someone broke in again. "WHAT THE FUCK?! HOW DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING?!"
"Lisa, the footage of the cell floor is showing me one cell is empty. Its your twins, they're gone."
"Damn it! I won't be able to find them!" Lisa hurried down, carrying the portable A.I. in her hand.
"Would you like me to contact Vince?"
"No, let him keep raising funds. Remind me later to reinforce everything around the facility. Too many things to keep track of... We can handle this."
September 3rd, 2024
While Lisa was still under her rock, Vince Ventura had begun something. An agenda of his own.
"A mugging?" He looked at the twins with disgust.
"A small crime, when there's so much worse to be solved? What next, little girl? You gonna pick the trash from the highways? This girl's no hero. Just a freak, playing with godly power. You don't deserve this. A dead soldier has more value than you."
Then came the agreers.
"Yeah, he's right!"
They'd all see, these girls aren't close to professional, real heroes. Undeserving of Lisa's gifts. The powers that can be easily misused, and it was a miracle that these blondes did not go around causing the crimes themselves.
Booing and angry yells then followed after, and Vince gave himself a victorious pat on the back, once the twins sped off.
Cowards.
His earpiece flowed with static.
"I stopped by to see the progress myself. While I'm grateful on the fact that you've already gotten enough stock for a war, you can't go out into the open like this."
"I need a break, Lisa. I'm heading back now, actually."
"What are you up to?"
"Nothing. See you back at base."
September 10th, 2024
"This one's ready to go. Should the time come if we're discovered, we can use them as a last resort. This one, Link-A, is a clone of Lincoln Loud. And these others, they'll be clones of fusion. I've not started the process yet, for I'm doing them at the same time. The perfect Lincoln clone, to serve us."
Vince twitched at this.
"Don't try to kill him, he's not the real one. DEREK, drain the chamber."
"Right away."
"How does this work?"
"Think of it as a Wi-Fi network, applicable to anything, and everything wireless. He can connect to Vial and Black Network databases, too. My first ever creation."
The chamber opened up.
"Is this really safe?"
"Don't worry, I've played with the genetics, suppressed whatever cruel memories the real Lincoln had endured."
"Cruel memories? He's a cruel memory."
What Lisa saw was not what she expected. A young girl, rather than a grown up Lincoln, stepped out of the golden chamber.
"A g... Guhh..."
This was most unexpected to her. "No, this... This isn't supposed to turn out like this!" She screamed in anger.
The girl looked around, like she had been born today. "L-Lisa? Is that you? Where's mom and dad?"
"What... What is she talking about?" Vince looked at the genius for an answer.
"Lisa, who is this man? Where am I?" The girl took a few steps towards the doorway, but was blocked by Vince.
"All the Loud kids, they're-'
"Your own siblings..." He gave it thought. "All these girls, I think I get it now. You..."
"No, its not random. I wanna keep them all safe and sound. You're trying to hurt them because they're his relatives. Are you gonna try and hurt me? I know you were toying with Luna. That's why I relieved you of that facility."
"Luna?" The white haired girl grew closer to Lisa.
"And what of her? You definitely screwed up here, what now?"
"This dream, it happened because you cared about them."
"True, but it benefits me, too. And people will only see that here. The true reason doesn't exist."
"And what about my retribution? Are you going to allow me to have Julia's killer?!"
"There's more to this than personal vendettas! Focus on your-"
Vince pinned her to the wall.
"LISA!" The white haired girl attempted to attack him, but Vince kicked her in her stomach, sending her down.
"I want him, and only him! Deny me a chance, and you die."
He let her go, and left with such anger at this new revelation.
The girl helped Lisa up. "Are you okay?"
"I'll be fine, thanks. Hey, uh... What can you tell me about our house?"
"Our house?"
There's no telling if her intital mental designs have worked. The memories should be buried, but not her skills. Nor the 132 passed down from Lincoln.
"I wanna go home."
She doesn't know... That means-
"Can you follow me?"
"Okay..."
Minutes Later
"These poles, can you bent them out of shape?"
The girl stared at them. "Its not possible, I'm only eleven years old..."
"Do it, please."
"Can we go home after this?"
"Yes, I'll take you home." She told her.
Little genderbent Lincoln placed two hands on the pole, and altered the metal out of shape.
"Very good."
"Lisa, am I done?"
"For now. Let's go back."
She returned the clone to the chamber room. The girl looked at her reflection in the shiny surface.
"Is that me?" She touched her face. "I'm not... Lincoln?"
Lisa did not know what to say.
"Who am I? What am I?"
She looked up to the label of her chamber. "Link-A... Is that supposed to be me?"
"Yes..."
Something in the girl's voice tugged at Lisa's deep feelings. "You're-"
"Linka."
"Linka? You want to be called Linka?"
Linka held Lisa's hand. "What happened to you? Why are you... Older?"
"You wanna play hide and seek?"
Linka smiled. "I do, yes!"
"You count to twenty. Get in the chamber, so I know you won't peek."
Tricking Linka back in her chamber was the granddaddy of all evil things Lisa has done. She closed it the second Linka was fooled inside.
"Lisa? Lisa!"
The persistent slamming of Linka's hands was almost muffled through the chamber.
"I'll let you out if I can use you. For now, you're just... I'm sorry... You're a failure, Linka..."
There was silence after the horrible words. For a second, Lisa was afraid Linka could actually punch her way out of the chamber. She stepped back, not knowing what was going to happen. Nothing did, but Lisa heard soft crying.
"DEREK, refill the chamber, put Link-A in stasis."
"Of course, Lisa..."
March 11th, 2025
Carol Pingrey was tied to the stretcher. "Who the hell are you?! Why are you doing this?!"
Lisa held up the serum AZ-122, and inserted the orange substance into both her arms. "I want someone to survive this. I'm giving you a gift here, unless it kills you. Then, that'd be a curse. Not that I believe in them."
Carol pulled on her restraints. "SOMEONE HELP ME!"
Her hands then began to morph in a disturbing way. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?!"
The process was grotesque. Her fingers were bending in every direction, like she had no bones, and her skin was made out of gum.
"I'll check on the progress an hour from now. I'll be back later."
"Lisa, has it worked this time?"
"Too early to tell. Notify Vince, wherever he is."
Vince laughed at Luna's pain. "That's what you get, Loud! The sins of the brother will linger onto you."
"Vince, I've trialed the Pingrey girl. We'll know if she survived or not soon."
"I doubt she will. Over", he replied.
June 19th, 2025
"Process initiated. Primary growth phase has begun. Here's to hoping there are no fuck-ups like Linka-A. The tracker suits have been created for them. And the chamber doors have been upgraded with cams, so that we may see the progress without having to check personally."
"Cheers, Lisa."
"Now, we have it all. We are now untouchable. No agency, no government, no rival corporation can touch us."
"I hear that. Guess what? The WM guys, they're looking to buy from us."
"WM, the terrorists? Damn, that's big a connection. We're getting bigger by the second."
"So, what now?"
May 3rd, 2026
"Lisa, your siblings are being united by the Agency."
Luna escaped not long ago, and Lisa had lost another battle. The damn Agency was now onto her, and they had evidence for a black operation. No one knew that DEREK was their secret advantage. He got into the Agency's own network, but had to move fast to evade their own security.
"What do you request we do?"
"Nothing, not yet. We'd have to be really desperate to combat such threats."
The Agency, and a team of Lisa's siblings, the ones who had been experimented on. Lincoln was likely among them, for he had taken a super serum from her on their first year.
Damn it, guys... You're all supposed to be in glass cells. Don't force my hand.
This was not something she anticipated, and it was ironic to the maximum. The very thing she created was about to be her downfall. The clones, the Black Network, her contingency. But, she did not wish to lose the Vial Corp front. As much as she cared for her siblings, she also loved everything she made. One huge thing was at risk, and it angered her.
Later
"Its done. Four of them have been gathered. Aren't you worried? They'll come, they'll know about the Black Network. They'll find Project L-"
Lisa reacted to Vince by smacking her fists on her desk. "That's enough! Leave me to my business."
"Untrue, Vial Corp databases do not mention anything about the Black Network. Might I suggest transferring all material here to the main Black Network?"
"Negative, all serums, technology and armories are to remain. Our scientists will be placed within the Network facilities. All databases are to be copied, and taken to the Network as well. However, there is only one loose end I see."
"Is it Vince? Very tactical, Lisa. Very tactical indeed. He knows too much, and-"
"DEREK, I didn't mean him." She set down the A.I., and grab her walkie talkie. "Will the nearest security guard report to my office?"
"Lisa, what are you planning?"
A guard stepped in. "How can I be of service, Director?"
"Gun, please." Lisa gently grabbed the gun he held out.
"Lisa-"
"DEREK, you were my best creation. I... I am very pleased to have had you by my side."
"Lisa, no! Please don't destroy me..."
Her phone buzzed with a text. Three crying emojis were sent from the A.I., followed by another.
I love you, creator!
Lisa aimed. "Please forgive me..."
"Lisa!"
She fired at DEREK, and turned away, hearing the shattering pieces of metal land all over.
Lisa dropped the gun.
They... They made me do this... The Agency, they'll pay for this. If it shall be that my own flesh and blood come against me... They, too, will pay."
And on this day, she knew true anger, letting the hatred inside. It worked its magic, on the verge of slowly changing her.
AN: And that's the Lisa chapter, all complete. Special thanks to Trace Edges for the insight on Ventura family, and a great villain, looking to avenge. I'm surprised that this was finished quickly. Now, for the final Decade One chapter, starring everyone's favorite cinnamon roll!
