It was the day before Ronnie Anne's birthday; Clyde was on his way from The Loud House, having spent the morning training with Lincoln, not just physical training but learning to harness his magical aura. Clyde went to check on Ronnie Anne and Sid's gift. This was a favor to Lincoln as he researched the crown again with Lisa. Clyde was on his way to the convention center as he had an adult class.
"I better hurry,"
Along the way, he ran into Sam, who was doing a little shopping for the house, like picking up Lily and Lina's favorite snacks.
"Hello, Clyde,"
"Hey Sam,"
"How's your day?"
"It's fine, I got a class to teach in another 45 minutes, so I'm heading to the convention center,"
"That's cool; I'm on my way back to the house, Lina's favorite show is coming on, and I want to surprise her with her favorite snack,"
"That's nice, well I better,"
"Clyde, I have to know something," Sam cut in insistently.
"What's up?"
"Do you think Lincoln will ever forgive me?"
Clyde was taken aback by how blunt Sam was with asking that question. Knowing the seriousness of these conversations, the two moved to a more private area to talk.
"I know we're being civil for Lina's sake, but I can't help but feel sometimes he still hates me. Forgiveness wouldn't come overnight, but the waiting makes me worry." Sam confessed.
"Sam, Lincoln doesn't hate you. Look, what you did was very bad; I'm not going to sugarcoat it; you left Lincoln with many emotional scars that he needs to work through," Clyde explained. "However, you're not a bad person; I understand there was a lot of baggage on your shoulders that you were suppressing, and then your falling out with Luna, along with Rusty's actions and the humiliation you suffered, brought everything to the front and brought you and Lincoln to the point of no return. However, unlike Rusty, you've taken full responsibility for your actions and shown it through your actions since then,"
"You think so?"
"You've been a decent, loving mother, you work hard to support Lina and the rest of the Louds, and if it wasn't for you, Lincoln would've come home to Luna being dead, something I know he's grateful for,"
"Thank you,"
"No problem,"
The two parted, and Clyde rushed to his class; hours after teaching his class how to bake the perfect Soufflé, Clyde began cleaning up his classroom. Suddenly the last person he expected to see approach him was Rusty.
"What do you want, Spokes?"
"I need to know something, and I know you have the answers,"
"Whatever it is, ask someone else,"
"Lincoln is the father of that girl, Lina, isn't he?"
Clyde tensed but tried not to show it as he turned to face Rusty. "I don't know what you're talking about,"
"We may not be friends anymore, McBride, but I still know when you're covering for Lincoln, just like I know Sam is her mother, she looks too similar to them both to be a coincidence,"
"Let's suppose for a moment that you're right; what does it matter to you?"
"What does it matter? How can you guys be so chummy after what she did?"
"Unlike you, she wasn't consciously aware of her actions, and again, unlike you; she took responsibility for her actions,"
"Wasn't consciously aware? What, was she drunk?" Asked Rusty, only getting an angry stare from Clyde.
"She was already dealing with personal issues, and then you come along and make her life worse,"
"Hey, I didn't put the alcohol in her hands; I didn't force her on Lincoln,"
"You set all this in motion. You ruined her reputation and turned people against her just because Stella wanted Lincoln and not your sorry ass. Even after figuring this out, you still won't take responsibility; you're just trying to deflect blame from yourself onto her,"
"Hey, I'm taking responsibility for what I did and how it may have led to what happened to Lincoln," Rusty defended. "But where's her responsibility? Why isn't she in jail right now?"
Clyde said nothing but gave Rusty another hard stare.
"Now I get it; Lincoln's family covered it up. They didn't want the town to find out that little girl is a rape ba,"
Before Rusty could finish that sentence, Clyde grabbed him by the shirt, slamming him against the wall, and threatened him.
"You even think of finishing that sentence, and you better hope your step-mom's dental plan includes implants,"
"Please don't,"
"I'm gonna be frank with you, Rusty; I blame you more than I can ever blame Sam,"
"Me? She's the rapist!"
"No, she's not; she made a horrible decision that still haunts her," Clyde said. "Every day, she's striving to make things right, be a better person, and make up for what she did. And what do you do? Deflect blame and minimize your actions cause you now think that she's the one people should be mad at instead of you,"
"But I didn't,"
"Look, Spokes, I don't have time to argue with you, so let me give you a warning, you say anything or do anything to hurt Lina, and I will personally crush your vocal cords cuz that little girl is the only good thing that came out of the situation you started!"
Rusty nodded before Clyde let him go, and he ran off. Clyde took a deep breath before cleaning up; he quickly called Lincoln after leaving.
"And that's the story,"
"Damn, he's the last person I wanted to figure this out,"
"So what are we doing now?"
"Call Sid and update her, but tell her not to tell Ronnie Anne,"
"Why? Shouldn't we tell her too?"
"Tomorrow is her birthday. I don't want this to ruin it for her; we'll tell her after,"
"Okay, I understand,"
"I'll tell my family,"
The Next Night
Ronnie Anne's birthday party was in full swing; her family had rented out El Palacio, where they had her Quinceanera. That had been a fun day for her, except that everyone older than her could not go over two sentences without preaching abstinence and the importance of saving her virginity. It was so awkward being the center of attention, and every adult seemed convinced she would have sex the moment they weren't there to stop her.
Then again, if Lincoln had been around back and even half as hot as he was now, their concerns would not have been out of place, she had to admit. Ronnie Anne was dressed in a purple silk button-front gown, courtesy of Carlota. The gown highlighted her beauty and sex appeal as it was tight and squeezed her in the right places, along with her makeup, also done by Carlota. Ronnie Anne looked like a goddess as she glided through her party, with people telling her happy birthday in English and Spanish.
"Feliz cumpleaños." Said Bobby as he arrived with Lori, the Louds, and Sam. Lina and Lily weren't among them; they were all being babysat by Harold and Howard McBride, along with Carlitos, since there would be alcoholic beverages served to the older guests.
"Thanks, bro; hey, where's Lincoln?"
"He's here but keeping a low profile; he doesn't want the guy who came back from the dead to steal your moment," explained Lori.
"Really?"
"His words, not ours, but if I had to guess, he's probably on the roof,"
Ronnie Anne nodded before walking away to find Lincoln. True to Lori's word Lincoln was on the roof mulling over his situation. It was bad enough that Rusty figured out how Lina was conceived, but now many factors work against him. Lincoln wasn't worried about him or Sam; they'd find a way to deal with it with his family. His main concern was Lina; he didn't want people looking at her differently, like a mistake. Despite loving his town, Lincoln knew Royal Woods wasn't immune to the effects of scandals, and the way Lina came to be would be one of the biggest scandals to hit his town since his "death." Another problem was Adonis and his party if they found out about Lina, they'd make her their favorite target—especially Blade.
"Hey Lame-O, what are you doing here instead of at my party?" Asked Ronnie Anne as she walked out of the roof exit.
"Oh, uh, just enjoying the sky," blushed Lincoln as he saw Ronnie Anne in her gown.
"So when exactly were you going to tell me about Rusty?"
Lincoln nearly choked before seeing Ronnie Anne's unamused face.
"How did you find out? Did Sid tell you?"
"She didn't have to; I was sitting right next to her when Clyde called,"
"Dang, it,"
"Lincoln, I appreciate you not wanting to stress me out about this on my birthday, but I'm your girlfriend; you don't have to protect me from what's going on in your life,"
"I just didn't want this ruining your day,"
"Well, I found out, and my day is still not ruined, so let's go inside and enjoy ourselves and deal with that carrot-top jackass later,"
Lincoln smiled and got up. "Who am I to deny you on your birthday?"
The two immediately joined the party; Lincoln heard people whispering about him, much to his dismay. Lincoln returning from the dead wasn't the only hot topic; people talked about the Guardian. Some saw footage of the Guardian's rescue; others theorized he was behind the locos being gone—some claim to see a car that can drive up a wall.
"Damn, I was giving myself away a lot more than I thought,"
"It's not like we were going to be able to stay hidden forever,"
Moments later, Clyde arrived, holding a large birthday cake. Clyde had actually been there earlier along with Lynn Sr. Both were helping Rosa bake Ronnie Anne's birthday cake; Rosa and Lynn Sr. left earlier to help with decorations, and Clyde put the finishing touches and delivered it to the party. Everyone was impressed by Clyde holding up the cake easily, but Clyde claimed it was from his boxing training, which was half true. Thanks to the effects of his suit Clyde had become physically enhanced, making holding heavy objects even more effortless. Clyde quickly placed the cake on the main table before joining Lincoln, Ronnie Anne, and Sid.
"Hey guys," called Clyde.
"Perfect timing, buddy; now we can show Ronnie Anne, and Sid their gift,"
"Finally, I've been dying to know," said Sid.
Ronnie Anne told her family she'd return shortly after seeing Lincoln's gift.
"Don't take too long, Mija," said Rosa.
Ronnie Anne nodded, asking Nikki and the rest of her friends to keep the rest of the guests from noticing she was gone as best they could. The group slipped to the roof, switched suits, and took off. As they took off, no one noticed two black vans that had pulled up behind El Palacio.
"Okay, we'll move in 20 minutes," said the driver.
After jumping from roof to roof, the gang landed in the park. Luckily no one was around; this was a perfect place for Lincoln to present his gift.
"Okay, Linc, you kept us waiting for weeks; time to show us," said Ronnie Anne.
Lincoln nodded as he summoned a magic circle, and something rose up, confusing both Ronnie Anne and Sid. To them, it looked like a purple and black missile with fins.
"Uh, Lincoln, what is this thing?"
"You'll see voice registration online,"
"Acknowledge. Please speak your full name,"
"Uh, Ronalda Anne Santiago,"
"Sydney Chang,"
"Voice registration completed; recognize Ultraviolet and Midnight,"
The object began opening its shell, revealing to be a two-seater motorcycle.
"Guys, I give you The cyclotron,"
"The what?"
"Your new mode of transportation. I broke down the two dirt bikes and rebuilt them as this with Lana and Lisa's help. It's got all the same features as the calvary and a few of its own,"
"Like?" Asked Sid excitedly.
"It has two modes called missile and divide and conquer,"
"Missile?" Asked Ronnie Anne.
"The shell closes around you, turning you into a missile/battering ram that can smash through walls without hurting you or Sid," Lincoln explained.
"And divide and conquer?" Asked Sid.
"The cyclotron will split into two separate motorcycles in case you guys have to split up,"
"Lincoln, I don't know what to say," Ronnie Anne said happily.
"How about racing back to the party," Sid suggested.
"This is an advanced machine. Get some practice in before you hit the racing roads." Lincoln advised.
Agreeing, Sid and Ronnie Anne took time to adjust to the cyclotron, each taking a turn in both seats. Ultimately Sid decided to be the designated driver while Ronnie Anne handled the weapon system. They experimented with both missile mode and divide and conquer; after 30 minutes, they thought they better understood their motorcycle.
"This thing is amazing; I think we're ready for that race," Said Ronnie Anne.
Suddenly Lincoln got a call from Lisa, who was calling via her glasses.
"Hello?"
"Lincoln, you and the others need to get back here now," said Lisa in a hushed tone.
"Is it time to cut the cake?"
"No, these men broke in and took the whole party hostage,"
"What!?"
"Tell everyone to switch the HUD screens to view mode to see what I see,"
Lincoln did just that; everyone saw everything through Lisa's glasses. True to her word, they were armed men moving through the party, and everyone was on their knees with their hands behind their heads.
"I don't believe it; we're gone just a little while, and all hell breaks loose at my birthday party!"
"Let's go teach these jerks they crashed the wrong party," said Sid.
Lincoln and Clyde jumped into The Calvary, Ronnie Anne and Sid jumped onto The Cyclotron. The group raced off; within a few minutes, they were a few blocks away from El Palacio before switching to moving along the roof. Arriving on the roof of El Palacio, they saw from the outside everything seemed normal until they looked through the skylight. All the guests were kneeling in a small crowd while a man with a semi-automatic weapon began speaking while circling them as numerous armed men pointed their guns at the hostages from the second-floor balcony.
"You sheep thought we were done? You thought the wolves were gone; The Locos were finished? Are you all loco?"
"Why are you doing this?" asked Rosa.
"What better way to draw out your hero, The Guardian!"
"These guys?" Ronnie Anne asked.
"Should we charge in and take them down?" Clyde asked.
"No, they might be expecting that and counting on the hostages to get in the way. We need to try the stealth approach while it will work." Sid countered.
"Don't worry, I have a plan for that," said Lincoln, summoning two cards.
Lincoln then handed one card to each Clyde and the other to Sid; as the two examined the cards, they noticed each had a magical circle on it; however, in the center of each card were the symbols for both male and female, respectively.
"Lincoln, what is this?" asked Clyde.
"I've been experimenting to improve my teleportation spell, and one breakthrough is that now I can teleport males and females separately; those cards are the new waypoints, all you guys have to do is set them somewhere safe, and I can teleport everyone to safety," Lincoln explained.
"Lincoln, do you remember the bugs from the last time we used it?" whispered Ronnie Anne.
"No need to worry about that. I managed to fix it somewhat; at least they'll keep their underwear now until the rest appears 5 minutes later; that's why I modified the spell so that it can teleport by gender, just in case someone isn't wearing underwear," he whispered back.
"Where should we place these? There are armed men everywhere," Sid pointed out.
"Not on the third floor; the bathrooms are the perfect places,"
"One problem, the lights; they'll see us coming," said Sid.
"That's where Lisa comes in; she hacked the system and can turn off the automated lights,"
"But that will just leave the candles, plus they'll be on alert,"
"Wait, Sid, doesn't El Palacio have a built-in fog system?"
"You're right, I forgot we had our senior Halloween party here," said Sid. "hey Lincoln, off-topic, but Ronnie Anne lost a bet to Nikki and had to dress up as Jessica Rabbit and had to sing "Why don't you do right?" that night."
"Really Sid? Now you want to bring that up?" Asked Ronnie Anne, blushing.
"Just a little something I'm sure your BF would want to see for himself,"
"Later, Lisa, can you do anything on your end?"
"Not directly, but fear not, I uploaded controls to Todd; he's waiting on your command, and please hurry; I managed to tell Todd to send out a distress to police, but I fear they won't be here in time, and this man is becoming more agitated," whispered Lisa.
"Okay, once the lights go out and fog rolls in, Sid and Clyde take the roof exit to the third floor, and Ronnie Anne follows behind them; when they're set, radio me, and I'll teleport them. Then you start taking out the guns with your bow and arrows,"
"Wait, what are you doing?" asked Ronnie Anne.
"I need to be close to teleport them,"
"How close?" asked Ronnie Anne.
"In the center of the crowd,"
"We better get in position fast," Clyde stated.
At the party…
"What makes you think the Guardian will show up here?" Maria asked the gang members.
"Did you put up a sign saying 'We're committing a crime here, try and stop us'?" Carlos added.
"We figured broadcasting Each of your executions over the internet would send him the message and get the rest of my crew released," he said, nodding to one of his men. "Once your hero shows, I've got a little surprise for him, though most of you sheep won't be here to see it,"
Everyone became terrified, especially when a camera was brought out and turned on while the one operating it gave a thumbs up.
"Alright, Guardian, if you're watching this, listen up. We don't take kindly to you getting in our way, and we won't let you get away with it. So at the expense of these sheep, we're sending you a message,"
As the man was readying his gun, the light suddenly shut off, leaving the candle hanging from the chandeliers leaving the room dimly lit,"
"What the hell is going on?"
All the men were on high alert as they readied their guns, eager to shoot. Then fog started rolling in, making visibility even worse and scaring them.
"Where did all this fog come from?" said the cameraman.
"Who cares? Let's just slaughter these sheep and send our message to their hero,"
As the leader readied himself to shoot into the crowd, he suddenly yelled in pain as something had embedded itself into his hand, forcing him to drop his gun. The cameraman focused on the leader, revealing an orange and black triangle shuriken in his hand. Suddenly with a loud thud, both men heard something drop down upon returning the camera to the crowd. To their shock, the Guardian stood at the center of the crowd.
"All right, you got my attention like you wanted. What's the message?" said Lincoln.
The leader pulled out the weapon before picking up the gun with his good hand and pointing it at him.
"I wanted to slaughter some of the sheep before you showed up. But I'll settle for making them watch their guard dog be put down,"
"Lincoln, the waypoints are in place; you can teleport," radioed Clyde.
"Interesting idea, but first, let's try this,"
Lincoln dropped a smoke pellet unleashing a smoke cloud that encased him and the hostages. The leader immediately shoots into the cloud, but as the cloud dissipates, to his shock, the Guardian is still standing there unharmed, but the hostages are gone.
"What? How could you do that? No one's that fast!"
"What can I say? I'm motivated." Lincoln remarked.
"Shoot him!" The leader demanded, with all members of his gang present aiming at the Guardian.
All the men were about to fire when a flurry of arrows came flying down, hitting all the guns in the firing mechanism and jamming all of them.
"What? How did you do that!?"
"You got your crew, and I've got mine,"
Suddenly, Clyde, Sid, and Ronnie Anne dropped to the floor, shocking the gang.
"Allow me to introduce my crew, Knockout, Midnight, and last but not least, Ultraviolet," said Lincoln. "But you can call us The Crusaders,"
"Really?" Asked Ronnie Anne.
"Don't lie; you know you like it,"
"Why are you fools just standing there? Get down here, and let's kill them!" The leader roared as the men ran down the stairs while some jumped off the balcony. As all the men charged, the fog blocked everyone's view. Confused, the Locos watched as the fog cleared, and all four were gone.
"Cowards! You can't run from us," yelled the leader.
"Who said we're running?" Called Lincoln.
The leader instructed his men to find them while he retrieved something from the van.
As the rest of the men searched the hall, knives in hand, suddenly they began hearing a whistling sound that sounded like twisted nerves from Kill Bill.
"That doesn't scare us," said one man
"This will," said Ronnie Anne as one man was pulled under the fog without a sound.
"What the hell?" said another man standing right next to the man but found no trace of him.
"Okay, getting a little afraid here!" said another man.
"You should be!" said Clyde as another man was pulled under the fog, again without a sound being made.
The gang members huddled back to back, hoping this would make it harder for the heroes to take them out. Then one of them was pulled up by something, disappearing into shadows.
"No one ever looks up," Sid remarked happily.
The process continued until the men were beaten; some were left hanging from the balconies, others from the chandeliers; Lincoln had then radioed Todd telling him to turn the lights back on, which he did.
"That takes care of… wait, one is missing," said Lincoln realizing that the leader had slipped away.
"Damn, that weasel must have snuck out," said Ronnie Anne.
"He couldn't have gotten far," said Sid.
"Who said I ran away?" called the leader.
Suddenly the doors to the kitchen flew open, with the leader walking in with a large object hoisted over his shoulder. The object in question was a large sword; however, it wasn't a normal sword. It looked like it was made of metal, flesh, and bone, with a sinister eye embedded in it—an eye that looked alive and like it was looking at them.
"Sorry to keep you waiting; I had to get the little surprise I was saving for you, Guardian,"
"Where did you get that thing!?" Asked Lincoln, sounding like he knew he wouldn't like the answer.
"Wouldn't you like to know?"
"Guys be careful; there's a strong demonic aura coming from that sword,"
"Gotta be Adonis," said Ronnie Anne.
"Here's a taste of what's coming,"
The Leader then sliced the table with the birthday cake, destroying it as Ronnie Anne looked in horror.
"My cake!" Ronnie Anne, and Clyde both silently screamed.
The leader then picks up a piece of the cake before eating it. "Looks like I did someone a favor; the cake was a little dry,"
"Why you, Little!"
Hearing that enraged Clyde, and he was ready to take his head off, but Lincoln stopped him.
"We must be careful, guys; remember how I showed you how to channel your magical auras into your weapons to increase their power?"
"Yeah?" replied everyone.
"You're going to have to use that technique here; this demonic weapon is no joke!"
The leader then dashed at Lincoln, slamming his sword down, but Lincoln countered with his sword blocking the attack. The force of the swords clashing caused a small shockwave as the others were knocked aside but landed safely on dining tables. Lincoln quickly noticed that the leader was physically on par with him, not to mention his speed was also faster than it should be.
"Damn, that sword has to be behind this; there's no way this guy could be so strong!" Thought Lincoln.
As they continued their standoff, the floor beneath them began cracking from the force.
"This freaky ass sword is working better than I thought; I never felt so powerful,"
Channeling his aura, Lincoln's sword began glowing with an orange and black aura as Lincoln pushed him back. The two began an epic clash of blades, though Lincoln proved to be more refined, while the leader was more savage, like a knight fighting a barbarian. Eventually, the others join in the fight; however, due to the eye on the sword, the Leader is given 360° vision allowing him to see their attack coming and counter. Despite being able to hold his own against The Crusaders, the leader eventually began to tire out, allowing a few blows to land on his person.
"You…'huff'...this isn't…gonna stop… 'huff'...me!"
"Give up; you can't keep this up," warned Lincoln.
"But we can go all night," said Clyde.
The Leader became enraged as he yelled, "When I'm finished killing all of you, I'm going to find and slaughter those sheep, starting with the kids, then I'm going to take my men to slaughter the police and free the rest of my crew, then we're going to raise this city to the ground, and finally I'm going to do the same too that backwater town Royal Woods until everyone is bowing before me!"
The increase in rage affects the sword as the eye in the sword begins looking around rapidly. The Leader then noticed something was wrong and began feeling a burning sensation.
"Why is my hand burning?"
Suddenly tentacles burst from the hilt of the sword and begin embedding themselves into the arms of the leader, much to his horror and pain. The leader could only scream as the tentacles dug under his skin and into its muscle; suddenly, the skin on his arm exploded, exposing the muscle as his whole arm merged with the sword.
"What's happening to me?" "That Bruja said nothing like this would happen!"
"Gee, who would have thought someone who makes evil weapons would be less than honest?" Sid sarcastically thought while watching this horrific scene.
The Leader became encased in the same demonic aura as his eyes began glowing red, and he began screaming like an animal.
The leader began slashing all the dining room tables and pillars.
"If he keeps this up, he's gonna bring the building down!" Said, Sid.
"We have to separate him from that sword, I can do that, but he's moving too randomly, I just need him still for one moment," Lincoln said.
"Leave that to me," Clyde said.
Clyde charged in as he channeled his blue aura into his gauntlets; with one punch, he cracked the leader across the jaw. The leader yelled in pain before attempting a straight slash down. Clyde caught the blade between his hands, holding it. Ronnie Anne and Sid joined in as Ronnie Anne used her bow to restrain his other arm, and Sid used her bō-staff to smash the leader's legs, forcing him onto his knees. Finally, Lincoln came in, channeling his aura into his sword as he slashed down, cutting off the sword hand, cauterizing the wound, and preventing the leader from bleeding.
"My hand!" Screamed the leader.
"Be grateful I took your hand and not your head,"
"Uh, guys, this sword is getting hotter!"
"Don't just stand there; get rid of it!" Said, Ronnie Anne.
Clyde quickly launched the sword in the air with an uppercut; Ronnie Anne quickly fired an arrow into the eye of the sword. However, to Lincoln's shock, the other burst into a purple aura, sending the sword flying like a rocket through the building skylight into the sky before detonating.
"That was close," said Ronnie Anne, feeling a little woozy.
"You okay?" Asked Sid.
"Yeah, I may have overdone it,"
"I haven't seen an attack like that since Adonis was the…." Lincoln's train of thought was interrupted by the sound of police sirens signaling the police were finally here,
"Time to go, and you're coming with us," said Lincoln, grabbing the leader.
The four heroes gathered their things and rushed quickly, bringing the leader along. They gathered on a nearby rooftop while the leader cried over his missing hand. Lincoln was in no mood to show sympathy as he placed his sword on the leader's shoulder.
"Okay, asshole, we want answers; you got them, you're going to tell us everything, and if you lie to us even once, you're going to lose more than just that hand, and I promise you you're going to miss those body parts," threaten Lincoln.
"Please, I don't know anything,"
"Hold on; we didn't ask any questions yet. Are you lying to us already?" Asked Ronnie Anne.
"I'm just a local criminal with a crew; you think I'd be willing to die to protect someone? No one's worth losing body parts for."
"Well, Obviously, you've never had someone important to you," Lincoln remarked. "Where did you get that sword?"
"Some chick gave it to me. I didn't know her or where she came from, but she said she had something I would want if I wanted to make sure no one could ever stop me. Then she offered me some freaky sword and left. I would have gotten rid of it, but I decided to see if it was worth the hype and axed a rival taking over my turf after you sent most of my crew to lock up. Boy, the carnage that sword created was intoxicating."
"Why would Adonis's group offer a random person a demonic weapon?" Clyde asked Lincoln.
"My guess? To create more problems for them to solve. Remember, they think they're still heroes, but now there's no quest for them to go on and win, so they have to create enemies to take down. Luring me out is probably a bonus for them."
"That's a new level of pathetic," said Sid
"So what do we do about him?" Asked Ronnie Anne.
"Well, for starters, I'm not going to take any more of your limbs, but I think it's time to hand you off to the police,"
"You're not going to punch me, are you?"
"No…no, wouldn't dream of it," said Lincoln, causing the leader to sigh in relief. "But they are,"
"Huh?!" Said the leader as Ronnie Anne, and Clyde gave him a straight to his face knocking him out.
"That's for ruining my birthday cake!"
"And that's for calling it dry!"
Later
As the police removed the remaining Locos, one lamented not having captured the leader. Suddenly a card was thrown to the hood of one of the police cars, surprising them. As they examined the back of the card, it said.
A Gift From
The Crusaders
Confused, the police examined the other side, finding a magic circle. Before they could make sense of the circle, it started glowing, and in a flash, the leader was teleported right into their hands. The police were confused but quickly recognized him and realized his hand was missing prompting them to turn him over to the EMTs to be looked over before being arrested. The police then looked up to their surprise and saw Lincoln and the others on the roof of El Palacio giving a silent nod before leaving.
Moments later
The group returned in their party outfits, playing dumb. The guests asked where Ronnie Anne was, but she explained that she had left for a little while, and when she and the others returned, the door was locked, and the lights were out; they heard noises and called the police. The guests all bought their story, except for the family, who knew the truth and waited until everyone else was gone.
"Sorry your birthday turned out like this, Mija," said Rosa.
"Are you kidding? This is one of my best birthday parties,"
"It is?"
"Sure, my birthday cake got destroyed, but I got to kick some ass, and I got a new motorcycle out of the deal,"
"You got a what!?" Maria and Arturo said.
Everyone looked at Lincoln, who only smiled sheepishly, knowing this would be the reaction. Lincoln then realized there was something he had forgotten to ask.
"Did anyone suffer any negative effects from the teleportation?"
"Well, no, except that we ended up in each other's clothes," said Lynn Jr.
"Say what?" asked Lincoln.
"I ended up in Carlota's dress," said Carlos.
"Count yourself lucky, Dad; at least you didn't get Carl's pants; I almost passed out from the lack of circulation,"
"Hey, don't blame my pants because you got too much junk in your trunk," Carl argued.
Ronnie Anne looked at Lincoln, who silently admitted his spell needed more work.
Elsewhere
Back at the mysterious tower Adonis and the others were watching the news about a local gang that broke into a birthday party but was stopped by a group calling themselves The Crusaders. None of them showed interest until a picture of the leader was shown, followed by The Crusaders, both they recognized.
"So that bastard used the sword I gave him," said Leanne.
"Nice work; you said my new sword was foolproof; I knew letting that man use it was a terrible idea, just like letting you make me one," complained Blade.
"As I said, that was a prototype to test my skills in weapon crafting, not the finished work. That's why I needed a fool to test it,"
"Whatever, I was hoping to end that man and be praised as a hero again, but that idiot Lincoln Loud once again got in the way," Blade said. "Which reminds me, why aren't we attacking Royal Woods? We should be retrieving the crown and the gem,"
"Oh please, you just want to go so you can rape his sisters,"
"I keep telling you women can't rape other women because there is no need for consent,"
"What makes you think his sisters feel the same way? They're obviously going to side with their brother,"
"He is brainwashing them, but I'll set them straight and free them once they meet me,"
"What the hell was your mother smoking when she was pregnant with you?"
"Enough, both of you," said an annoyed Adonis as he stood up. "Leanne, how long before the next temple?"
"Since the first temple was under a full moon, the next will be a new moon; signs pinpointing its location should start to reveal itself in a few days,"
"Then you have time to perfect a sword for Blade; she'll need it when we confront Loud and his Crusaders again," said Adonis as he walked to the balcony with Mina following him.
"Adonis, something is wrong with you. I can sense it,"
"I can feel my hero Magic getting weaker bit by bit every day since our last battle with Loud and his friends, and my demon lord magic is getting stronger,"
"Perhaps the contradicting forces are finally reaching their breaking point, and one power is overtaking the other?"
"No matter. I'm still strong enough to match that idiot Lincoln Loud, and now that we know where he is, we'll deal with him eventually after we get the other gems,"
Back At The Casagrande Apartment.
After showing off the Cyclotron to her family, Ronnie Anne thought her family would disapprove. Still, they were surprisingly okay with what she was doing, at least for now.
"Ronnie Anne, while we want you to stay safe, we understand that you're an adult now, and we can't just force you to stop," Maria explained.
"If you're going to commit to this promise, this won't consume your life," said Arturo.
"I promise,"
After the Louds and Clyde left, Lincoln stayed behind to talk to Ronnie Anne about the battle.
"Ronnie Anne, how did you do that? Your magical aura is way stronger than a normal one; it's on par with mine,"
"I don't know, but it's not the first time I did that,"
"What do you mean?"
"Remember when Queen Bea tried to take you? I got so lost in my fear of losing you again that when I fired my arrow, it turned into that blast and chased her off,"
Lincoln thought for a moment as he came up with a theory.
"Lincoln, do you know something you're not telling me?"
"I have a theory; do you remember when Adonis hit you with his hero and demon Lord magic?"
"Yeah?"
"I think the hero magic not only protected you, but it also chose you as its new wielder,"
"Seriously? So I'm a hero now, like in an isekai?"
"Well, he was unworthy, and you are worthy, so I'd say high possibility."
Ronnie Anne couldn't help but be a little excited as she thought of the possibilities.
"I never dreamed I was able to do the things I can now, and it's all thanks to Lincoln; I have to give him something very special," thought Ronnie Anne.
"Hey Lincoln, mind if we talk in Sid's and my apartment?"
"Sure,"
The two headed to Sid and Ronnie Anne's new apartment, the vacant apartment that no one had wanted to rent since they were kids due to its rundown state. The apartment was quickly fixed by Lincoln, who also provided the same means to power it. The apartment was built similar to Lincoln's but with an added room so both girls could have space. Before moving in, Sid told her parents the truth, and though they weren't happy learning what she had gotten caught up with, they were proud she was doing it for the right reasons. Clyde was the only one who hadn't told his Dads, mostly because he knew how overprotective they were.
"So, what did you want to talk about?"
"I want to give you something, but it's in my bedroom; give me a second,"
"But it's your birthday." He pointed out.
"Doesn't mean I can't do something for you too. Think of it as a party favor, then."
Lincoln nodded before she headed to her room while he sat on the couch. Moments later, Ronnie Anne walked back out with a ribbon covering her body like a one-piece swimsuit, a bow holding it together over her breasts. Ronnie Anne began striking different poses, showing off how the ribbon was wrapped around her body; finishing off with showing off her ass and the wedgie the ribbon was giving her.
"Ronnie Anne!?" Said a flustered Lincoln.
"Relax, Lame-O, this is a metaphorical gift. I know you're not ready with everything going on, plus removing that seal might make you infertile. This is just my way of saying that when you're ready, I'm ready," she teased.
"Well, in that case," said Lincoln standing up, making everything except his boxers disappear. "I'm ready," he said as magic runes appeared on his body before disappearing, signaling the seal was turned off.
Ronnie Anne blushed as Lincoln walked to her; with one tug on the bow, Lincoln undid Ronnie Anne's ribbon one-piece leaving her naked. Ronnie Anne instantly became bashful and used her arms to cover her chest and crotch, making Lincoln laugh.
"Why are you so embarrassed? I've already seen you naked more than once,"
"Shut up! I'm not embarrassed; you just caught me off guard, that's all," she pouted.
"You're cute when you're embarrassed, Little Miss Hero,"
"I said I'm not, but why are you suddenly so willing? Isn't there still a possibility that you might become infertile if you remove the seal?"
"No, I looked into it a little while ago, and it turns out I'm not affected by removing the seal temporarily,"
"Say what?"
"I removed the seal to test it and gave Lisa some of my sperm cells to examine," Lincoln explained. "Turns out they're just fine,"
"You let your sister study your sperm?"
"I know it sounds weird, and yes, it felt very weird to do so, but this is Lisa, remember, the same girl who used to study everyone's fecal material. I figured it was best to give it to her willingly before she did something to get it herself,"
Ronnie Anne couldn't fault Lincoln for thinking that way, considering all of his sisters and their weird quirks, and Lisa tended to cross lines in her pursuit of science.
"So, are you ready?" He asked.
"Well, it's just, well I…."
"Well, what?"
"I hear it hurts the first time for girls,"
Lincoln blinked before he started giggling, much to Ronnie Anne's annoyance.
"Stop laughing,"
"I'm sorry, I've seen you do so many amazing things and walk headfirst into danger numerous times, and the one thing that frightens you is your first time. It's…"
"You better not say pathetic,"
"No, it's cute,"
"Oh, I'll show you cute,"
Ronnie Anne embraced Lincoln, kissing him hard before telling him. "We're going to my bed, and we're not going to stop until we go all the way."
"Are you sure you can handle that?" Lincoln asked.
"What, you can't deliver?" Ronnie Anne teased.
Lincoln scooped her into his arms, and she wrapped hers around him. "You've heard Lori; you know we're called Loud for a reason."
"Pretty bold statement Lame-O; hope you can back it up,"
Lincoln carried Ronnie Anne into her bedroom, laying her on the bed before positioning himself over her; despite the playful back and forward, they both were nervous.
"We can take it slow if you want," said Lincoln.
"Thank you,"
Lincoln lowered himself as Ronnie Anne wrapped her arms around him. The two quickly changed positions, allowing her on top. As the two made out, Lincoln's hands made their way down Ronnie Anne's back, grabbing her ass cheeks. Ronnie Anne yelped as she kissed Lincoln harder, pushing her tongue into his mouth. Lincoln briefly remembered the first time he tasted a girl's tongue in his mouth, that fateful night with Sam; unlike that time when all he tasted was alcohol, this time it was a sweet taste.
"This feels so different, and I like it," thought Lincoln.
Ronnie Anne was enjoying the feeling of Lincoln's hands on her rear; she loved how firm but affectionate he was. Sure, there had been boys in the past who had tried to grope her, but none ever actually succeeded. Now she was being groped, and it was Lincoln Loud of all people. Changing positions with Lincoln on top, they broke their kiss. Gazing lovingly at each other before Lincoln kissed her cheek. Leaving a trail of kisses, Lincoln reached Ronnie Anne's breasts. Lincoln took a few minutes to admire them. Seeing Ronnie Anne's breasts Lincoln mentally describes them as mountains with brown peaks.
"Don't stare at my boobs like that; it's embarrassing,"
"Why? They're perfect,"
"You big Lame-O," she pouted.
Lincoln gently took hold of one breast as if weighing it and rubbed his thumb slowly over her nipple. Ronnie Anne softly moaned as Lincoln played with her breast before moving to the other.
"Lincoln,"
"You like that?" Asked Lincoln getting only a nod from Ronnie Anne. "Then you'll love this,"
Lincoln leaned in, kissing both Ronnie Anne's nipples making her shiver with pleasure. Inhaling one nipple, Lincoln began sucking on it, slowly becoming more aggressive, making Ronnie Anne moan louder each time.
"Oh Linky, don't… don't stop,"
"Did she just call me by the same pet name my sisters call me?"
Ronnie Anne bit down on her bottom lip, and her toes curled as Lincoln pleased her tits.
"I feel like I'm gonna explode," cried Ronnie Anne.
"Time to kick it up a notch,"
Moving his hand down, Lincoln slid it down Ronnie Anne's belly to her crotch.
"What…what are you doing?" She moaned between breaths.
Ronnie Anne instantly got her answer when she felt Lincoln's hand move between her legs and tease her outer lip.
"How do you like this?"
"Wait…Lincoln…wait….oh…. no…don't…don't do that!"
Lincoln didn't listen as he used one hand to tease one of Ronnie Anne's breasts, his mouth to suck on her other, and his other hand to invade her inner walls. Ronnie Anne could only cry and moan in pleasure as Lincoln simultaneously pleased her at three points.
Ecstasy grew in her to the point she could barely inhale faster than she could exhale; she wiggled under him while holding him closer.
"Lincoln… make me come. I really want to come."
"Beg me for it." He whispered, releasing her nipple momentarily before taking it back into his mouth. His fingers inside her slowed down while the hand on her breast virtually stayed still.
"Please, Lincoln… I need you to finish me. I'll do anything you want, just don't stop now."
"With pleasure, pun intended." Lincoln joked, getting back to playing her body like an instrument.
"LINCOLN!" Ronnie Anne howled when her climax finally happened. She literally saw stars, and every muscle in her body tensed up as if her entire body was one big G-spot. When it passed, she collapsed and panted like she had been underwater.
"Was that good enough for you?" Lincoln teased, giving her a quick kiss since she could barely breathe right now.
"Good enough? Lincoln, it is now your job to give me orgasms on demand because there's no way in hell I'm going back to masturbating after that."
"Does that job come with a dental plan?" Lincoln joked.
"Why yes, it does. Let me show you." Ronnie Anne remarked, moving to get out from under him. He sat up, and she leaned over, rubbing his dick and enjoying its hardness before pulling down his boxers and unleashing his rod. Then in a bold move, she took him between her breasts.
"Best dental plan ever." he thought.
Locking his shaft between her breasts, Ronnie Anne massaged him while licking the exposed tip. Lincoln let out several moans and grunts, signaling he was enjoying it.
"This feels amazing; how is she so good at this?"
Unknown to him, Ronnie Anne's skills came from when she caught Carl watching adult movies and confiscated them; out of curiosity, she watched one and retained the knowledge she learned from it. Lincoln's moan continued getting louder as he reached his limit.
"I'm gonna cum!"
Lincoln came hard into Ronnie Anne's mouth, some landing on her breasts. Ronnie Anne drank Lincoln's cum, noting both bitter and savory flavors. Ronnie Anne then licked the rest of Lincoln's cum off her breasts, putting on a sexy show that made Lincoln hard again.
"That felt amazing,"
"Ready to return the favor?" Ronnie Anne teased.
Laying Lincoln down, Ronnie Anne positioned herself over Lincoln, giving him a view of her pussy from above his face.
"You ready, Lincoln?"
Lincoln only nodded; Ronnie Anne squatted, bringing her womanhood closer to his face. Lincoln lifted his head, inhaling her scent, unsure what to compare it to. Giving a test lick, Lincoln quickly found himself enjoying her taste as Ronnie Anne softly moaned. Lincoln's licking became more intense as he glided along Ronnie Anne's outer lips, licking and kissing her.
"Oh Lincoln, don't stop,"
Ronnie Anne felt her knees get weaker, feeling bold Lincoln went for Ronnie Anne's clit, giving her a hard lick. Ronnie Anne shrieked in pleasure before her knees gave out, and she dropped onto Lincoln's face bringing her whole weight down on him.
"Oh my gosh, Lincoln, I'm so sorry! I'm…oh…oh…Oh, WOW!" She moaned.
Ronnie Anne's accident turned into a happy one now that Lincoln's tongue was deep inside her, and he wasted no time thrashing her inner walls while holding her up by her ass cheeks.
"Yes…yes…deeper…I can…I can feel you so deep inside me…eat me, Lincoln…. eat me real good!"
To better steady herself, Ronnie Anne held on to Lincoln's head as she ground her pussy into his mouth. Ronnie Anne lost control as she twerked in Lincoln's face.
"Oh, Linky, you're amazing,"
Eventually, Ronnie Anne hit her limit as Lincoln sucked her clit, making her cum in his mouth. This was Lincoln's first time tasting a woman's love nectar. Thankfully what happened between him and Sam didn't include forced foreplay, so this experience was as new to him as it was to Ronnie Anne. Ronnie Anne fell backward on the bed, catching her breath.
"Damn, Lincoln, for someone avoided sex more than I did, you seem amazingly good at it."
"I wanted my first voluntary time to be one worth remembering for both of us, so I need to move past what happened to me, and this is a big step in that direction," Lincoln replied.
"As long as it's with you, every time will be one to remember, and I want to help you every step along the way," Ronnie Anne said lovingly, kissing him. She could taste her fluids on him and decided this didn't bother her. But it would only ever be her fluids on his lips if she had anything to say about it.
When she ended the kiss, Ronnie Anne moved to lay on her back, spreading her legs. "I'm ready for the main event Lincoln."
"So am I,"
Moving above her, Lincoln positioned his rod at her entrance; Ronnie Anne shivered at the feeling of the head of Lincoln's dick kissing her outer lips.
"I'm going in now,"
Lincoln slowly pushed forward; both moaned softly as he pushed deeper into Ronnie Anne.
"You're so big, Lincoln," moaned Ronnie Anne.
"You're so tight, Ronnie," moaned Lincoln.
Lincoln finally reached the point Ronnie Anne was dreading, as he could see the nervousness on her face.
"Ronnie Anne, we can stop here if you want,"
"We're not stopping till we go all the way,"
Agreeing, Lincoln pushed in further; Ronnie Anne winced at the feeling of her hymen breaking until he was all the way in. It finally happened, and Ronnie Anne Santiago lost her virginity to Lincoln Loud. Ronnie Anne had an uncomfortable look on her face concerning Lincoln.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm okay; it just stings a little; you can start moving,"
Taking it slow, Lincoln began thrusting while Ronnie Anne began feeling a mix of pain and pleasure, although the pain was going away. The pleasure grew faster and greater than she had expected; he reached deeper than ever.
"Oh Lincoln, harder, don't stop, please,"
Lincoln became more aggressive as he held onto Ronnie Anne's hips thrusting into her like a beast unleashed.
"Ronnie, your pussy is so tight; it feels amazing,"
"Enjoy it because it's all yours,"
Lincoln and Ronnie Anne moaned hard with each thrust and began kissing to muffle their moaning. Ronnie Anne felt amazing, the passion from every thrust, so much her arms and legs wrapped around Lincoln, not wanting to let him go. Eventually, both felt the end coming.
"I'm Cumming," said Lincoln.
"Me too!"
Both came simultaneously as Lincoln filled Ronnie Anne with his seed while thrusting into her. They both collapsed as they held onto each other to catch their breaths as they rested.
"That was amazing," said Ronnie Anne.
"Yeah, it really was,"
"So, up for another round? I can feel you're still hard inside of me,"
"I can go all night,"
Ronnie Anne giggled before they changed positions; this time, Lincoln was on his back while Ronnie Anne was on top. Taking hold of his dick, Ronnie Anne positioned it right at her entrance. As Lincoln looked up, his mind flashed back to that night with Sam remembering the last time a woman was on top of him like this. A shiver went down his spine; however, he quickly brushed it off along with that memory, determined to move on from it not just for his sake but for everyone's sake.
"Lincoln, are you okay?"
"I'm fine,"
"Are you sure?"
Lincoln said nothing as he thrust upward into Ronnie Anne, reinserting himself and causing her to fall, taking the rest in herself. Lincoln then grabbed Ronnie Annne's ass, grabbing a handful of both cheeks; he began bouncing her on his dick before she matched his rhythm.
"Can't let you do all the work, Lame-O," she moaned.
Leaning forward, Ronnie Anne locked Lincoln's face between her tits and moaned his name repeatedly while he did the same between her tits.
"Oh fuck, harder… harder Linky fuck me real good with that dick,"
Ronnie Anne was lost in the feeling; years of repressing her sexual urges were finally released. Despite everything, Ronnie Anne was grateful Lincoln soundproofed her and Sid's apartment so no one could hear her horny cries right now.
"You feel so good, Ronnie Anne!"
"So do you,"
The two continued slamming into each other until that feeling came back again.
"Lincoln, I'm cumming again!"
"I feel it too,"
With one final thrust, they came again, continuing to slam into each other as they rode out their orgasms. Removing herself, Ronnie Anne lay beside Lincoln, staring lovingly at him.
"I can get used to this," she teased.
"So can I,"
"Enough for one more round?"
"Don't you think we're going a little overboard,"
"Heck no, I've waited years and repressed my wants for so long," said Ronnie Anne as she got up on all fours and shook her ass at Lincoln. "Try and tell me you don't want to hit this from behind," teased Ronnie Anne.
Lincoln said nothing, but his dick responded as it instantly became hard again, much to Ronnie Anne's delight.
"I knew you wanted more Linky,"
"After all the monsters and creatures I fought, this woman's ability to arouse me maybe my undoing, and I like it," he thought.
Getting behind her, Lincoln took a few minutes to massage Ronnie Anne's ass before spreading her cheeks. Slamming back inside her, Lincoln wasted no time slamming his pelvis into Ronnie Anne's ass.
"Oh, Lincoln harder!"
Lincoln happily obliged as he began thrusting harder and harder. Suddenly a dirty idea popped into his head as he raised his hand and slapped Ronnie Anne on her butt cheeks, making the Latina woman "eep" in surprise.
"Lincoln, what are you doing?"
"Just a little payback for all the pranks you pulled on me when we were kids,"
Lincoln continued spanking, listing every prank Ronnie Anne pulled on him, and there were many. Ronnie Anne giggled at each one while yelping at each slap; she knew Lincoln was holding back, wanting to "punish" her but not hurt her.
"Keep going. I've been very bad,"
"The sound of thrusting, Spanking, and moans filled Ronnie Anne's bedroom until neither one could hold back anymore. With one final thrust, they came again together, continuing to slam into each other until they collapsed. Later, as the two basked in the afterglow, they held hands while cuddling.
"I think I finally understand why Bobby and Lori are so lovey-dovey," said Ronnie Anne.
"But let's not show it in front of them; the last thing we both need is for them to rub it in our faces that they were right,"
"I agree with you 100%,"
"Happy birthday Ronnie Anne Santiago," yawned Lincoln.
"Thank you, Lincoln Loud," replied Ronnie Anne as she yawned.
The two shared one more kiss before telling each other, "I love you," one more time before drifting off to sleep while holding hands. As they slept, the runes on Lincoln's body began returning. Suddenly, their connected hands began glowing, causing the runes to fade away; however, a new rune appeared on the back of both hands, showing a new development they'd face when they woke up.
Later
Returning home at about 2:00 a.m. Sid had been out joyriding on the cyclotron, even stopping a crime in progress before deciding to call it a night. Entering the apartment, she noticed how quiet it was and decided to check on Ronnie Anne. Opening her door slightly, expecting her bestie to be asleep, which she was, but she wasn't expecting Lincoln to be asleep in bed with her, both obviously naked under the sheets. Getting over the initial shock, Sid excitingly closes the door as quietly as possible before rushing to her room. Pulling out her phone, Sid speed-dialed Carlota waking her up.
"Sid, it's 2:00 a.m., and we had a long night. Can't this wait,"
"No, it can't; Ronnie Anne and Lincoln did it; they actually did it!"
"Seriously?" Asked Carlota, waking up.
"I just saw them sleeping together in bed,"
"Eeeeee, I'm so proud of my prima; let's congratulate the love birds in the morning," said a happy Carlota.
"I can't wait; good night, Carlota,"
"Good night,"
The two hung up, and Sid got ready for bed, excited for the morning.
Elsewhere
Sitting in his mansion in Huntington Oaks, Richard Allsand was contemplating his options.
"Damn it, I lost one of my best associates, and now the ones responsible are running loose in Great Lake City; these fools may become a problem if not dealt with fast," he thought aloud. I still need to figure out how to take away Loud's restaurant; maybe I can get it through his son," he thought.
Richard contemplated ways to convince Lincoln to turn over Lynn's table to him but couldn't think of a good idea.
"Where's that boy when I need him? He's been missing for weeks,"
Suddenly hearing his doorbell, Richard answered, very annoyed someone was bothering him so late at night until he opened the door and found Edgar waiting.
"So you finally decided to return; you look a mess, boy; what happened?"
"A lot, but first, I want to introduce you to someone,"
"Huh?"
Stepping out of the shadows was a voluptuous woman dressed in a yellow and black dress. Across her eyes was a pair of yellow and black shades. Richard couldn't help but feel something was off with this woman, noticing the yellowish-black tint on her skin.
"Who are you?"
"This is my new fiance. Her name is Bea Queen," Edgar replied with a slight tint of fear.
"It's very nice to meet you, Mr. Allsand," said Bea, her voice buzzing a little.
"Fiance!?" Replied Richard, unable to process what he had just heard.
"You might say it was love at first sting," he said nervously. "Oh, and there's one more thing,"
"What is it, boy?"
"Surprise, you're going to be a grandpa,"
End Of Ch. 16.
