AN: I'll have you all know that I came up with the name Full House Gang: Rise for Power or Full Deck: Rise for Power before Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power was announced. I'm not even the biggest Lord of the Rings fan, though I do recognize why the series is popular.
Loud music boomed as children danced in the gymnasium of the Royal Woods Elementary School. It was the Sadie Hawkins Dance as almost everyone managed to find a partner to dance with.
Lincoln was not one of them as he stood by the wall, nearly leaning on it as he watched the other kids dance.
He saw Cristina on the dance floor as she didn't seem to have a partner. She was looking around nervously.
Lincoln took a deep breath before making his way toward her. He rubbed his arm as he was nervous. Cristina had made it clear that she wanted nothing to do with him, maybe this time would be different.
The hope in his heart died instantly as another boy got to him first and Cristina practically flew into his arms. Lincoln immediately turned around and headed back into the wall. He leaned his back on it as he watched sadly as Cristina and the boy danced in complete synchronization with one another.
Letting out a sigh, Lincoln placed his hands in his pockets and contemplated leaving. But then a blue light shined the entire gymnasium, making Lincoln cover his eyes because of the brightness. When the light faded, no one else seemed confused at the sudden blue light.
In the middle of the dancing floor was a glowing, blue, massive sphere. Lincoln recognized the sphere; it was the Omni Core from Ace Savvy.
The Omni Core was powerful that could alter reality, allow characters to travel in time, and allow characters to transport to different locations in the universe. It could even allow characters to travel to different universes where Ace Savvy can meet different versions of Ace Savvy.
Lincoln was confused as no one even reacted to the Omni Core's presence. They continued to dance like there wasn't a massive, glowing, blue sphere in the gymnasium. Still, Lincoln was curious as he approached the blue globe.
He passed a look at Cristina who glanced at him and scooted away with her dance partner. Lincoln dropped his head at that.
"Hey."
"Huh?" Lincoln looked around as he stood in front of the Omni Core. No one was looking at him.
He looked back at the Omni Core and jumped as a hand came out of it. The hand opened in an offering gesture. It beckoned him to come.
Lincoln stared at the hand before looking at everyone else, who still hadn't reacted. The hand beckoned him to come again.
Not sure what he was doing, Lincoln lifted his hand and grabbed the hand coming out of the Omni Core. Lincoln was slowly and gently pulled into the Omni Core, looking at Cristina who kissed the boy she was dancing with before he was overcome with the core's blue light.
Lincoln found himself in a different area with several other kids in dark blue sci-fi school uniforms dancing. The one holding his own hand was Koji who smiled at him, Lincoln smiled back at him. Lincoln used his free hand to grab Koji's other hand and the two began to dance along the dance floor.
They kept stumbling and bumping into other kids, but they held onto one another as they smiled nervously at each other. A giant ray shot into the sky, blue light shining over all of them as it was visible from the large windows on the wall and on the ceiling. The two stopped dancing, staring at the scene. Everyone else looked at the blast in awe but the two stared worriedly at the blue light.
Lincoln woke up and found himself in the guest room of the Pingreys house. He looked at the time and found himself having a few minutes before he had to get ready for school, so he decided to work on his comic.
He drew Ace Savvy meeting a beautiful girl. Spade saw her at school and was smitten by her beauty. When she looks his way, he nervously averts his eyes while blushing-
Lincoln balled up the paper as he realized the girl looked like Cristina. He'll draw Spade and Seif finding the Ace Base instead.
He drew Spade looking sadly at a family photo. When he placed the frame back on the stool, he noticed a white corner poking out onto the photo. Confused, Spade opened the frame and found a map that leads somewhere outside Citro City. Spade and Seif decide to follow the map. While they exit the great wall, he would draw One-Eyed Jack trying to sabotage Citro Force.
He closed his unfinished comic book on the table, got dressed, and left the room.
He left the door opened, which allowed Carter to crawl in and enter the guest room.
"Goo gah." Carter replied, before noticing a colorful book that laid on the desk sticking up from the desk which got the infant's curiosity. "Goo?"
Carter was a climber, so he managed to climb onto the chair and onto the desk. He looked down at all the drawings on the desk.
Later, Carter waddled as fast as he could out of the room and down the stairs.
Lincoln had finished eating the breakfast Mrs. Pingrey cooked and went back upstairs but not before thanking Mrs. Pingrey for the meal.
"Hey there, Carter." Lincoln greeted as he passed the infant.
Carter rushed to his mother and immediately pulled on her pant leg. He kept pointing in the direction where Lincoln went while babbling "Wincoln mad Sady! Wincoln mad Sady!"
"That's right, that is Lincoln." Mrs. Pingrey said, smiling at her youngest child.
Carter slapped his hand on his head with an annoyed scowl. He then placed his hands on his hips while puffing out his chest in superhero fashion, he then made a snarling face as he raised his arms while waddling around like he was a monster, then stopped and pointed at the top of the stairs.
Mrs. Pingrey just stared at the baby, completely confused by his antics.
Groaning, Carter crawled toward the chest in the family room. He started digging out a bunch of toys, tossing them out as he was searching for something specific.
Eventually Lincoln came down the stairs with his backpack.
"Carol, could you drop me off at my house real quick?" Lincoln asked.
"Sure." Carol said as she, her siblings, and Lincoln went out through the front door.
The infant eventually found what he was looking for. He waddled toward her mother with two different toys. One was of Ace Savvy and the other was of Godzilla. Carter then slammed the two toys together, making monster sounds. Well, monster sounds a baby could make at their best.
"Oh so you like Ace Savvy and Godzilla, just like Lincoln." Mrs. Pingrey said.
Carter just stared at his mother unimpressed.
Lincoln entered the door to his empty house and went up the stairs. He then stopped and turned his direction to Lola and Lana's shared bedroom. His fists clenched and his eyes narrowed. He stomped into the door and slammed open the door. He saw that Lola's stuffed animals were gone and that Lana's pets were missing.
He searched Lola's side of the room: opened all her drawers, lifted her mattress, emptied the pillows, looked under her bed, searched her closet. There was nothing, Lola had taken practically everything with her to Hollywood. There were no dresses, no pageant tools, she didn't even leave her stash of backup tiaras.
"Clever girl." Lincoln growled.
He noticed a whole on the crack window and saw a rock. He picked it up and saw that it had writing on it, 'NOBODY LIKES YOU, SEXIST PIG!'
They aimed at the wrong window.
With that he left Lola and Lana's room and headed into his own. That crazy mob will probably be at school and might try something different.
He turned on his laptop and typed in it, editing the cameras in his room. Luan and Lisa weren't here but Lincoln didn't want to risk it when they came home.
Once that was done, he crawled under his bed and opened a hidden hatch. He took out the security box and opened it.
There was high doubt that the crazy mob would have calmed down.
He grabbed his folding knife and his paintball pistol. He placed the folding knife in his pocket and holstered the paintball pistol in his pants.
The restaurant inside the hotel had been quarantined after Lily's massive nearly lethal fart gas. The owner of the hotel had wanted to ban the sisters from entering the luxurious hotel but Maisie had protested against it. She explained that the young actresses needed a suitable environment to change the world.
The girls were in their hotel room, getting into their costumes.
"Ha!" Lola said smugly, "Seems like our sweet baby sister isn't as precious as she seems."
Lily glared back angrily and blew a raspberry at her.
"Shut up, Lola!" Luna said annoyed, "We've had enough of you spouting crap about your siblings!"
"I told you! I didn't know he was gonna post that online!" Lola yelled. She was fed up with her sisters acting like she was a Nazi.
"It doesn't matter if you meant it or not. You lied about Lincoln and now he's probably mad at us even more." Lana said, annoyed while looking under the bed. "Has anyone seen Padding?"
"Who?" The others asked.
"The duck I took in?" Lana said, annoyed that her sisters didn't know her friends' names.
"Oh." They all said before declining to have seen the duck.
"Why'd you bring your pets here anyway?" Lynn asked.
"So they could be in the movie too. Besides, Lincoln might hurt them." Lana explained. Though Lincoln has never killed any of her pets but whenever Lana got in a fight with her siblings, the pets would rush to defend her which would sometimes result in them getting hurt. Plus, the picture with a baby Lincoln holding a dead chipmunk made her want to never leave her pets alone with Lincoln.
"Um, Lana," Lori said nervously, "how about we leave the animals here." The oldest sister has figured out what may have happened to the duck and didn't want to devastate Lana with the news.
Before Lana could protest, she was interrupted by Luan.
"Girls, can we seriously talk about the movie?"
"What about it?" Lynn asked.
Luan looked at her athletic sister, then at the others.
"Does nobody seriously see this movie for what it is?" Luan asked, incredulously.
Leni began explaining, "Oh, first Saver beats up Ace Savvy then kills him, then Saver acts like a hero while saying she's the 'correct' hero, then inspires the Full House Gang-"
"Okay, I'll say it." Luan said. "The movie is awful."
"How do you know that, we haven't seen a clip yet?" Lana asked, confused about her sister writing off the movie.
"Yeah, it's too early to judge my movie." Lola said.
"Our movie!" Luna corrected.
"How do you guys not realize that this movie has issues? The main villain comes off as a whiny, immature child and the jokes-" Luan was interrupted as all their phones beeped. It was a message from Piper, she was telling them to head to the set.
Lola got another beep from her phone and saw that it was Winston.
"You girls go on. But you better not leave without me!" Lola screeched.
No one had acknowledged her as they left the room. The 6-year-old calmed herself before answering her phone.
"Hi, Lola." Winston greeted before frowning. "Not that I love you any less but ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND SAYING ALL THOSE THINGS ABOUT LINCOLN?! DON'T YOU REMEMBER HOW DANGEROUS HE IS?! HE'S LIKE A DEMON WHEN HE'S ANGRY!"
"Look, I didn't know that Preston recorded it or was going to place it online. I didn't even mean all that stuff. I was just trying to become the main star since they chose Lori and she's terrible at acting." Lola defended herself. "I even sent him an apology text."
"Did he say anything back?" Winston asked, nervous for his girlfriend.
"No." Lola answered.
"Lola, I don't want to alarm you but yesterday Lincoln went into the art room with pencil crayons and they were pink, yellow, and lots of red."
There was silence between them before Lola finally responded.
"Oh nooo." Dread fell over Lola knowing she was gonna get it once she returned home. This furthered her fuel to become the star and overthrow Lori. Maybe she could hire bodyguards to protect from her brother, she remembered her family hiring Conner
"Sorry, Winston, I got to go! Stay handsome!"
Lola said before closing her phone and heading out. "YOU GIRLS BETTER NOT LEAVE WITHOUT ME OR ELSE!"
Girl Jordan frowned as she passed the teacher's lounge, they were in a loud heated conversation about the angry mob and Lincoln. Some teachers had wanted to expel Lincoln to appease the mob while others protested in Lincoln's defense.
She saw her friends by the hallway and approached them.
"Is it just me or has the angry mob got even angrier?" Rusty said.
"They have." Stella said as she held up a doll that looked like Lincoln with 'X' on its eyes and was placed inside a miniature coffin. She had tried to toss the disturbing thing away but the mobbers outside screamed for her to keep it whenever she got near a trash can.
"Even worse, it seems the ALG is teaching the other kids." Zach said pointing to Daniel who was lecturing a bunch of pre-kindergarten students on how evil Lincoln is with a puppet of Lincoln that had devil horns on its head.
"When I get my hands on that spoiled brat, I'm gonna-", Paige swore.
"Nice toy. Did the Morticians club make it?" Lincoln said with no emotion in his voice as he stared at the doll version of himself in Stella's hands.
Clyde recognized the tone in Lincoln's voice. "Look, Lincoln about what Lola-"
"It's fine. I'm going to class." He gave no room for his friends to speak and walked passed them.
His friends watched him walk away with sympathetic looks in their eyes before Paige went irate.
"As soon as that brat comes home, I'm gonna shove my fist so far down her throat and make a puppet of her neck!" Paige said dangerously.
"Wh-what?" Rusty stuttered. The other kids were horrified by her words.
The camera rolled as Rube slammed the last guy on to the ground.
"The wrong has been corrected." Rube said with a smirk as she placed a foot on a guy's back.
"And cut!" Preston said with a smile. "Very good, Rube." The men on the ground got up as the scene ended.
"We expect nothing less of a strong woman." Piper praised.
"Thank you. You two are too kind." Rube said with a smile.
Piper then turned to the Loud sisters who stood at the side.
"Since Lori is still learning from her acting coach, we have decided to film the next scene without her. We will film in the fairy forest room with…" The female director explained. Each sister, except Luan and Lily, looked hopeful at this.
"Our precious Darly followed by Lana and Lola."
"Yes!" Lola cheered. Lana was also glad about getting a scene. Lucy's smile dropped, Luna was disappointed, Lynn crossed her arms in irritation. Lola looked back at her athletic sisters and stuck her tongue out at her, this only made Lynn's blood boil. Leni was happy for the twins but Luan decided to speak.
"Um, Piper? Were we supposed to root for Saver in that scene because all those guys did was explain to the lady about-"
"Now let's get rid of that nasty frog." Piper suggested, ignoring Luan and looking at Lana.
The older twin stopped smiling as Hops popped out of her overall chest pocket with an equally concerned look.
"What?" Lana asked.
As if on cue, a security guard roughly grabbed Lana by the shirt and plucked the frog out of the chest pocket. Hops was terrified as he was held in an unfamiliar hand and thrown into the air. The frog landed directly in the trash can.
"HOPS!" Lana screamed in horror.
"Darly, are you ready?" Piper asked.
The preteen flipped over towards her, kicking Lucy in the face in the process as she stood upright. The goth recoiled and held her nose in pain.
Darly stood upright, looked back at the goth and said, "Try to stay out of the way next time."
The 8-year-old just looked at her with a frown, but Darly already had her back to her.
"Now we can film, let's go." Piper said as she left the room with a giddy Lola and Darly who backflipped out of the room.
"But-" Lana tried to protest but she was forcefully pushed out of the room by the security guard.
Leni bent down to check on Lucy.
"Are you okay?" Leni asked, worried.
Lucy just stood there with a frown before walking away.
Leni watched her go before running to the trash can and taking Hops out. The frog gave the teen a grateful look before hopping away.
"This is bogus!" Lynn complained, kicking the door open and stomping out of the room.
Luna just sat down laying her cheek on her palm as she stared unhappily. She then got up and said, "I'm gonna check that room that has the dance scene for the movie." She then exited the room too.
Luan just sat on one of the chairs, placing a hand on her head as she was feeling a headache about this movie.
Lily waddled off to the side, not looking at any of her older sisters. She seemed despondent.
Leni decided to look at the things behind the scenes. The scenery in these rooms made the scenes look real. She wishes Lincoln could see it, he might even be able to find a sci-fi room he could play in.
She then went off the set and noticed something on the back table concealed under the blue covers. Curious, Leni pulled the covers off and saw that they were chocolate-chip cookies.
"Ooh, cookies!" Leni said happily and eagerly grabbed one. She did not notice the note that read, 'For Lori, from Preston and Piper.'
Her chewing slowed for a bit as she noticed something tasted off about these cookies. Shrugging it off, then she started chewing eagerly and reached for another one.
The room started to change as she now found herself outside in the beautiful shiny sky in a field full of daisies.
There were teddy bears, dolls, and Blarney the dinosaur. All were smiling at her. Leni smiled at the sight.
And the butterflies. The cute, pretty butterflies that hovered around her.
"Ooh, pretty butterflies. I'm gonna getcha, I'm gonna getcha." Leni said happily as she tried to reach for them, but they all playfully dodged her grasps
But in reality, she was still in the Stether's building and she was reaching out for nothing. The security guards glanced at her before averting their gaze in little interest.
"Hey, come back." Leni giggled as she ran out of the room.
Other than the loud protest outside, class went along fine. When lunch time arrived, Lincoln was about to depart from the line until Clyde stopped him.
"Are you going to be alright?" Clyde asked.
"Yeah, you guys go on." Lincoln said. "I'm gonna eat somewhere else."
"Are you sure that's the right thing to do? Dr. Lopez said when you're feeling down you should-"
"I'm feeling fine." Lincoln said. "I'll see you guys after lunch."
With that, Lincoln walked in the opposite direction.
"But Lincoln-" Clyde tried to protest but Girl Jordan placed a hand on his shoulder and shook her head.
"Let him go. He wants to be alone."
Lincoln entered the art room and closed the door behind him. He then began to finish drawing the artwork he was working on.
An explosion erupted from the sci-fi hangar and a running Clyde was sent off his feet and onto his stomach. Clyde groaned as he got up, looked back at the destroyed hangar before dawning a satisfied smirk as he ran off.
A camera viewed the whole scene.
In a dark room, the ruler of Citro City, Clue, sat on his thrown as he watched the screen that recorded everything.
"It seems we have a saboteur." Clue said with a frown before it turned into a sinister smile, he activated the holographic map and saw only one of his Citro Knights were nearby.
"Wraith, deal with him please."
Clyde ran as fast as he could. 'It's only a matter of time before Citro Troopers show up!'
He soon entered the industrial district, which looked a little grim but he knew that he didn't have time to be picky.
"What?" Clyde looked up and in the distance he saw black and green figure crouched upon the rooftop.
The African American blinked and the figure was gone. He looked at any nearby rooftop before heading forward, while crouching as he was alerted.
He soon heard a lady scream, it came from an alley. He hesitated, before entering the alley to investigate. When he rounded the corner of an alley, he saw a woman on the wall with her feet dangling in the air.
SLICE!
The woman fell to the ground and laid on her side with a deep wound in her neck.
Clyde hid behind the corned and cautiously headed out of the alley, once he was far enough he started running down the street. The extra footsteps made him freeze, he turned around but there was nobody else on the street.
He began walking again, he heard the footsteps again. He stopped and the extra footsteps stopped as well. Clyde looked around, his visible eye narrowing as he looked around.
BLAST!
"AUGH!" He screamed as he was blasted from behind by a green ray. He fell to the floor with a grunt.
"What the!" Clyde got up and looked around. "Where did that attack come from?!"
SWIPE!
"OW!" There were five red gashes on Clyde's back as he had been struck from behind. Claw marks were then left on his leg.
POW!
Clyde was struck from the left and sent to the ground.
He groaned as he got up. He heard footsteps approaching at a fast pace. The African American child's hands glowed green. He raised both his fists and slammed them on to the ground, creating a green, powerful shockwave.
BOOM!
Another preteen in a black and green suit manifested as he was caught in the blast and dropped to the floor on his feet with his hands touching the ground as he was in crouching position.
The other child was Wraith, he wore a black and green suit and wore a black and green mask over his head. The eyes of the mask were green and narrowed at Clyde. There were also long claws on the black gloves he wore.
Clyde narrowed his eye and charged; Wraith charged as well. Clyde tried to punch him but the fist phased past Wraith.
"What?" Clyde asked, in shock.
Wraith phased out completely and thrusted his palm into Clyde's chest and let out an ectoplasm blast.
Screaming, Clyde was sent crashing into a wall. Wraith was immediately in front of him and pulling back his claws. Clyde rolled on the wall as the claws dug into the wall. Wraith pulled back his hands, dropping chunks of the wall and chased after Clyde.
Clyde struck a foot out to kick him but the kick phased through Wraith. Clyde stumbled and Wraith spun a kick at Clyde, sending him to the ground.
Clue smiled as he watched Wraith deal with Jack, but he figured he couldn't risk One-Eyed Jack escaping and pressed a button on the keyboard.
Clyde was sent on his back, but he scrambled to his feet and ran. Wraith gave chase.
Suddenly, huge electrical walls came up on every side of the area and locked Clyde in.
His eyes widened in horror before he was shoved into the giant electrical wall. Clyde screamed as volts traveled through his body.
Wraith's eyes narrowed as he watched his opponent being electrocuted. The one-eyed preteen then fell forward onto his stomach.
The costumed child raised his claws, readying to plunge them into One-Eyed Jack's neck.
"YAAAAAH!" Clyde screamed as his hand glowed green, and he delivered an uppercut to Wraith's chin. The attack came so fast that Wraith didn't have time to phase through it and was sent up into the air.
Clyde bolted; the giant electrical walls covered the road but there were still the buildings.
Turrets started popping out of the ground and on the walls and they aimed at Clyde. He noticed them but continued running as they opened fire.
Wraith recovered from the attack and ran in the direction Clyde went in, phasing through every solid wall.
Clyde winced as some lasers managed to hit him, but he turned the next corner where there were thankfully no turrets. He then reached the edge of the upper city and saw the lower city below the railings. He turned around to see Wraith, who managed to catch up to him, readying a green ecto blast.
Seeing no other option, Clyde jumped over the railings.
The fall took a while, but Clyde eventually hit the ground safely with his legs bent and his hands on the ground. There was no time to relax, Clyde ran pushed his back against the wall of an alleyway.
Wraith landed into the lower city and looked around, green eyes on his mask narrowing as he searched for One-Eyed Jack. He then sprinted to the left in search of his target.
Lincoln finished up the comic by drawing One-Eyed Jack peeking out of an alley where Wraith had run off in the wrong direction.
He was worried that Wraith's costume looks similar to Spiderman, but he felt like it was okay. Plus, Spiderman and Wraith have different superpowers and personalities.
He already finished up the next comic about Spade and Seif discovering the Ace Base, the area where Ace Savvy conducts his research, trains, stores evidence, keeps his gear, and many other things. The same issue also had Ace Savvy meeting his nemesis in his version, Bion Blade.
Which reminded him, he needed to go to the printing store and copy these comics. But he needed to figure how Ace Savvy's love interest would be designed.
He placed a paper on the easel and drew. Much to his horror, he drew Cristina. He balled up the paper and threw it away before starting again only for it to look like Cristina again.
"The love interest for this story will not be Cristina."
He drew again only for the beautiful girl to look like Cristina.
"The love interest will not be Cristina." Lincoln said a little louder.
He tried drawing a beautiful girl with long hair but when he finished it looked like Cristina with long hair.
Gritting his teeth, Lincoln stood up and held the pencil up in the air.
"THE LOVE INTEREST WILL NOT BE CRISTINA!" Lincoln yelled.
He drew furiously trying all sorts of different designs. He drew one of every race, but they all looked like Cristina. He drew one with a gothic look but it looked like gothic Cristina. He drew one with a score across her nose, but it just looked like a scar Cristina. Lincoln kept crumpling up paper and tossing them to the floor. Lincoln was getting more and more frustrated, he even drew a ridiculous design, but the girl looked like Cristina with dark hair, a pointy nose, and the side of her head shaved.
Seeing no other option, Lincoln covered his eyes with one hand and used his other hand to draw a pretty girl.
Lincoln smiled as he finished and removed his hands from his eyes, but his smile soon faded as he looked at the finished product. It looked just like Cristina.
"WHAT!?", he cried.
If it were another drawing, Lincoln would be impressed.
"NO!" Lincoln screamed as he ripped off the paper off the easel and ripped it apart in frustration.
He then plopped himself on his seat and sighed with his head in his hand. Maybe a bathroom break would be good right now.
"Where is he?!" Daniel demanded. He and the ALG hid their paintball rifles under the table as they planned a surprise attack.
They waited and waited but it soon became clear that their target wasn't going to show up.
"Damn it!" Papa Wheelie cursed as he threw his tray of food onto the floor.
"How can we get that Snowball if he doesn't show up!" Flat Tire complained.
Boy Jordan's lips curled upwards until they turned into a malicious grin on his face.
"I have a better idea." Boy Jordan said evilly.
The leader of the ALG told the other his plan, they each shared identical malicious grins. They all went to set the plan in motion.
Andrew and Flat Tire locked each of the cafeteria doors and locked them in. Now Lincoln's friends couldn't assist him.
When they left the cafeteria, Flat Tire pulled out his phone and pulled it to his ear.
"Mr. Flip, how would you like to make some money?" Flat Tire asked with a grin.
Caleb just finished using the toilet and went to the sink to wash his hands. As soon as he finished, he grabbed the hall pass but when he looked up at the mirror, he saw Papa Wheelie standing right behind him.
The shocked younger child turned around before he was grabbed and yanked out of the boy's bathroom, dropping the hall pass.
Outside the angry mob was still protesting.
"Oh my god!" Boy Jordan screamed as he ran out through the front door and in front of the mob. "It's horrible! Lincoln has the whole school under his control! The teachers bend over backward for Lincoln, and they treat him as their king! Every girl is being touched inappropriately; every boy is encouraged to spread their toxic masculinity!"
Everyone in the angry mob gasped.
"He turns younger innocent kids into his slaves!" Boy Jordan said in horror.
"In fact, here's one of his poor victims!" Papa Wheelie said as he brought forward Caleb, who had his hands duct taped behind his back and duct tape plastered on his mouth. The dark-skinned boy's eyes were wide and full of terror as he looked around.
"He's been forced to do all of Lincoln's homework and would get beaten up if he got a single answer wrong. This poor kid has been forced to do all of his chores and carry his backpack to his class." Papa Wheelie lied.
Caleb's eyes widened in confusion at what was being said. He tried to shake his head and shout that these older kids were lying but couldn't because of the tape over his mouth.
"Poor boy almost committed suicide." Papa Wheelie said with fake sadness, while grabbing Caleb's head roughly to keep him from shaking his head in protest.
"I was able to rescue him while Lincoln was beating him and calling him such awful things." Boy Jordan lied.
The angry mob was getting riled up, just as Boy Jordan wanted.
"And it's not just the kids in the school, it's the kids in all of Royal Woods. See how Lincoln has influenced every other kid" Boy Jordan said as he displayed a number of videos on his phone. One video showed Lana and Lola selling cookies before an older kid in a wolf mask stormed up to them and flipped the table over, stomped on all the boxes of cookies, and howled. Another video showed a pair of Princess Pony underwear being raised on the flagpole with several kids laughing as they witnessed the situation from the windows. The next video showed Luan performing a ventriloquist act on stage before a pile of garbage was poured on her. Another video showed a bruised Flip tied to the chair while a boy in a red hoodie with a hockey mask on his face ransacked Flip's Food and Fuel. The last video showed Lynn playing hockey but one member from the opposite team rushed her and hit her with a hockey stick and she was sent to the iced solid floor.
"If we don't act now, Lincoln is going to get more and more control. Next the neighborhood, then all of Royal Woods, next the United States, and finally everywhere on earth. We must deal with that menace! Deal with that menace! Deal with that menace!" Boy Jordan began to chant.
Papa Wheelie joined in. "Deal with that menace! Deal with that menace!"
"DEAL WITH THAT MENACE! DEAL WITH THAT MENACE! DEAL WITH THAT MENACE!" The angry mob chanted.
"Angry mob supplies, get your angry mob supplies!" Flip announced he received cash as the mobbers grabbed weapons. He smiled at the huge amount of money he was given.
The entire angry mob charged into the school chanting "DEAL WITH THAT MENACE! DEAL WITH THAT MENACE!"
Caleb tried to scream again but he was ignored as the angry mob charged the school. Papa Wheelie smiled and pushed Caleb to the ground, having no more use for him.
Boy Jordan smirked as he watched the mob storm into the school.
Walking out of the bathroom, Lincoln wondered if he should ask Cristina if she would like to be the love interest in his comic. He quickly shot that idea down as the redheaded girl made it clear that she wanted nothing to do with him.
Before he entered the art room, he heard a loud commotion. He turned and saw the mob storming through the hallway chanting, "DEAL WITH THAT MENACE!"
"Uh oh." The preteen's eyes widened in alarm before he bolted in the opposite direction. He turned through different hallways and let out a sigh of relief as the school's back door was in his sight.
He rushed to open it but instead of safety, he felt a large hand grab him by the scruff of his shirt and lift him into the air. The big man glared at him with gritting teeth. "You little fascist! I'll put you in the grave!"
The man held up a fist, but Lincoln reacted faster and drove his own fist into the man's nose. Lincoln was released but saw that there were several people behind the guy cradling his broken nose.
"Crap!" Lincoln cursed. He turned around and ran as the mob chased after him. He took out his paintball pistol and fired two times at the mob. Two headshots caused two mobber's to fall, causing some of the others to crash and fall over their unconscious bodies.
Lincoln took out a fire hydrant from the wall while still running and sprayed it at the remaining mobbers. He aimed and fired a blinding cloud. He kept running with the sound of the mobbers' confusion fading. He smirked back at them and turned and frowned when he saw two women, both holding pipes, glaring at him,
"We won't let you corrupt the innocent! You little sexist creep!"
Lincoln didn't stop running as he saw that they were by a water fountain. He chucked the fire hydrant at the woman on the right and climbed the water fountain and jumped off it. He slammed his foot into the woman on the left.
He landed on his feet with his legs bent and continued running, ignoring the two knocked out women.
The whole swarm of the mobbers appeared in front of him charging with lots of anger and weapons. Lincoln turned around and saw the ones chasing him from behind were catching up.
He entered the nearest room and locked it behind himself. When he finished, he turned around to find himself in Ms. Shrinivas's class. Ms. Shrinivas herself was sitting on a chair and reading the children a book. She was giving him a dirty look while the younger children just stared at him in confusion.
"Oh, great. Why did it have to be this class?" Lincoln groaned. He knew very well that Ms. Shrinivas didn't like him ever since her class got strep throat and Lisa was unable to do it because Lisa altered her personality when Lincoln asked her to act like normal kids because she was ruining his social life. He never meant for Lisa to alter herself, he meant for Lisa to stop rubbing how smart she was in everyone's face and basically rubbing it in how inferior everyone else was and making their teacher placing unrealistic high expectations on the class, who took it out on him.
Ms. Shrinivas has hated him ever since even though she should have sent her class to a hospital. You know, like ANY RESPONSIBLE-
An axe broke through the door, alarming Lincoln as he backed up away from the door.
"I GOT YOU NOW, YOU SCHOOL SHOOTER!" A man shouted from behind the door as the axe retreated and came back, tearing another part off the door.
The whole Kindergarten class screamed with fright as the door was broken down and a large man pushed through, staring at Lincoln with a death glare as he held an axe.
"What did you do?!" Ms. Shrinivas accused the preteen, while keeping her students behind her.
Lincoln ignored her, giving all his attention to the man with the axe. The man charged, raising the axe. Lincoln shifted to his left and evaded the attack, The axe swung down on to the teacher's desk. Lincoln brought up a leg to kick the guy in the side of the head right before passing him and taking out his folding knife. He pressed the blade into the back of the man's shoulder causing the man to scream in pain. Another guy carrying a crowbar came in, followed by a woman with a kitchen knife. Before Lincoln knew it, several people from the angry mob were coming through the broken door.
The preteen ripped his weapon out of the screaming guy before taking out his paintball pistol. He started firing at the mobbers coming in, causing them to jerk back and fell over as they were hit by the stinging paintballs.
Lincoln kept firing but realized he would run out of ammo due to the numerous mobbers barging in. He turned back and ran for the window. He unlocked the locks and pulled it open. He tried to crawl through, but his leg was grabbed.
"Oh no you don't, fascist!" A woman screamed as she attempted to pull the kid back in. She was met with foot to her face, giving her a bloody nose which she held in pain.
Lincoln crawled through, landing on his back outside the school. He got up, seeing several arms belonging to the angry mob coming out of the window as they tried to reach and tear him apart. They yelled several things as they cursed at him.
Seeing angry mobbers rounding the corner with weapons, Lincoln turned around and ran.
"You must believe in yourselves to become the best superhero and get rid of all the ill influences." Darly said her lines as she stood in front of Lola and Lana in the pixie forest room. They were all held by wires attached to their backs, one of which lifted Darly in the air.
"Okay, I-" Lana tried to say but Lola cut her off and stood in front of her, spreading her arms to block Lana and make herself the center of attention.
"I believe in myself with the power of love and will WHOA WHOA WHOA!" Lola screamed as the wire started raising her in the air. "What's going on?!"
Lola was shifted to the left then to the right repeatedly. The lights started changing into several different colors and loud music started blaring.
Her tomboy twin stared up at her in confusion before the wires carrying her acted up as well. Lana was lifted up and down repeatedly. "WHAT'S HAPPENIIIIIINNNNNGGGGG!" Lana was then spun around in a circle, turning her into a blue and making her dizzy.
Rock music started blaring in the room, making Preston and Piper cover their ears as they disliked this song.
Darly laughed at the sisters' predicament. Her laughter was short lived as the wire lifting her started acting up as well. Her back was slammed into the wall and then she was swung into the inside of the tree house.
"Girls, what are you doing?!" Preston demanded before Lola was swung into his gut. The glasses-wearing man held his stomach and fell over in pain with a whimper.
Fog started to cloud the room, making vision difficult.
Piper turned around to see Lana heading toward her head. She was knocked over and crashed into one of the tree props.
With no warning, Lynn kicked open the door and stomped into the room. She didn't pay attention to the loud music blaring, the lights flickering different colors, the fog that was clouding the set, or how Lola, Lana, and Darly were screaming as they were swung around by the out of control wires. She marched up to the kneeling Preston with her goal in mind.
"Listen up, Sieg! I am Lynn Loud Junior, the greatest athlete in Royal Woods and I'm the best-"
"AAAAAUUUUUGGGGGHHHHH!" Lola screamed as she was swung in Lynn's direction.
The athlete turned in the direction of the scream. Her little sister's skull crashed into her head and Lynn was sent crashing into the wall. She slid down the wall and fell over, unconscious.
Leni had found herself in the control room and she saw happy faces on the levers. In her mind, she was in a field of flowers that strangely had a control panel with all the buttons and levers had smiling faces. They all kept saying, "Push me! Push me! Push me!"
"I'll give all of you a push!" Leni said, excitedly as she kept pushing several buttons and kept pushing levers.
"YAAAAAAY!" They all said happily.
The door to the control room opened and the figure stopped to stare at Leni and saw how she was happily pushing all the levers. The figure also heard the screaming on set and slowly closed the door and left.
Soon the levers stopped cheering, in confusion Leni stopped and looked down at them. They no longer had faces. She then saw that she wasn't outside in a field of flowers and that she was in a control room.
"Huh?" Leni asked. "Where am I?"
The door to the control room slammed open and a security guard entered. The guard looked around and recognized that the teen had been responsible for the mess.
"WHAT IN THE EVER LIVING F*** ARE YOU DOING?!"
Leni stopped; she turned toward the door to see a technician staring at her in shock.
"You just said a bad word." Leni replied.
Lincoln ran down the street, the angry mob not too far behind with their expressions of scowls and weapons being raised.
He ran into a clothes store and locked the door behind him. He backed up as a few of the people from the angry mob started banging on the lock door.
Lincoln backed up. There were so many of them, that door couldn't hold them for long.
He saw that the majority of the mobbers were piling on the display window, banging on it.
The visible cracks that were growing told Lincoln that he needed to beat feet. He turned around and ran to the back of the store.
CRASH!
The angry mob had crashed through the display window and piled in on each other. The mannequins on display wearing clothes fell over. They scrambled to untangle themselves and catch their target, but Lincoln already reached the back door and entered the alley.
As Lincoln slammed the door shut, he saw two women that must have been part of the angry mob because they were screaming while charging at him.
Lincoln grabbed the trash lid and used it to block the bat being swung at him. He winced at the impact before shoving the bat off and delivered a high kick to the woman's face as she fell over unconscious.
The other woman screamed while raising a cleaver, Lincoln quickly threw the trash lid. It spun through the air as it connected to the woman's forehead, sending her to the ground. Lincoln stepped over their unconscious forms as he ran.
When he ran out of the alley, he was met with a hockey stick slamming into the face.
Lincoln grunted and fell to the floor as he felt a foot stomp on his stomach. He noticed two other figures, one man that stood over his head while holding a kitchen knife and a woman that was by his legs while holding a drill. They and the man with his food on his stomach gave him devious grins.
The man drove the knife downward to his face, but Lincoln slammed his fist into the knee of the leg that pinned him down. The man held his knee in pain, removing the pressure from Lincoln's stomach.
The preteen moved quickly. He shifted his head out of the knife and split his legs to avoid the drill. Lincoln pushed himself off the ground and drove both of his feet into the woman's chest. She fell over and Lincoln got up and sidestepped the swinging knife. It managed to slash at his shirt. He then ducked under another swipe and delivered an upper cut to the man's chin before punching him three times in the stomach.
The mob from inside the store burst out from the back door and resumed their chase.
Lincoln ran but saw that mobbers from the right and the left headed in his direction. With no other option, Lincoln ran forward but stopped once he saw mobbers approaching from the front. He was surrounded.
His eyes widen in terror as he couldn't find a way to escape the angry mob.
A man swung a bat from behind, Lincoln ducked under it. A woman swiped a knife at him, but the preteen leaned out of the way.
He then struck his leg out behind kicking a guy in the stomach. He then slammed his elbow into the woman's stomach.
Lincoln threw himself to evade a large swing from an axe, rolling on his sides on the ground to avoid a large foot from stomping on him. Landing on his back, he saw a man raise a metal rod above him. Lincoln took out his folding knife, swung the blade out and jammed it into the guy's calf.
"AUGH!" The man screamed in pain as he dropped the pipe and cradled his injury.
Striking his foot out, Lincoln kicking a woman in the knee, who dropped a pipe.
Lincoln's narrowed eyes darted all around before grabbing the metal rod and running forward while also grabbing the pipe as he charged into the pipe.
With weapons in both hands, Lincoln barreled through in a barrage. He swung the pipe in his right hand and swung the metal rod in his left. He ducked under a swinging crowbar, slamming the metal rod into a woman's side. He ran and shifted out of the direction of a knife being thrusted at him before slamming the pipe on to the top of a man's head. He leaped over a lower swung bat and kicked a mobber in the face. He managed to dodge most of the swings, allowing the weapons that would deal less damage while focusing on the much more lethal weapons. He also scaled which attacks he could safely block and the ones he needed to avoid at all costs.
But he was getting tired, he couldn't keep fending these guys off. His body demanded that he rest but his instincts told him to hold it out. There was also the issue of his body taking damage, though Lincoln was sure to avoid the sharp ones.
One person tried to pepper spray his face so Lincoln ducked under that but before he could strike the offender, he saw a machete swinging downward at him. He winces as he uses both the metal rod and the pipe to block a machete.
Something turned rushing toward Lincoln while he was occupied. Lincoln turned only to be hit by a baseball bat. Lincoln was sent rolling on to the ground by a construction site. He held his stomach in pain as he growled at the person who hit him, a muscular man with a black beard and a black mohawk on his head.
"Stan!" Lincoln growled.
"Hello, Snowy!" Stan grinned down at him before yelling out in anger as he swung the baseball down. Lincoln rolled out of the way and kicked him in the knee.
"Ow!" Stan recoiled and held his knee in pain "Why you!"
Stan grabbed the preteen by his head and lifted him off the ground. He slammed his knee into Lincoln's stomach, causing Lincoln to cough out blood.
The muscular man then gave the boy a sinister grin and wrapped his arms around him, giving Lincoln a brutal bear hug with the intent to crush his insides. Lincoln gritted his teeth as he struggled as his arms were pinned to his side, but he managed to reach into his pocket.
POP!
"GAH!" Stan was forced to release Lincoln as he held his other knee, which was splattered with green paint.
Lincoln ducked under a swinging wrench from behind and kicked the attacking mobber in the face. As the mobber fell over, Lincoln caught the wrench in the air and swung it in Stan's direction, but his hand was caught by the muscular man.
The boy found himself lifted in the air again swunged into the mob. Lincoln dropped to the ground and was struck by several objects repeatedly.
"Keep beating him! Don't let him get up!" Stan shouted, as he ran toward something.
There weren't that many remaining, but they put all they had into their blows. His arms, legs, and back felt the blows of the blunt objects. Lincoln gritted his teeth as he felt blood coughing out. He then screamed and drove his fist into the nearest guy's private parts. The man let out a girly scream as he fell over. Lincoln stood up and grabbed the wooden plank his attacker was using. He slammed it over his head behind himself and hit the attacking woman over the head.
A man went behind him and took out a taser. Lincoln turned around and slashed his folding knife at his hand.
"OW!" The mobber screamed, holding his bleeding hand and dropping the taser. Lincoln then delivered an axe kick, knocking him out.
Only four angry mobbers left as they all charged him. One in the front, one on his left, one on his right, and one from behind.
Lincoln took out his paintball pistol and fired at the one in front of him. He fell over with blue paint on his forehead, Lincoln aimed at the woman on the right, but his paintball gun just clicked with nothing coming out.
"Dang it!" Lincoln cursed before ducking under a swinging hammer.
He then sidestepped a metal rod from behind and kicked the offender behind him. He grabbed the metal rod and swung it to the mobber on the right before striking it on the mobber on the right.
Lincoln then turned to face the rest of the angry mob but stopped. All the people of the angry mob were on the ground, some moaning in pain while others were unconscious.
"HA!" Lincoln taunted before groaning in pain and holding his stomach. "Ow. Ow. Ow." Something was damaged.
His shirt had been torn; guess he didn't dodge those sharp edges as fast as he hoped.
He took out his phone and turned the camera on reverse to see his face. There was a bruise over his right eye, a gash on his lower lip and a bruise on his cheek.
"Nothing too bad." Lincoln sighed, with relief.
He then noticed the taser on the ground and picked it up, he observed both sides of it before deciding to keep it for himself.
A noise got his attention as he looked up, the noise was coming from the construction site. The construction site had Lord Tetherby's face plastered on the large sign. He must have been funding the construction. The noise came from the crane that was holding a wrecking ball which was being lowered. Lincoln just stared at in confusion. When it got to the ground level it began turning.
Lincoln's eyes widened in horror. "OH SHI-" While holding his stomach in pain, he ran into the alley while the wrecking ball swung in his direction at full force.
BOOM!
The wrecking ball crashed into the two stores Lincoln ran between, causing them to crumble and fall apart. Dust flew in the air and debris fell as the stores were no more.
Driving the crane, Stan smirked and pulled the wrecking ball back. He frowned when he didn't find any blood or pieces of Lincoln on the wrecking ball.
Stan got out and inspected the wrecking ball, nothing but dust and rubble.
Eyes narrowed; he turned his head where the two stores used to be as dust was still in the air. There was no way that weakling survived that.
He marched into the dust cloud and started stomping around, trying to feel for the brat's bloody corpse or any of the blood. He couldn't navigate because of the dust cloud but he was not leaving until he got a good look at the kid's corpse.
"RAAAUUGH!"
Stan felt something leap on his back with an arm wrapped around his throat while a taser was jammed into his chest.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" Stan screamed in pain as volts traveled through his body.
Lincoln kept his grip until Stan fell over.
He shakily stood up, panting. His hair was disheveled, his clothes were torn, and he was completely covered in dust.
"That was close!" Lincoln panted, placing his hands on his knees. "That was way too close!"
He then scowled and kicked Stan's unconscious body for good measure before walking away.
Flip was grinning as he counted all the money, he made selling that angry mob equipment.
He then looked up to see Lincoln covered in dust with disheveled hair, stomping toward him with a furious expression.
Flip raised his arms as he tried to explain. "Hey, kid it's nothing personal it's just busin- AAAAAUUUUUGGGGGHHHHH!" Flip screamed as Lincoln jammed the taser into his stomach.
Lincoln watched the cheapskate fall over dizzily.
"Mommy, I didn't take the candy from the baby." Flip muttered in his dazed state.
Lincoln's hardened glare turned into concern, not for Flip but for the Caleb who was on the floor, restrained with duct tape. He rushed to the younger child and gently ripped the duct tape off to not hurt Caleb.
"Lincoln, I'm sorry. I tried to tell them that Boy Jordan and his group were lying but..."
"Don't worry about it I'm fine." Lincoln said, giving him a reassuring smile, "They didn't hurt you, did they?"
"N-no, not really." Caleb said, though they weren't at all gentle when they abducted him.
Lincoln walked toward Flip's stand and pocketed all the money before grabbing Caleb's hand and walking him back to his class.
When the bell for school ending rang, students exited their classrooms to see unconscious people laying in the hallway.
Colin stared at one who had purple paint on his forehead while Stewie nudged the unconscious man with his foot. Stewie then lowered his head to the man's leg, rolled the pants sleeve up and licked his lips before baring his teeth.
The white-shirted Fox kid sank his teeth into the man's lower leg savagely, like a dog with a chew toy.
Stuart and Scotty eventually pulled him off, but Stewie wasn't resisting like he usually did as he instead slumped in their hold.
"Nobody tastes as good as Lincoln." Stewie said with disappointment before grinning as he saw more unconscious people in the hallway and salivated. "But there's still more! Plus, the other kids I haven't tasted yet. Like you, Colin!"
Colin stared at him with wide eyes as the Fox kid stared back at him while licking his lips. The redhead hurriedly walked away.
When he got enough distance, he sighed in relief. He knew the Fox quintuplets could be crazy and that Stewie was the craziest by far but sometimes Stewie just creeped him out.
"Hey, Colin?"
Colin turned to see Lincoln standing outside the art class. The 6-year-old immediately noticed the older kid's state. His hair was a mess, and his torn clothes were covered in dust
"Lincoln, are you okay?!" Colin asked in a panic tone.
"Yeah, I-"
"Why are you covered in dust?" Colin asked.
"Never mind that." Lincoln said, swatting the dust off his clothes. "Do you have a minute?"
"Sure." Colin said as he followed Lincoln into the empty art room. Lincoln shut the door and faced the Kindergartener.
"I need your help." Lincoln said.
"With what?!" Colin asked happily, barely containing the excitement of Lincoln having a task for him.
"I need to copy a few pages of something at the printing store and I need help carrying them to my house with no questions asked. Can you help me?" Lincoln explained.
Stars were in Colin's eyes as Lincoln was asking him for help with something Lincoln considered important.
"Yes, I can!" Colin said, eagerly nodding his head up and down.
"This will be our secret okay, so you can't tell anyone." Lincoln explained.
"Yes sir!" Colin said happily, saluting the older kid like he was a soldier.
The printing store was quiet and nearly empty. Colin saw Lincoln's relief at this as he had been getting stares as they walked here.
The two boys made their way to a door that led to a private printing room.
"Okay, wait here." Lincoln said, grabbing one duffle bag. He took out his phone and gave it to Colin.
"Here you can watch this video until I'm done." Lincoln said.
"Okay." Colin said, taking the phone. It displayed a video of Ace Savvy fighting Card Shark in the last episode of Spectacular Ace Savvy before the show was canceled.
Lincoln entered the private printing room as Colin watched the video. He watched Ace Savvy ducking under a swinging spear then backflipping to avoid a blast from the spear.
After a while, Lincoln came out with one duffle bag and sat it by Colin and went back inside the private printing room with another duffle bag.
It wasn't the main reason he agreed to help but Colin knew that Lincoln was copying his Ace Savvy - Godzilla comic. The redhead checked to make sure Lincoln was occupied with the printing machine before opening the bag and taking the comic out.
Again, this wasn't the main reason he agreed to help but curiosity overcame Lincoln. Besides, it's not like Lincoln told him NOT to read what he was printing; all Lincoln told him was to not tell anyone that he was printing something.
Colin read about a new character named Mary Mage, who Colin immediately identified as being based off of Girl Jordan and how she joined Ace Savvy and Wild Dice as they ran through the forest while being chased by Godzilla.
Footsteps were heard as Colin got to the part where Godzilla spat at Ace, much to his disgust, so Colin immediately placed the comic back in the bag and played the video on Lincoln's phone. Successfully, pretending like he was watching the video the whole time.
Lincoln placed another bag down before grabbing another one. Colin resisted the temptation to look at the next issue but when Lincoln came back to take the fourth and final bag, he couldn't resist anymore.
He took out the comic and started at a later page, to get through some parts faster. He'll read the full issue when Lincoln releases it.
Inside the Ace Base
Lincoln touched the blue diamond encased in a blue light. When the light faded, Lincoln found himself on the pad.
"Whoa, how'd you do that?" Colin asked, while holding a wrist grappling hook device.
Lincoln looked from where he was and found the blue diamond on the floor.
"I get it. This can teleport us to the cave." Lincoln said as he walked off the pad and picked up the blue diamond.
"Sweet!" Colin cheered before frowning. "But we still have to head home to place the device at home to teleport us from there to here."
"Yes, but don't worry." Lincoln said, approaching the giant holographic computer. "This computer should tell us a safer route." Lincoln placed his hands on the hologram, the struggled to navigate but he was able to go to the map section outside Citro City.
"There."
Later, the two brothers walked through the forest, both looking for any signs of Godzilla.
They stopped as they heard the rumbling of convoy trucks. Lincoln turned to his brother and motioned him to lower. Both crouched into the bushes as a convoy of trucks pushed past them, the ground shaked as each vehicle passed. They noticed the Citro Force symbol on each truck. The two brothers heard the sound of something growling. They saw a large on the bsack of a truck and that is was some kind of monster. The monster was blue-furred with pointy ears and was quadrupedal.
The convoy made a complete stop, much to Lincoln and Col's horror.
A kid suddenly landed right between the brothers and the caged monster. Lincoln had to grab Colin to keep him from falling over in surprise.
The mystery kid was wearing light armor colored in black and blue, there was a katana sheathed on his back. His hair was blond and was spiked forward. His face was shadowed but he appeared to have a mask that covered his lower face.
The blue monster growled at the mystery kid as it stared right back, before looking around.
The mystery kid then raised a hand and all the Citro Troopers came out of the vehicles. They began searching the area, the mystery kid walked away to search in a different area.
"Seif," Lincoln whispered. "Do you remember that abandoned house we saw earlier?"
"Yeah." Colin whispered.
"I need you to run there and hide." Lincoln said, leaving their hiding spot and approaching the cage.
"What are you-" Colin tried to ask.
"Now!" Lincoln growled, as he formed an energy card.
The blue monster growled at him, although with less ill-intent than showed to the mystery kid.
BOOM!
Lincoln jumped to the top of the cage and pulled the cage door up. The blue monster leaped out and let out a mighty roar.
"The Kaiju is free!"
Colin skimmed some parts, knowing it was a matter of time before Lincoln finished.
The redhead remained hidden in the cellar as he heard the fight grow fainter.
He stood up to reach the cellar door.
CRASH!
Colin jumped when the massive head of a smilodon broke through the cellar and roared at him.
RRRROOOOAAAARRRR!
Colin dawned a terrified expression as he backed away from the snarling beast on his back. Saber jammed its massive claws, tearing more pieces of the cellar ceiling as it snapped its fangs ferociously.
The redhead extended his arms and fired a red ray that hit the beast in the face. Saber roared in pain and removed its upper body from the exit.
Quickly climbing out, Colin turned to see the huge smilodon was pawing at its face before slamming it down to the floor and snarling at him. The 6-year-old bolted up the stairs, he made it to the top and ran down the hallway as fast as he could. He stumbled as he narrowly avoided the massive smilodon as it reached the top and slammed its side into the wall as it skidded.
The door down the hallway was getting closer to Colin with Saber catching up to him, the mutated smilodon opened its massive jaws to inflict a fatal bite upon the child. The redhead leaped out of the bite's path and through the door, entering the master bedroom.
Colin quickly shook his head and slammed the door shut, locking it. He sighed in relief as Saber was kept out. His relief didn't last long as the door started banging as Saber tried to ram through it.
His eyes widen when claws popped out of the door. Colin ran for the window. Saber bursted through the door with a roar and lunged for the child.
Colin managed to jump out of the window that had no glass and landed on his hands and legs. He got up and turned around to look up at the window to see Saber's head roaring out savagely as it tried to break through.
Needing no more hesitation, Colin ran through the forest. He turned his head and he ran, relieved he didn't see the smilodon.
He eventually came across Lincoln punching a Citro Trooper and snatching the blaster out of his hands before aiming it at the trooper and firing at him. The Citro Trooper fell over as a corpse.
Lincoln turned to see Colin.
"Seif!" The older brother called out.
They both heard the sound of the smilodon and turned to see Saber bounding toward them with a fierce expression. Suddenly, Saber dragged its claws on the ground, skitting until it came to a complete stop. It turned its head to the left, Colin and Lincoln followed its gaze to see the blond boy from earlier. He was shadowed by the trees but the two brothers clearly saw him raise a hand and beckon for Saber to come to him. Saber turned its head back to Colin, snapping its teeth at him with a growl before trotting toward the mysterious kid.
The mysterious climbed on Saber's back. He gave one last look at where the brothers were before taking off.
The relief Lincoln and Colin felt evaporated as they heard the ground shaking.
Colin knew the two would encounter Godzilla again, but he rushed the comic back in the bag as Lincoln came out with one full bag.
"Alright, all done." Lincoln said, grabbing another bag in the other hand.
"You got it?" Lincoln asked the younger kid.
"Yep." Colin said as he grabbed the other two bags, struggling at first.
As they left the printing store and headed to Lincoln's house, Colin thought about the comics. He was disappointed he didn't get to see the chase with Godzilla. He didn't think that giant cat was Kitty, as its fur color wasn't black.
He wondered who that mystery kid was. He doubted it was that crazy jerk, Boy Jordan. The mystery kid must be Ace Savvy's arch rival. Though he doubted that guy was Card Shark as he carried a sword instead of a staff. He's not sure Card Shark is even going to even appear in Ace Savvy - Godzilla. Colin remembered seeing a concept art of the blue monster of it back when Lincoln threw that party. He hoped Lincoln was going to have the blue monster be on Ace Savvy's side. He hated it when the cool creatures tried to eat the good guys.
Actually, come to think of it. Isn't Lincoln a fan of Godzilla? Didn't Lincoln say that Godzilla wasn't just a mindless beast? Didn't Lincoln tell him that the current Godzilla wasn't as hostile as the old one? Why would Lincoln have Godzilla try to kill Ace Savvy?
Leni had been put back into the set room with some of her sisters who wouldn't appear in the pixie forest scene. One security guard stood in front of Leni, monitoring her to make sure she didn't leave or ruin anything.
The blond was at first dumbfounded when her talking friends and the cute butterflies vanished. She had asked the security guards if they knew where all the smiling faces went. Their response was to stare at her than ignore her, opting to keep watch over her silently instead.
Lola, Lana, and Darly held bags of ice on their heads. Lana was patting Hops, who was on her lap. Lola was grumbling about how her scene was ruined and Darly was glaring angrily at Leni.
Her thoughts then went on to her brother. She, like her sisters, showed little interest in Ace Savvy until her brother mentioned that the winner gets to be in the movie. When the plan to keep Lincoln out of the movie formed so he wouldn't take all the attention came up, Leni was hesitant. She didn't want to hurt Linky's feelings. She eventually came around when she was told that Lincoln would love the movie and be proud of them.
The ditzy blonde was sure her sisters felt bad for keeping their brother out of the movie, but they rarely mentioned him. Probably, to not feel more shame plus there were rules that were formed.
There were a few rules her sisters had created.
Don't brag about being in the movie in front of Lincoln. Lola had bragged about her role to other kids at school and is currently still doing it online.
Avoid contact with Lincoln. This included Lincoln's friends as well. If he was brought up in a conversation with friends, then they should just change the subject or end the conversation. One of Leni's friends mentioned Lincoln in a call, Lori had been nearby and ended the call for her. Leni felt that Lori was rude for that.
Ignore Mom and Dad's - as well as Pop Pop's - calls, texts, and voicemails. One time Leni had disobeyed their rules and listened to Mom's voicemail, she had been enraged and demanded that they come home. Leni told her sisters' that their parents wanted them back home, but they got upset that she disobeyed a rule
Do not anger Lincoln any further. Lola broke that when she said all those mean things about Lincoln.
She hoped Lincoln wouldn't be too upset. Sometimes, Lincoln can get really scary when he's angry.
During that time on the beach, Lincoln had buried them all, except Lily, in the sand with only their heads sticking out. He again told them in a frustrated tone that he lied about being bad luck so he could have time for himself and that he was not bad luck. They refused to believe him. Lynn was extra vocal about him putting on the squirrel suit. Lincoln reacted by kicking sand in her face. Seeing how none of them would believe him, Lincoln growled. He took out a match box, lit a match and set fire to the squirrel suit, much to the family's horror. Then the sky turned white and got closer to them and felt more like a towel. Then the white sky had been pulled off by the lifeguard, who was angry because Lana had left a whole lot of disgusting things on the beach. They had been forced to clean it all up and when they finished, they were kicked out and banned from the beach. They then got kicked out of the hotel they were staying in because Lisa's chemicals caused an explosion. When they got home, most of their things were gone. The pictures, their mattresses, their sheets, the clocks, the couches, the TV, the trophy case, Lori's electronics, Leni's dresses, Luna's instruments, Luan's props, Lynn's sporting equipment, Lucy's gothic stuff (including that Edmund statue), Lana's mechanical equipment, Lola's stuffed animals, and Lisa's science equipment, Dad's ties, and Mom's novel. Basically, everything they didn't take with them on the trip. Only Lily's things remained in the house. She remembered how Lola screamed loudly that Lana was eating a bar of chocolate and they all rushed and fought each other to get it.
Leni thought she should get her brother a gift so he wouldn't be too upset. Since Ace Savvy wouldn't be sold anymore, she thought about the other heroes Lincoln liked. She also thought about that giant friendly dinosaur that Lincoln adored, the one with the leaves on his back and could create pretty lights, but she was worried she might see a toy of that giant spider.
"Oh, that's it! I'll just buy him the toys of the Full Deck. No one's bought them yet, so Linky can get all the toys first." Leni said happily. Maisie explained to them that the Rise for Power toys wouldn't come out until sometime after the official trailer was released so she'll wait to purchase them. Maisie, Preston, and Piper were happy about the creation of the Full Deck toys, Lincoln would love them.
She heard Piper groaning as she rubbed a hand down her face. The dark-skinned woman stressed to Lori how she should say her lines before ordering the camera guy to roll again.
Leni then noticed a light was a little crooked on the set and walked toward it in order to fix it. The crooked light happened to be on the other side of the set where Rube and Lori were acting. Leni passed behind them, walking through the set.
Just as Leni reached the crooked light, her arm was grabbed, and she was turned around to face an enraged Piper.
What came next was a long rant from the woman as she screamed her frustrations at Leni. Darly watched in satisfaction as she watched the teen get yelled at. Rube glanced at the scene but opted to take out her phone and talk to someone on the other line instead. Dominic stared impassively at the scene.
"I want you off the set, you idiot!" Piper yelled.
"Sorry." Leni tried to say.
"No, don't just be sorry, THINK for one freaking second! What the hell are you doing?! First the pixie forest scene and the part where Savier inspires High Card! Are you professional or not?!
"Um, no." Leni said, confused and frightened. "I'm not a professor at all-"
"Do I walk around and rip that-"
"Piper-" Lori tried to say as she tried to defend her sister.
"No, shut the heck up, Lori! Do I wa-"
"Piper, it's fine let's just do the scene again and-" Lori was cut off.
No! NO! Don't shut me up! Do I walk around and rip your freaking lights down in the middle of the scene?!"
"Um." Leni was at a loss for words.
"Why the hell are you walking right through? Ah da da da da," Piper exclaimed as she waved her arms in the air with a scowl. "like this in the background. What the hell is it with you? What don't you understand?! You got any freaking idea about how it's distracting having somebody walking up behind our strong, independent, and political star Saver in the middle of an important scene!"
There was silence before Piper shouted, "Answer the question! What don't you get about it?!
"I was... looking at the light. But I don't get it." Leni asked.
"What don't you get about it?!" Piper demanded.
Leni gulped. "I ju... I don't get why this movie needs to be political. I just...I...I don't...I don't get it."
Len's words made Piper livid.
"I'm gonna kick your ass if you don't shut up!" Piper growled as she seized Leni by the top of her hair.
"Ahh! Ahh! Ahh! P...Please don't hurt me! Please don't hurt me, Ms. Jander!" Leni said fearfully, with tears in her eyes.
"Do you want me to trash your lights?"
"No!" Leni whimpered.
Lori wanted to intervene, but her path was blocked by security guards who had their high-tech spears 'X' shaped in front of her.
The other sisters raised their arms in the air as security guards pointed their high-tech weapons at them.
"DO YOU WANT ME TO TRASH THEM!" Piper repeated, tugging hard on Leni's hair.
"No, I don't want you to trash them!" Leni said, repeating her answer.
"You do it one more time and I will lose it with you! Alright? I'm trying to direct a movie that will deliver a strong message and we need all of you to be stunning and professional! Do you understand? Alright, let's go again."
"How about we take a break?" Lori suggested.
Piper exploded. "NO LET'S NOT TAKE A BREAK! LET'S GO AGAIN! GUUUAAAARDS!"
Security guards came, grabbing the three oldest sisters' arms. Leni while in tears was dragged to the side Lori was dragged back to the set.
The security guards released their holds and walked without saying a word.
"ACTION!" Piper shouted.
Preston smiled as he presented the trailer on his laptop to Maisie.
When the video finished, Maisie smiled in approval, the movie was everything they hoped for. There might have been issues with Lola going on to the set of another set, Lori getting in a fight with Luan, and Leni messing with the controls for the pixie forest set. But everything was running smoothly. They haven't even used all the budget Kell provided, which itself was expensive but not as expensive as the movies Kell provided budgets for.
Maisie managed to convince the CEO of Stether to give them a bigger budget, but it was still not as high as the other movies in development.
Once the third act was written, Preston and Piper could direct the scene and the movie would be completed.
Maisie gave the approval to release the trailer.
AN: Yes, the rant of Piper yelling at Leni is based off of Christain Bale yelling at a camera guy on the set of Terminator Salvation.
This took longer than I expected. The next chapter will be about the trailer or more accurately, the reaction to the trailer.
I recently found out that Wraith is already a given name but I'm going to continue with it anyway since the Wraith character from Marvel barely makes an appearance.
