Finally, Lincoln arrived at Monument Island to get the girl and leave this crazy and bizarre floating city. The monument had a large tower.
The girl is probably in that tower, Lincoln thought.
He looked and saw that the gate was closed off, but luckily, there was a hook above, and Lincoln used his skyhook to hook onto it and went over the gate. Lincoln entered the tower's lobby, which was empty and quiet, making Lincoln tense. He walked into a series of rooms with a specimen of a girl growing up. From a room with items from the girl like a teddy bear, hairbrush, and even a nail clipping to a film room that showed a film of the girl during activities like panting, trying to lockpit, and learning to dance.
Lincoln thought. This is just getting creepier by the second.
Lincoln walked out of the film room and arrived at the massive Siphon room, making a humming noise that sounded like a young woman. There were warning signs all around the Siphon. Lincoln ignored it and saw an elevator, so he made his way toward the elevator and pressed the up button. In about a minute, the elevator stopped at its destination, and Lincoln got off to be in another room; this time, it was a one-way mirror that showed the living area the girl had been living in. It had a bedroom, a library, a dining room, a bathroom, and a conservatory.
Lincoln found a note on a chair.
Subject: Elizabeth Comstock
Age: 20
Development: None
Lincoln finally saw the girl, Elizabeth, in the flesh through the one-way mirror. He thought.
She's beautiful.
Elizabeth had a black raven ponytail and dark blue eyes. She wore a white collar shirt, a blue tie and skirt, white socks, stockings, and black boots. Elizabeth was in her room with paintings and old childhood drawings. She looked at a painting of Paris, and then she suddenly made a ripple-like doorway to 1980's Paris.
Lincoln thought, That is both amazing and terrifying.
Then suddenly, a fire truck turned around the corner in Paris, and Elizabeth immediately closed the portal and she moved on. Lincoln moved to the next room with a one-way mirror to show Elizabeth at the library, sadly looking out of the window and humming. Lincoln then found a small key with a dove sitting on a key hook; he grabbed it and moved on to find what seemed to be the exit. He opened the door up and got a face full of wind. Lincoln looked around to see that he was on top of the tower and saw another nearby door. Lincoln carefully walked to the door, not wanting to be pushed back by the wind. He reached the door, quickly got in, and closed it shut.
Lincoln walked down a small hallway and found a strange room that had the floor hanging on chains. When he saw another door, he walked toward it. Then suddenly, the floor broke apart, and he fell into the library and landed on the back end of a chair.
Pain, just pain, Lincoln thought. He then looked up and saw Elizabeth standing nearby him. He gave an awkward smile and said, "Hello."
Like any other person would do when someone falls out of nowhere, Elizabeth screamed, then ran toward a bookshelf and threw books at Lincoln.
"Ouch! Look, I'm not here to hurt you," said Lincoln.
"Then why do you have a gun on you?" Elizabeth said as she held a large blue book for her own protection.
"For protection, that's all."
"Who are you?"
"My name is Lincoln Loud, and a couple of people got me to get you out of here."
Elizabeth lowered the book. "Really?"
Lincoln got up from the floor and said, "Yes, I swear that's all I'm here for."
Elizabeth got close to Lincoln and touched his arm. "Are you real?"
"I'm real enough."
Then a golden statue of Ulysses S. Grant in the library flashed red eyes and made a bird whistle tune. Elizabeth looked terrified.
"Lincoln, you gotta get out of here?" said Elizabeth, then a strange mechanical noise came from outside.
"Why? What's going on? " said Lincoln.
Elizabeth shouted, "I'm getting dressed, don't worry." She whispered, "You have to hide or try to get out before he sees you."
Lincoln "I've got a way out of this room."
Elizabeth shouted again when the strange mechanical noise got louder. "Don't be so impatient." She whispered, "There's no way I tried everything."
Lincoln whipped the key he found earlier and showed it to Elizabeth, "But not this."
Elizabeth smiled and grabbed the key. "No, but I think I know what door it opens."
Elizabeth and Lincoln walked through a sealed door with a Fink MFG logo. Elizabeth put the key into the lock and unlocked the door. However, this caused an alarm to set off, and the two started to run out of the room. Then suddenly, the tower rumbled, with the wall and ceiling coming apart.
"Alright, what's going on?" said Lincoln.
"It's my guard, it's his job to protect me," said Elizabeth, dodging a piece of wood.
"Well, he's going to be out of the job."
"And who exactly are you and why are you doing this?"
Before Lincoln could answer, a large bird claw ripped apart a wall, and he quickly took out his pistol and told Elizabeth, "Get to the elevator and call it up."
"The what?" said Elizabeth.
"Just press the down button," said Lincoln, then thought, How sheltered is she?
Elizabeth pressed the button, then she looked and saw a window in the room with a one-way mirror.
"People have been watching me this whole time. Why would they do that? Why would that put me in that room? What am I?"
"The person who is getting out of this mad house, that who you are?' said Lincoln.
Lincoln pressed the down button, but then the door got ripped open to show a massive mechanical bird smashing through. Lincoln shot a couple of times before an elevator hit the bird in his head, making it fall back.
"That's your guard, a giant robot bird!" said Lincoln.
"Yes, let's go," said Elizabeth toward the stairs, and Lincoln followed as the two moved up the stairs. "He's tearing this place apart."
"Why isn't he supposed to protect you, Elizabeth?"
"How did you know my name?"
"I'll tell you later."
The two were outside of the tower balcony and kept running up until the mechanical bird managed to knock around the tower so much that Lincoln and Elizabeth fell off of it. Lincoln grabbed Elizabeth's hand. He saw a railing and quickly took out his skyhook and hooked it onto it. As the two rode along it, they saw the bird tearing the large angle apart, leaving it in pieces. But then it tore apart the railing and the bridge, causing Lincoln and Elizabeth to fall into the water. Luckily, it was water to a beach in Columbia.
