Road Trip to the Originally Devil-Half's Home
Lincoln is seen packing his and Ronnie Anne's stuff into the car right outside of the Casagrandes home.
"Okay, we got everything." Lincoln informed.
"Including some of Abuela's road trip snacks." Ronnie Ann added holding a big container of food Rosa made.
"I just wanted to make sure you have enough for the road trip and in case you can't find a restaurant." Rosa pointed out.
"Don't worry, I'm sure you got us pretty to eat along the way." Ronnie Anne assured.
"Just make sure you contact us at least twice a day." Carlos said.
"Make sent us a lot of pictures of your trip, I want to be inspired of my new artwork." Frida excited a little.
"Yo, Lincoln, make sure Ronnie Anne is safe and tell Lori I said hi." Carlino said.
"Sure thing, little buddy." Lincoln chuckled.
"Now, make sure you stay with Lincoln and the Loud at all times and don't fight try to fight the demons on your own." Maria talked safety with her daughter.
"Relax, everything is going to be fine. Besides, we have Handsome Devil." Ronnie Anne smirked as Maria blushed.
"Oh, trust me, I'm never going forget him and that the way he pleasured us last night." Carlota whispered while blushing.
"Trust be sure to keep your lust under control, I'm sure you don't want to keep changing the bedsheets every week." Ronnie Anne warned.
"Oh, and make sure you guys go to the soundproof room on the upper floor." Rosa said cutting on the conversation.
"Mama?!" Maria gasped.
"Relax, only we adults heard your little "fun" last night while the kids were sleeping… with earplugs I gave them." Hector mentioned making the three Casagrandes women blushing of embarrassment.
"Right, well, huh… it was really nice seeing you all." Ronnie Anne changed the subject.
"Goodbye, Ronnie Anne!" The Casagrandes family said at the same time while giving her a group hug.
"Be sure to bring us back some souvenirs." Sergio the parrot squeaked and Lalo the big English Mastiff dog tackle Ronnie Anne giving her some goodbye licks.
"Okay, okay, boy. I'm gonna miss you too." Ronnie Anne laughed from the licking and got Lalo off.
"Hey, don't leave without getting a goodbye from me!" Sid called out as she rans to Ronnie Anne.
"Sid, I thought you weren't going to make it!" Ronnie Anne hugged her best friend.
"Are you kidding? Seeing you going off to a dangerous adventure with your demon boyfriend and fighting against the supernatural, no way I would miss this!" Sid said.
"Oh, and I wanted to give you something." Sid reached into her pocket and put the object in Ronnie Anne's hand. She looks down to see a picture of herself and Sid as kids.
"It's a picture of when my family first moved to this building and we became best friend, I never forgotten how you tried to make sure we stayed, even though you nearly got your grandma fired." Sid mentioned and the two share a laugh.
"Yeah, that was intense that I made a friend I can really relay on and I'm glad we're best friends. Thanks for always being there for me." Ronnie Anne thanked.
"I'm always going to be with you, whether we're close like right now or far away from each other, we'll always be together in spirit. And that's the truth!" Sid stated.
Ronnie Anne and Lincoln got in the car while waving goodbye to the family and drove off to the road, the Casagrandes and Sid watch them go further in the distance until they can't see the car anymore.
"I hope they'll be okay." Carlos Jr. worried.
"Don't worry, son, I'm sure they'll be alright together." Carlos said.
"Si, they'll faces strange and dangerous things ahead, but I know they'll pull through." Rosa said proudly.
"You got that right, I thought things were crazy when I noticed a dead demon spider in the dumpster and I'm glad we have a guardian Devil or a family of Devil guardians protecting others like us." Sid pointed out.
"Devil Guardians, that has a good ring to it." Carlota commented.
"That's right, now let's go back inside and continue our day." Hector suggested as everyone agrees.
Maria stay out for a little longer thinking about Lincoln and Ronnie Anne knowing they'll return to her and everyone they care about once their adventure is over. Plus, she's thinking about going to give herself a checkup in case she's pregnant with Lincoln's child, which she really doesn't mind considering she may see herself as his wife already along with Ronnie Anne and Carlota.
(With Lincoln and Ronnie Anne)
"Man, who would've thought that me and my family would go on a dangerous adventure that involves the supernatural that are real. If anyone were to tell me that, I would call them crazy." Lincoln stated as he drives over the bridge.
"I feel the same, and yet here we are doing exactly that." Ronnie Ann nodded and heard Lincoln's cellphone ringing; she picks it up for Lincoln to concentrate on the driving.
"Cool, it's Pop-pop calling for screen calling." Ronnie Anne informed.
"Put him on." Lincoln said. Ronnie Anne set the cellphone above the radio screen and turn to call on with Albert on the screen.'
"Hey guys, just calling to see how's the Casagrandes visit." Albert greeted.
"Great, I got my mom's approval to come with you guys and we're "closer" than ever." Ronnie Anne smirked placing her arm around Lincoln's neck as he blushes a bit.
"And we just out on the road, heading to the place where we'll meet you guys." Lincoln mentioned.
"Exactly, make sure you follow the coordinates I sent you last night and make sure there are no delays to your travel, unless you have to make a bathroom stop and probably gas." Albert advised.
"Got it, and don't worry about the food part, my Abuela pack us lots of food for the road trip." Ronnie Anne informed.
"Good, that's good, it's better than those creep food from the gas station." Albert commented.
"Hey Pop-pop, just a quick question: did Dante and Vergil really give in a peaceful countryside with their mom and dad?" Lincoln asked curious.
"Yep, Sparda and Eva wanted to live a peaceful life despite the odds of a human and a demon living together. However, Sparda died when his sons were still very young boys and Eva did the best she could to raise them by herself until the demons came and killed her as the boys survived though were separated." Albert explained about what he knows about Dante and Vergil's childhood.
"Whoa, and I thought living with ten sisters for sixteen years was rough." Lincoln said sad for Dante and Vergil.
"Life is always unfair to everyone, Lincoln, but just got to make the most of it and keep moving forward with our heads up high and no fear in our eyes." Albert advised.
"Truer words couldn't have been said better." Lincoln nodded.
"Hey, is that Lincoln? What's up, little bro!" Luna shouted from the background.
"Hey Luna, I take it you and the girl haven't burned down the house while I was gone." Lincoln joked.
"Have a little fate, Lincoln. We would never 'torch' our own home." Luan joked.
"Well, I'm gonna hang up now. We'll talk more when we get to the house." Lincoln said.
"Be carefully, Lincoln, my cards are telling me that something is gonna come after you on the road." Lucy warned.
"We'll be on the lookout, just make sure you guys are still alive until then." Ronnie Anne said.
"Okay, see you guys soon." Albert waved goodbye before hanging up.
(Later)
It has been about four hours and twenty-five minutes since Lincoln and Ronnie Ann left the city this morning, being on the road for this long reminded them of times they went on family road trips and even remembering the time when the two families decided to celebrate Thanksgiving together like seeing Bobby and Lori wanting them to get along. They had a little help from a cheap old man who owns a little gas station suggesting an idea or two, guess even some people like him can be good on the holidays.
Sometimes Lincoln and Ronnie Anne would switch sits in case the driver gets a little tired and they make a quick stop on the side of the road to eat some food, the road trip was long, but they knew they are getting closer to the location. Ronnie Anne then notices something as she looks at one of the rearview mirrors and saw something from a far distance like something is trying to come to them.
"Hey Lincoln, I think there's something behind us." Ronnie Anne alerted.
"Hmm, I am sensing a faint demonic present from a far distance and" Lincoln's sentence got cut off when something pierces through the roof to the back sits.
"Hold on, let me see what we're dealing with." Ronnie Anne pulled out a binocular and look to see a strange-looking monster bird running fast on its legs and shooting feathers in the air which they would fall toward Lincoln's car.
(Music: Danger Zone, Kenny Loggines)
"Incoming!" Ronnie Anne alerted, and Lincoln managed to dodge the other feathers except for one that got on the trunk.
"Hey, you crazy Road Runner Demon! My boyfriend just had this car painted last week!" Ronnie Anne yelled.
"Okay, this must be the warning from Lucy's fortune-telling. Ronnie Anne, take the wheel, I got a bird to turn roadkill." Lincoln said as he climbs himself to the roof of the car while Ronnie Anne quickly went to driver sit to drive the car.
"Okay, you creepy cartoon bird rip off, let how fast you really are!" Lincoln taunted as he points his guns at the demon running bird.
Lincoln starts shooting the bullets at the demon running bird as it dodges most of the bullets though it only got two scratches on its shoulder near the left wing and lower right of the body, the demon bird shot its feathers again to get the half-demon boy only for him to shot down every sharp feathers except for one that he caught in his hand.
"Let see how you like your feather?" Lincoln asked sarcastically.
Lincoln shot a few more bullets before throwing the sharp feather while still shooting as a distraction for the demon bird, as the demonic feather creature dodges the bullets as planned and the sharp feather that Lincoln threw pierce through left wing. The demon bird screeches in pain as it no longer has any use its left wing, but it doesn't appear to be slowing as the pain only seem to make him angrier and started running faster to catch up to the car.
"Okay, the demon running bird is coming closer which should be easier for me to shot it down." Lincoln stated.
"Try to make sure it doesn't damage the car, otherwise it'll be a long walk if we crash." Ronnie Anne warned.
The demon bird starts throwing its sharp feathers straight at Lincoln instead of upward like before as the white-haired demon boy shots and kick most of the feathers away from touching the car, one of bullets managed to scratch one of the legs making its off balance for a bit which is enough for Lincoln to jump off the car and right on the demon bird's back. The demon bird screech in anger as it turns its head and try to pierce through Lincoln's head with its beak, but he dodges the attacks and grab the beak with one hand.
"Sorry, birdy, but it looks like me and Ronnie Anne will add fried demon chicken." Lincoln smirked before he aims the white gun to the body and start shooting.
Lincoln jump high with the beak still in his hand to lift the demon bird and slam the head right on the ground, he looks down at the soon-to-be dead demon bird as he aims his black gun at the head.
"Jackpot!" Lincoln said and fired the bullet destroying the head. And just in time as Ronnie Anne drove the car back to him.
(Music End)
"Nice work, I hope the vultures enjoy having a demonic meal." Ronnie Anne said as Lincoln gets in.
"That bird brain never stood a chance." Lincoln bragged as he starts to feel relax now.
"You relax for now; I'll drive the rest of the way." Ronnie Anne said as she drove the car on the road.
(Later)
It was a long drive and dealing with a fast running demon bird, the couple finally arrived at the old house of Dante and Vergil where they see Vanzilla with the rest of the Loud family there.
"Hey guys, hope we haven't kept you waiting long." Ronnie Anne greeted as she and Lincoln step out of the car.
"Nah, we actually just got here a minute ago though we would've been here sooner if Lynn haven't eaten those major spicy burritos that made us stop three times." Lori explained glaring at Lynn.
"Hey, it was a three for the price of one deal! And I thought my demon power would be me endure to spicy food." Lynn stated.
"Okay everyone, we're here to find one half of the amulet, so keep your eyes peel for this." Albert showed everyone the picture of the amulet.
"Oh, it looks pretty." Lola impressed.
"Memorize this image well, now let's get searching." Albert ordered and everyone went inside the house.
"I'm surprised someone rebuilt this whole place, it's almost like a small mansion." Rita commented.
"A friend of Dante decided to have this place rebuilt in honor of him, and we got search every little place we can find." Albert explained.
Some search at some places like the living room, the dinning room and the kitchen, looking through the basement which had some bats that flew off when Leni open the door and got scared, they get check some of the rooms and closets though none found anything.
Lincoln is searching in one room trying to think where would Dante hide the amulet, it had to be in one place that is plain like everything else that no one would even think to look.
"Come on, Dante, help me out here." Lincoln talked to himself.
Then he suddenly felt something strange going on in his head, he started sensing something strange yet oddly familiar presence telling him that whatever he's feeling is closer than he thinks. He focus on the sensing and move to where it's coming from hoping that this weird feeling he's getting will lead him to the amulet, and then he move toward a wall which is weird but then his gut is telling him that there's more to this "wall" than meets the eye. Lincoln touch the wall feeling something odd about it, like it's paper and decided to rip it off revealing that there's a hidden closet behind a fake wall.
Lincoln opens the closet and gasps of excitement upon finding the amulet.
"Guys, I found it!" Lincoln shouted as he ran down to the living room showing everyone the amulet.
"Nice work, Lincoln!" Albert impressed.
"It was weird, it was like the amulet lead me to it." Lincoln explained.
"Perhaps it's because since you're Sparda and Dante's descendent, the amulet must've sense that." Lisa theorized.
"Let's hope the second half will be easy to find like this." Luna said.
"Okay everyone, we'll spend the night here and we're off to Fortuna!" Albert suggested as everyone nodded and Lincoln look at the amulet proudly.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
Lincoln and Ronnie sure had a tough road trip like dealing with a road-runner copycat demon that was trying to make roadkill out of them, but the demon bird ended up being the roadkill instead. Lincoln even managed to find the first half of the amulet which brings him and everyone one step closer to the Devil May Cry shop.
