In this chapter, we're gonna see them hang out with the one family that Lincoln and Luna still see and that someone is the elder of the once large family. Enjoy folks and they have a lot to talk about, especially about some words towards a few members to the once large and Loud family.
Helluva Loud Adventures.
(Sunset Canyon Retirement home.)
An elderly man who is a former soldier and now veteran from a war that many have known and I wish not to speak of, his name is Albert Willard and he is the father of Rita who is still in jail.
The old man is still upset after what had happened to the family through the court against them about the bad luck thing. But he's trying his best to get over what has happened and is looking forward to the future ahead of him and the remaining family he has left.
Then Albert sees the red portal is made and coming out of it are Lincoln, Luna and Loona. Also Moxxie and Millie are with them. But where is Blitzo?
(Stolas' place.)
Blitzo and Stolas are having tea and also with them is Stolas' wife and she looks between her beloved and the asshole her husband has an affair with.
The whole place is silent and a bit peaceful, they don't know Octavia sees this and she's recording on what might happen. Then Blitzo speaks. "Well….. This is awkward."
(Back to Sunset Canyon Retirement Home.)
Albert chuckles. "Glad to see you guys."
Lincoln and Luna go over and they hug Albert. "Pop-pop!" The elderly man also hugs them.
"We had time to come here after dealing with two other hostiles and they were not easy to kill" replied Loona. "But we managed to pull through."
They then depart from the hug. "Well, at least you guys came and now we can hang out today in the town, and I'm dang right okay with the rest of you tagging along, though I do wonder where Blitzo is."
Moxxie sighs. "Trust me Albert, you do not wanna know. So, anything good come to you lately here?"
Albert smiles. "Well, with Sue gone for good, the whole place is now more tolerable to deal with and we elderly can have fun and at the same time be cautious about what we do so that we don't kick the bucket too early. Can't say much about the other three a few days ago, they kicked the bucket and right on time for them to say their goodbyes to their families. At least they had one heck of a run."
"That's good to know, and how is the new nurse in charge of the place doing?" asked Millie.
"She's a nice gal and she seems to know how everyone feels and does her best to make sure the old coots like me and the others feel welcomed and safe, she does enforce the rules, but not at a harsh point. I forgot what her name was, but I think she kinda looked like that Rosato Girl" replied Albert.
Lincoln chuckles. "There's lots of folks in town that somehow have the same looks as others."
"Anyways, we should get going and see where the day leads us. Like when you and Linc hung out and had a rockin' time, but I dare not mention the incident at the baseball stadium" replied Luna.
Albert chuckles. "And I'd do it again too! Now come on, let's take my old car. She can still run smoothly." They all head to Albert's Volkswagen beetle.
Though Loona is confused. "What the heck are you guys talking about? What baseball stadium?"
(Royal Woods Eat and Meet Diner.)
All of them are seated on one large table and Albert looks around. "Well, this new place sure is promising and I like the old fashioned diner style it has. Really does bring back some good memories."
Moxxie then goes through the menu. "Everything here seems to be old fashioned style food, something from the eighties or something."
"They all look so good, and I think I know what I wanna try" replied Millie.
"Same here!" said Lincoln and Luna. They then call in the waitress who is wearing roller skates for some reason and they place down their orders and wait for the food to arrive.
Then Albert asks. "So, there aren't much people here right now. I wanna know, what the heck were you guys doing earlier before you came here?"
Lincoln and the others think about this. "You sure you wanna know Pop-pop? I mean, I know it is a family business, but I don't know if it's a good idea to let you know what we've been doing lately."
"Guys, I can handle what you guys do" said Albert. "Must I remind you guys who your talkin' to?"
Luna smirks. "Yeah, I do recall that you are a veteran from a war that kinda makes things less than comfortable."
Albert sighs. "Yeah, the Vietnam war was not the best kinda thing for me and other good men who have seen what it can do. Glad I was assigned to navy instead and glad that was is gone, can't say much about the innocent folks who were killed through the whole outcome."
"Yeah, we kinda have seen some troops like those in Hell" replied Loona. "Some of them are even clients who want someone dead, and we did some background checks and we were not doing it."
"Because those targets are family people and they just want those folks dead because they were from Vietnam" replied Millie. "They just wanna make a living here in the country and try to have a better future."
Albert is shocked and also disappointed in the once good troops from before. "So, what did you guys do?"
"We spared the family, used some angelic arsenal that Vaggie let us rent and we killed the sinner who assigned us to the job, at least he's gone for good and we're being cautious about other former Vietnam war troops who also have a bad way in making us do the job" replied Lincoln.
Luna then looks to her swiss army knife. "Never thought I actually would kill a sinner before, and it was kinda nice too. That guy was a jerk, and plus we got his weapons."
"Well, I am glad you guys did that and I can only assume that was a job recently?" asked Albert.
"It was and I guess we can tell you about the other thing we did before we came here" said Loona.
They then tell Albert about the woman who is responsible for the death of three innocent 9 year olds, and the client is an old lady sinner who looks like a crab. She told them she was the witness to the death of those kids and she never got the chance to report what she saw because she was having a heart attack. Why is she in hell? She did sin long ago and she is a former criminal
At least they did her a favor and made sure those dead kids got some justice and they sent what was left of that target to be found by the cops in San Antonio.
(After lunch.)
They all walk out of the diner. "Well, that was one heck of a courageous thing you guys did and I gotta say that was a good meal we had as well, and I didn't even feel uncomfortable with you guys telling me what you did" said Albert.
Lincoln and Luna smile. "Thanks Pop-pop."
Moxxie checks his watch. "Well, the day is still going. What else are we doing today?"
(Montage.)
They all go to a gun store and they check out what the place has. The owner is an old pal of Albert and he shows them the different firearms they have and some new ones too and Moxxie and Millie buy some new weapons that could help them on their next job.
They head to the paintball war zone and Loona watches as all of them take down some marines who are all running around in panic from a kid, a teen, an old man and two demons. Though, Albert is the one doing the most attacks, he has tactics on ambush and Lincoln backs him up.
They head to a nearby pawnshop and see what they can buy and it seems like they were more interested in the melee weapons they had on sale. From axes, swords, shurikens and maces. This seemed normal for Albert, and he sees Lincoln got himself a pocket knife, just in case.
They also do some grocery shopping and this time no one causes any trouble and they even help Elena D. Pingrey who was also there doing her own shopping, while keeping an eye on her daughter Lily.
They all go to the zoo and check out the place, though they leave immediately when Loona walks by a pack of wolves and they all begin to howl in their enclosure. Loona does not like this at all.
(End Montage.)
They're all at Ketcham Park and taking in the sights of everyone enjoying themselves. "Well, this day has been eventful and also unexpected" said Albert.
Loona sighs. "I swear a dog is gonna get killed by me if they even think about trying to flirt or fuck with me. I will not be treated like some slut they can come and go!" She then calms down had Lincoln holds her hand. "Thanks kiddo, I needed that."
"Maybe next time we should avoid places with canine's, because I did see some street dos all looking to Loona when we passed by the butchers shop" replied Millie.
"Be on the bright side dudes, we at least got to enjoy some fun out of this day" replied Luna as she strums onto her guitar. "And we got one heck of a purchase too, and all of them are back home."
After they all bought the guns and melee weapons, they sent them through the portal at I.M.P. Luckily, Blitzo was there and was almost hit by the bag of swords. Too close guys!
Albert then asks. "How's Leni doing?"
They're shocked he asked this, and Moxxie and Millie are confused. "How the heck did you know that?" asked Moxxie.
"Word gets out around the place, plus a friend of mine works there and told me that you three came and spoke with Leni" replied Albert. "So, how is she?"
Lincoln, Luna and Loona then tell the old man what Leni is going through and what has happened to her and the situation she's had that involved the ignorant minds of Lynn Sr, Rita and Lisa. This makes Albert a bit angered from this.
Then Lincoln asks. "Pop-pop, do you wanna see her one day?"
Albert sighs. "I don't know any more kiddo. I mean, she is a sweet hearted girl who is trying her best and I know she can make it, but another part of me doesn't want to. I don't wanna see her feel upset that I showed up and that she might break down seeing me. She's already had to see two former family members, I don't want her to see one more, especially if it's her grandfather."
Loona then looks to the old man. "Albert, the best way to know what could happen is to be there and see for yourself. Like we said, Leni had a bad issue when we came and she broke down, perhaps she won't when she sees you. She's still a kind hearted girl and she just needs to find some closure and to forgive herself, but that could be a long while to get to."
Albert thinks about this. "Yeah, I guess you're right. I think I will go and see Leni, but only when you guys are going as well."
They nodded and understood, but then Lincoln needed to ask him something. Something that has been pestering him ever the whole court thing. "Pop-pop, do you still see Rita as family?"
That one made the all feel worried at his emotions and it also made them feel cautious and to Loona, she is very much pissed off by that woman's name.
Albert sighs and he places his arm around his grandson. "Lincoln, I don't. Not anymore." They're all shocked he would say that.
"Huh, we thought you'd still see her as your daughter" said Millie.
"No Millie, I don't and the same goes with Ruthie who doesn't see her as family as well" replied Albert. "After what Rita said to you and that she just wanted you and not the sisters was wrong and downright messed up, then she started insulting the demons who saved you from her and the family's actions."
"That was the point where I saw, that I have lost Rita. She was not the daughter I knew anymore. She was not the same sweet Rita I once saw long ago who wanted to be part of Lynnard's life. She has changed and I think it's because after you ran away, she looked through everything in the past and recalled all the times you have been wronged without the shot of an explanation, it made her snap."
"So that's why she started talking like that, to make up for her mistakes from the past and the crucial mistake with the whole luck thing. But she could've just accepted the punishment and earn back trust and forgiveness even without the family she once had, but I guess Rita fell into her own dark hole before the court began and now….. I am disowning her for what she said."
"Because the demons who saved you are family and I see them as my family too, the whole racist shit has to end, all of it and I am not gonna relive those moments during the Vietnam war where my own colleagues were messed up assholes towards the innocent men, woman and children."
They did not expect the elderly man would use such words, but it makes sense why he would say those things.
"Thanks for telling us Pop-pop, we needed that" replied Luna. She and Lincoln then hug their grandfather and he hugs them back.
They then depart from the hug. "So, who are you guys gonna see next?"
That was something they did not think about yet. Who will they go and see next in the old family.
(I.M.P.)
Lincoln and Luna are both on the roof of the building and looking to the distance at the whole city and both of them in their hellhound hoodies. Then someone else comes along and sits between them.
"So, when do we go and see Lucy?" asked Lincoln.
Hearing what Lincoln had just said kinda puts concern into the eyes of Luna and Loona. Then the hellhound replies. "When you guys feel like it, when do you guys wanna see her?"
Lincoln and Luna don't know what else to say and they remain silent. Loona then pulls them close to her and they lean onto their mother and close their eyes.
They felt glad they checked on Leni days ago, but they have mixed feelings about the rest of the family and don't know what else to do when they do go and see them.
"Whatever choice you guys have, I'll support it and so will the others. For now, I won't push you guys into knowing when we can see Lucy and possibly some of the former siblings you guys might still care for." They stay like this and enjoy the moment of stillness and peace.
Then the peace is shattered when an explosion is heard from the distance at a place where Valentino owns far from their city. Yeah, this is hell and this is how things always are and it means well for them.
But while they enjoy this sorta silent and peaceful moment, they fail to see this raven flying around their home and looking to them with violet eyes and then it makes a portal and goes into it and the portal closes.
From afar, Alastor sees the family and the raven and he smiles. "Well, this should be very entertaining, something tells me things are about to get interesting real fast. Soon that is."
Alastor is on the roof of the hotel, and then the door opens and Charlie comes towards him. "Al! We're gonna make some of that Bayou stuff you like to serve to the hotel guests, can you help out?"
Alastor then returns to his original normal demon self. "Why of course my dear, anything to show how much my mother has taught me, just as long as we have all that we need and to make sure that Nifty does not mess with anything in the kitchen."
(Fort Dredge at Buffalo, South Dakota.)
This location is now used as a women's only prison, and within the place are some women who are trying to find some way to change who they were so they can reunite with their families, friends and loved ones.
But one of them is not seeking rehabilitation and she's locked in her cell with little to know light and the blonde woman looks to the wall in anger. Her name is Rita. Yeah, that's just about it. She is no longer a loud and she did get word that she is no longer family to Albert, so she has no last name.
Rita has been sent to her cell early after she attacked one of the inmates. That inmate had long voluminous gray hair and acted like a teen punk, similar to Loona and that made Rita angry to the point she nearly killed the woman.
But Rita doesn't care, there's only one thing on her mind. 'I swear, when I get the fuck out of here, I am gonna come for that motherfucking hellhound who took my son away from me! And I don't give a shit if that rocker bitch and those other demons get in my way! I will get my son back and I will restart my family, with just me and my precious little boy, Lincoln.'
Rita then grabs her pillow and she kisses it, the pillow was made by Rita and it looks like Lincoln and she cradles the small pillow. "Oh Lincoln, why did you go with that demon? Why did you call her mom when I am your mom?"
She then grabs the pillow and begins to strangle it. "You should've dropped the charges and given me q chance, you should've let me take care of you. I can make you happy, only I can be the true mother and family member you have left."
"Fuck those daughters I gave birth to and fuck that weak man I called a husband! What matters, is the little boy I carried and was supposed to keep safe."
She then sheds tears and she hugs the pillow. "Lincoln, forgive me. I should've done something. I'm sorry." She continues to hug and cry into the pillow.
She then stops hugging the pillow and she looks to the wall where she used some chalk to draw the hellhound, Loona. 'I will get out, I will get my son back and I will punish you for taking him from me! But before I go for you, I need to pay a visit to a fucked up man who has no balls!'
Rita looks sternly to the photo of Lynn Sr on a dart board and a dart is thrown and it hits his forehead. 'When I fucking get out, you are dead to me! you wanted this family and now look at what has happened. This was all your fault from the start and same with the bastard daughter I spawned for you!'
Rita then throws another dart and it hits a dart board with the photo of Lynn Jr. and it hits her in between the eyes. Rita has a mission, a mission to hurt those who made this happen to the once large family she was told would be a great thing.
Soon, she will go for Loona and hen Lincoln.
To be continued…..
A/N: A good day spent with Albert, and chances they will go and see how Lucy is doing and it looks like Rita has lost her mind. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
Anyone guess who the raven was?
