Helluva Loud Adventures.
"Royal Woods, as the normal gets."

(April 29. Ketcham Park.)

The day is sunny, and everything is peaceful and calm once more. The kids are all enjoying their time at the Park, and we see a lot of kids gathered to one part of the Park, where a birthday is in motion and it is once again managed by Luan Mayberry, and she got someone to help.

No, it's not Benny because he's out of town for a few days, and it's not Giggles because she is busy with something with her family, and also it is not Maggie since she has something else to do, but her assistant for the day is the Radio Demon, Alastor.

Alastor then juggles some red balls, and then Luan throws a pie which he ducks and it goes through a portal, and the portal opens in front of Luan and she is hit by it, and this makes the kids laugh. Alastor then opens another portal and he tosses the balls through.

The portal opens again, and Luan catches the balls and she juggles them, and the kids cheer seeing this trick, and she tosses them through another portal which they return to Alastor and he juggles them again, and so they continue this portal juggling switch act, and everyone loves it.

Lady G. Valentine smirks seeing this, she likes seeing her beloved all cheerful, a whole different kind of Cheerful. Then she sees someone she knows walking by. "Hey, Lincoln..." The white haired boy turns around and sees the sinner.

"Hey, I was wondering that if you and the others have another kill job, perhaps have myself and my beloved come along?"

Lincoln smiles hearing this. "Now that sounds like a nice idea. It seems good, for Alastor to let off some steam and kill someone with us."

Lady G. nods and she giggles. "Yeah, seeing him like this makes things different and yet in a good way, and yet I think we need some bloodshed to make us feel alright. Thanks again, sugar."

Lincoln smirks and nods. "Anytime, we will inform you both if we have a client who needs someone dead." Lincoln then goes back to his usual stroll, and Lady G. returns to seeing her beloved making himself happy, being an entertainment to kids.

Lincoln continues to walk down the pathway and he looks around and he smiles seeing how everyone is all peaceful, calm and chill. Relaxed and having fun, after what had gone down it seems right for everyone else in Royal Woods to just tone it down and feel fine again, sorta into the normal.

'Joyce Crandall is gone, and along with all of her horrible plans to make this town into a lake, and yet it seemed right for us to kill her, to ensure she doesn't try anything again, but then again doing the kill for the client was better. A little bit of hellish justice.'

'Now we can all go back to the usual normal round here, well not usually normal but we are just going about our day with no problems to deal with. Yet, there is some issues we haven't gotten over or removed, a deadly imp assassin who has gone into hiding, the snake serpent sinner who remains on the loose and might return, and then we got those demon hunting morons, well what's left of them.'

'But, then comes the other problems who resurfaced and tried to do something. Paimon might be up to, well whatever it is he might come up with and then we have Cash Buckzo, and he might try and get close to Blitz, and the rest of us. We can't let those two try and get the best of us, because they don't know who they are fucking messing with.'

Lincoln then gets a message, and he sees that it is a selfie of his mother, Loona with Luna. The duo are having a mother and daughter time, and this makes Lincoln smile. He sighs, and he continues his stroll around the Park.

(Somewhere else in Royal Woods.)

Blitz is here, he is not at his restaurant he is having it closed for the day. Blitz is going through the built up Molly's, and they check each worker to see how well the whole place is being built, and with Blitz of course, is the Fireman and Lieutenant of Engine 51, Christopher Hermann, the owner of Molly's from Chicago.

"So, some lady shows up in Royal Woods and tries to turn the whole place into a lake named after her mom?"

Blitz nods. "Yeah, the dumb bitches name is Joyce Crandall, and she named the lake after her mom because she didn't have time to get her a stupid ass birthday present."

Hermann is surprised to hear this. "That is the most insane thing ever, and that lady... Well, screw her and whatever else she had in store. Glad you guys got rid of her, and made sure this town was still standing. Because ruining the community with families, is wrong, illegal and heartless."

Blitz nods. "Well, we did our part and she is not gonna come back and all of her plans also gone, into the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. Also, I didn't want the new Molly's here to go down into thirty feet of water. We worked hard to make this place happen, and she is almost done."

Hermann smiles when he sees a portrait of himself being put on the wall "Gotta say, this sure is looking good. You made this possible and happen fast, Blitz. So, when do we open this bar?"

Blitz thinks about this. "Well, I need to deal with whoever is gonna run the place, and I already have that one covered and then I gotta check on inventory and then we need to have Mouch and Platt come here and see the place and how it's all going and we need to make sure this is a family friendly bar just like the Molly's back in Chicago. So, we might open next month."

Hermann smirks hearing this. "Blitz, you know business just as good as I do. This is gonna work, and everything will be running smooth and friendly drinking at Molly's."

Blitz smirks and high fives with Hermann. "Ya darn right on that one." They then get out of the still being constructed bar, and check on the outside to see how it is all doing.

Then Hermann asks. "Hey, Severide asked me about this Lady Ace chick? What's the deal about her?"

(The outskirts of town.)

The runaway train has been halted again, and yes a runaway train was in motion and there was no engineer because he went off the train while it was moving, so it seemed like an almost "Unstoppable" incident, but with someone true and blue who stopped it and saved the day, and her name is Lady Ace.

Lady Ace watches as they clean up the mess, even though there isn't an actual mess, and it is just the train being checked on, she then flies off. 'Glad that everything is just Ace-Okay once again, and perhaps I can go and ask how Kathie is doing, and we can plan our next date this week.'

Lady Ace then flies high into the sky, and she feels calm and relaxed up here, and then something else comes through her train of thoughts. 'Everything has been so calm lately after the whole Joyce Crandall problem from the other day, and peaceful and with only small robberies and other small thievery in the town, nothing else truly dangerous.'

'Does feel kinda boring, but then again it seems it should stay that way, to make sure the good folks of Royal Woods are gonna be fine. I mean, I am glad that Rodney Spokes and Jessie Hiller died in the prison fires, and now they won't be my issue ever again.'

'Now, all I should do now is head on home and...' Lady Ace then sees a large portal open, and she sees something large and mechanical coming through and this surprises her. "Oh heck no, he's back?"

The large mechanical round robot with two large wheels and large arms with a snake head, is Sir Pentious. "I am back, and Royal Woods is mine!" He laughs evilly, and has his robot moving.

Jets fly by Lady Ace, to go and take down Sir Pentious. This makes Lady Ace smirk, and she cracks her knuckles. "Looks like the fun hasn't topped, time to put some hurt into this guy!" Lady Ace then flies over, to take down her returning mortal enemy.

Yup, everything seems to be slowly returning back to normal.

"To be continued in the next chapter folks!"
A/N:
Peaceful, calm and not much going on, even though Sir Pentious is back and all, they can deal with him when the time comes and perhaps send him locked up for good. I hope that you all enjoyed reading this newly posted chapter folks!
