(Hi, guys. Here's the next part of Lincoln Loud teaming up with Power Rangers Beast Morphers.)
That night at the Loud House, Lincoln was in his room pondering over what happened earlier on at the lab, "Whoever those guys in armor were they sure fight well. Wish I knew more about them." suddenly his laptop rang. He opened it up and a group chat invite. He opened it up to reveal Lori, Leni, Luna, and Luan in a split screen.
"Lincoln!" the said together.
"Girls, what's going on?" he asked.
"What's going on is you didn't mention to us is Splice broke out of jail." Leni began.
"How do you know?" Lincoln asked.
"Lisa informed us." Lori replied, making Lincoln roll his eyes.
"She also told us about the break in at the lab." Luna added.
"So who were those robots?" Luan inquired.
"I have no idea. Nor do I have any clue about those armored warriors accompanying them."
"Robots don't seem to be Splice's thing." Luna noted.
"I know," Lincoln replied, "Which I'm beginning to suspect he's not alone in this matter."
"So he's teamed up with someone?" Leni asked.
"Question is who?" Lori wondered.
"That's what I'm trying to figure out."
"You sound like you could use some help." Luan suspected.
"Well, never fear bro, you got us." Luna said.
"What?"
"It's a weekend anyway, and we got nothing better to do." Lori admitted.
"We'll all come back to Royal Woods ASAP." Leni insisted.
"Are you sure?"
"Sure, we're sure." Luan replied.
"Well, if you insist." Lincoln said.
"We'll meet up at Burpin' Burger when we do." Lori said.
"Bring the rest of the sibs too." Luna instructed.
"Sure thing." Lincoln nodded, as they ended their call. Lincoln spoke to the viewers, "Well, it's nice to have back up. Especially if it's my sisters. I just hope I'm ready for whoever else is behind this scheme." and with that he turned in for the night.
The next morning, the Rangers were exploring Royal Woods, with Steel wearing a trench coat and fedora.
"You know, I got to admit Royal Woods really is a neat little town." Zoey admitted.
"Sure is a change up from the city." Ravi added.
"Remind me again why I'm stuck wearing a coat?" Steel asked his fellow rangers.
"Because, Steel. The people here are obviously not accustomed to seeing robots like it's a normal thing." Nate answered.
"Good point."
"So where do we start?" Devon asked.
"The best place to check is the closest sighting to where these aliens appeared." Nate suggested, as they pressed on.
Soon they arrived at the same train yard where Lincoln and his sibs first fought the Stingers. The rangers looked around, as Nate began, "According to the articles about this place there were traces of scorch marks all around and a hint of methane in the air."
"And?" Ravi asked.
"Based off all these articles on the aliens, my sources point me to this particular alien the public knows as Swampfire."
"Swampfire?" Zoey asked, as her friend shrug.
"This alien according to eye witnesses claim he has the ability to shoot fire and has the scent of methane all around him." Nate explained.
"And if this was the first sighting of alien activity in more than a few years..." Devon pondered, as Nate finished.
"Swampfire was the first alien to be used."
"Where to now?" Steel asked, as Nate led the way.
The group snuck over to the TV studio that was the sighting of the Bopper Bunch massacre. The studio itself looked abandoned and closed down.
"What happened here?" Ravi asked, as Nate checked the article on his phone.
"According to this, MEL Studios was the sighting of where these animatronics of a kids show went crazy, killed all the parents of the audience and captured all the kids. Until our alien heroes put a stop to them."
"How can animatrons for a kids show be capable of doing anything like that?" Devon asked.
"The animatrons were very advanced." Nate answered.
"Bet they're not advanced as me." Steel boasted.
"Afterward the whole studio was shut down. Strange is the police and paramedics didn't show up until afterward, and the whole studio was barricaded shut."
"How do you think the aliens knew what was happening?" Zoey asked.
"I don't think they heard it from someone," Nate continued, "I think Steel may really be onto something about the aliens being one person."
"Really?" Steel asked.
Nate nodded, "The police reported no break ins at the studio that could've been caused by any of the aliens. I think they were already in there."
"Yes!" Steel cheered, "I knew it."
"So do we have any potential suspects?" Ravi asked.
"I hacked into the studios old records and checked the names off of everyone who attended the show. I ruled out every adult there because of the body count. Majority of the kids were all being held hostage according to the producer."
"So still nothing?" Zoey asked.
"Afraid so." Nate sighed.
"Is there anywhere else we can go?" Devon asked.
"Only other place of any importance is this place, the Burpin' Burger."
"What happened there?" Steel inquired.
"Well, our Spidermonkey friend busted up some armed crooks who tried to rob the place. He made quick work of them and they gave him all the Burpin Burgers the crooks threatened them to make."
"Sounds like a good spot." Zoey said.
"And I am hungry." Devon admitted.
"So let's check it out." Ravi said, as they hurried.
Later on they stopped at the Burpin' Burger and went inside before looking for a table. As they did so, Lincoln, and his whole sibs were sharing a table together, "Gotta love sibling meetings at Burpin' Burger." Lana said.
"I know, right?" Leni asked.
"So, dudes, any word on Splice or anything?" Luna asked Lincoln and Lisa.
"Nothing." Lisa sighed.
"I may have stopped those robots from taking the Cloud Seeder, but they will no doubt try to take it again." Lincoln suspected.
"Guessing you'll be doing a stakeout?" Lynn asked.
"More or less."
Leni glanced around and spotted the rangers. Her focus was mostly on Steel and what he was wearing, "OM Gosh. How can that guy walk around in a coat like that in this warm weather?"
"Probably gets Cold Flashes." Luan joked and laughed, making her sibs sigh.
"I'm gonna go refill my drink." Lincoln said, as he got up and walked to the machine.
As he was about to fill it up, Devon who just got a drink bumped into him, "Oh man, sorry." Devon apologized.
"My bad," Lincoln replied, "Here, after you."
"Thanks." Devon started to fill his drink.
"I'm Lincoln by the way. Lincoln Loud."
"Devon Daniels."
"I don't think I've ever seen you around here," Lincoln noticed, "And I know plenty of the people in town."
"Me and my friends are visiting here." Devon answered, while keeping up a facade.
"Friends?"
"Over there." Devon motioned to his friends, which Lincoln took notice of one of his friends being the guy in the coat.
"Is your friend all right? Why's he wearing a heavy coat in this weather?" Lincoln asked, as he started to refill his drink.
Devon paused, before coming up with an excuse, "Cold flashes. He gets chilly very easily."
"I see. Luan was actually right."
"Luan?" Devon asked.
"One of my sisters. They're all over there." he motioned to their table.
Devon looked over seeing all ten Loud sisters, and was flabbergasted, "Wait a minute, don't tell me..."
"Yup. All ten of them are my sibs."
"You have ten sisters?" Devon asked in disbelief.
"That's right. I'm the middle child."
"You must come from a really big family."
"I sure do. Every day is crazy at the Loud House, as we call our home."
"It must be growing up with that many sibs."
"Well, it was nice meeting you." Lincoln said, as they shook hands.
As the shook, Devon noticed peeking out of Lincoln's jacket sleeve was an odd looking watch. But he caught sight of the dial and recognized it as the symbol on Spidemonkey's torso, as well as on the other aliens with their pictures in the papers and online.
"Nice meeting you too." Devon said, as the two went their separate ways.
As Lincoln sat down with his sisters, Lucy spoke, "Who was that you were talking too Lincoln?"
"His name's Devon. He and his friends are from out of town," Lincoln motioned to the group, "And by the way, Luan was right about the guy in the coat."
"Yes!" Luan cheered.
"Luan, actually right?" Lisa asked dumbfounded, "Nothing makes sense anymore." her mouth hung open as she remained in shock.
"I think Lisa's broken." Leni told her sibs.
At the Rangers table, Devon sat down, as Zoey spoke, "Who was that, Devon?"
"His name's Lincoln Loud, and I think we found our aliens." he whispered.
"What?" Steel asked, as they leaned in.
"I saw this strange watch on his wrist, the dial of it looked just like the symbol on all the aliens."
"You're serious?" Ravi asked, as Devon nodded.
"Interesting," Nate began, "Lincoln Loud was the name of one of the guests at the Bopper Bunch show."
"Were there others with the last name Loud there?" Zoey asked.
"Correct, four of them." Nate confirmed.
"Must've been four of his sisters." Devon said motioned to the table with the sibs.
"Whoa, that's a lot of sisters." Steel gasped.
"So what do we do?" Ravi asked.
"Well, we have to confront him on it, but not scare him into thinking we're the enemy again." Devon whispered.
"Let's see where he and his siblings go." Nate suggested.
So they enjoyed some burgers, and waited as the Loud siblings left. They left the place and watched them leave in Vanzilla.
"There's no way we'll catch them on foot." Zoey said.
"I'll take Cruise and follow them." Devon said, as he summoned his beast bot Cruise.
"What's up, Devon?"
"Cruise, we gotta follow that van, but we need to keep a distance." Devon ordered.
"On it." Cruise shifted into bike mode. Devon got on and rode off after Vanzilla.
Devon tailed Vanzilla from afar before pinpointing it's location in a suburban house. Devon got off Cruise and looked at the house where Vanzilla was parked in the driveway, "That's the place," Devon spoke into his communicator, "Guys, I found their home. Sending you coordinates now."
Soon enough the rest of the rangers arrived, "We got here as soon as we could." Nate said.
Zoey looked over at the house, "That's the place?"
"Sure is."
"Then let's go." Steel said, as they walked up to the Loud House, and Ravi rang the bell.
Answering it was Rita who was surprised at the group, especially Cruise, and Steel still in his coat and hat, "Uh, may I help you?"
"Ma'am. We'd like to speak with Lincoln, please." Devon began.
"It's a matter of great importance." Nate added.
Rita knowing if not his friends, or sisters coming for a visit anybody who was looking for him knew it had to do with his double life. She turned around and called, "Lincoln, for you!"
Lincoln came down and saw Devon in the door way, "Devon?"
"Lincoln, we need to talk." he began.
"Sure. Come in, I guess." Lincoln said, while feeling confused.
As the group entered, Lincoln and his family were surprised at the sight of Cruise, "You have a robot with you?"
"My name is Cruise." the cheetah beast bot answered.
"And he's not the only one." Steel answered, as he threw off his disguise, surprising everyone.
"Another?" Lynn asked in surprise.
"So I was wrong?" Luan asked.
Lisa sighed in relief, "Now everything makes sense."
"So what do you guys want?" Lincoln asked.
"We're here to tell you we're not your enemies." Devon began.
The Loud Family started to get nervous, as Lincoln spoke keeping his cool, "What're you talking about?"
"I think you know very well what we're talking about... Spidermonkey." Devon stated.
The girls eyes widened, as Lincoln himself suddenly realized who he was talking too, "You. You're those five armored warriors I fought last night."
"You're correct." Nate answered.
"My name is Devon. And this is Ravi, Zoey, Nate, and Steel."
"At first I wanted it to be 'Mr. Fantastic Super Handsome Strong as Steel'," the robot began, "But we stuck with Steel."
"Ok, and who are you guys exactly?" Lori asked.
"We're the Power Rangers." Devon answered.
"Power Rangers?" Lana asked.
"Never heard of you." Luna said.
"Well, that's not surprising since we checked and found no records of any other Rangers in this dimension." Nate replied.
"Wait, this dimension?" Lucy asked.
"Are you saying you guys are from another universe?" Lincoln gasped.
"Correct." Ravi confirmed.
"My mind is blown." Lisa gasped.
"So can we get some introductions here?" Steel asked, "I know you got a lot of siblings here."
"Oh, right," Lincoln replied, "These are my sisters. Lori. Leni. Luna. Luan. Lynn. Lucy. Lola. Lana. Lisa. And this is Lily."
"And we're the proud parents," Rita began, "Rita."
"And I'm Lynn Sr." the father introduced himself.
"A pleasure." Devon replied.
"So what are you power rangers doing here?" Lincoln asked.
"We came to your world to stop our archenemy Evox and his henchmen." Zoey began, as Nate continued.
"We have reason to believe he's partnered up with a new accomplice in this world."
"Dr. Splice." the Loud Family gasped.
"So you know him?" Ravi asked.
"We go way back." Lincoln replied.
"I think we need to exchange some origins here, don't you?" Lisa suggested.
"Affirmative." Nate agreed.
"Well, we're called Power Rangers," Devon began, "We're a team of superheroes fused with animal DNA granting us special abilities. We're entrusted in protecting our city Coral Harbor if not the world from the threat of Evox, a virus that wants to take over the power of the Morphing Grid by collecting supplies of Morph-X to use for energy."
"With his henchmen the Tronics which you fought last night and evil robot clones of our friends Blaze and Roxy, along with his assistant Scrozzle they aim to do just that." Zoey explained.
"We believe Evox has partnered with your Dr. Splice for some big evil project." Nate said.
"A mad animal obsessed doctor working together with an evil computer virus," Lynn began, "What could they possibly be up to?"
"I don't know, but I do know they're probably two chips short of a micro." Luan laughed, making her sibs face fault.
The rangers were confused, but Steel laughed, "Oh, I like this one. She's got a good sense of humor."
"So what's with the robots?" Leni asked.
"They're actually called Beast Bots," Nate answered, "We developed them at Grid Battleforce to serve as our partners."
"My name is Cruise." the cheetah beast bot greeted.
"Might as well bring ours out." Ravi said, as she and Zoey released their beast bots Smash and Jax.
"Hey, everyone." Smash greeted while making gorilla noises.
"What's up?" Jax greeted.
"Whoa, awesome!" Lynn gasped, as she checked out Smash.
Leni gasped at the sight of Jax, "Oh, my goodness!" she picked the robot rabbit up, "He is so cute!"
"Hey, I am not cute!" Jax argued.
"Jax is very sensitive about that." Zoey warned her.
Lisa looked at Steel, "So you're a beast bot and a power ranger?"
"Oh, yes. I was created by my brother Nate here."
"Brother?" Lola asked in confusion.
"It's a long story." Nate replied.
"We're listening." Lincoln said.
"When Evox was still just a computer program he captured me and forced me to build him a body. When it was about ready I tampered with it by adding my own DNA to it along with Scarab Beetle DNA. Evox was unable to possess it because of my human DNA and Steel came to life."
"So you see? We're brothers." Steel boasted.
"That's prodigious." Lisa gasped.
"So, Lincoln, how does a simple teenage boy like you become so many alien heroes?" Zoey wondered, as the rangers were ready to listen.
Lincoln sighed, "Well, this all began a couple of years ago when I was just eleven. I went out to the park with my best friend Clyde to watch a meteor shower. While watching it we saw a meteor coming right for us. It crashed and we found out it wasn't a meteor, but a pod. It opened up and clamping onto my wrist was this watch device."
He rolled up his sleeve showing them the device, "It's called the Omnitrix. And it has the ability to change me into various alien creatures out there in the galaxy."
Nate got a good look at the watch, "Amazing. This tech is so advanced. I don't think even Grid Battleforce could ever make something like this."
"Well, it was made by the smartest being in the entire galaxy." Lincoln admitted.
"So you've been using the Omnitrix to be a hero for your town?" Ravi asked.
"That's right. I've taken on crooks, psychopaths, monsters, aliens, bounty hunters, warlords, you name it."
"Based off all the Royal Woods history involving your aliens, we can believe it." Zoey admitted.
Devon spoke to the boy, "Look, I know we don't know each other that much, but if our enemies have joined forces then we need to do the same."
"It's the only way to protect your world from whatever they have planned." Nate added.
Lincoln looked at the rangers and his family who smiled and nodded. Lincoln looked back at the rangers and spoke, "I'm always up for teaming up with guys looking to fight the good fight. So I'm game." he locked fists with Devon.
(And so the two sides have finally gained an understanding. Will they be able to stop Evox and Splice in time? See you next time.)
