(And here we are again. I know the sites being a pain with this whole email glitch going on, but still I'm trying to update as much as I can.)
One night in Royal Woods out in the middle of town in an alley way electrical energy was crackling into a spot as a portal opened up. Stepping out from that portal was a figure that wore sneakers, blue jeans and a black zipped up hoody with the hood up concealing most of their face.
"So, this is another Royal Woods?" the figure asked in a familiar male voice, "Perfect. I hope it's ready to experience the same pain I felt before." he snickered while lifting up a sleeve to reveal he was wearing the Omnitrix.
The next morning at the Loud residence, Lincoln woke up yawning and got ready until he heard a call from Lana downstairs, "Lincoln, get down here and see this!"
Lincoln curious by the worried tone of his sister came down to see the rest of his family including his visiting older sibs were watching the TV and looking just as shocked.
"What's going on?" Lincoln asked.
"Look at this, bro." Luna motioned to the TV.
Lincoln saw the news, "And in shocking events, Royal Woods was vandalized to such high levels to be more than just simple pranks. This is an act of someone out for trouble!"
The family saw so many shops in town were vandalized from broken windows, torched, and smashed. Some places included the theater, Gus', Flip's, and even the mall.
"Who would do such a thing?" Leni asked in shock.
"This just in, we have footage of the perpetrator behind these incidents. Or rather 'perpetrators'." the newsman corrected.
Footage was being played of several of Lincoln's alien heroes from Swampfire, Chromastone, Echo-Echo, Humungosaur, and Lodestar causing the vandalizings at several different spots in town.
"No way!" Luan gasped, as all eyes fell on Lincoln who was just as surprised.
Suddenly Lincoln's phone rang, and he saw it was Clyde. Lincoln answered and saw Clyde on video call, "Dude!" Lincoln told him
"Dude!" Clyde repeated in shock.
"Dude!" Lincoln repeated still in shock.
"Dude!" Clyde repeated back.
"DUDE!" Lincoln cried.
"DUDE!" Clyde cried before their call ended.
"Ladies, and gentlemen, it appears our alien hero saviors have gone rogue." the newsman feared.
"Lincoln." Rita and Lynn gasped.
"No, that's not right!" Lincoln argued.
"Lincoln, were you sleep walking?" Lynn Jr asked.
"No! I don't do that." Lincoln argued in defense.
"He's right," Lisa agreed, "The looks on the faces of those aliens don't look like they're sleep walking or in a trance. They look like they're really taking pleasure in the damage they were doing."
"Albedo?" Lily suggested.
"That is a good theory." Lisa admitted, "But if he escaped prison, we would've been informed."
"Plus Azmuth dismantled his Omnitrix." Lori reminded them.
"Well, if that wasn't Albedo, then who're those guys?" Luna asked.
"I don't know," Lincoln answered, before frowning, "But I am going to find out!" he ran back upstairs and came down with his hoverboard.
Before he could go out the door his parents blocked the way, "Hold on, Lincoln." Rita said.
"Mom, I have to check this out." Lincoln insisted.
"Not alone you're not." Lynn replied.
"Yeah, we're coming with you." Lori said, as she and her fellow sisters got up and stood behind her.
"Guys." Lincoln said moved.
"Well, this is what family does, right?" Lola asked rhetorically.
"Right. Alright, Louds. Let's move!" Lincoln ordered, as they headed to Vanzilla and drove off.
As the family drove into town they took notice of all the damage done with the shop owners already looking into hiring repairmen and other to clean up the mess made.
"This is so not cool." Luna said in disbelief.
"So do we even know how to find this impostor?" Leni wondered.
"No doubt whoever did this is still in Royal Woods," Lincoln suspected, "Probably waiting for me to show myself."
"Lincoln, if you change into one of your aliens then you're going to draw attention." Luan noted.
"Yeah, whoever did this has made you public enemy number one." Lynn Jr added.
"Even so, whoever did this is not going to get away with it," Lincoln replied, until spotted someone in the alley looking suspicious, "Wait, stop!" the dad pulled over.
"Lincoln?" the girls wondered.
"I thought I saw someone watching us." Lincoln said suspiciously.
"Who?" Lana asked.
"I don't know, but they're gone now," Lincoln sighed, until dropping in front of the van was Big Chill, "Or not!"
"Lynn, back up!" Rita ordered, as her husband backed away from the ice alien.
"I'm going out there!" Lincoln readied the Omnitrix, and jumped out transforming, "Jetray!"
Jetray flew close to Big Chill and spoke, "Ok, buddy, who the heck are you?"
Big Chill just laughed, "Wouldn't you like to know."
"Yeah, I kinda do." Jetray replied.
"Catch me, and maybe I'll tell you." Big Chill sneered, as he was about to fly off only for Jetray to make chase.
Lori seeing this started a live video message, "Attention all of Royal Woods, what we all saw on the news has left us shocked, but I'm here with my family to tell you our alien heroes have not gone rogue. Look at this!" she showed them the scene above with Jetray fighting Big Chill, "I know this looks strange, but someone has been impersonating our alien heroes, and they're not going to let them slander their good names. All I ask of you is to trust that they will deal with this imposter." she ended the feed.
"You really think they'll believe you?" Lynn Jr. asked.
"I don't know, but we have to do our part to preserve Lincoln's good name." Lori replied.
"Step on it, dad they're getting away!" Lana ordered, as Lynn drove faster following the two flying aliens.
Jetray managed to steer Big Chill all the way to the junkyard where the Loud got out of Vanzilla and followed them inside. They looked up as the two flying aliens descended with their Omnitrix symbols beeping before in a flash they became Lincoln and the unknown figure again.
"Alright, pal. I'm not letting you go anywhere until you come clean," Lincoln began, "Is it really you, Albedo?"
"Hardly." the figure responded, as the Louds arrived.
"If you're not Albedo then who are you?" Lisa inquired.
The figure snickered, as he pulled down his hood to reveal he was Lincoln, only with black hair instead of white, "I am Lincoln Loud!"
This once again threw Lincoln and his family into shock, "What?!" they asked.
"But you can't be me!" Lincoln denied.
"I'm more you than you ever admitted," the other Lincoln answered, "But answer me this, have you heard of Eon?"
"Eon?" Lincoln gasped while recalling him, as did his family, "Yeah. He was me from some other universe."
"Well, think of me as exactly like that." the other Lincoln explained.
"Another universe?" Lisa asked in surprise.
"Yes. Eon told you he traveled to other universes turning other Lincoln Louds into other versions of him, didn't he?"
"Yes, he did say that." Lincoln remembered.
"Well, he once came to my world too. But rather than try and turn me into him, he let me be. I guess I sort of already reminded him of himself." the other Lincoln admitted with a sinister chuckle.
"In other words..." Luna trailed off.
"I'm Bad to the Bone." the alternate sneered.
"So I guess we should call you Bad Lincoln?" Luan guessed.
The alternate now dubbed Bad Lincoln frowned at her and the rest of the Loud Family, "You have a lot of gall to call me bad after what you all did to me!"
"What did we do to you?" Lola asked in confusion.
"You robbed me of my good name!" Bad Lincoln shouted making the Louds back away in fright.
"What do you mean your good name?" Lincoln asked in confusion.
"Answer me this, did your family label you bad luck before?" Bad Lincoln inquired.
At the mention of that question Lincoln recalled years ago how Lynn labeled Lincoln bad luck because of how his being at her game was her excuse for losing thus labeling him bad luck.
"Actually, yes." Lincoln admitted, while his family remembered the guilt they felt afterward when they finally dropped the whole bad luck excuse on Lincoln.
"Well, they did the same for me. They shunned me! Ruined me! Turned all of Royal Woods against me!" Bad Lincoln vented.
"Huh?" Lincoln wondered, "Didn't you try to prove them wrong by infiltrating Lynn's game while wearing the mascot costume to prove just because you were there nothing bad would happen?"
"I did, but they wanted to keep me in the mascot costume for life. So I told them to go to hell! So they cast me out. Rejected me. Even managed to convince everyone in town I was nothing but bad luck!"
"But what about Clyde?" Lincoln asked.
"He was the first they turned against me." Bad Lincoln frowned.
The Louds listening to this started remembering how stupid they were to think Lincoln was bad luck, but hearing in some other universe they actually turned Clyde and everyone of Royal Woods against their own son/brother started making them think what could've happened.
Rita spoke to the alternate, "Lincoln, sweetie, I know things didn't work out for you, but-"
"Shut up, woman!" Bad Lincoln ordered, "You're not my mother." Rita backed up to her husband sad to see how far her son fell all because of her and the others from his world.
"Ok, so what else happened?" Lincoln continued to listen.
"Shunned, abandoned, alone, all I could do was wander and steal like a street rat! But then one day my life changed forever. Coming down from the sky was a pod, and what was in it opened up new possibilities." he showed them his Omnitrix.
"The Omnitrix." Lincoln noted.
"Yes. Once I discovered what this watch was capable of I had a moment of clarity. That if I was going to be treated like a plague. Then I would be a plague to everyone in Royal Woods!" Bad Lincoln declared, "So my first order of business was to eliminate everyone who turned their backs on me. Starting with my family." he squinted in the direction of the Louds who gasped upon realizing what he did to their counterparts of his world.
"That's cold even to me." Lucy gasped.
"Then came everyone else. Clyde, Liam, Zach, Rusty, everyone in town that turned their backs on me! Over the years I turned Royal Woods into my own domain, and anyone who stood up against me paid the price."
Lincoln turned to the fourth wall, "Wow. Could I have ended up like this if my family didn't apologize to me?" he then spoke back to his counterpart, "So why're you here?"
"When Eon paid me a visit and told me about everything it opened up a window of opportunity."
"What kind of opportunity?" Lynn Sr. asked nervously.
"The concept of other universes where I exist. I wanted to see them all, so I traveled the galaxy using Galvan scientists to create for me a device to take me to the other universes surrounding my very being. And here I stand face to face with another alternate of myself. So your family forgave you?"
"Yes, well, some time after they stopped making me wear the mascot costume and got my things back," Lincoln admitted, "But they realized they were wrong to so that instead of just forsaking me."
Bad Lincoln squinted, "So you got to lead a happy life since then?"
"Well, not everything was always happy," Lincoln confessed, "I had some complaints and problems, but who doesn't?"
"Well, I think you should experience the same pain and suffering I did. Then we'll let that trauma build you real character." Bad Lincoln suggested.
"What do you mean the same pain and suffering?" the good Lincoln wondered suspiciously.
Bad Lincoln smirked, "How about I decimate your family and all your loved ones, and then crush this entire town and see what it all does to you?"
The Louds were frightened by what Bad Lincoln was planning to do, while Lincoln frowned at his alternate selves threat, "You can't do that. I won't let you!"
"You're welcomed to try and stop me, but I'm not taking chances on that happening."
"I will stop you, and I won't fail!" Lincoln readied his Omnitrix as did his bad self and the two transformed.
(And there you go. Bad Lincoln is actually modeled after Bad Ben, one of Ben Tennyson's evil alternate selves featured in Omniverse. I decided his back story into becoming bad was due to the events of No Such Luck, where instead of the Louds apologizing to Lincoln, they continued to forsake him thus fueling his hatred to want to get revenge on them when he discovered his version of the Omnitrix.)
