Hey Yo, NerdRyuu here, and finally The Last Loud! This chapter will be the FIRST great game change event of the story! I won't spoil anything, because you're already going to find out in some minutes, but before, let's answer the question I received this week!
Dimitri Gomez: Will only realistic weapons be used in the story or something similar to fallout weapons will appear at some point
I don't plan to make big sci-fi things on this fic, it'll be more grounded, but on the future I may change my mind, but at the moment, no.
Disclaimer: I do NOT own The Loud House
Luna summoned a sibling meeting. I don't know what is, but it sound like it was serious. We got gathered on the meeting room, there, we sat at the table, just Luna kept standing.
"I hope this is important Luna." Lori said. "What is it?"
Luna twirled her thumbs and bit her lowers lip.
"I…" She started. "I'm going straight to the point!" She said before taking a deep breath. "I… am pregnant."
"You WHAT!?" I shouted.
"Lynn, I…" Luna spoke, before Lori interrupting her.
"Luna, please, tell me you're literally kidding." She had her fingers on the bridge of her nose.
"I'm… not." Luna just said.
"And, Please…" Lori continued. "DON'T TELL ME… That the father is Lincoln."
"OF COURSE HE IS!" I snapped at Lori, angry. "HE'S THE ONLY MAN HERE! OF COURSE HE'S THE FATHER!"
"What's the problem?" Lily asked confused, we got silent. Lori just said.
"Lily and Lisa, can you two get out of the room? This is a adult problem."
"Excuse me Lori, but I think that with my Intellect, I am suited to…" Lisa got cut by Lori.
"GET OUT!" Lisa cowered and exited the room, being followed by Lily.
"How this happened?" Lori asked, and Lana responded.
"Well, if what You taught us, when a man and woman…" Lori glared at Lana, who stopped talking immediately. "Sorry…"
"We… we've been having relationships for some time…" Luna begun. I looked to Lincoln. He was staring the table, shocked. "It started a few weeks after Day Zero… I found him crying in his room and… well… things escalated."
"Oh, no, really?" Lori Said, mockingly.
"Luna, You said to me that you had resolved that with him." Luan said. Lori turned to her.
"You knew it!?" Lori Said incredulously. "WHY'D YOU DIDN'T TOLD ME!?"
"I only knew the first time! And we didn't told you to avoid this very situation!" Luan tried to explain.
"YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME! IF SO, LUNA WOULDN'T BE PREGNANT!" Lori snapped. I stood up and shouted to Lori.
"HEY, DON'T BLAME HER! YOU'RE NOT BETTER EATHER! YOU MADE THE RULE OF SHOWERING IN PAIRS JUST SO YOU COULD SHOWER WITH LINCOLN!"
"YEAH? BUT I'M NOT THE ONE WHO WENT TO LINCOLN'S ROOM AND MASTURBATED ON HIS SIDE!" Lori shouted back. I felt my spine chill.
"HOW DO KNOW THAT!?"
"I told her." Lucy spoke, with her creepy monotone voice. "You masturbate almost every night. Sometimes I can hear you muttering Lincoln's name." I trembled, both in embarrassment and anger.
"WELL, YOU KEEPS WRITING OUT LOUD THOSE EROTIC STORIES ABOUT YOU AND LINCOLN!" I shouted. Almost every night, before we sleep, she would write them, while proclaiming them out loud. Lucy's pale face blushed, but she kept her blank face.
"Wait." Leni finally spoke. "So, it's fine if I make a baby with Linkie?"
"NO!" Lori and I shouted together.
"Oh… Wait, this is unfair! Why can Luna do it and not me?" Leni said with a frown.
"Leni, this is not a discussion on who can go or not to the mall, this is serious! Oh who am I kidding, you're too dumb to even understand what I'm talking about!" Lola said, and we all, save for Lincoln, winced. Leni looked hurt from what Lola said.
Our discussion suddenly stopped when we heard the sound of Lincoln's chair scrapping the ground. We looked at him. He stood up, and slowly walked around the table, on Luna's direction.
"Lincoln…" Luna said. Lincoln just stood there, in front of her, looking at the ground. And suddenly he hugged her.
"Luna…" He spoke. "If this is where our wrong acts guided us… It can't be changed. I love you… And… and…"
He lifted his face to Luna, he had tears in his eyes, but he was smiling, those weren't tears of suffering, but… of joy.
"…And I love the kid we're having." Those words made my eyes go wide. I pulled my hand to my chest, I could feel something on there. It was… Jealousy.
For the first time I felt more than a disgusting crush on Lincoln. I felt sorrow. Sorrow of a broken heart. I wanted Lincoln. But he already had other…
No.
No, I'm not losing this! Luna may be ahead on this competition, but I'm not losing.
I'm not going to lose.
The Last Loud mixed the contents of the pan, a mixture of water and wheat flour. They made a campfire and was cooking their meal for the next month or so. They had already separated the plastic bags where their hardtack would be stored. Hardtack can last for a long time in storage, and seeing that they had half a bag of flour left and a gallon of water, they wouldn't be short of food for a long time.
The next thing They wanted to do was finding a Geiger counter. And they didn't had the slightest idea where they could find one. Maybe they could searched a nuclear power plant? Well, that was their safest idea, they also could search a Home Depot, but finding one, even in ruins is a difficult task.
And the part that made things the hardest, they didn't knew where even they were. They had traveled north from Solana Generating Station, they knew that they were somewhere north of Arizona, but nothing else, the ruins of the town they were didn't made things easier. Maybe they could travel back to Michigan, they knew Royal Woods like the back of their hands, from even before Day Zero. It had a Home Depot back there, and it was in a fairly good state, maybe they could search for a Geiger counter there.
With the generator, they didn't had to care about fuel for the bike, so they could make it there in just a few days if they stop only to eat and rest.
Sun had set 10 minutes ago, they had set camp inside a closed off building, there they would rest. Not sleep, seeing that it was too dangerous to actually sleep. Sleep, they didn't have slept a full 8 hours for so long, just short naps between walks.
They were getting comfortable sitting against a wall when they heard something, and this made them go in alert immediately. They peeked out the window, and saw down the ruined street, two men assaulting a young woman. They were beating her and cursing her.
They just stood there in silence. They wouldn't do anything. They didn't pick unnecessary fights, even less if they didn't had anything to do with them. Yes, they we're sorrow for that woman, but they couldn't help. They didn't wanted to repeat a past mistake.
They were going to leave her be, when they saw the men starting to strip her. The Last Loud trembled in fury. Those men were going to rape her.
Without thinking, they jumped over the window and marched over their direction.
"Hold her, I'll go first." One of the men said as he forcefully opened her legs while the other hold her arms.
"Hey look there!" The other man said when he spotted The Last Loud approaching. The other man looked at their direction.
"Go away, don't see we're occupied?" said the first man. The Last Loud just continued approaching.
"If you don't go away, we're also going to kill yo…" The second man didn't finished his sentence, as The Last Loud had, in a split second, pulled their handgun and shot him right on the left eye. The woman screamed as he fell backwards.
"Shit!" the second said, motioning to grab his own gun on their holster, but was knocked backwards with a swing of a baseball bat, being pierced and cut by the barbed wire on the tip. "This is cowardice!" He shouted spiting blood.
The Last Loud said nothing and swung once again the bat, hitting him on the cheek. "Stop!" He said spiting more blood. The Last Loud just swung the bat down, hitting him on the head. "Stop…" Another swing. "Please… Stop…" He pleaded. The Last Loud just swung again. And again, and again. He had already fallen, but they continued to beat him on the back of his head.
"Please, he's already dead!" The woman pleaded. They finally stopped. The woman didn't took their eyes of that strange that had brutally saved her. She lowered when they turned to her.
"Slavers… Their things are all yours." The Last Loud said with their filtered voice, making it impossible to tell if they were male or female. They just turned around and started walking back to their camp.
"Wait!" The woman asked, but The Last Loud didn't listen. "I need your help."
"Help yourself." They spoke coldly.
"My daughter! She was kidnapped! It was other Slavers!" The Last Loud stopped.
Slavers…
They turned around to look the woman. "Talk."
N/A: Boom, I said this chapter would be a game changer! Luna is pregnant with Lincoln's child!
I'll be totally honest with you all ok? I don't like much the Sin Kids, I don't know why, I just don't like.
In the future arc, we met with the first new character that I spoke in a previous question! And also we heard for the first time about The Slavers. Who are them? what they do? where they live? What they eat? This and much more in the next chapter!
Bye!
