Helluva Loud Adventures.
"Stabbing, Burning and Talking."

(September 16. Somewhere outside of Gettysburg.)

Somewhere on the roof top of an old mansion, is where Lincoln is, and he looks around and sees nothing but open spaces from where civil war was made, and then he contacts the others. "Guys, I got no visual on the target, what about the rest of you guys?"

Moxxie. "Found nothing, the target must've been on the run or good at hiding. This will not be easy, and this place doesn't have any way for Tannins to pinpoint his exact location, not while she is still tracking locations from where D.H.O.R.K.S might be."

Millie. "Nothing here, Linc. All I see is forests for miles, I'm gonna go and see if he might be hiding at the nearby gas station. Chances he robbed it and is ready to burn it."

Luna. "Nothing here little bro, but I am gonna keep on the prowl near the woods. Only thing here are campers, and some local cops also looking for what we seek, I will ask if they have seen the guy. We are all on the same page."

Lincoln sighs, and then he has an idea. He closes his eyes, and then he sniffs the air, then his eyes turn red when they open, and he looks around. He does see some folks touring the place, and some of them take photos of Lincoln Silva Hound, since they know who he is, and then Lincoln finally sees something. 'Fucking gotcha!'

Lincoln leaps off the mansion, and he lands on all fours and away from the crowd, and he is on the move. He enters his hellhound form, and he races across the field, he can also pick up the slight scent of paranormal activity in the area, but he doesn't bother with them. "Guys, track my GPS and come to where I am. I found him, and... Now!"

Lincoln then leaps through some bushes in the woods and he tackles the target, and it is the man he seeks. "Victor Criss!" The teen sees the hellhound and he readies his knife. "Someone wants you, and we're here to collect, so best to submit to what horrors happens next!"

The man growls and then he goes after the hellhound, but Lincoln dodges each attempt for the teen to stab him, and then Lincoln sees the Burst Drone is here to record this and that means the others aren't too far. "You know what your issue is, dickhead? You don't have backup."

Then Millie and Moxxie come from above, and they land they're knives onto the teens shoulder, then they start to repeatedly stab this bastard all over his chest, and he knocks them off, but he feels himself bleeding, and he tries to get away, and this makes the trio snicker as he is suffering and trying to escape.

But then Luna stands in front of him, and he tries to beg her to not kill him, but Luna chuckles. "Sorry dude, but the client wants ya dead, well suffering. So..." she then pulls out two knives. "Stabby, stabby mate." she then begins to quickly stab this man all over his body, and even through his head at where his eye balls are, and then she pulls them out and his eye balls have been removed.

Lincoln heads over and he uses the soul orb, and he is trapped, and inside they see the target is suffering from a shadowy monster who is stabbing him, repeatedly and he is screaming in horror, and the other snicker seeing this. "And that's a wrap guys."

Moxxie then grabs the Burst Drone. "And the recording is complete. Millie and I will take these two to the client, and get the payment. A shame the boss couldn't be here, he has a restaurant to manage."

"Same with Loona too" replied Millie, the imp couple then head through the portal, leaving Lincoln and Luna to look at the corpse, and so they grab some shovels and prepare to bury him, and then something comes to the minds of the Silva Hound kids.

'What the heck is mom doing today? Why didn't she wanna come with us?'

(Mayberry Residence, Franklin Avenue Royal Woods Michigan.)

Luan is done with her homework, and she is the first one to come home. She got a lift from Lori, when she drove by, and now she heads down stairs when she hears her mother has arrived. "Hey mom, homework done and done. Also, I was thinking, we can tag team and cook something... What the heck is that unholy thing doing here?!"

In the arms of her adopted sinner mother, Mara Mayberry, she has the dummy from which Luan once used, Mr. Coconuts, and then she smirks. "Hey kiddo, look who I brought with me after a trip to the Pawnshop, and I was also given another dummy, which I donated to someone else."

Luan then grabs the broom. "Mom, what are you doing?! That damned thing is..."

Mayberry speaks. "This thing is your past, and was given to you by your parents, and thus your quest to become a comedian ignited, and then escalated the pranks you made. This is your past, and the sole reason why I brought it here, is for you to end this thing, and remove he past and free your soul. You have to end this, and save yourself."

Luan is surprised to hear this, and she looks to the dummy and she recalls, she has a split personality disorder because of that thing, and then she looks to her mom. "Let's end this thing... I wanna end this thing." Mara Mayberry nods, and they go to the garage and grab an empty trash can, and some kerosene and they head to the back, and Luan has some lighter fluid.

Luan then places the trash can in the middle of the backyard, and then she puts some wood, and paper, and then she sees her mother with the dummy. "Do you wanna do the honors, sweetie?"

Luan sighs and she nods. "Yes, I would love to." she is handed Mr. Coconuts, and then she looks to the dummy, and she recalls the good times she had with that thing, but she recalls how annoying he could be to others, and how he back talks to folks, because of her split personality with that thing, and then she recalls the pranks, which she believes is not her, but in fact that when April Fools comes, she has been taken over by her split personality which is a demented and sick side, to the dummy.

"Well, ciao Mr. Coconuts. See you, never." she tosses the dummy into the trash can, and it looks to her as if it seeks redemption, but Luan covers him in gas, and then with the lighter, she ignites him and so Luan and her mom watch as Mr. Coconuts is now engulfed in flames, and deep down Luan kinda feels happy. "Wow. That felt good, thanks mom, for bringing him here so he can be ended properly, by me."

Mara Mayberry nods. "You're welcome sweetie, and I am glad that your split personality is no longer..."

Then some smoke belches out, and a dying spirit of Mr. Coconuts comes out and screams in pain. "Oh, what a world..." Then it fades away, and this surprises, and startles both Luan and Mara Mayberry.

Mayberry is too freaked out to move. "So... This might not have been a split personality thing..."

Luan is as freaked out as she is. "This wasn't a split personality thing."

(Somewhere in the town.)

The Fire from an old apartment building is being put out, and everyone are safe from harm, and they all wave to the one who helped save them, Lady Ace. She then waves to everyone and then she calls out. "Glad that everyone is A-Okay." she then flies off, and she patrols the town for trouble, but she is not the only one on patrol.

Lady Ace sees all the aircraft in the sky, all on patrol and keeping an eye out for trouble, and this makes her smile. 'Glad that I have some backup in case something bad happens, just like what happened the other day and...' Then she recalls something. 'Damn it, Loona knows who I am. She must've recognized my voice and how I said her name. Ugh, what the hell is wrong with me?'

Then Lady Ace spots someone on the top of a building, and this figure waves to her, and is none other than Loona Silva Hound, and Lady Ace knows that she wishes to speak to her. Loona didn't even bother to call Amanda Bright or visit her house, and she was cautious about when she might arrive, and kept the Lady Ace artifact close to her, and yeah she calls it that.

Lady Ace knows that she has to go and talk to her, there is no escaping this and so she flies over and she lands in front of the hellhound. "Ms. Bright?" She has a soda and tosses it to her, but she doesn't catch it and it falls off the building. "Nice catch, look I just wanna say..."

"Look, I am so sorry that I kept what was founded at the Incognito Labs Raid. I never should have taken this, and allowed the sinner to take it. I just thought that it was a good ideas, I was so tempted and curious about what it does, and then it spoke to me about a user thing, and then wanted to cling to me and become part of whatever I was gonna do and then I found the settings to the color."

"Amanda Bright..."

"So, I went with the colors from Ace Savvy, despite the fact that he doesn't have super powers, and so I went onward with a catchphrase which would be better as I went with something I have always dreamed, to be a superhero. So, I just stuck around with this thing, and didn't even bother to return it, but it felt so good to help folks and save the day and stop crime, but I hate the moments when bad guys wanna feel me or take me down with sick intentions.":

"Amanda..."

"I was planning to tell you one day, but I was too scared to even say it because I didn't know what would happen to me, and this suit is so cool and gave me these awesome powers, and fighting knowledge which I didn't know I could do, and people need someone to look up to, and helping fight crime in locations that neighbor Royal Woods is good too, because it means I might be able to also help keep the rest of the state of Michigan safe too."

"Lady Ace!"

"Yes?"

Loona then calms down. "I wanted to say, I don't wanna tell everyone about who you are."

Lady Ace blinks and she is confused. "Say, what now?"

Loona nods. "You love doing this, you wanna keep the town and other places safe, and I think this shit is a fucking awesome idea. So, I will not tell everyone else, but my kids will wanna know what I am hiding, and chances they will keep this a secret too. Okay?"

Lady Ace wipes away her sweat. "Wow. That is... Wow, I didn't see that coming. Ummm... Thank you, Loona. I don't know what to say, or how to thank you."

Loona then hands her the soda she didn't catch. "Take a small break, then get back on track. This is a good line of work for you, next to working for the Royal Woods News Paper. Proud of you, Lady Ace, and see you around. Though, know this... Tomorrow, Amanda Bright has been chosen to see the Allied Outpost FutureTech thing." Loona then hops off the roof, and she takes her leave.

Lady Ace sighs in relief, she feels happy to know that everything is A-Okay, and she cannot wait to continue her superhero work, but they don't know that Tannins is using the FutureTech Burst Drones and she overhears this, and she has a lot to think about.

"To be continued in the next chapter folks!"

A/N: Thank you "Avenger44" and the target is dead, Lady Ace's secret is kept safe, and Luan has perished... Oh what the fuck just happened to Mr. Coconuts?! I hope you all enjoyed reading this new chapter folks!
