Helluva Loud Adventures.
"Another Lady Ace trouble."

(June 10. Royal-Hela Outpost. Outside of Royal Woods.)

Lady Ace is awake, and she is sitting on the bed after her recovery and she is filled with dread, and anger. Katherine Mulligan sits beside her, and she holds her hand. Lady Ace spent the night here, and thanks to Tannins and Velvet, she is recovered and whatever the hell Rodney did to her has been undone. But, they also discovered something else.

Tannins found out Rodney raped her before, and it all makes sense to Lady Ace, Rodney Spokes was in her apartment, and then knocked her out and then raped her, and made it look like she couldn't recall a thing. Now she feels horrified, and filled with stress and fear. Rodney Spokes, knows who she is.

Katherine tries to comfort her, but then the doors open and they see the others come through and then Katherine asks. "Well?"

Blitz sighs. "We couldn't find him. His trail went cold, ten miles outside of Royal Woods."

Moxxie speaks. "We have no ways to find him, he destroyed his trail and left as if he disappeared."

Millie continues. "We also had some backup, but it didn't seem much and they couldn't find him."

Loona continues. "But we do know one thing, Rodney Spokes is still within Saginaw, and hasn't even left the state or the county, and not even the town."

"But the bad part is, he has smartened up and learned" replied Lincoln. "So, this is not the usual Rodney Spokes which we all have dealt with, this is a new one and he seems determined."

"He's gone into hiding, and we don't even know where he is now" replied Luna. "So, Tannins is going to try and use their new satellite and track down where he might be, and it's taking some time."

Velvet then speaks, while eating popcorn. "They think the guy might have some tech he built which helps him hide, and if it is true, then it's gonna be hard trying to find him, and both Tannins and Athena are kinda annoyed."

Katherine Mulligan didn't like this, and before she speaks, Lady Ace gets up. "Wait, Amanda where are you going?"

"To find the son of a bitch, and put him out of his god damn misery!" said Lady Ace in anger, and she is glad the suit has a repair system to make it look as good as new, but it only triggers when Lady Ace says so. She sighs. "This is now personal, and I wanna take him down, myself."

Loona then gets in her way. "Lady Ace, calm down. Look, we get it. You wanna take that piece of shit down, well so do we. But we cannot let you go out there alone, and try to find him. He might try and take you down again, and it might not spell good if he gets the drop on you next time either."

Lady Ace doesn't bother with them, and she moves Loona aside. "I won't let him get the best of me, I will take him down and he is not going to live once I am done with him. He can come up with new tricks, but this time I am ready for him!"

Lady Ace leaves the area, and she takes to the skies to search for her enemy. The others didn't like where this was going.

(Later in the day.)

Lady Ace is on the patrol again, but then she lands at the old sewage plant, and she looks around and she looks ticked off. She then keeps an eye out, and looks for any more clues which the others have missed. She then sighs. "I know you're there, kid."

Lincoln then appears, from behind the roof door. "Hey, Lady Ace. Sorry, but they sent me to follow you and keep a close eye on you. We don't want what went down to happen again and..."

"I can take care of myself! Please, I don't need your help right now!" yelled Lady Ace, and her hands glow with energy, but this doesn't scare Lincoln.

"Amanda, calm down. Hey, we know how you feel about this. Heck, I am as pissed off as you are. The guy raped Ms. DiMartino, Belle Éclair, Becca Chang, Maria Santiago, and Alisa Barela, and this is becoming personal to me as well, because I am friends with those ladies, but you cannot just go off and take him down alone, and I can tell that revenge is clouding your judgment, which has happened to me several times... a lot of times."

"But, you cannot do this shit alone. We've got your back, so let us help you out. We know he has become cunning, determined and also sneaky, but if we put our heads together then we can take that asshole down, and make him suffer, no end him before he tries to go for someone else, and when I mean someone else, what I mean are those from the other world, and beneath our feet. We all know who Rodney has been having his eyes on."

Lady Ace sighs, and she looks to Lincoln. "Then help me find him, please."

Lincoln nods, and so they both walk around the roof and look for something. "We could try going inside, and see if he was there was something the others missed and never got the chance to find" replied Lincoln. Lady Ace then sees something, she picks it up and sees a photo of herself naked and unconscious and this angers her greatly, but she tries to calm down.

"Wanna go and follow the trail again?" asked Lady Ace. "Perhaps there is something else, the reason why his trail went cold."

Lincoln then picks up a lock pick. "Sounds like a plan, and something tells me he broke in here after he took..." then something hits his neck, and he pulls it out and sees the dart, and this shocks Lady Ace, but Lincoln doesn't go down, and then another dart comes but he grabs it before it hits him. "Nice try, but you're gonna have to..." the dart then blows up into smoke, and the gas is now inhaled by Lincoln.

Lincoln goes down to his knees, and he is now unconscious. "Lincoln!" This angers Lady Ace, and she fires all over the roof, and to some of the abandoned buildings, and as soon as she finishes her barrage, she sees that nothing has come out or was even there. Lady Ace is about to go towards Lincoln, but then she is struck in the back by a taser.

Lady Ace screams as electricity surges throughout her body, she struggles to break free, but when she turns around she is hit in the head by a crowbar, and then her legs are hit, and then her rear. Lady Ace goes down to her knees, and she reaches for Lincoln and struggles to stay conscious.

Rodney Spokes is now in front of her, and she growls and tries to get back up. "Lights out, Bright." Rodney Spokes hits Lady Ace with a frying pan, and she is knocked out. Rodney Spokes grins, and he turns off the taser. "Worked again, and now for the next part of the plan."

Rodney Spokes carries Lady Ace, and then he kicks the unconscious Lincoln in the gut. "Don't worry, soon you will suffer as well, and then I'll get rid of you and payback will be mine, it will be sweet and all for the Rod-Man." Rodney Spokes then takes his leave.

(Moments Later.)

Lincoln slowly wakes up, and then the portal opens and the others come through and Loona and Luna check on Lincoln. "Linc, what the hell happened?!" asked Loona.

"Wait, where's Lady Ace?!" asked Luna. They look around and they don't see her, but the roof looks like it took some damage, and that means a fight did break out, or yet they tried to attack someone.

Lincoln gets up, and he is confused. But then he sees the frying pan, and then he realizes. "Rodney Spokes... He got the drop on us and... Made me unconscious... Lady Ace, we have to find her!"

Loona then sees a note, and she reads what it says. "The home of what used to be the richest man there was, and is no more and nothing more than what it used to be."

Luna and Lincoln know what it means. "Tetherby's mansion!"

Loona rips the paper and she growls. "We need to get in there, prepared!"

(Tetherby's old mansion.)

The portal opens here, and a Grinder Tank comes through and the whole team is here, and they breach the front of the mansion, and they tear the stairs and the living room apart. The crew then stop the vehicle. "Alright, fan out and find out where Lady Ace and Rodney Spokes are, now!" yelled Lincoln, and he is carrying an Assault Rifle.

They all nod and they too have some heavy duty weapons, and they scatter around the structure and look for them. They go to each room, but find nothing for each room is just empty. Lincoln also looks around, but then something makes him realize. "Wait, the basement!"

Lincoln and Luna head there, they manage to kick the door open. Luna blows some flour, and there are no trip wires. "Let's move, bro." Lincoln and Luna head down the stairs, and there is a light on in there, but what they see horrifies them.

Lady Ace is naked, in tears and almost dazed, gagged and her arms chained as she is on her knees, and with two sex toys rammed into her and vibrating, and she was also raped, her gem artifact in the corner and left alone covered by a cloth. Lincoln and Luna go over and help her.

The others show up and also help them, but this confuses and horrifies Blitz and Verosika. 'What the fucking hell is going on? How did he manage to get away and leave this mess?!'

"To be continued in the next chapter folks!"
