Welcome back my friends come as we continue our deep dive into this odd future Lincoln has found himself in.

Lincoln gave a deep snarl from seeing Rusty's smirking face.

"Awww why the angry look pal? I thought you'd be happy to see an old face" he sneered.

"...After what you and Others did? NEVER!" Lincoln roared as he soon found himself bound by chains and forced onto his chest.

"That's it boys make sure he can't escape!" Rusty smirked as he pulled out a familiar looking flintlock pistol making Lincoln gasp.

"That….that's Blitzo's gun!"

Hearing this made Rusty shake his head. "Correction, it WAS his gun! I got this bad boy when that old codger fell in battle pity he was the first casualty of the war but hey can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs" he shrugged as Lincoln pulled against his restraints and roared in his face.

"YOU BASTARD! I"LL MAKE YOU SUFFER!" Rusty however unfazed and aimed the gun to Lincoln's face.

"Yeah…..no you won't'' Rusty spoke as he pulled the trigger.

BANG!

*elsewhere*

Lincoln gave a tired groan as he slowly opened his eyes and sat up a sharp pain shooting through his head as he touched the wound Rusty had left in his head.

"...Ugh….I feel like shit….where the fuck am I?" He groaned as he noticed he was inside a dark room that led to a massive hallway as he tried to stand up only to find his legs were attached to a ball and chain rolling his eyes. Lincoln picked up the chain and slung it over his shoulders as he started to trudge through the darkness.

'Stupid ball and chain!" Lincoln growled in his thoughts as he tried to bite through the chain only to fail at breaking it however he was soon brought out of his thoughts when he heard something.

"AAAAAAAAAHH!" a loud voice screamed in pain as Lincoln quickly followed the sounds until he came across a small clearing and saw three imps whipping a small Imp girl with shoulder length blonde hair mounted to the wall with a bladed whip.

"...p….p..please! I…I dont know anything!" she cried as she whipped across the face making her scream and cry out in pain.

"Shut up you little bitch! The boss gave us orders to make sure all of you spilt the beans on that grimoire!" one the imps said as the small girl cried tears of blood due the whip hitting her eyes.

"But I dont have it! I dont even know what a Grimoire is!" she sobbed as the Imp raised the whip again only for lincoln to grab it.

"Leave the girl alone!" he snarled as he pulled the imp towards him and he bit off his head before quickly grabbing the second imp and ripping out his spine the third Imp tried to make a run for it only to drop his keys when Lincoln used the ball and chain to smash his head in killing him instantly.

"Are you okay?" Lincoln asked softly as he cut her free and gently caught her as she fell.

"Y…yeah…I….I'm..f…fine…and…." She stopped herself from speaking as she stared at Lincoln before she gave a smile and started to cry, confusing him as she hugged him tight.

"Whoa hold on…who are you?" he asked as she looked at him and smiled.

"L…..L…Lincy!..." she sobbed as lincoln narrowed his eyes as he stared into her blue eyes and started to feel himself cry.

"...Lily?"

Lily has been found and she's an imp now...only question is?...are she and Lincoln the only two louds left? and who these...OTHERS the Imp stooges mentioned earlier? and what exactly happened during this so called war Rusty brought up? all I'll say is this...most of but not all of these answers will be given in episode 3
