Qean eagerly hurried to the exit to see Linkage. Once she press the door to open, shouting "Linkage?!" a bucket of green paint fell over her head.
SPLAT
The green paint spilled onto her hair, which caught many students attention. They all look at her as they start to laugh, pulling out their phones to take pictures of this.
"W-Wha?" Quean lifted the paint bucket.
"Hahaha got you!"
Quean turn to Lori who having a smug face, meaning she cause of this. She and people calling her a freak making her tears up, she ran away from students as fast she can.
Flashbacks end...
Quean lost her thought of certain splash on to her cheek. He see one teen got a spoon that spinach on it.
"Ooh sorry, I sorry that my spinach not same color as your hair." he spoke
Quean gets angry unnoticed that her beauty mark glowing pink energy. "I show you...you...men!"
Quean touch the spinach as well her mark, swipe the food away as noticed her that a pink energy to the ground of teens includes her mother.
"Huh?" Quean said sees her beauty mark glowing in pink light. "Did I do that...means...I...I...I...I'm a Metax as well."
"I love your beauty..." they said with hearts in their eyes.
Quean felt flattered by the comment, she turn to her mom who also share the loving smile. "Is there anything you'd like, honey?" she asked.
Quean looks around and noticed everyone stopped to look at her with the same loving expressions. She even see some students from her school and other schools giving her the same expressions.
"Well, a good fix on my hair and some good wardrobing would be good." she said, then suddenly everyone scattered.
"Out of my way! We gotta give her new clothes!"
"Need to find good shampoo!"
"Hair dye! She needs hair dye!"
Quean see one man pull her a fancy chair, as she sits on it making her smiled. "Hm...I love being treaty nice again...but I still wanted that girl suffered...JOCKS!"
Suddenly group of jocks wearing a jerseys, blue jeans, and white sneakers. They goes her as bow to her like a queen.
"Yes maim!" jocks shout in union
"Finds Lori Loud and bring her to me...I wanted to have a word with her." Quean ordered as soon the jocks run out.
Royal Woods' Park
"Are you sure about this, babe?" Bobby asked, as he's for some reason dressed in a purple flight suit and a purple hat with red gloves.
"I'm positive, Boo-Boo Bear." Lori replied while holding on some rope, giving it to her boyfriend. They're the park as Lori told him "Once Linkage flies over and saves me from danger, I take a picture with him and I get more likes than Carol!"
"What if he kinda...you know...beat me up?" Bobby question in fear.
"Don't be like that, just pretend to fall down knock out." Lori replied as open up her arms. "Now tie me up."
Far away from the park like up in the hill happens to be Lincoln and Leni. Lincoln seem to having bored look and Leni having worried face.
"So Lori wanted to get photo of Linkage?" Lincoln asked
"Yeah, she's, like, wanted to be best of beating Carol so she set up a plan for Linkage lured to her." Leni said makes Lincoln laughed. "What's so funny?"
"Leni, that's not how works for Linkage." Lincoln said makes her confused. "From what I heard, Linkage can only sense Metax energy where ever it's cloes to him. To Bobby there's three problems. One, he's got no Metax energy, two, Linkage has already saved him from what I've heard, and three, Bobby is dressed like a cartoon villain."
"Really? I guess that does make sense." Leni replied, sort of understanding what Lincoln meant.
"Oh, come on, Bobby! At least make it look convincing!" Lori told him while Bobby wraps the rope around her by the tree.
"Sorry, babe, but I don't want to give you rope burn." Bobby replied, as a passing jogger just looks at them weirdly as he run off.
"Well you don't have to pull them too tight." Lori assures him.
Few minutes, Lincoln and Leni sits on the ground while licking their ice cream cone to entertain of the action going on.
"Your right, this kinda funny...heh heh." Leni giggled licked her ice cream.
"Welcome to my world." Lincoln said felt a rumbling on the ground. "Do you feel that, it kinda felt like a marching."
Leni noticed a bunch of jocks marching down the park, "Maybe it's those jocks? Must be practicing for football."
Lincoln noticed the jocks marching down, surrounding Lori and Bobby for some reason. He also noticed all of their eyes looking...pink.
"Uh, can we, literally help you?" Lori asked with a raised brow.
"Our Queen wants to speak to you, Lori Loud." spoke one jock.
"Either you come with us or we'll have to take ya to our Queen." another respond.
"What do you mean by that? We not cause any tro-" Bobby said didn't what happened next.
One jock sucker punch Bobby as the Latina young man knock out by the blow. Lori shocked about this and two jocks grabbed the ropes of hers, tie the girl up as taking her away.
"Get your hands off me!" Lori shout as said that always in scare. "Help!"
The jocks take Lori away from the park, Lincoln and Leni came to the tree. Seeing Bobby total knock out from the punch, Lincoln looks down to see Lori's phone and pick it up.
"What's going on Linky?" Leni asked in worried. "I-Is Lori really in danger."
"Pretty much, but don't worry about it because Linkage gonna saved her." Lincoln said as turn to Leni. "Leni, take Bobby home."
Leni see Lincoln running off. "Where you going Linky?"
"Gonna get it back to Lori, she be mad when it's gone!" Lincoln called out
Lincoln look around means close is clear, he goes behind a tree and transform into Linkage as flew off. "First of where they taking Lori."
Linkage follows the flock of jocks carrying Lori to the mall. This confused him more as he flew and hid himself once they entered. Lincoln sneaks in and saw what's going on in the mall.
A lot of people have gathered around with many gifts in shopping bags. 'What is going on here?' Linkage thought.
"Our Queen! We got Lori Loud for you!" spoke the jocks, as the people in the mall move away for them to go through.
Lori seem to throw to the ground, as see the throne chair of certain girl that shocked her. "No way..."
It's was Qean, who hair is now brown again ponytail with pink lines. Wearing a light pink dress with deep red lines that goes to her chest that has a big red heart, having white short gloves and short boots. She seem having short red lines form hearts on her cheeks.
"Well...well...it's little witch...or I say the first B word at the front." Qean said with a glare.
"Qean?" Lori said in shock, "What is, literally, going on here!?"
"Don't you get it, Lori, this is your trial among your peers, as you are guilty for the atrocities you've acted upon me!" Qean said as she points to a group of teenagers, acting as the jury.
"Huh...what do you mean?" Lori asked in nervous.
Qean pound her fist on the throne. "Don't try play innocent, you know what happened. You ruin my life spill that paint can on me and lost the respect from me! I stay in my room whole time because I can't go out without laughing at me! All I ever wanted to me the great Linkage in person but you prank me!"
Lori gets on her knees. "I-I sorry, I just jealous of you because you having so much subscribes and likes then everyone in school."
Qean simply turn to jury. "You have to say worthy juries?"
One nerdy teenager adjusted his glasses and spoke "Lori Loud's reasons for her crimes against our queen is considered, to be honest, petty and trivial."
"Hey! It's not that petty!" Lori argued.
"Going after someone who has more popularity than you is basically the definition of being a sore loser." the nerd countered. "For Lori's crimes against our queen, she is sentenced for any punishment the queen will put her through."
"And that punishment, have Lori tarred and feathered!" Qean declares much to Lori's shock.
"Are you nuts!?" Lori shouts.
"Hmm, perhaps you're right. Well, how about dumping paint on your hair instead!" Qean declares.
Lori tried to back away and speak. "I...I...I..."
"Much of that be funny, but I don't that to a person."
Everyone look up and see Linkage floating above them while crossing his arms and smiled down on them.
"No way it's..." Lori said interrupt by Qean.
"Linkage." Qean whispered
Linkage floats down to the floor. "I heard all of it and say-"
"EHHHHHHH!"
Linkage suddenly tackled to the ground much Lori's surprise. Linkage on the ground as see Qean top of him with a big smiled.
"I can't believe I meet you...the Linkage, protector of Royal Woods! I'm your biggest fan ever!" Qean shout
"Okay..." Linkage said, not even knowing how to respond to that. "But I-"
"Oh man, you'll be perfect for my blog! Once I get my social status up, I'll get many followers!" Qean declares.
"Would you mind tell me why this girl tie up in the middle? Linkage asked pointed his thumb at Lori.
Qean glare at her. "That witch name Lori Loud ruin my life and blog because I popular then her. She pour green paint on my hair, so return I gonna put tar and fathers on her."
"Whoa whoa whoa." Linkage said as he stands up. "You can't do that to her."
"Why not, she make everyone laugh at me!" Qean shout angrily
"Getting revenge won't change it, you make people fear you." Linkage said as gets idea. "I can help you make people respect but..."
Qean confused at this. "But what?"
Linkage crosses his arms and spoke. "You will free Lori, bring the people back to the senses, and put everything back to normal."
"But I the attention." Qean said in sadden.
"There's ways getting attention by the fans. You can more then control people?"
"W-Well...I can use my energy form pink energy wings and bow, making energy arrows." Qean said
Linkage snapped his fingers. "I gotta idea, why not become a hero blogger...you saved the day while filming, you can get maybe thousands no millions of fans."
Quean smiled at that idea. "You right, thank you Linkage for giving me this idea! I gonna start repairing this place right now...this forward Beauty Mark will be a true kind hero."
Quean walked away as goes to the people, Lori was relive. "Thank you Linkage for-"
She stop by Linkage glare at her, he goes to her and cut off the rope by using his heat beam.
"You and I gonna have a talk." Linkage said
Royal Woods' Mall Entrance
After a long fix up and blog video, Qean as called Beauty Mark finally got her blog back and being new hero path. Now Linkage are outside with Lori who sits on a bench while the boy floating while his arms cross.
"So you get all this situation just me a photo with you?" Linkage question
"Well, yeah! You're so popular around town and getting everyone photos of you that I couldn't help but try to get more likes!" Lori said.
Linkage pinch the bridge of his nose as he says "Look, just because I save a lot of people, I don't do it for fame. I did it because it's the right thing to do and it's self-rewarding. You should be ashamed of yourself for what you did to that girl just because she has more likes and subscribers than you."
Lori shunned her head. "I know what did was wrong and I feel sorry, it's just my blog is my life."
Linkage rises his eyebrow. "Your blog is important in your life, do you have a family?"
"Yeah I do have a family and loved them but sometimes they're annoying especially my little brother Lincoln of what he did today." Lori said in annoying.
Linkage got his angry in control and speak calmly. "Just what your brother Lincoln did?"
"Well he got in my room, which middle talking my boyfriend. He's in the bathroom long time so I throw him out, I accidentally steps on his video game goggles so I have spent some cash to get him a new one." Lori said in annoying.
Linkage look at her deadpan. "Did he walked in your room on purpose?"
"Of course-" Lori said until she's realize she made a mistake. "He got in by accidently of playing his game."
"You really have to throw him out of the bathroom instead of waiting for your turn?" Linkage asked
"No..." Lori answered feel more guilty.
"I asked you this question...do you really feel ashamed smash your brother's game goggles?" Linkage asked
"Oh man..." Lori said rubbing her arm.
"Listen here Lori Loud...you have your blog that makes you happy, but you also have your family. You grew up with them, and they loved you back, you can't let some likes in a app to be your blocking of your family's times together. You like what 17 or 16, you be out here in the real world and busy spent your remaining times in the house in your phone. You need to have great time with each ever one of them, until you're time being young lady...do you understand?"
Lori looks down in shame as she replied "Yes, I guess all of this is a wake up call. I see it now, what I did was wrong. Thank you, Linkage for making me realized that."
"No problem. Just helping what I do." Linkage respond.
"Lori!" shout Leni as she makes it to the mall, after running for so long. "Ive...finally...found you! Got...your phone!"
"Actually I got it." Linkage said as he pull it out. "Your brother wanted give it to you since I a good track down people. Lori Loud, since you know the error of your ways...I wanted to take a photo with you."
"Really?!" Lori asked with big smile. "Thank you!"
Leni raises her hand as jumping. "Ohh...Ohh...Ohhh! Can I be in picture too?"
Linkage smiled at her. "Of course, the more the merrier!"
And so, Linkage took the picture with Lori and Leni from the phone. Unknown to them, they are being watched by a bug, a bug that's mechanic and has a camera lens.
