Chapter 8: Class Reunion
Lincoln seems to be walking home, he is relieved. "Finally, a day get home at nine o'clock without problems."
Suddenly his eyes glow in blue light, he's hearing screeching. He dodges a mailbox that's hit the ground, he sees a big bird made of darkness screeching at him.
"Or just be a little late," Lincoln said with a glare as transformed into Linkage. "Come at me bird brain!"
The bird charge at Linkage who is up in the air, and he begins to soar while the bird chases him. Linkage shoots the bird, but the bird restores quickly. Linkage growling, he quickly hides the side of the building, the bird flies to the, only to see Linkage who pulls out both of his hands together.
"Light Show!" Linkage called out as a big red light showed, making the bird screech its vanish. "That's relieved."
At nighttime, we see Linkage show flying in the sky while having a smile. "Oh yeah, loved these flying powers it's getting home on time."
Linkage landed safely on the ground as he transforms back to Lincoln. Lincoln walked to the front door and open it to see Lynn Sr and Rita including the sisters in the living room. They turn to him with a questioning look on their faces but the parents are glaring.
"Is something matter?" Lincoln asked confused.
"Lincoln is past nine," Lori said
Lincoln looks at his watch, seeing 9:05. 'Dang it, I shouldn't have stopped that darkness bird and kept on going.'
"Sweetie...we need to talk," Rita said
15 minutes later...
Lincoln sits on the couch while Lynn Sr and Rita standing close to him while the sisters sitting on the stairs or dining room.
"Lincoln this becoming a problem. You always last to come back in the house at night, you are always in a hurry before we chance to have family activities, and seem to relax in your room when coming back until dinner." Rita said
"You always first finished your chores, as a few seconds. That scares me even from me watching a scary movie." Lynn Sr said
"That strikes my mistake, I kinda selfish of me...than Linkage shows up and gives from that garbage monster and up the house," Lincoln replied with a smile.
"That kinda nice of him," Leni responds as the sisters agree.
"Look, I been watching myself carefully. The Metax attacks really startled me to be in front of them. You guy don't no idea what it is like to be a kid today." Lincoln said it as held up his hand to his younger sisters. "Not you guys."
"Yeah/it's cool." Younger ones replied
"Now Lincoln, I know this Metax appearing is dangerous. But this not happened to stop you from coming home." Rita states I bet on it that."
"Yeah, I bet on it that," Lincoln replied as sadden.
"Mother unit...Father unit...perhaps the reason Lincoln acts this way is you never told us about your life before you two met each other or after like you guys start dating. Like in how's your date go well or even finish college." Lisa said while reading her book.
"Lisa...how many times I tell you don't drag your mouth into this," Lincoln muttered
"You know Lisa, you may be on to this." Lynn Sr said as Rita, Lincoln, and the daughters look at him.
"Really?" The sister's question
"What you talking about?" Rita asked
Lynn Sr goes to the drawer and pulls out a flyer of paper that says '20 year Class Reunion'. "Lincoln, you come with me and your mother to our 20-year class reunion."
"What?!" Lincoln shouts in shock, "Couldn't you just grounded me?"
"Well we would, but in order to get close to you kids around, maybe you'll see what it's like for us at our college days." Rita states.
"Then why can't they come?" Lincoln points at his sisters.
"They staying in with Pop-Pop and Aunt Ruth, they babysit them while we are away. My old friend John gave me a job being the class reunion chef that gives me lots of money." Lynn Sr
"And we talked about childhood and quality time with us, it's sound and great," Rita states with a smile.
"Oh come on, just grounded," Lincoln said in pain.
"That's just great..."
At the truck stop restaurant, Vanzilla getting having a little breakdown. Rita and Lynn Sr check on it while Lincoln sitting on the grass with a pouting look.
Rita called out to Lincoln. "Sorry Sweetie, we are here a little while."
Lincoln sigh. "I can't believe one little late curfew makes this trip worst."
*Honk...Honk*
Lincoln sees a big white and brown futuristic truck RV with a familiar symbol blue icon on the side. Parked in the driveway of the restaurant.
'Wait...that symbol is Scan Lab...so that means...' Lincoln thought to see a familiar girl step out of the RV. "Sarah?!"
Sarah seems to be wearing a blue shirt, blue jeans tights to her figure, and black slippers. She sees Lincoln and is surprised by what she sees. "Lincoln?"
Lincoln goes to her. "What you doing out here, my parents wanted to go to their college class reunion...I gotta late curfew."
"Be honest we going to the class reunion as well, my dad used to be a professor there in that college. We parked here just for a stretched out." Sarah said
"Well me and parents kinda stuck since our family van broke down again," Lincoln replied in deadpan.
"You know we got lots of spare spaces, why not just join our travel. We can hook your van to us, carry it." Sarah said
"That's a great idea, I'll go talk to my folks about it," Lincoln told her as he ran towards them.
"Wow, thanks for helping us out, Dr. Atoms." Lynn Sr said as he, Rita, and Lincoln are at the table of the luxurious inside of the RV.
"No problem, but call me Scan." Dr. Atoms respond while he and Sarah sit upfront.
"I'm surprised that you taught at the same college I and Lynn went to." Rita comments, "We even got an invitation from John."
"John? Aw yes, I remembered him. He was one of my students." Dr. Atoms respond, "He was a real prodigy, that Teherby boy was."
"Thereby? Wait, you mean he's related to Mr. Teherby?" Lincoln asked.
"He's Mr. Teherby's grandson." Lynn Sr states, "Though we never got in touch since then."
"From what I've heard, he has gone through an accident of some kind." Scan replied.
"Really, what happened?" Lincoln asked in interest.
"Well me and other scientists building a prototype energy collect chamber with meteorite energy. But something went wrong Master Teherby turns it on. John got hits with energy as makes which kill his social life. No one ever saw him, homeschool his whole life, becoming a businessman like his grandfather." Scan told
Lincoln remembers he bumps into him as a mistake gives his ID card and goes to the chamber. 'If wasn't for him I wouldn't have turned into Linkage. Could he...no, impossible, he didn't hit getting big wave like the town.'
Later on, the Louds and the Atoms have made it to the place of the reunion. It is a big old mansion that looks more like a castle. Lincoln is surprised that someone has been living in a place like this.
"Wow, I didn't know there were castles in this part of Michigan." Lincoln comments.
"The Teherbys are so rich, they've built their own homes like a castle back in the older years." Sarah states.
"I'll give a knock." Lynn Sr said as he knocks on the door "'hello, Johnny! Yer old' pals are 'here!" he said in his broken England accent.
"Um, is your dad alright, Lincoln?" Sarah asked him.
"Dad stated that he went to London while abroad," Lincoln respond.
"And practice weeks doing it when in our room," Rita said feeling a little embarrassed.
The doors open as seeing John with his normal black business suit attire smiled at Lynn Sr.
"Senior, my good old friend," John said as both shook hands.
"You know my wife Rita, we got married after we graduated from college." Lynn Sr replied as she and Lincoln got to the steps. "This boy is our son Lincoln Loud."
John looks at Lincoln, his eyes narrowed which made Lincoln confused. "Nice to meet you, young man," he said coldly, while Lincoln felt a chill running down his spine. He then saw the Atoms that caught his eye, "Dr. Scan Atoms, nice to meet you."
"Likewise, Johnny-boy." Scan replied shaking his former protege his hand, "And you know of my daughter, Sarah."
"Ah yes, when I last saw you, you were just around this boy's age." John said while patting Sarah's head, smiling at her "You've grown so much."
"Thank you, Mr. Teherby," she said, weirded out by this affectionate behavior.
"Please, call me John." he said while letting go of her head, "All of you can call me John. Being called "Mr. Teherby" just makes me sound old. Now come inside and I'll have my butler-bot show you the rooms."
"Butler-what?" Lincoln asked
They see a robot blue and white female robot that really similar to future cartoons show that from the 90s. The robot takes their bags and speaks.
"Great to meet you all, please follow me to your rooms and feel welcome," Butler-Bot said
While Rita and Lynn Sr got their own room to share, Scan got his own room and so does Sarah, of course, got his own, much of with relief. Lynn Sr was busy cooking for the party while the others; Scan and Lincoln have fun in the indoor pool, while Rita and Sarah enjoyed the spa. The boy seems curious about John, he's always getting cold treatment him he's exam him somehow.
At nighttime, in the dining room, everyone had dinner, Lincoln with his parents, Sarah with Scan, and John sit on his master chair like a throne.
"Wow, John, this food fancier," Rita said looking at the food.
"I always wanted fancy food in my place," John replied eating his pork chop. "So Rita, Senior, what does your son do in his free time?"
Lincoln and the Atoms alarmed by John's question, Lynn Sr spoke. "Well...out of the house, the summer vacation started, all the time...at home, he just playing video games and sleeping in the room."
"I see...you needed to step up on his life you two, true daughters go good son be a man one day in the real world...look at me, my grandfather teaches me to be a businessman and I turn out to be successful."
"You know a good point, John, we should get Lincoln a new way to get activities that can help with his life." Lynn Sr replied
"Oh okay, I'm done here...thank you, John, for ruining my life," Lincoln muttered walking out the room.
'Maybe I should-' Sarah thought interrupted by John.
"Sarah, you became a scientist...why not work for me, my grandmother giving me his company. I can make you a very rich girl, " John said with a charming smile.
Sarah smiles a little awkwardly. "Thank you, John, but I work with my father whom I am proud and love."
John's eye twitching, he only smiles. "I understand."
Right now is nighttime as everyone is asleep until Lincoln wakes up from his slumber by his sense.
"Oh that's just great, a Metax in the house," Lincoln said transforming into Linkage.
Linkage puts on his goggles and puts on his Sense Vision and sees his mom sleeping in her bed, and so does Sarah, Scan seems going to the bathroom. Lynn Sr is in the kitchen, helping the other chefs cook the food for the reunion. He sees one big black bird, going after Scan.
"Well, time for." Linkage said as do a stretched. "Speed!"
Linkage runs fast as he goes after the bird, he grabbed it Scan opens the bathroom.
Linkage brings the bird to a big hallway and throws front of him. "Sup man...miss me?"
The bird looks at him until he looks behind him. "EEEHHH!" He disappears in thin air.
"I'm the control the bird, child."
Linkage turns to see a man who has gray skin, red eyes, and bloody red hair. A black armory bodysuit with a gray diamond at the chest, black arms gloves, and boots with gray lines. Having black metal his mouth part is a free, grayish long shredded cape.
"Oh whatever, I got that bird, but you have to do." Linkage said
Linkage charged at the stranger, as he sends a powerful red beam at him. However, the armored man deflected the beam with his black beam.
"What?!" Linkage said in shock.
"You think you can beat me, child?" he said.
Linkage charged at him with a punch, but he grabbed Linkages with small effort. He throws Linkage to the wall and breaks it, which makes the boy hurt.
"My bird supposed to bring that scientist for me, you also worthy." He said as smirked. "Linkage...if I correct?"
Linkage shocked. "You know me?"
"You're quite popular around here. Royal Wood's hero, the Boy of Tomorrow, even one blogger states that you're the hero of a new generation," he states while shooting his black beams at Linkage.
Linkage dodges the beam but it turns to hit him. "Ow! What kind of Metax are you!?"
"The more experienced kin," he told him while projecting a black hammer with spikes. "I could teach you many ways of using your powers to their full potential. I can teach you what I've learned over the years, better than that pesky scientist would."
Linkage anger at him. "Leave him out of this, he's doing well help me-"
The man chuckled at the boy. "So...Boy of Tomorrow, tell me you ever do this?"
The man suddenly appears over five darkness themselves with white eyes. This shocked Linkage as getting surrounded by the man's dark figures.
"What kind of Metax are you?" He asked.
The man and his dark clones respond "I am the most powerful Metax you've ever faced, boy." they all aim for Linkage, shooting their multiple beams at him.
"AHHHH!" Linkage scream completely feeling electricity all over his body.
As soon as each one is of clones and begins beating Linkage severally getting bleeding lips and shredded clothes.
*POW*
The man uppercuts Linkage to the wall and crashes into it, and the poor hero falls down to the ground. He's passed out as his ring reappears, transforms back into Lincoln.
The man chuckled as the clones disappear, the man landing in front of Lincoln. "The famous Linkage is Lynn and Rita's son."
The man suddenly has to appear a ring-like Lincoln but completely black and transform into...John! "Just I thought."
"Get away from me...get away from me!"
Lincoln opens his eyes and realized he was back in his guest room and completely healed. " Whoa, what just happened?"
"You seem to have a nightmare."
Lincoln sees John coming in with a smile on his face. "Sorry...I guess I been a little headache from the long trip."
"Oh yes, a lot would have that kind of headache at a young age," John said as added. "And be prepared for the reunion party. Your dad wants me to let you know that he'll be preparing the food for the catering and he's gonna need someone to serve the guests."
"Right, I almost forgot the reason why I'm here," Lincoln responded as he gets up.
"From what I can tell, you don't like coming here." John comment.
"Well, it's more like a punishment, really. I got home late and rather than just grounded me in my room, my parents brought me here to their reunion while my ten sisters get to stay home." Lincoln states.
"Ah, big family. I know what that's like." John replied as Lincoln is shocked.
"You used to live in a big family?" Lincoln asked.
"Why do you think I live in a castle?" John told him, "About five brothers and two sisters, our parents, five uncles and four aunts, 16 cousins, and two sets of grandparents, all living up under one roof. We used to be a good family, well that is until they all died mysteriously, I and grandfather are the only ones." he looks around the room while Lincoln gives a shocked look, "You know, this is the very room where my Uncle Florence died of a heart attack. From that very bed until he fell onto that side of the floor where you're standing, and just crawled to the door until he croaks."
Lincoln lost his color. "O-Oh really, that's s-shame. S-Sorry for your loss."
John only smiled at him. "If you know what you do in life to survive on your own...you need the opportunity to, get it, young man. Now get ready, you're father is waiting for you."
leaves the room as closes the door, he smiled with a devilish smirk. "Yes, be ready...Hehehe."
Tonight is the night of the class reunion, and many people speak either friends or professors. Most students greet Scan, he's mostly like the father figure towards his students and they love him it seems to talk to her in college friends right now. Rita meanwhile talks to her friends in a pink dress and white heels, Lynn Sr in a chef outfit helping people serve their food. Lincoln is serving dishes small dish to people while getting little comments from ladies.
"Aw thank you, little man."
"You so cute and adorable for getting us food."
"You look so handsome in that suit!"
'I swear if I get baby comment again, I'm gonna puke.' Lincoln thought in deadpan.
"So, they gave you free child labor?"
Lincoln noticed the girl talking to him who was about his age. She's got long black hair with a pink headband, blue eyes, and fair skin. She wears a pink shirt with a white skirt and white boots.
'Finally, someone around my age.' Lincoln thought, "Actually, this is more of a family business thing. I just work at catering."
"So you're a servant then?" She asked making Lincoln look deadpan, "Well since you're the only kid around here I guess I could socialize with someone within my age. Even if they're of completely different social statuses. Trixie Tang, from Dimmsdale."
"Lincoln Loud, from Royal Woods." Lincoln greets himself. "So let me guess, your folks here for the reunion as well?"
"Yeah, I'm forced to go to this reunion cause my parents meet their professors. I got in trouble due to being up so late." Trixie said
"Welcome to my world, I force you to come here as well. I got home late again, instead of grounding myself. My parents wanted me to go to their class reunion, being their servants." Lincoln replied as his tray got taken by a fat man.
"Guess we got parents to force us to go places huh?" Trixie asked as both laughed.
Suddenly the slow music came on as adults get their lovers and do their slow dance. Lincoln and Trixie look at each other and blushes deeply.
"So..." Lincoln said as pull out his hand. "Wanna dance with me?"
Trixie thought of the moment, as she shrugs "Oh what the heck, there's no harm in that." she said, "But hands on the shoulders, got it, buster?"
"Y-Yeah," Lincoln replied as he and Trixie start to dance.
Sarah stands by the punch bowl, wearing the short red dress that shows her back, and the skirt reaches to her thighs, and wears brown stockings and black heels. She watches her dad dancing with one of the professors who taught liberal studies.
"Sigh, guess I'm going Dutch, again." Sarah comment to herself as she sees Lincoln dancing with a girl, "Least he's having fun."
"Need a partner, Ms. Atoms?" spoke John as he walks towards her, holding his own fruit punch.
"Um, I think I'm good." Sarah replied kindly, "I'm fine not dancing."
"Oh come now Sarah, you say in the blog that you are great at dancing," John said makes Sarah surprised.
'How's he know I'm got a blog, he creeping me out.' Sarah thought to try to think way out of this. "Sorry I think I gotta go."
John touches her shoulder making her flinch. "But I just wanna talk to you."
Sarah gets nervous here. "I...I."
"There's a problem here?"
They see a grown young man in a black suit with a green tie, he seems to have suspicious look.
John let go of her. "Nothing, I just wanna talk but she going to the lady's room. I needed some time alone if you two mind.
Sarah sees John walking away making her relax, she turns to a young man. "Thanks for that...you finally came"
"No problem, I was a little late due stop a crisis." the young man said with a smile
"Well, you do seem to be the type." Sarah comments, seeing the young man known last year, "Maybe you can hang with me?"
"Sure, I can talk, been while to talk about" he replied while getting his own punch.
From afar, John narrows his eyes on the two, while turning to Lincoln. He has so much focus to do as he goes to confront him.
Tapping on his shoulder, Lincoln looks up at the man who told him, "Lincoln, I need your assistance. There's a gift that I need you to get for Scan."
"Okay..." Lincoln said look at Trixie. "Sorry Trixie, duty calls."
"It's fine, come back if you get the chance," Trixie replied pointing his nose to make him blush.
Lincoln walked away and so does Trixie, John look at Scan with a glare. 'You and that others almost cause my life, but this night is gonna change.'
Right before asked where it is, it was in the old lab. Lincoln made it and seeing no gift in sight, he walked to the table.
"Why go to the lab, I don't see any gift?" Lincoln's question is as sees a picture of Lord Teherby and the scientists including Scan, in the background is a prototype energy chamber. "That picture of that acc-"
Lincoln sees a flashlight but it's a purple light bulb. "A U.V. flashlight?"
Lincoln turns it on and sees purple light as shown in the photograph, shocked by its light marking of X on two one scientist and Lord Thereby. "Oh, no...he didn't..."
Lincoln's eyes flash blue of two Metax close by, he transforms into Linkage and gets ready. "Where are those-"
Suddenly Linkage suddenly got tangled up by an armor-like Octo tentacle as he lifted up. he's turned his head and is shocked to see Octo Man and Robo-Geek.
"Octo Man...Robo-Geek?" Linkage question in shock.
"Stop calling me that!" Robo-Geek cries out, "Dang the media for that." he muttered.
"Missus, you brat?" Octo Man question while smirking
Linkage begins to twirl around at a fast speed making Octo Man twirl with him until Octo Man sends flying to Robo-Geek as both hit the wall.
"How you two get out of prison...why you here for?!" Linkage asked angrily
"We got a little early bail, thanks to our benefactor." Octo Man states.
"Yeah, our boss was generous to let us go just to get you back., Robo-Geek adds.
"Don't tell him about the boss, Geek!" Octo Man scolds him.
However, the two didn't realize that they'd been hit in the head by red beams by Linkage, knocking them out.
"Now to find the boss of this place." Linkage said.
"Oh, but you already did."
Suddenly, a tube pops up from below Linkage's feet, and it traps him with another tube from above. Linkage tries to blast it out of there, but he couldn't get out "What's going on here!?"
"You boy..." appearing out of the shadows, is John himself "Has fallen to my trap."
"John!?" Linkage shouts in shock.
"Yes, or you may know me as..." John has two black rings appear around his waist, as they split apart to reveal the same man that Linkage fought, "Metaxist."
"Y-You're the guy from last night!" Linkage shouts.
"And you're Linkage, or should I say, Lincoln Loud." Metaxist replied which shocks Linkage, "Yes, I know all about you, Lincoln. An average boy with no talent of his own, growing up with ten sisters with their own skills and talents. The middle child of all that. I knew that my plans went accordingly, when I sent that invitation to the college reunion to your parents, sending out my darkness bird to get you into trouble, and the rest is played out on my part."
"So the reason I got into trouble was because of you?!" Linkage told him.
"I wasn't considering inviting them at first, but after discovering that their son is a Metax himself and the reason why Scan is so interested in the boy, it's not so hard in connecting the dots." John told him as his face changed in look, "Scan Atoms ruined my life! He took away my social life because of that dang experiment along with those other scientists and my bumbling fool of a grandfather!"
"He feels sorry for you after what he did, he's wanted to apologize to you. He loved you as son like other students, your he's best of students!" Linkage shout
"Then he shouldn't have to go along that experiment, he should have stopped if he has the chance. Like my fool grandfather used the same experiment project, so I wanted the people to feel what I feel." Metaxis said
Linkage is heavily shocked at the last part. "What?"
Metaxist only turns to him with a small glare. "Don't you think a lightning strike that places exactly the same place of that huge chamber?"
Linkage getting so angry. "IT WAS YOU! YOU CAUSE THAT BIG WAVE...YOU CAUSE THOSE METAX TO APPEAR AND CAUSE THOSE PEOPLE'S DEATHS! FOR WHAT?"
Metaxist only raises his hand and makes a black ball. "Power."
Linkage confused what he said. "What?"
Metaxist makes his ball go big. "It all comes down to power. They were weak, I gave those people power but they were so weak that ended their lives...and that weakness got them killed. This world...it's not suited for the weak. Unlike you..."
Linkage glares at him. "What do you mean-"
Metaxist walked around Linkage taunting him. "You...in the chamber it's explosive, you should have died...gone from this world, no...you survived, becoming most powerful Metax of them all but only uses for being this little town hero."
Linkage gets angry as his hands get red energy all over his fists, he hits the glass "GET...ME...OUTTA HERE!"
Metaxist would look out at the party, as he told Linkage "You'll be staying here for a while, while I terrorize the people around and make Scan suffer just the way I have. By taking his daughter away!"
Linkage is shocked, as he bangs the glass "Leave Sarah out of this!"
Metaxist ignores him, as he changes back to John, "If it's any consolation, your parents will be safe from the chaos along with anyone else. It's Scans that I'm after." he said as he walks back to the party, leaving Linkage in the tube.
"I gotta find a way out of here, but what?" Linkage asks himself, as he bangs on the glass, "Help!"
John march over around the party, as he confronts Lynn Sr "Lynn, just want to let you know that Lincoln isn't feeling well. Something about a stomach ache."
"Oh, well if he's not feeling well, then who-"
"My Robo-Butler will help," John told him as the Robo-Butler roles over to pick up the trays to hand out to the guests.
"Gee, thanks, pal!" Lynn Sr told him, as John walks away without responding.
John looks around and saw Sarah talking to that boy. His eyes narrowed as he turns to Scans, who was talking to his old acquaintances. 'Time for this party to really start.' he thought as he hid in the shadows, and presses a button as the lights are out.
"What's going on!?"
"Why are all the lights out?!"
"Strange didn't know the guy had trouble with the light bill." the guy said to Sarah.
"I highly doubt it," Sarah said worriedly, trying to find her dad. However, Metaxists snuck up behind her, grabbing her from the lower part of her dress and pulling her to him "EEK!" she cries out, being dragged into the darkness.
"Sarah?" the guy question
In minute later, the lights came back as soon as everyone begins to see Metaxist floating above them. While Sarah is trapped in the arms of Metaxist around her neck, while she kicks around.
"Daddy!" Sarah shouts in scare.
"Sarah!" Scan shout as glares at Metaxist. "Who are you?! Let my daughter go!"
"I am your greatest mistake, Dr. Scan Atoms!" Metaxist declares as many dark birds forms around him, "I shall unleash my dark army onto you and make you suffer the way I have! My dark army, attack!" he declares, as his dark monsters go around, wrecking the party while attacking the objects while the guests run away.
"Honey, there's a crazy Metax here!" Lynn Sr told him.
"We gotta get out of here and find Lincoln!" Rita replied, as suddenly Robo-Butler popped up.
"Not to worry, Master John has a safe room for you two," Robo-Butler said, as its mechanical arms grabs Lynn Sr and Rita over its shoulders while rolling down to the safe bunker.
Linkage kept pounding his fists on the glass out of tired. "John...you...good for nothing...son of a-"
Linkage sees the door and sees no one but a glowing energy orb. Linkage realized it was an energy blast, he flew up to the ceiling, just in time to blast connect to the prison making glass break apart.
Linkage flew down and he was now free, who is the one who made that blast, it's color scheme is green and black, more like an sp-"
*Screaming*
"HELP!"
Linkage hears that voice from his earpiece. "Scan, Sarah!"
"AAAAHHH!"
The guests scream as the darkness monsters them out of the castle. Dr. Scan Atoms didn't get out, as he is chasing after Metaxist who has his daughter.
"Let my daughter go!" Scan demands.
Metaxist simply lets go of Sarah, who made a fall until he grabs her by the ankle of her left foot. "After him!" he orders as the dark monster surrounded Scan while he flies away with Sarah.
"Dad!" Sarah cries out as she is carried away.
Scan is surrounded by the monsters, and there's no one to help him. "Linkage, need you now." Suddenly, Linkage grabs Scan before the monsters could get him.
"Call me?" Linkage asked as the monster starts chasing him after they transform into dark birds.
"We have to find my daughter!" Scan told him.
"I know, but we need to lose these guys." Linkage said as an idea came once he saw the disco ball, but then he heard a scream as he looks down, seeing Trixie trapped in the table, "But save whoever is left behind."
"Let me go you creep!" Sarah shouts while struggling from hanging upside down, holding up her dress.
"Hmm, you are a lovely young woman, Sarah Atoms." Metaxist said observing her body her big chest to her wide hips, "I cannot wait to make you my queen." he said as Sarah's heel is tossed off by him, showing her nylon-clad foot as he stroked the sole like a pet.
"yohohohou creheheheep." Sarah cried out as she kicks Metaxist in the face, as he grabs her other ankle to take her heel off as well.
"Now you're asking for,t," he said, as he tickles both her feet making Sarah cry out in laughter. "Once your father's gone, you'll have me to be with, my dear!"
"Hehehehelp!" Sarah cry out.
Suddenly, a black and green bomb is thrown at the back of Metaxist, which exploded behind him, "Gah!" cries out, letting go of Sarah who fell until someone catches her from falling and sliding down the floor.
"Sorry, pal. But legs her's states 'no means no.'" spoke to the rescuer who wears a happens to be the man from before and is holding Sarah over his shoulder with her rear next to his face, his hand holding her butt.
Sarah sees her running away from Metaxist. "Where we going-epp!" she felt a squeeze on her behind. "what it buster!"
"Sorry bumpy road, bringing you outside to the father."
"Okay, please hurry!" Sarah shout
Trixie getting scared of what's happening, she screams when the table cloth lifted up. She stops by Linkage holding out his hand.
"There you are, come on...we gotta get out of here!" Linkage said grabbing her hand.
"W-Who are you?" Trixie asked speechlessly.
"The name's Linkage," he responded Trixie is hesitant as she screams when she saw the dark bird coming after them. Linkage senses this as blasts the bird making it disappear with his red beam. "Come on, let's get you safe."
Trixie felt that she can trust him, as she grabs his hand as he pulls her out of the table, and carries her around the waist. He flew off and place her outside. "Thank you," she said.
"No problem." Linkage respond as he shoots a red beam at the disco ball, "Cover your eyes!" he told her as she did, as the red beam hits the disco ball as created a flashing red light.
"EEEEEEE!" the dark monsters screech out, as the light beam hits them thus disintegrating the monsters into nothing.
"Linkage, you there?" spoke Sarah in his comlink.
"Sarah, are you alright?" Linkage respond.
"Yeah, I'm okay," Sarah said after she got put down by the hero, she's outside where she spots her dad. "I'll go meet up with my dad, you take care of that darkness Metax."
Trixie look around and spoke. "Thank you for saving me!"
"No problem. Now, I have a villain to deal with." Linkage said as he flew back inside to deal with Metaxist.
Once Linkage comes in, he spotted Metaxist coming in, seeing Linkage as he forms a scowl.
"You ruined everything!" Metaxas shouted as he shoots black beams at him, which Linkage dodged "Don't try to dodge them, boy! My beams can follow you to the ends of the earth!"
"That's exactly what I wanted to be!" Linkage shout makes Metaxist confused.
In fast, Linkage simply got to Metaxist's back until the beams get-go Linkage. Metaxist is shocked by the beams in front of him.
"Dam-"
*Boom*
Metaxist fell down on the floor, injured. He looks up to Linkage who grabs him by the collar and shoves him to the wall.
"Give me one good reason why I won't stop you now?" Linkage asked.
Metaxist grins as he told him "My Robo-Butler carried your parents down to the bunker. They're safe, they think their son is safe." he lifts a phone to show Linkage a camera feed of his parents playing checkers.
"Man, I sure hope Lincoln got to safety." Lynn Sr said.
"Robo-Butler did say that he's safe in the guest room, right?" Rita asked.
"Of course, your son is safe. No need to worry." the Robo-Butler said.
"And under my command, if I get arrested and you expose me...well, my Robo-Butler is programmed to finish them off," Metaxist said making Linkage angry at him. The boy knew that if he turns Metaxist in now, his parents would be in danger, so he let him go. "Good boy."
"This isn't over, you know." Linkage told him as Metaxist changes back to John Teherby, as Linkage changes back to Lincoln.
"Oh, this is far from over, Lincoln." John said with an evil grin, "This is only the beginning."
Lincoln looks at him with angrily glowing green eyes. "Listen up, you hurt me, beat me, even half to death. But no one mess with my family...you ever tried to touch them, I gladly have deathmatch."
"Don't worry, I do not type of who hurt those that innocent. Just ones who stand in my way, I give last chance Lincoln. Join me in my plans, I can train you and teach you everything I know and give you and your family's heart desires." John said
Lincoln stares at John, as he now has a hatred for the man, "Keep your offer. This is going to be between you and me only, John. No one gets involved."
John chuckled, "Hehe, the next time we meet, I won't be merciful to you."
On the front porch of the mansion, Lincoln leaning on the RV as Atoms with him seeing the poor boy with a defeated look on his face.
"Are sure you don't wanna talk about it?" Sarah asked
"I talk when we are on road with everyone in check," Lincoln said as sees Rita and Lynn Sr coming to the RV. "Thank you above."
Lincoln hugged his parents much to their surprise, as soon three hugged each other until Lincoln looks at them, while the Robo-Butler places the bags in the RV.
"What's taking you guys so long?" Lincoln asked
"I was giving my pay from John plus me in the bunker." Lynn Sr said
"Can we go now, because your daughters wanted to know where are we due don't eat another pudding in dessert," Lincoln said
"Okay sweetie, we going now," Rita said as she and Lynn Sr goes to the RV.
"There you are Lincoln."
Lincoln turns to see Trixie going to him. "Hi Trixie, sorry we didn't finish our dance."
"Well it's fine, but I had a good time. But you're not gonna believe this, I've met a superhero when those monsters attacked!" Trixie told him.
"Really? Does that superhero happen to be Linkage?" Lincoln asked her.
"How'd you know?" She asked.
"Lucky guess, he's basically around to stop these Metaxes near him, and he's a hero at Royal Woods," Lincoln told her.
"That's so cool! We should totally get in contact about it, soon!" Trixie told him holding up her phone.
Lincoln smiled at her. "Sure, I loved to talk to you when I get the chance."
Trixie makes a sly smile. "And this for being a gentleman tonight and a good dancer."
Without a thought, Lincoln felt a peck of soft lips on his cheek. Lincoln looks up and sees Trixie walking away giving give a wink giving his face turns completely red. He turns around and sees the grown-ups having a smirk on each of their faces. Rita record the whole thing with her phone makes things worse for the boy.
"Don't you guys start," Lincoln warned
In Atoms RV, we see Lynn Sr and Rita sleeping in their beds. While Lincoln sitting at the table with a serious look on his face. Sarah and Scan are shocked that what Lincoln said about what happened.
"You serious Lincoln?" Sarah asked
"John trapped me in a tube while trying to steal you, Sarah, away from your Scan. Someone help me break out from that tube, I rush in and stop John or I say Metaxist. I was gonna turn him in, but he has my parents captive in a bunker. He will kill them if I show the police who he is." Lincoln said
Scan sighs as he responds "I believe you, Lincoln. It all makes more sense now. The lab accident gave John powers those years ago, and now he grew so dark-hearted, he's nothing but a shell of a man."
"I believe you too, Lincoln. I always knew something wasn't right about him." Sarah replied, crossing her arms at what a creep John is.
"Then we have to do something about him," Lincoln said.
"For now, John is not going to do anything." Scan states while crossing his arms, "All we need to do is be ready for whatever move he makes."
Lincoln puts his hands on his mouth and speaks. "He knows where I lived, my parents, and my sisters. He has been watching me this whole time, he won't attack them cause he's after me alone...but I'm not scared."
Sarah looks at him. "Really?"
"I'm terrified...but if John wants to challenge me and fight me?" Lincoln said with a determined look. "Then bring it on."
While watching the RV leaves in the big mount part, it is the same familiar young man who talked to Sarah and saved her. He touches his ear and spoke.
"I met him...and your right, he's is a strong kid."
"Good job, now return home and give me a message cause my legs are sore in training."
The young man hangs up and chuckled. "Man, I know to get me hard."
He begins to walk right away and begins to fly away while having a smile on his face.
John Teherby/Metaxist: A metax full of negative energy that is similar to Linkage but with more experience over the years.
The time to come out of the next hero...
