Ah, the late summer night, what a magical time, the crickets chirping, the clear sky letting the moon and the stars lighting up the streets of the city, and the howling of the wind. Truly the perfect way to fall asleep… or fight criminals.
While everyone else was sleeping in the comfort of their beds Lincoln and his friend Ronnie Anne were currently fighting against some low-level crooks that were trying to rob a small market.
"You know what I was thinking?" the girl asked his partner while dodging the numerous incoming bullets.
"What?" Lincoln asked as he landed a left hook on one of the criminals.
"I should get my superhero name," the Latina said as she landed a kick on the abdomen of another criminal, sending him flying to the ground.
"Do you realize that we are trying to stop a robbery?" the boy complained as he hit one of the crooks with a flying kick and sent him to the other side of the room.
"You mean we stop a robbery," the girl replied pointing at the four criminals that were laying on the ground in pain.
"Come on, it's been nearly a month and, since you have yours, I should get one too,"
"Ok, we will think of something later, now tie them up, we gotta leave before the police show up," Lincoln stated.
Having said so, the two kids proceeded to run coils of metal rope around the criminals, tying them together before making their escape.
"What do you think of 'La Luchadora'?". Ronnie Anne asked as the two kids exited the building. Lincoln simply shook his head, not too totally convinced by the proposed name.
Inside the shop, the criminals were struggling to get free before the police arrived on the scene, but their effort stopped when they heard footsteps approaching them.
"Hey, how many dressed-up freaks are there?" one of the men said as he turned his head toward the figure. But, before he and his friends could utter any more words, the room was filled with the sounds of gunshots and screams.
The next day Lincoln woke up in a rather happy mood, there was no particular reason, he just had the feeling today was gonna be a wonderful day.
He got out of bed and with all the calm of the world, headed towards the bathroom but, as he passed the stairs he heard his sisters talking among each other. Intrigued by what was going on, he walked downstairs and noticed all of them watching the local news program.
"What are you watching?" Lincoln asked perplexed.
"Shh, the news is about to start," Lola quickly shushed him.
A bit irritated, Lincoln simply sat down and, as he still had no clue of what was going on, asked Lana to explain the situation.
"They said the vigilantes have killed some criminals and robbed a market," Lana stated.
Lincoln's blood froze in his vein, what did they mean by the vigilante have killed some criminal? Was there another vigilante that was using his name to commit crimes around the city? He tried to see if Lisa knew what was happening but, when he met her eyes, he immediately understood she too hadn't had the slightest idea of what was going on. The only way to find out was to watch the news.
"Katherine Mulligan speaking from the scene of the most recent crime, last night four criminals were murdered while they were trying to rob this shop, it's still unclear what happened, but, from the videos of the security cameras, we can say for sure that first the vigilantes defeated the robbers and later, we can see someone coming to kill them and later stole the cashed situated in the counter and in the safe," while speaking they showed the footage of the camera, which however weren't particularly clear and didn't show who shot at the robbers.
"Now a word from the chief of the police department. Sir, what do you have to say to the citizens of Royal Woods?" the journalist asked as she handed the microphone to the police chief.
"I just want to make sure that every citizen knows that the police department is doing everything possible to assure their safety and to put those criminals behind bars. Since the recent event, the mayor gave me the permission to create a special force to arrest the responsible of such crime.
I also hope that this event makes everyone understand that these two vigilantes are criminals and not heroes, if anyone knows something about those two subjects he must contact us immediately,"
Having heard the comment from the officer, the girls turned off the tv.
"I don't want to say I told you but...I told you this guy would, literally, just bring trouble," Lori said with a smirk directed at Luna.
"I still don't get it, why would he start killing the criminals?" Luna asked her sisters.
"Maybe he just got tired of the evil in this world and decided to remove it," Lucy suggested.
"Maybe it was his plan all along before he acts naive and nice and then he starts to commit crimes," Lola suggested.
"Or maybe it's someone else trying to impersonate him," Lana said.
"Alright, we could spend all the morning discussing why this vigilante has mysteriously decided to kill the criminals but we all have our activities and we need to hurry up with our breakfast," Lisa enquired, trying to divert her sisters' attention.
Hearing the 4-year-old's words, the 8 sisters got up from the sofa and headed towards the kitchen leaving behind Lisa and Lincoln who exchanged worried looks.
"Brother, are you feeling alright?" Lisa asked her brother.
"Not really." Lincoln answered sincerely "Lisa who could have done something like that?"
"I have no idea, but I'm faithful that you and Ronnie Anne will be able to stop him as you did with the criminals that came before him," Lisa said as she headed towards the kitchen followed by her brother.
After they had breakfast, Lincoln and his little sisters headed to their secret base where they waited for the arrival of Ronnie Anne, who showed up after a few minutes and seemed very irritated.
"Alright, who the flip is this guy that thinks he can copy us and frame us for his crimes, we already have enough problems with the police trying to catch us, we don't need another idiot to give them the motivation to do so," the Latina girl said as she tried to keep her anger under control.
"We know as much as you, but we are going to catch him," Lincoln said as he tried to reassure his friend.
"Tell me that you have a plan to catch him," the girl asked.
"Well, I might have a theory," Lisa said. "We know that this copycat has killed the crooks you had previously cached, that means that he probably was on a patrol like you two or he was following you two. So, my only advice is to go on patrol and watch out for every possible sign of his activity,"
"Alright, we will follow this plan until we don't come up with a better one," Ronnie Anne said a bit frustrated as she and Lincoln got out of the bunker.
Lincoln and Ronnie Anne were out looking for any possible sign of the copycat but their search seemed to be in vain as, after nearly three hours, they hadn't found anything that could lead them.
"I think this is the most boring part of the superhero's life," Ronnie Anne said jokingly. "Couldn't they just give us a position to find them so we could fight,"
"It could be even better if they offer us a cake," Lincoln sarcastically responded, causing both of the kids to start laughing at the idea of a criminal nicely presenting to them.
Lincoln tilted his head a bit to the right and, with the corner of his eye, caught a movement on the roof of the opposite building, he abruptly stopped laughing and tried to understand if what he saw was the copycat they were searching for.
"What's wrong?" Ronnie Anne said, noticing the drastic change in her friend's mood.
"I think there is 'The Copycat' on top of that building," Lincoln said, trying to keep calm and not make the criminal understand he had been discovered.
"What are we gonna do?" Ronnie Anne asked as she tried not to turn around.
"He doesn't know we know he's here, so we are gonna lay a trap for him, we bring him to an alley and then we are gonna arrest him,"
Understanding her friend's plan, Ronnie Anne simply nodded her head and followed Lincoln as the two of them started to jump from rooftop to rooftop being followed by their enemy.
The two kids kept moving until they reached an alley, where they hid behind some dumpster and patiently waited for the arrival of the new adversary.
After a few seconds, the criminal finally arrived. He was wearing a black jacket and trousers, his face was covered by a black motorcycle helmet that vaguely looked like Lincoln's helmet, and was equipped with an assault rifle, he also wore a belt to which were attached some knives.
The criminal started to inspect the alley to try and understand where the two vigilantes were and, as he finally approached their hiding spot, the two heroes revealed themself and jumped on top of the criminal, and tried to catch him quickly. But the villain was quick to react and jumped backward landing a few feet back and pointed his assault rifle at them.
"Well, look at that, the two vigilantes. I must say I'm a huge fan," the man said jokingly.
"Well then, you won't mind getting escorted to the prison by them," Lincoln replied as he activated his power.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I have an appointment I can't miss, and I won't let two kids stop me," The criminal said as he opened fire on the two kids, who jumped behind the dumpster to find cover.
"You go to the left, I go to the right?" Ronnie Anne asked her partner.
"Ok, let's try to solve this quickly," Lincoln said.
After having thought of a plan, the two kids jumped out of their hiding and started running in the two opposite directions, trying to flank the villain, while continuing dodging the bullets.
The villain tried to shoot at the two vigilantes, but the two kids ran too fast and couldn't aim properly, giving the two heroes the chance of getting close and, with a swift blow, disarmed their adversary who stumbled a few meters backward dropping on the ground.
The copycat quickly got up and armed himself with 2 knives and quickly charged head-on against the two vigilantes but each one of his attacks was dodged and, seeing that this fight was taking longer than necessary, the criminal decided to retreat and started to run into alleys.
The two heroes soon started to chase the criminals through the streets, jumping from roof to roof as they tried to stop him.
As the chase continued the villain started to feel more tired and slowed down, giving the young heroes the chance to catch up with him and jumped on top of him, taking the knives out of his hands and blocking him to the ground.
"Well, that was easy," Lincoln said as he held the criminal's arms onto the ground.
"Guess you won't be able to go to your appointment," Ronnie Anne said mocking the criminal.
"FREEZE!" A voice said from behind them, catching both the criminals and the two heroes off guard, when the three of them turned around, they saw an agent pointing his gun at them.
Unfortunately for the two vigilantes, during their chase, they unintentionally attract the attention of a police car which started to follow them.
"FACE TO THE WALL, HANDS UP WHERE I CAN SEE THEM!" The police agent ordered them and the two kids couldn't do anything but do as asked as they let their grasp on the criminal.
"YOU TOO! GET UP FROM THE GROUND AND FACE TO THE WALL!" The agent said to the criminal who was still laying on the ground.
"Are you talking to me?" The man said as he slowly got up.
"PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR!" the police officer exclaimed.
The criminal did as asked but, as he was raising his hands, he took another knife from his belt and threw it at the officer's shoulder, causing the agent to scream in pain.
The two young heroes run towards the wounded agent to check his condition, giving the criminal a chance to escape.
"Are you ok sir?" Lincoln asked as he approached the wounded officer
"STAY AWAY!" the agent said, pointing his gun at the two kids, who stepped a few steps backward.
Lincoln and Ronnie Anne wanted to help the man but the hostile behavior of the agent and the sound of police cars approaching their position, forced him and Ronnie Anne to leave the scene to not get caught. The young heroes climbed on top of the buildings and started to run away while being chased by the units of the police department.
Lincoln and Ronnie Anne tried to make them lose their tracks so they could return home, but no matter how hard they tried or how fast they ran, the police were always at their back and worst of all, more of them kept coming, making it nearly impossible for the young vigilantes to escape.
"Lincoln, did you and Ronnie Anne finish your search for the copycat?" Lisa asked, unaware of the event that just happened.
"Lisa this is a bad time, we are being chased by all the police in the city," Lincoln panted as he tried to catch some breath as he kept running.
"Lisa, is there a place where we can hide until they give up?" the Latina girl asked the little girl.
"Let's see," The 4-year girl said, thanks to the tracers she created, the girl was able to know the exact location of the two heroes and she began inspecting the map of the city hoping to find anything that could have helped her older brother and his friend.
"There is a construction site a few hundred meters from you, you should be able to see it from your position, you can hide there and then escape the police,"
Following Lisa's advice, the two young heroes quickly started heading towards the construction site with the police cars that kept following them.
Lincoln and Ronnie Anne quickly arrived at the site and, using their strength and the metal ropes Lisa gave them, they were able to jump upwards and landed on the fourth floor of the building
"You ok?" Ronnie Anne asked Lincoln as they got up.
"Yes, thank you," Lincoln said as he approached a window and noticed no less than 20 policemen that were starting to enter the building.
"Not gonna lie, we are in a bad spot," Lincoln said.
"How many of them are there?" the Latina girl asked.
"I would say 25, I don't think we will get out of here easily," Lincoln said in a worried tone.
"Guess we will have to fight them," Ronnie Anne stated in a bittersweet tone and Lincoln had no choice but to agree with his friends.
While the two kids were starting to come up with the fact that they would have to fight innocent people, the policemen were starting to quickly climb up the stairs and soon arrived at the fourth floor and started to search the two vigilantes.
The agents scattered around so they could find them more easily but what they didn't know was that the two young heroes were watching them.
Lincoln and Ronnie Anne were hiding behind one of the walls and were just waiting for the right moment to come out and make their escape.
Ronnie Anne tilted her head to her right to check on her friend Lincoln who was currently trying to make up his mind, although he knew their only option to escape was to fight the policemen, a part of him refused to do so. He had become a vigilante to protect the innocent, not to harm them, nevertheless, he had to do it if he wanted to keep the promise he made.
As soon as two policemen approached the two young heroes, they were attacked by Lincoln and Ronnie Anne who disarmed them and quickly knocked them out, making sure to not hurt them badly.
After having defeated the first two policemen, the two vigilantes were unfortunately spotted and the agents started opening fire on them, causing the two kids to run across the room to try and dodge the incoming bullets while more and more policemen arrived.
The two kids jumped behind a wall to catch some breath while the policemen kept shooting at them.
"Lincoln you and Ronnie Anne need to leave now, there is a S.W.A.T. squad coming to your position, and it will be there in three minutes," Lisa said through the earphones.
"Does the man-with-the-plan have an idea of what to do?" Ronnie Anne asked Lincoln.
"I have a plan, it's crazy, very stupid, and probably isn't gonna work," The White-haired boy said, handing a metal rope to his friend "Are you with me?"
Trusting her friend, Ronnie Anne took the metal rope and followed Lincoln as the two came out of their hiding spot.
The two young heroes started running around the room, running on the walls, dashing on the floor, running between the police officer, and sometimes even jumping on top of their heads just to irritate the policemen as much as possible, all while dodging the incoming bullets.
Although at first glance it may seem that Lincoln and Ronnie Anne had lost their mind, this was all part of Lincoln's plans. Being too concerned about catching the two vigilantes, the policemen didn't notice the metal rope was being run across them and when Ronnie Anne, and Lincoln finally stopped running, they pulled the rope, tying all the policemen together in one big mess.
"I can't believe this worked," Lincoln said, quite proud that his plan worked as intended.
"I'm happy for you brother, but the S.W.A.T. is about to arrive so you and Ronnie Anne should leave,'' Lisa said.
Hearing the little girl's memorandum, the two heroes ran out of the construction site and landed on the opposite building, where they changed back into their normal clothing just as the S.W.A.T. team.
"That was close," Ronnie Anne said, exhaling all her past stress.
"Yeah too close," Lincoln added. "Let's head home,"
Finally, the two young heroes were free to return to the Loud's residence without the risk of being followed by the police.
While the two young heroes were dealing with their problems with the police, the copycat was enjoying the view of the city from the top of a building near the city hall of Royal Woods.
As he was about to leave his spot he was hit from behind and was pushed to the ground. He was about to get up but he felt a gun pointed straight at his head.
"How many fucking vigilantes are in this city?" a voice said behind him
"If you think I am with those two masked heroes, then I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not with them," the man said, hoping this would make his aggressor realize that he had nothing to do with the two young heroes.
Luckily for him, this tactic proved successful as the man put his weapon down and let him get up, giving him the chance to give him a chance to glance at him revealing he was the armored man who a few days ago fought against Lincoln and Ronni Anne at the warehouse.
"So, if you are not with them, whose side are you on?" the man asked, not sure if he could trust him or not.
"Let's just say I'm on the side that allows me to gain more money," the criminal said, causing the armored man to chuckle a bit.
"Well, if that's the case, I could help you by giving you some equipment," the man said handing him a piece of paper "Meet me at this address when you want."
"How do I know it's not a trap?" the copycat asked, unsure if he could trust this new possible ally.
"For the same reason I know you won't send the police there," the man replied.
"Touchè. Thank you, whoever you are" the man said. "Say wouldn't you like to form a squad,"
"What?" the man said, confused about the copycat request.
"Listen, I don't know you but I think if we worked together we could be able to rob all the banks in this city,"
"Sorry, but I'm not doing this for the money," the armored man said as he left, leaving the copycat behind.
"Well more money for me," he thought as he too left the building.
After nearly thirty minutes Lincoln and Ronnie Anne finally arrived at home where Lisa was waiting for them at the entrance.
"Hey Lisa," Lincoln said with a happy tone, before noticing her serious expression. "Is something wrong?"
"Mother and Father want to talk to us, it's about the vigilante," The little girl said, causing Lincoln's heart to stop a beat.
"Well, I think it's better if I leave now, smell you later Lincoln," Ronnie Anne said as she left the two Loud siblings and headed to her home.
The two siblings entered the house, completely unaware of what was about to happen.
Inside the living room, the whole family was there with his sisters sitting on the couch while his parents were in front of them.
"Ah, Lincoln, you're finally here," His mother said. "Can you please sit with your sisters for a moment honey?"
Doing as asked, Lincoln and Lisa sat on the floor waiting for their parents to speak.
"Alright kids, let's get this over quickly so we can have lunch, you all know about the vigilante in Royal Woods and the latest news involving him,"
"You mean the criminal he killed," Lola asked.
"Hey, you don't know if he did that he was probably framed," Her twin quickly replied.
"Oh come on Lana, who else could have done that?" Lori rebutted.
"Probably one of the many criminals he was trying to stop," Luna added.
Quickly the discussion spiraled out of control, with the sister discussing whether the two vigilantes were doing the right thing or not, with Lincoln and Lisa watching from the sidelines.
"SILLENNNCCCEEEE!" Lynn Sr shouted, restoring the silence in the living room.
"Look kids," Rita said. "We are not here to discuss whether the vigilantes are responsible for the crime or not, we wanted to tell you that your father and I decided that we brought forward your curfew at 20:30,"
"WHAT!?" The oldest siblings collectively shouted.
"Kids calm down," Lynn Sr said, trying to keep the situation as calm as possible "This change will be only until the situation calms down and the police catch those responsible for the crime. Now, why don't we go to have lunch?"
Having said so, the 10 siblings left the living room and headed towards the kitchen, with Lincoln and Lisa staying behind to talk to each other.
"We better catch this criminal quickly," Lincoln said.
"I completely agree with you dear brother, especially because seeing the police performance this morning, we may not be able to leave our house until we are 18," Lisa added, causing Lincoln to give a little chuckle.
That afternoon Lincoln and his sister Lana were chilling on the sofa playing some of the boy's video games.
"Oh come on I was so close," Lana said as she noticed the game over sign on her screen.
"Yeah, you are improving quickly," Lincoln said, rubbing her younger sister's head. "Wanna have a rematch?"
"YESSS!" Lana shouted a bit overjoyed.
As Lincoln was about to restart the match, he received a message from Ronnie Anne warning him that she was waiting for him with Lisa in the 4-year-old bunker.
"Who is it?" Lana asked as she tried to spy who sent the message.
"It's just Ronnie Anne," Lincoln said as he hid his phone from her little sister's sight.
"ARE YOU TWO DATING," Lana shouted.
"SHHH, keep quiet," Lincoln shushed her. "We are not dating, it's just a simple meetup with two friends to play some game at the arcade," Lincoln tried to make Lana reason as he started to head toward the door.
"Right, just playing games," Lana remarked sarcastically causing Lincoln to roll his eyes as he exited the house and walked towards the bunker where the Latina girl was waiting for him.
"What took you so long lame-o," Ronnie Anne asked as gave a friendly punch to the boy's shoulder.
"Sorry, I was withheld by Lana," Lincoln said as the two kids exited the loud residence and changed into their hero outfit and started their patrol to search for the copycat.
The two kids had been out for around an hour by now, yet there was no sign of the criminal. Furthermore, Lincoln's mind was somewhere else, being overrun by thousands of different thoughts.
"Hey Ronnie Anne, may I ask you a question?" The boy asked his friend
"What's the matter Lincoln?" the girl replied.
"Do you think what we are doing is the right thing?'" Lincoln said, causing Ronnie Anne to stop and turn around to face Lincoln with disbelief.
"Of course what you are doing is right! Don't you think so too?" Ronnie Anne asked as she got closer to him, starting to feel a bit worried for him.
"It's just that I have been thinking," Lincoln said as he sat down. "We have been around doing this work for a month and yet, nothing seems to have improved. The number of criminals keeps rising every day, and no matter how hard we try, everyone just thinks we are criminals and now we even give a criminal the cover to do his crimes,"
Ronnie Anne, understanding what was going on inside the young boy's mind, sat by his side and tried to reassure him.
"Look I understand how you are feeling, sometimes I think the same things as you, but you've got to remember this, if we weren't around there would be even more criminals and more people would be in danger. Yes, some people don't trust us and those idiots of the police want to arrest us, but believe me, sooner or later things are gonna get better," Ronnie Anne said, trying to reassure her friend.
Her words fortunately had the desired effect and the white-haired boy started to feel much better.
"Thanks, how do you know what to say to make people feel better?" Lincoln asked
"I don't know, probably just a natural talent," Ronnie Anne answered, scoffing her shoulders "Anyway, now that we have solved this problem let's talk about my hero's name. I was thinking of something like the 'Night Glider' eh eh?" Ronnie Anne said enthusiastically as she got up and made a superhero pose.
Hearing the rapid change of conversation and his friend's pose, Lincoln started to giggle a bit before getting up and continuing the patrol followed by his friend.
As their search continued, the young vigilantes stumbled upon a crook that was trying to steal a car.
"Well guess we need to take care of that too," Ronnie Anne said as she and Lincoln descended upon the unsuspecting criminal, who was quickly overwhelmed.
"And done," Lincoln said as she finished tying him up with the metal ropes. "Shall we continue our search?"
"I have a better idea," Ronnie Anne affirmed, a suspicious grin appearing on her face.
"I don't like this idea," The crook said, dangling from the top of a roof in an alley.
"I have to agree with him, this plan doesn't seem too good," Lincoln said, not completely agreeing with Ronnie Anne's plan.
"Ah relax, the copycat will see the criminal dangling, will try to kill it and we will jump in and stop him. Pretty simple,"
Lincoln didn't like the idea of using the crook as bait, but he had no other idea that could help them to catch the copycat.
The two heroes kept watching for any possible sign of the emulator until they noticed a strange movement coming from the shadows of the alley.
"Who's there?" the crook asked as the man approached him pointing a gun at him.
"WHOA WHOA WHOA, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" the crook screamed.
"Sorry man, but as long as the police think the vigilantes are responsible for the homicide they will try to stop them and not me," The man said, raising his weapon "And I'm willing to give them more reason to keep hunting them down,"
But, before the copycat could have shot him, Lincoln and Ronnie Anne intervened, jumping from the roof and causing the copycat to make a few steps backward.
"Well, well, well, I was asking myself when you two kids would show up," the copycat stated, putting himself into a defensive stance.
"And we are ready to bring you to jail," Ronnie Anne said.
"I won't count on that, I have received a few cool gadgets from a new friend," the copycat said as he activated a hidden blade attached to his right arm, a blade nearly identical to the one the armored man they had fought a few days ago.
"Where did you get that weapon?" Lincoln asked seeing the blade
"If you want to know, you will have to catch me," the man said before making his escape on the nearby roof, with Lincoln and Ronnie Anne on his heels.
Wanting to prevent the criminal from escaping, Ronnie Anne threw her metal ropes to try and block him but the criminal quickly reacted, turning around and cutting the metal rope. Although this didn't stop the criminal, it slowed him down and allowed Lincoln to launch himself forward to try and hit the copycat in the face, causing the criminal to slide across the floor.
As the criminal tried to get up, Ronnie Anne tried to finish the job with a flying kick but, even though he was disoriented, the copycat rolled across the floor and was able to dodge the blow at the last second.
The criminal quickly got up and reveal another of his new gadget: a few smoke grenades, he covered his face with a strange mask and took the grenades from his belt, and started throwing them in all direction and soon engulfed the entire roof with smoke making it impossible for Lincoln and Ronnie Anne to see anything that was a few inches from their noses.
The two heroes stood back to back, preventing the copycat from catching them from behind. They started to slowly turn around but then the criminal jumped out of the smoke and tried to slash the two heroes with his blade. Luckily, the kids dodged the blow and the criminal retreated under the cover of the smoke.
The criminal repeated this attack again and again for a few times and was very close to hit the two vigilantes more than one time but, as the criminal attacked Lincoln and Ronnie Anne again, the two kids were able to predict his movement and managed to counterattack by hitting him in the abdomen and throwing him onto the ground.
The young heroes started to approach the now defeated criminal to handcuff him. Unfortunately, the man still had some strength left to keep on fighting and, as the heroes were closing on him, he quickly got up and hurled his blade at Lincoln's head which, fortunately, was protected by the helmet. Seeing the attempt on her friend's life, Ronnie Anne acted quickly, blocking the armed arm while Lincoln threw a punch at the criminal's face causing him to pass out.
"LINCOLN ARE YOU OK?" Ronnie Anne asked fearing for her friend's well-being.
"Ronnie Anne I'm fine," Lincoln said, trying to reassure his friend.
Having understood that her friend wasn't hurt, the Latina girl switched her attention to the criminal.
"Do you think it is over?" Ronnie Anne asked, a bit tired of the copycat not giving up.
"I think so," Lincoln answered. "Well I think we should go now,"
"Wait, if we leave him like this, the police will think this is just a random crook and will still think we were the ones that killed those criminals," Ronnie Anne pointed out.
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"I might have another idea," Ronnie Anne stated.
A few minutes later a police car showed up on the scene after they received a call from loud noises. Once on the scene, the two policemen were welcomed by an unexpected sight.
There, together with the crook that tried to steal a car, they also found the copycat still unconscious, tied up with metal ropes and with a letter attached to him.
"Dear policemen, this in front of you is the criminal responsible for the crimes for which the two vigilantes were framed.
You can thank your local heroes
Powerfist and Oscurada."
Having read the letter, the two policemen proceeded to take the two criminals and get them into the car as they headed towards the police station all while being spied on by the two young heroes.
"Well, I think we did a good job, " Ronnie Anne said.
"Yeah, I totally agree," Lincoln added, smiling brightly.
As the two kids were occupied contemplating their job they were interrupted by Lisa who reminded Lincoln of the need for him to be at home as soon as possible. Not wanting to be scolded by his parents, Lincoln said goodbye to Ronnie Anne and headed towards his home.
After a few minutes, Lincoln returned to his secret hideout where Lisa was waiting for him.
"Greetings brother, were you and Ronnie Anne able to arrest the copycat?" Lisa asked.
"Yes, I just hope that everyone understands we weren't the ones responsible,"
"Well, to find that out we should probably watch the news that should start in approximately three minutes," Lisa said as she and Lincoln headed towards their house.
Inside the living room, the rest of the loud house was reunited to watch the news.
"Greetings dear family units, did they tell you anything new regarding the vigilantes?" Lisa questioned.
"Not yet sweetie but the program is about to start," Mrs. Loud said as Lincoln and Lis took place in front of the TV.
"Welcome back everybody, Katherine Mulligan here to report to you the latest news regarding the two heroes of Royal Woods, who now call themself: Powerfist and Oscurada. A few hours ago, the police found the criminal that was responsible for the recent homicide with a letter from the two heroes themself," Katherine said as she showed images of the crime scene.
"Although the police firmly believe the two heroes to be criminals, we can't deny the good they had done to our city by capturing all these criminals. Now on the sports news,"
"Well guess someone was right," Lana and Luna said, teasing Lola and Lori
"Shut up," The two siblings replied irritated.
"Now that the killer has been arrested, will you and Mom remove the curfew?" Leni asked her father, who soon found all the eyes of his kids on him.
"Well, I think me and your mother will have to talk about it," Lynn Sr answered, not wanting to break any of his children's hopes. "But now it's better if we all go to eat, I have made Lynn-guinni,"
Hearing that food was ready the ten siblings headed joyfully towards the kitchen.
"May I ask you how are you feeling dear brother now that the copycat has been arrested?"
"Well, the police still hate us, but the fact people don't see us as criminals anymore makes me feel better," Lincoln joyfully stated
"I'm happy you feel this way," Lisa stated.
Unfortunately for the young heroes things were about to go down pretty quickly.
"Sorry honey I was delayed, we have a lot of work on our hands right now," City Manager Charlie said to his wife. "I'm on my way, I will be home in an hour "
Before the chief administrative officer could put his phone into his pocket, a bang echoed through the streets and the chief fell to the ground dead, with a bullet hole right in the middle of his forehead.
A few hundred meters away, in the building he had inspected that evening, was the armored man who had fought against the two heroes in the warehouse.
"Bullseye," the man said as he left the building while more and more people flocked towards the dead body.
