Intro: Road Less Taken
Hey there, True Believers! Watch as once again frightening forces are at work in our world, ready to wreak havoc with our very existence. But for our friends The Loud family, it's just supposed to be a normal night at the theater. Well as normal as it can be for supporting cast members.
April 1st, 2024, Royal Woods Theater
Lincoln Loud was wondering how he ended up in this situation. And yet, here he was, being dragged along to be apart of something he never asked to take part of. It had been 5 weeks since his friend and comrade, Marshall Jason Onodera gave his life to seal the maniacial demon Z-arc. Ever since then, Lincoln hadn't really been himself. Royal Woods City was rebuilding after the final battle between The Avengers and the Supreme King Dragon. The final words of their leader were still echoing in his head. "I'm sure we will meet again. In the life beyond." The man with the plan (patent pending) was still confused by this. What did he mean by that?
Lincoln just sighed and looked at Morgana. The feline persona user was in Lana's arms, taking a nap as usual. While Morgana was a veteran of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, Lincoln had learned that only thing he could rely on with Morgana was that he was always sleeping when the only boy of the Loud family could find him. But this time Lana was cooing as she stroked the feline's fur. Hey Linc, I'm thinking this show will be great." Lana said as she kept stroking Morgana.
Lincoln just nodded. This show was bugging Lincoln. Yuya Sakaki, the supposed star of the show was supposed to be no longer alive. But yet Luan received an invite from him asking the Loud siblings to join his latest show. Then it occurred to him that someone was missing. "Hey, where's Linka?" He asked. The Illaster clone of Lincoln was nowhere to be seen. The Illiaster clone of Lincoln was nowhere to be seen. But it was understandable, since Linka wasn't a official member of the Avengers. She was always off doing her own thing. But even though she was artificially made by Illiaster, she was still a member of the family.
"She told me she'll be along later." Lori answered. "She's still worried that people will see her as a monster." Lincoln sighed. He saw Linka as a twin sister but he knew that she was worried that other people wouldn't treat her like a normal person. "Don't worry Linc. She'll be fine." Lola said, putting a hand on her brother's shoulder. "It's not that. I just miss Marshall. Everywhere I go, I see his face. I miss him very much." Lincoln said, looking down in sadness. " I understand perfectly well." Lisa replied coming over to her brother. "The loss of Marshall has affected us all. I haven't even heard word from JARVIS since his memorial. It's heartbreaking." Lori sighed in disbelief. " If we dwell too long on what's missing, we fail to see what can be gained. The absence of Marshall will either tear us apart or bring us closer together. The choice is yours little brother." She said looking at Lincoln. "I know! But we're missing our usual persona user. Sure, Lily and Linka have got the powers but they're not as strong as Marshall's powers were. He could wield multiple personas!" He sighed. "Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We only have today. Or else this offer expires!" Lucy said with one of her usual jumpscares.
