When Linc woke up the next day he noticed his collar had a lock on it

(if I can unlock it I can wait for clemont to find me and leave!) Linc thought to himself

he looked outside and it was very early so he decided to go downstairs and work out

after a few hours he heard someone say "everyone I want feet on the ground!"

he then heard a bunch of people getting up so he slammed his fist on the counter to let them know he was downstairs which caused an indent in the counter

"Lincoln?" Lynn sr asked only to see his oldest son drinking coffee from a mug that said "I'm that bitch"

"is that coffee?" Lisa asked

linc nodded

"you can't have that!" Rita said before trying to take it which caused Linc to hiss at her

"ok this isn't working." Lisa said before pulling out a piece of paper "can you write?"

Linc nodded

"well then write down what you need." Lisa said

Linc wrote something down and handed the paper to Lisa

"it says: "if you don't take this collar off of me right now I'm gonna make you wish that I stayed gone." Lisa said "well then sorry elder brother unit that's not gonna happen."

Linc let out a growl

"ok well then Lincoln today Lisa is going to help you in school since you were gone for so long." Rita said

Linc tilted his head in confusion

"yes you better get ready for school." Lynn sr said before pulling out an orange shirt "I got your old shirt."

Linc grabbed it and lit it on fire with a match

"I don't think he likes it." Lola said

later

Linc and Lisa were walking to school when a red haired boy and his friends approached him

"hey you're new around here how about you ditch this loser and join me?" The boy said

"Lincoln don't listen to him he's an old bully of yours." Lisa said "chandler mccane"

"wait Larry?!" Chandler asked "what happened to you you were scrawny before!"

Linc flipped him off before walking away

"That fucker is back!" Chandler said

"I thought he was gone for good." One of his friends said

"it's been four years!" Chandler said

"he's still the same Loud so just bully him some more at school." Another friend said

"no I gotta send a message of who's really in charge of things now." Chandler said before heading to the school and going into the school news room

"Welcome home!" Chandler said as he opened the door

"I'm gonna make you wish that you'd stayed gone."

"Say hello to a new status quo."

"Everyone knows that there's a brand-new dawn..."

"Turn the TV on!"

the tv's in the school turned on revealing Chandler talking with two pictures of Linc one before he left and after he came back in the background

"Top of the hour, and we're discussing a certain has-been Who has been spotted cavorting around town After a four-year absence."

"Did anybody miss him?"

"Did anybody notice?"

"more on today's program!"

"So, the loud is back in town!"

"Why is he hanging around?"

"What does that mean for your family?"

"Well handily, I've got good news!"

"He's a loser, a fossil and I don't mean to sound hostile But the bitch is a coward!"

"You can take that as gospel"

"Pulling my viewers? Impossible!"

"I'm visual, he's barely audible"

"Stop givin' him the time of day"

"Don't listen to a word he'd say"

"I hope he had a nice vacay!"

"But he should've stayed away!"

Linc noticed this and headed to the office to make his own announcement

"While he hid in radio"

"We pivoted to video"

"Now his medium is gettin' bloody rare!"

"This Hell's been better since he split"

"Where's he been?"

"Who gives a shit!"

"Salutations!" Linc's voice rang over the intercom

"Good to be back on the air!"

"Yes, I know it's been a while Since someone with style treated this hell to a broadcast Sinners rejoice!"

"what a dated voice!" Chandler's voice said

"Instead of a clout-chasin' mediocre video podcast."

"Come on!"

"is chan insecure? Pursuing allure?"

"Flitting between this fad and that, is nothin' working?"

"ignore his chirping!"

"Every day, he's got a new format!"

"You're lookin' at the future, he's the shit that comes before that!"

"is chan as strong as he purports? Or is it based on his supports?"

"he would be powerless without his groupies!"

"oh please!"

"And here's the sugar on the cream."

"He asked me to join his team."

"hold on!"

"I said no, and now he's pissy, that's the tea!"

"You old-timey prick I'll show you suffering!" Chandler's voice on the TV's was glitching due typloshion draining the energy from the school's tv's

"Uh oh, the TV is buffering!"

"I'll destroy you-" the tv's power went out cutting chandler off

"I'm afraid you've lost your signal!"

"Let's begin."

"I'm gonna make you wish that I'd stayed gone"

"Tune on in cause when I'm done."

"Your status quo will know its race is run."

"Oh, this will be fun!"

Linc let out a laugh before shutting off the intercoms

"fuck!" Chandler said

with Lisa

Lisa recognized the threat over the intercom it was the same one Linc had used on her that morning

"He can talk." Lisa said "so what is he hiding?"

with linc

Linc walked through the halls before noticing a group of kids

"Lincoln!!" A boy with glasses said running in for hug only for Linc to jump over him

"huh!?" The boy said "Lincoln it's me Clyde mcbride!"

Linc held him back with his cane

"so sorry young man but this beast doesn't like being hugged by people he doesn't know." Linc said leaving a confused Clyde behind

with clemont

"ok i think we're ready." Clemont said

"we should wait till night gives us an advantage." Lily said

"no!" Clemont said "we don't know what's going on there!"

Lily connected the dots

"you have a crush on my brother don't you?" Lily asked

"what?!?" Bonnie said "I've been trying to find you a girlfriend when really I should've been trying to find you a boyfriend?!?"

"ok then we're waiting till night!" Clemont said embarrassed

later with linc

most teachers were scared of Linc after his announcement (plus he knocked out the secretary to make it)

though the music teacher liked his song

on the way home he was stopped by chandler

"Larry! You think you can just insult me like that and-" chandler began before Linc pulled out his knife and put it to his throat

"call me Larry again and the knife goes right." Linc said "my name is Linc got it?"

"yes Linc I understand!" Chandler said scared for his life

"wonderful." Linc said before turning around "good talk my good man. Good talk."

Linc walked away leaving a scared chandler behind

soon Linc walked into the house

(as much as i would love to leave I gotta play it cool) Linc thought to himself

"Lincoln where's your sister?" Rita asked

Linc ignored them and went to play with Landon

after about 30 minutes Lisa came back

"Lisa where were you?" Lynn sr asked

"he threw down the stairs!" Lisa said pointing at Linc "and I know you can talk Lincoln!"

"I wouldn't call it a throw more like giving you a little nudge." Linc said with a smile on his face "and it took you long enough to figure it out."

"how dare-" Lisa said

just then the door opened revealing Luna, Sam, Lori, Bobby, and Ronnie Anne and Clyde

"hey fam!" Luna said

"why did you want me to pick up Ronnie Anne and Clyde?" Lori asked until the group noticed linc

"Lincoln!" The group said minus Sam and Bobby said going in for a hug only for Linc to jump away

"how many times must I say it I don't like being hugged by people I don't know." Linc said

"Lincoln you know us!" Clyde said

"actually he might not before he vanished luan's pranks hit him over the head with with a hammer." Lisa said

Linc turned to Luan with a look that could kill

"sorry..." luan said

Linc threw her up the stairs making sure she hit every individual stair

later at dinner

Linc was sat next to Ronnie Anne

"maybe true loves kiss will bring his memories back." Clyde whispered

"mcbride that's stupid." Ronnie Anne said

"but it's worth a shot!" Clyde whispered

Ronnie Anne leaned in but Linc put his knife to her throat shocking everyone

"if you try that again I will tear you apart and record your screams so everyone who disrespects me will know what will happen." Linc said "also I'm not interested."

"Luna can I talk to you for a minute?" Lisa asked

"uh sure?" Luna said

they moved to another room but linc could still hear them

"Luna I need you to take this key and put it around your neck." Lisa said

"why?" Luna asked

"because it's the key to Lincoln's collar." Lisa said

"why does Lincoln have a collar?!" Luna asked

"it makes sure he stays in this dimension." Lisa said "plus he gave the dimension watch to someone who I assume is a friend."

"ok but why me?" Luna asked

"you have a concert tonight." Lisa said "if Lincoln goes he can't get close if he doesn't he has to watch Landon."

(is that a challenge?) Linc thought to himself

"alright then." Luna said before taking the key

(hubris is the downfall of all.) Linc thought to himself

later that evening

"are you sure you don't want to go?" Rita asked

"yes I'll be fine." Linc said

"okay have fun!" Rita said as they left

Linc looked at the baby Landon

"you and l are going to have a GREAT time causing chaos." Linc said as a portal opened revealing clemont and the gang

"LINC!" Everyone said

oh boy they're here

next chapter is how they're gonna get back

see you next time
