YOOOOOOO GUYS! Geo here! And welcome back to One Helluva Loud House, this time…oooh boy, we gotta doozy for you all, as we pick up six months after the events of the previous chapter, and well…yeah, just read and sit back and enjoy the ride!
"Ah, pure bliss! The sky is amazing, the gentle breeze is like a soothing melody, and this sandwich...oh, it's a work of art!" Lincoln exclaimed joyfully, savoring the moment. But just as he was about to take a bite, a sudden interruption shattered the tranquility.
"Lincoln!" Cleetus bellowed, accompanied by Keenie and Colin. "Oh, for crying out loud! What do you three want now?" Lincoln grumbled as he sat up.
"Ugh!...why can't you three leave me alone?" Lincoln grumbled.
"Beacuase we're trying to help you! Those lousy Imps have corrupted you and your family!" Cleetus exclaimed. "You've been saying that since you first showed up in my house, and my family is no different than before we met them! Just beat it, already!" He huffed angrily with glowing eyes, prompting the three to flee in fear of his temper. "Ughh!" Lincoln groaned, his appetite partially ruined by the intrusion as he turned to face the camera. "Cherubs. Those three bozo's have been bothering me for a while now. It all started about six months back, right after Stolas dropped his daughter off here for us to watch her." he sighed in annoyance as he went back to his sandwich…only to discover it was now on the ground being eaten by ants. "Euuugh!…Writers, cut to someone else…I gotta take care of this." He growled while reaching for a bottle of bleach spray.
*Meanwhile, at M&M's house*
Cristina gave a yawn as she rolled over in bed but was slowly stirred awake by a knock at her door.
"Cristina, honey! Time to get up!" Millie smiled at her adopted daughter as she poked her horned head in the doorway.
"Alright…just need a second." She said with another yawn while stretching her arms and sitting up in bed Cristina hopped out of bed and made her way downstairs where she smelled something cooking. 'Wonder if dad's making waffles again?' She thought while scratching the back of her head and turned around the corner, passing through the dining room and walking into the kitchen, where Moxxie was…making pancakes instead of waffles.
"Morning dad." She yawned tiredly, rubbing her eyes as she grabbed a banana from a fruit bowl while he started pouring eggs into another frying pan.
"Morning, sweet-pea! Eat up, your mother and I have something great to tell you!" Moxie said as he placed a plate of pancakes in front of Cristina, who had gone back to the dining room table and started breaking off pieces of her banana to place on each pancake as Millie walked in and kissed Moxxie on the cheek.
"Now Cristina, your father and I have decided to take you on a little family fun day today so we can get to know you better!" Millie smiled, sitting next to Moxxie who handed her a rather large cup of coffee. "Really? Like, what do you have planned for it?"
"Well, first we plan on taking you to the movies, then down to the duck ponds over at the park, and maybe we'll even hit up the botanical garden." Moxxie said…before smelling something burning and panicking as he realized he forgot about the toast in the toaster.
"Ahhh shit the toast!" He shouted quickly rushing over and getting the toast, which was now blackened and smoking a little, prompting Moxxie to frown in disappointment. "Damn it."
"Don't worry dad, I don't really mind burnt toast." Cristina chuckled as Moxxie sighed. "That all sounds nice, though." She added, making him lift his shoulders a bit.
"Great! We can leave after breakfast!" Moxxie smiled happily.
Lincoln was lounging on the couch reading a comic book. "Well at least now those little assholes left me alone" he sighed in content…..until he noticed all three of them pressing their faces against the windows.
"UGH! GO AWAY!" He yelled just as Blitzo walked downstairs. "Go away? I just fucking got here!"
"Not you! THEM!" He exclaimed, pointing at the window. "...The window?...You're telling..the window to go away?" He asked, raising an eyebrow as Lincoln looked over and saw the cherubs were gone, making his eye twitch. "…*Inhale* Where are your guns?" he asked as Blitzo gave a smile. "Ooooh you wanna murder someone? Count me in! Wait here, I'll get Lana, she's gonna wanna see this!' he exclaimed happily while dashing upstairs just as the Cherubs lifted their head back into view through the window.
"YOU!" Lincoln growled, dragging his finger across his neck, making all three of them gulp. "Man…he really hates you, Collin." Cleetus said.
"Wait what!?" Collin gulped.
Lincoln, Lana and Blitzo were in the backyard loading up their guns. "Alright Lincoln, just tell us when the bastards you want dead appear and we'll fill'em full of lead!" Lana shouted as Blitzo rubbed her head. "HAHAHA! That's my girl!"
"There's three of them, they've been stalking me non stop for the past six months, and every time you, Millie, Moxxie, Loona, Niffty or my family show up in the same room, they book it to go hide until you leave." Lincoln explained.
"Hmmmm wait… three assholes, stalking a human nonstop?...Oh my god!...we're dealing with heavy5's cult fanbase again!?" Blitzo exclaimed in shock.
"What!? No!...well, at least not this time.." Lincoln said. "Just keep an eye out for them! They're short and can fly!" He said, grabbing a pistol and screwing a suppressor onto the barrel end.
*9 hours later*
Blitzo and Lana had long since fallen asleep on the picnic bench as Lincoln kept watch for the Cherubs, who he could practically feel were staring at him from somewhere around them.
Had Lincoln simply looked up in the tree behind him, he would've seen the cherubs were hiding in his treehouse.
"I don't know Cletus, maybe we should leave the kid and his family alone?" Colin said as Keenie gave a nod.
"Yeah, Colin's right! If he finds us here it could be bad! We can't get back home if we're DEAD!" She added before the three of them ducked into the foliage as Lincoln did indeed look up, only to see nothing.
"..." Lincoln narrowed his eyes as he kept watching the tree to see if anything other than a bird or squirrel was inside.
"We have to!" Cletus whisper-shouted. "What the heck's gotten into you two?! I thought you were both willing to do anything to get back home! Especially you, Keenie!" He snapped, glaring at said girl. "I do want to get home, but not if it means doing so in a freaking body bag!" She hissed as they heard Lincoln climbing the tree.
"FOUND YOU!" He shouted as he took aim….and proceeded to fall backwards after Colin panicked and threw the nearest thing he could find at his face, which was a loose branch with a squirrel clinging to it.
"LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!" Cletus shouted as they took off flying through the air as Lincoln ripped the squirrel off of his face and threw it back at the tree where it scampered away. "AAAUGH! FUCKING CHERUBS!" He shouted as Blitzo immediately woke up.
"Wait, did you say cherubs?"!" He said, now fully alert as he held up an M16. "I wish I didn't! Those fuckers have been bugging me since Stolas dropped Octavia off!" LIncoln said as Blitzo facepalmed. "Fuck me up the ass and call me Anne Hathaway! Seriously those fucktards again!? Ugh, why didn't you say so?"
"Wait, you know those three?!"
"Like you said, I wish I didn't! We got hired by some tech mogul to kill his business partner, he was already on his death bed so we just kicked back and munched on popcorn while he kicked the bucket all by himself, and then THOSE THREE ASSHOLES POP IN AND STOP HIM FROM KILLING HIMSELF!"
"Damn, so…what else happened?"
"Well, not much. Although we did end up getting THEM to accidentally kill the old fuck and send him to Hell for us! Plus their boss showed up telling them they were banned from Heaven for killing humans." Blitzo said with a warm smile.
"...wait…seriously?" Lincoln said before he burst out laughing as Lana soon woke up. "*Yawn* What I miss?"
"Oh, not much kid. Just your brother making me reminisce on happy memories." Blitzo said with a chuckle.
The Knolastname family were just now leaving the movie theater and heading downtown to the park to hang out at the Duck Pond, with Millie and Moxxie standing about 2 feet behind Cristina conversing with each other. "Millie, I'm not sure. What if she reacts…badly?"
"Moxx, whatever reaction she has, it'll be nowhere near as bad as you're thinkin'." Millie said, gripping his hand.
"...You're right Millie…so we should tell her now." He spoke as she gave a nod. "Let's get to the pond and sit first." She said, seeing the pond in the distance.
The family walked down the path and approached a nearby bench.
"...Ummm Cristina…honey? We have something…difficult to tell you." Moxxie spoke, rubbing his wig covered horn self consciously as Cristina raised an eyebrow.
"...Difficult?" She asked as Millie nodded. "Yeah…welll…it's about…us… your father and I." She said as Cristina smiled.
"Oh..is it about how you two are demons? Yeah, I already knew that. I can see the horns and red skin, I'm not blind."
"…"
"…"
"…Loona was right, we DO need magic disguises." Moxxie said with a dejected sigh as Cristina giggled as she hugged them both. "But I could care less if you two weren't demons, I'm just glad there was someone out there that…..that wanted me." She said, crying small tears of joy as the two Imp's smiled and hugged her back… but the happy moment was cut short from the sounds of thunder rumbling.
"Uh oh rain! Looks like we gotta cut our day short, Ya'll." Millie said, now sounding irritated as the rain very quickly started to come down and pelt them. "Let's run for the bus, it should be showing up near the entrance in a few minutes!" Moxxie spoke as his phone rang and he raised an eyebrow seeing it was from Blitzo.
"Hmmmmmm….he can handle whatever it is he can handle." He shrugged, placing his phone back in his pocket.
*Speaking of Blitzo let's go and see WHY he was calling Moxxie shall we?*
"Pick up the phone already, you worthless sack of shit!" Blitzo shouted as he was sent to voicemail. "Fuck it, I'm calling his wife!" He growled while pacing across the living room. Meanwhile, Lincoln was in the bathroom getting ready for a shower to destress, making sure to check every nook and cranny of the bathroom, locking the door and blocking off the window.
"Alright…all I have to do is take a simple shower, that's it!" He sighed as he heard a knock at the bathroom door. "Lincy? Could you get the mail please?" Leni asked.
"Sure thing Leni!" He called back. "Okay, mail first, THEN shower!" He said before leaving the bathroom, but not before flushing the toilet, just in case one of them just so happened to have decided to hide in there.
"Alright, just there and back. At most this should take like 15 or 20 seconds. You can do this, Lincoln." He said to himself and he gripped the front door's knob and carefully looked around and saw nothing.
'Okay…coast is clear." He muttered as he quickly dashed over to the mailbox, quickly opened it, grabbed its contents and made a mad dash back…
"Lincoln!" The Cherubs exclaimed, appearing before him halfway up the drivewat.
"UGH FUCK FUCK FUCKING SHIT! LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE, YOU WORTHLESS SIX PIECE CHICKEN MCNOBODIES!"
"…Well that was rude…" Cletus muttered when…
*BANG*
"GAH!" He screamed out in pain as Blitzo shot him in the wing, grounding him. "Aaahhhh, that…felt…gooooooood…" The Imp said running up to Lincoln. "You okay kid?"
"Yeah, thanks Blitzo, go ahead and finish them off!" Lincoln smiled as Cletus raised his hand. "WAIT! Lincoln please! We're just trying to help you!" He pleaded as Colin and Keenie helped him up as Niffty poked her head out the front window and smiled. "Ooooh! Violence!" She said, pulling out popcorn and enjoying the show as Lincoln heard the rest of his family coming outside and saw Loona poking her head up from the couch.
"Help me!? You three assmunchers have been harassing me for the past six months making me look crazy! How many times do I need to say it?! I DON'T WANT OR NEED YOUR FUCKING 'HELP'!" He screamed angrily as his rage caused storm clouds to slowly brew in the sky above.
Keenie gulped as she and Colin wanted to leave…but then Cletus just HAD to open his big fat mouth. "But you don't understand, it's our job to help humans like you! And these no good Imps obviously have corrupted you! Just think how great your life would be if you had all the help you could get!" Cleetus said as Lincoln rolled his eyes and was about to say something until Rita spoke up.
"Corrutped? Please, before I met this big horned bastard, my family was already batshit crazy!" She chuckled unashamedly, prompting Blitzo and the Cherubs to stare at her.
"Wait, seriously?…So mom, all this time we've-"
"Been a bunch of horny, sadistic freaks with no proper outlets? Yep! Seriously sweetie, you have my genes so it's natural you all get your libido from me as well!" She said proudly, this time prompting all of her children and husband to give her incredulous looks.
"...Huh…..that was weird." Colin muttered as Cletus rolled his eyes. "Either way, Lincoln, you gotta listen to reason!" He said as Lincoln frowned. "NO! Just leave me alone!" He said as he walked past them and headed back for the front door…when Cletus once again opened his big fat mouth.
"Why turn down the aid of divine help? It's never let anyone down before!" He said as Lincoln stopped as Blitzo looked up and saw the storm clouds get darker as rain started pelting the ground. "I'm calling Mills again." He muttered when he, and everyone else heard Lincoln quietly start snickering, only for it to turn into a full on hollow laughter which sent a chill down everyone's spines.
"...Divine help?...I've begged and pleaded for divine help once…and you turned me down…where was my divine help when my sisters made that stupid fight protocol?" He said in a cold tone, making Lori and the others look away in shame…except for Lucy, who started to get a nose bleed.
"Where was your divine help when my seven year old sister was nearly abducted by a sick pagesnt judge?!" He raised his voice as Lola shuddered in discomfort.
"Where was your divine help when I was trapped in a FUCKING mascot costume for half a FUCKING YEAR!?".. He growled as his eyes started to glow blood red and a pure black energy started to bleed off of him causing the Loud's to all step back as Lucy dropped to her knees clutching her head in pain.
"Lucy!" Lynn said, bending down to help her sister who now had blood trailing from her ears. "Lynn… everyone…run….RUN NOW!" She cried out as she saw something pulsing beneath her brothers skin as the sky nearly turned pitch black.
"WHERE WAS YOUR SO CALLED DIVINE HELP WHEN AN INNOCENT 11 YEAR OLD WAS LOCKED OUT OF HIS HOUSE AND ALMOST KILLED BY SOME DRUNK ASSHOLE WITH A SHOTGUN!" Lincoln roared demonically as his skin started to tear as his body began to quite literally grow in size, his muscle mass shifting around on his body as everyone could audibly hear his skull break as it expanded into a bloody maw of fangs as he stopped growing, his hunched back now reaching half the height of the electric poles. His hands and feet grew thick black claws as his skin started to regrow across his body and sprout pitch black fur all over as his eyes once again changed color to a cold icy blue with black sclera and white pupils.
Lincoln let out a loud demonic howl as a series of long, massive tails grew from his backside. Niffty gasped when she heard a thump behind her and saw that Loona had collapsed and, like Lucy, her nose and ears were bleeding as she fell unconscious from the pain.
"Uh oh! I gotta call some reinforcements!" She exclaimed, hopping off the couch and rushing upstairs. "Uh oh!" Cletus said as Colin and Keenie grabbed his arms and tried to fly away. "COLIN QUICK! CALL DEERIE NOW! Cletus shouted as the wolf lunged at them.
Colin pulled out a small remote and pressed a button, opening a portal to Heaven as Deerie floated out. "Heeeey oooooooh yeeeah….I thought I told you guys you were fired?" She said with her overly sweet Minnesota-like accent.
Before the Cherubs could say anything else Lincoln gave off a roared as his tails began to bulge out and a swarm of ethereal yellow chains appeared from the tips, lunged forward and skewered Cletus, much to the shock of Colin, Keenie, and even Deerie, as the chains then wrapped around their necks, strangling them in mid-air.
"EVERYONE GET IN THE FUCKING HOUSE!" Lucy yelled as Lynn helped her to her feet and they tried to run past the wolf that looked as if it was literally made of shadows, only for it to turn around and stare at them, its pupils glowing white amidst the pitch black storm.
The massive wolf gave a growl as it pulled the chains and Cherubs into its body as it turned its attention to the Louds and lunged for them with bared teeth. Lynn saw this and gasped as she pushed everyone inside of the house and quickly closed the door.
"LYNN!" Lucy shouted in fear as Lynn stood her ground.
"LINCOLN STOP! IF YOU'RE GOING TO GO AFTER ANYONE, GO AFTER ME! I WAS THE ONE THAT CAUSED THAT WHOLE THING! LEAVE THE OTHERS OUT OF IT!" She shouted with tears flowing down her face. The wolf snarled and unfurled the claws in his right paw as he raised it high and swung at her, sending her crashing into the wall, violently coughing globs of blood with several deep gashes across the front of her body.
"LYNN!" Lucy shouted as she started to cry just as Lincoln ripped the front wall of the house down and summoned the chains from his tails as the Louds all huddled together in fear.
"Kids….just know your mother and I love you all very much…so close your eyes and hope it's done fast!" Lynn Sr. whimpered fearfully as the chains lashed out at the family.
However the chains never reached as a massive black tentacle appeared from under Lincoln and grabbed him by the neck as the Louds and demons all slowly opened their eyes and saw a tall figure in front of them, obscured by the darkness Lincoln had created…save for their eerie red eyes.
"Well well, seems like I made it to this shindig just in time for the after hours event!" They spoke, their voice completely filled with static as the tentacle grabbed the chains and ripped them from the tips of the tails, making the wolf yelp in pain and growl at his new adversary.
The figure raised their finger and gave them a snap, summoning more tentacles as they grabbed Lincoln and crushed his massive wolf, knocking him out and violently slamming him into the ground as the smoke cleared.
The figure was over 7 feet tall, and had beige colored skin, a pinkish-red cropped, angled bob-cut with black tips at the ends and two large, black tipped tufts of hair extending from the top of his head, evoking the ears of a deer.
They wore a red pinstripe coat with dark-red lapels piped with white and ragged along the bottom hem. Underneath this was a bright red dress-shirt with a black cross on the chest with a black knotted bowtie with a bright red center around his collar, and long black dress pants with matching bright red cuffs. They also wore a dark-red oval-shaped monocle, rimmed with black, over their right eye, had black gloves with red at the fingertips, and black pointed-toe boots. He also carried a thin cane with a vintage style microphone attached to it.
"...L…..Lord Alastor!" Lucy and Loona gasped in shock as the Radio Demon turned to the Louds and gave a bow. "Ah, I see my reputation still precedes me even on the surface world!" His static filled voice echoed throughout the empty wet street, even with all of the rain.
"WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED HERE!?" Moxxie shouted as he and Millie had just come home (after putting a sleeping Cristina to bed) and were staring at the destruction with wide eyes.
"Oh, well it's about fucking time, Moxxie! I called you three times like half a fucking hour ago!" Blitzo snapped at his employee.
"..." Alastor just stood there and watched Blitzo chew out Moxxie as he heard a small groan coming from the unconscious wolf that was Lincoln. 'Hmm, the power I feel from this young lad is far greater than I anticipated back down in Hell.' He thought with a wide grin, showing off his razor teeth.
"YAAAY YOU CAME!" Niffty shouted as she hugged his legs, surprising the Louds. "Niffty, you called him?" Lucy asked.
"Of course! After he changed into that furry beast, I had to call the only one I could think of that could take him!" Niffty exclaimed happily as Leni ran over to the house and pulled Lynn, who had passed out from the sheer amount of pain, out from the wall. "You'll be ok, Lynn!" She told the unconscious girl while panicking at the sight of 4 large bleeding gashes across her body.
Alastor gave his microphone a tap on the ground as Lincoln's furry body was lifted up by smaller tentacles. "Now then, Loud Family I must ask you all to say your goodbyes, because I'm taking this young lad with me back to Hell." He spoke as they all gave him a shocked look. "Wh-What?!" Lucy said with wide eyes as she and many others in the family felt their hearts drop in their chests.
Alastor then felt someone tugging on his pants and looking down, he saw Lana.
"Mr. Alastor, why are you taking LIncoln away?" She asked as he bent down and patted her head. "Very astute question, young one. It's because your brother here has the potential to be Hell's most powerful Overlord, and…between you and me he's just as powerful as an angel I recently fought and…killed…" He said to Lana in a hushed tone as she gained stars in her eyes and didn't notice the hesitation of his wording. "Wow!" She said in wonder as Alastor stood back up. " Worry not, Louds, I will be returning Lincoln to you when he is good and ready to stand by my side as an equal. And let me assure you…there aren't many beings I consider to be MY equal!" He said with a wickedly cruel grin as he walked over to Lincoln's massive unconscious body. "It's been some time since I last saw a Dire Wolf, let alone one of Fenrir's children." He muttered to himself with intrigue and delight.
Lucy rubbed her shoulder nervously and hesitantly approached the Radio Demon.
"..Lord Alastor?...please if you can….help my brother…" She asked him as he turned his attention away from the boy turned wolf and onto the girl in front of him.
"Don't worry, young lady, by the time I'm done…he'll be a far different person!" He smiled as he tapped his microphone and created a massive portal in the middle of the road. "Until we meet again!" He exclaimed before lightly jumping backwards into it while the tentacles carefully dragged the massive wolf down after him, the portal closing right as his ear passed through.
Moxxie and Millie were shocked at what they just saw and Moxxie could only say one thing.
"WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED!?"
"Well, you'd know what happened if you bothered to…oh, I don't know…PICK UP THE FUCKING PHONE!" Blitzo screamed.
"I GET IT!" Moxxie snapped back, sick of his boss' yelling.
"...Well…..Looks like it's time we all head to bed, huh?" Lynn Sr. spoke as he tried to walk off. only for Loona, who was now conscious to grab his shoulder.
"Hold the fuck on, Lynn…what did Lincoln mean by…you forced him to sleep outside?" She asked with a raised eyebrow as he backed away with a nervous look on his face.
"I, uhhhh…Rita?" He said as his wife looked down with shame. "Lynn…we knew this day would come eventually…" She said with a dejected sigh as her daughters all gave shameful looks.
"...I…you're right…..alright, we'll tell you everything." He sighed as he sat on the lawn, rubbing a hand through his thinning hair. "..My mother would be so ashamed of me."
Lute was walking through the halls of her and Adam's HQ in Heaven, clutching the torn stump where her left arm used to be with a hateful glare on her face.
"Those damn freaks! I swear they'll pay…just need to make sure that bitch knows what's coming if she doesn't get her ass down there!" Lute growled as she approached a glowing door…however as she opened it, instead of finding herself on a beach, she found herself within a forest. "…What the fuck?" She questioned as some unknown force pushed her in and slammed the door behind her, startling her as it vanished completely from sight.
Lute growled as she tried to find the door…that is, until she started to hear footsteps coming from behind her.
"Lute." A deep, intimidating voice growled as she froze in place. Lute could practically feel the rage and venom being held back in the voice as she forced herself to turn around, coming face to face with a massive 3 story wolf with pitch black fur and deathly green eyes glaring at her.
Seeing who it was caused the angel to drop to her knees. "..L…Lord Fenrir?" she gulped, her voice dripping with fear as she realized the deity was slowly forming aspects of its true form before her. "You have a lot of nerve waltzing back up here after what you and your lot did with Adam."
"B..but Sir! You have to understand what those…THINGS are doing, it's…i-"
"SILENCE ANGEL!" He bellowed as she fell backwards onto her back as she saw his fur pulse with specks of blood colored energy as the fur on his paws started to turn white like snow.
"...Adam was a prideful, gluttonous fool!...Lute, did you or him ever think to simply ask either my family or myself what WE thought of Princess Charlotte's plan of redeeming Sinners?" He asked, narrowing his eyes as Lute was baffled. "...But…But…Adam, he told me…you all rejected the idea…" She stammered, only now considering the possibility that Adam had lied to them…lied to HER about the yearly Extermination being approved by the higher ups.
Fenrir gave a growl as his body started to glow and his body grotesquely shifted to a more humanoid form as he still towered over Lute. The light died down as Lute gave a gasp from seeing Fenrir's human form, as he was the spitting image of Adam himself, minus the oversized robes and with green eyes.
"That worthless fool I'm forced to call a son didn't tell any of us what he did! The only thing he said was that Lucifer rejected his daughter's idea!" He said as Lute slowly backed away in fear and shock. "Lord Fenrir please I…I didn't know! He…he lied to me!" She tried to explain as Fenrir snapped his fingers and summoned chains of pure light from the sky which tied her up. "That may be true…but even if you knew he lied…you would've still gone along with whatever he said…wouldn't you?" He asked with narrowed eyes as he grabbed her by the chin and watched her struggle in the chains.
"Listen here, Lute…from now on, Sera and Emily are in charge, with Sera on thin ice for going along with it. And YOU are hereby stripped of your position as head angel." He said coldly, making her eyes widen as she struggled harder to try and break free. "N-No! You can't!" She exclaimed as he gave a cold smirk. "Actually I can…after all…I am my older brother's favorite." He said as he plunged his hand into her chest.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" Lute screamed bloody murder as she felt her entire body being drained of energy as her already pale skin began to get paler from having her heavenly light sucked out of her body, the halo above her head stopped shining and her remaining wing started to crumble to dust as her halo fell to the ground. Fenrir removed his hand and pulled out a golden white heart before placing it into his pocket as he threw her to the ground.
"...w…..what…di….did you…do to me!?" She growled weakly. "I removed your power…from now on, the only power you will receive will be from your new master… a human." He said, snarling the last two words with a malicious grin.
"What? NO! I refuse to serve a lowly human! You can't do this to me!" She exclaimed.
"I JUST DID!" He roared, the forest shaking at his words as a massive soul chain erupted from the ground and clasped itself around her neck, forming a collar as a piece of paper made of energy formed in front of Fenrir. "Oh look at that! Your soul contract! It'd be an awful shame if I were to…write down who owns you now." He smirked as Lute tried and tried and failed to use her remaining arm to rip off the chain as Fenrir had a pen appear out of thin air and teasingly moved it closer to the paper.
"No...NO!" Lute yelled as Fenrir wrote down the name on the contract. "...There…you are now the prosperity of Lincoln Loud…after he gets done being trained by the Radio Demon, you will appear as a show of fealty for the new young Overlord." Fenrir said as Lute dropped to her knees. "Until then, you will stay here and simmer in your misery… and Lute?...if I learn you were planning something behind our backs… we'll know…" Fenrir spoke as he disappeared, leaving Lute all alone in the dark forest as she fell over on her side in a fetal position and slowly started to cry for the first time in her immortal life. 'How…How did things end up like this? It was all going so well…We were doing so well…how could this have happened?…I don't think things could get any lower than this for me…I swear Adam…I swear you'll be avenged, and all of those filthy demons and Sinners will pay!
The crimson skies of the Pride Ring were lightened by thunder, a rare occurrence in Hell, as Sinners fell from the sky and crashed into the ground. One particular Sinner landed on a mountain miles outside of Pentagram City and was currently eating dirt.
"Ugh…what the absolute fuck?...Lute?...Lute!?...where the fuck am I?" He spat out as he dusted off his clothes, just barely registering the distant gunfire going off in the city behind him, snapping him out of his stupor as he turned to face the city, catching sight of a massive building that shined brightly in the distance. The Sinner then looked down and saw his clothes were now completely different from what he knew he was wearing before he died, now consisting of shorts and a Metallica t-shirt. His mind went into overdrive as he faced the camera and barely managed to get out two single words in complete disbelief.
"...…Oh poop…"
Hooo boy, that was….nuts, huh? In case you guys were curious, Lincoln trapped the Cherubs and Deerie in a pocket dimension, they weren't eaten like Chandler and his family were. Plus, we got a small wholesome moment with Cristina! And what's this? Lute's being made into Lincoln's slave? What a shock! And Adam is alive! Just a heads up we won't see Adam again for a long while, why? We wanna wait until season 2 drops before we bring him back into the plot. And we dropped another bombshell; Fenrir is Adam's father! Even though Adam is…err…was the first man, he had to be modeled after someone, and that someone was Fenrir who was made Adam's father because of it. Anyways guys, the next set of chapters we have after the next chapter will NOT feature Lincoln at all. He'll come back later as next time, the moment you were all waiting for, a moment that we teased last year, one that'll shake up the way you see the louds in this story next time: The NSL Incident.
