Episode 28: Hidden Agenda

We start off inside of a regular building attending a Science Expo in Royal Woods, where we see all the greatest mind from around the world from the youngest to the oldest arrived to presented their inventions. Today's theme of this years science expo was 'Peace Through Science'. Whoever not only win the science expo to earn a gold trophy and well check, but savior to the world. And of course Lisa is attended to it bringing her invention of hers. Her siblings are also here to support her.

"Man look at all these brainiacs," Lynn said looking around.

"Wow. Science is so amazing." Cthylla in her human form said.

"It can, but sometimes science can turn people to supervillains and the used the technology to take over the world." Lana added.

"Oh."

"You sure you're not nervous?" Lincoln asked Lisa.

"Nervous? Preposterous. If I were 'nervous', my body would be leaking fluids out of my palms or forehead." Lisa said wiping her sweat.

"So why are you sweating?" Lana pointed.

"The heat." Lisa lied.

"Or maybe it's my present."

The gang turn and see David, Lisa's friend and her secret crush.

Lisa and David handshake.

"Nice to you attend here again." Lisa smiled.

"I wouldn't missed it even though I lose several times." David respond with a smile too.

"What's your latest invention?" Lisa asked.

David chuckles a bit. "Sorry, Lisa. But I'm saving it for the judges to see. I better had make to my booth will talk later." David said as he leaves.

Lisa continues looking at David and then turn to her siblings with a smile on their face. "What?"

"You should literally tell him how you feel." Lori said.

"I-I have no time for that." Lisa nervously said with a blush.

"You have the time in the world at yet you still haven't make a move." Lola crossed her arms.

"When the time comes, I'll talk him."

"You promise?"

"I promise, Leni."

"Well, well, well. Little missed prodigy is all here too."

The gang turn to a old man with curly, balding hairstyle, long white beard, as well as a curly thick mustache and being slightly pudgy with a white lab coat, a blue dress shirt and green tie, dark blue pants, and gray loafers. His name is Dr. Albert Wright and he has been a rival to Lisa on every science expo for sometime.

"Albert. Are you ready to be beaten by me again?" Lisa asked him with a smug.

"Don't get too cute, girl. You may have beaten me in the past, but this time I've prepared that could help mankind."

Lisa sighed. "Let me guess...robotics?"

"HA! Very funny. You'll see when the judges see my creation, and I become the world's savior. But without a little bit of bragging of course." Dr. Wright laughed.

"Don't you got somewhere else to be, old man." Lynn said.

"I do actually. And it's more important than standing to talk to, you apes." Dr. Wright grins as he leaves.

"Important place?" Cthylla confused.

"The 'important pace' he refers is the Men Restroom. He has bladder problem." Lisa tells her.

"Gross." Cthylla disgusted.

Now, the expo had started as the three of the judges began their judgement. Most inventions they've seen are either good but not ground worthy, mediocre, terrible and have nothing to do with theme of the expo. The judges stop at David's large booth and asked them on what you've bring for this expo.

"Certainly." David open up his lab coat showing them his tentacles which are mechanical. The arms are attached to attached to a stainless steel harness encircling his body from lower chest to waist.

Lisa from the distance saw it and is very impressed.

"With the neural link connected to my brain, these strong mechanical arms will be very useful for mankind. Imagine a catastrophic event happen, these arms will quickly respond to defend yourself or anyone you cared. Go ahead. Throw something at me." One of the judge throw a pen at him but David's arms quickly respond to smack the pen away. Next, he uses two of his arms to lift up a big rock, and a car engine. "The arms can also lift heavy material like if anyone either get trap in a cavern, give a extra hand or tentacles to construct buildings or houses without losing power." Then, he uses the other two arms to quickly build a bird house. For a minute of a half, he's done showing a nice and fancy bird house. "With the help of the neural link connected to my brain,

"Hmm sounds like a military weapon." Judge 1 said looking at one of the tentacles.

"But will see." Judge 2 said.

The judges move on to the next booth. The next booth is Dr. Wright and he brought a ten year old little boy with him for his booth.

"I don't see it."

"He's right here," Dr. Wright turns and look down on to his son. "Go ahead."

Little boy nod to his father as he began transforming into a skintight bodysuit with large rounded coverings on the lower arms and legs, and typical 'superhero briefs'. His primary color is light red with a dark red 'trim' (his arms, legs, helmet and 'briefs'). His helmet has a raised light blue square in the forehead and a light blue ridge running straight back from the square, resembling an exclamation mark. His helmet also features round light blue sections with red circles in the center over his ears. He also has red circles in his Arm Cannon and below his feet.

"Behold! Hero Lad: The Super Fighting Robot Boy! His unique abilities and with the equipped of his arm cannon can perform great in dangerous mission without having to risk fellow solider."

"Dr. Wright, we told you before that this is a peace fair, not a fair to bring in weapons for military purpose." Judge 1 said.

"Come back next year and this time, Dr. Wright. "Bring peace." Judge 2 said.

The judges leaves as Dr. Wright growls silently.

Few booths later, they finally reach to Lisa. "Okay, Lisa. What do you bring to show us?"

"Judges, I bring you..." Lisa removed the sheet to show them to be heavy gray blankets. "Gravity blankets."

Judge 3 looks at the blanket and is not impressed. "They look like regular blankets."

"You may think they are, but once you've experience this, you won't be saying that these are no ordinary blank."

Judge 3 climb into bed as Lisa cover her with her gravity blanket. At first nothing really spectacular is happening until she started to get really, really comfortable as she moans happily. "This feels so good. It's like all my stress have been wipe away."

Lisa smiled to explain. "That because Gravity is to help with your stress. This creates a therapeutic weighted blanket engineered to be around 10% of your body weight. The super comfy blanket helps those who have a sleeping problem, who may be stressed, or deal with anxiety."

Judges are impressed of this.

Judge got out of the be feeling so much relax after that. "This could really help with my husband's stress problem." She said.

Later, everyone is already gathered as the judges had finished there checking on every booth and are ready to declare this years winner. "We made our decision! The winner of this years science expo...is Lisa Loud!"

Loud sisters, Lincoln, and Cthylla gasped and cheered on Lisa, and to congrats to her. The other scientists including David claps for her except for Dr. Wright who's pissed of that she won again.

Lisa walk up to the stadium and claim her trophy. "Ladies and gentlemen of the Royal Wood's science expo. I want to thank my sibling units, my allies for the assists of the creation I'm bringing to help people with their problems..."

Suddenly, three men armed with assault rifles kick down the door and open fire on the ceiling. "ON THE GROUND NOW!"

Everyone quickly does so. As Lisa is about to do so, she was stop when the crooks aim their guns at Lisa forcing her not move.

"No you, Lisa loud! We want you dead!" He said cocked his gun.

"I-I don't understand. Why?"

"For being such a winner all time. So long kid because this is the last time you ever win."

"Cthylla, quickly mess around there head." Lincoln whispered to Cthylla.

Cthylla tries to used her powers but it's not working. "I-I can't get into their heads. Somethings wrong."

As they're about to open fire on Lisa, one of men got wrapped up by a rope and is dragged revealing to be Wild Card Wily. Two men quickly turn and ready to shoot wily, but two cards knock there guns from their hands as it reveal to be One-Eyed Jack who jumps in grapple the two up. Lincoln, and the others including are relief that they show up in a nick of time.

Later, the police arrived arresting the three taking them into the police car, police officers investing the expo, and One-Eyed Jack and Wild Card Wily checking on Lisa who's she with her family and her friend David.

"Thanks, guys." Lincoln smiled.

"Yeah it's a good thing we just happen to spotted a speeding car heading towards here." One-Eyed Jack said.

Commissioner Grouse came to check on Lisa and the rest.

"Are you alright, Lisa?"

"I've been through worse."

"You might want to give something that we need. On like why those men know you and want to kill you."

"Mr. Grouse, I'm a respectful and well established scientist in Royal Woods, I never had any enemies."

"Except for Dr. Wright."

Lisa glared at Cthylla.

"Sorry."

"Well, we're going to take them to HQ for interrogation. But I have a feeling that there will be more of these punks."

Lisa then spoke. "If you're planning to give me witness protection, I'll have to decline that."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. I'll be fine." Lisa said. But in reality, she's not.

Later, Lisa, her family, and Cthylla drive home in the family van.

"When we get home, we'll get to the bottom of this." Lori said.

"We face criminals in our tights, so I don't get why their is someone after Lisa." Lynn said.

"Another question. Why didn't I read their minds? It's like I'm being blocked." Cthylla said rubbing her head.

"That's where going to find out. But we need clues." Lincoln said.

Lucy turn and noticed Lisa is staring at the window thinking about about what happen. "Lisa?"

"Huh?"

"Are you alright?"

"Yes, Lucy, I'm fine. Lori, I require to listen some music."

"Of course." Lori play a music for Lisa to love. This song is a classical which made the others except for Cthylla groan for it as Lisa smiled enjoying it. Things are alright now until the song stop for some reason. "Huh?" Lori play the music again but not playing so she'll try to switch on the radio, but it's a static noise.

"Something wrong?" Lisa asked Lori.

"Radio is busted. I'll have to get it fix later." Lori said. She then spotted a stop sign as she's about to stop her van, but the van speeds up passing by the stop sign. "What the?!"

"Dude!" Luna yelled.

"That wasn't me!" Lori tries to put on the breaks but it's not working. "Something is wrong with the break!"

Suddenly the doors loudly lock. All systems on the control panel flash on by themselves. The engine cacophonously VROOMS. Lynn pounds her fist into a van window to no effect. "No way! I could have easily punch through it!"

But an anonymous voice appeared in the radio. "Greetings, Lisa. Sorry to interrupting your calming music, but I want to congrats on your award at the science expo. So I bring in a group of people to cheer on to your victory, which failed. Luckily, I had a backup plan for celebration by doing some tweek into your precious. Sorry that your siblings has to get involved but I can't risk them getting in my way. Enjoy. Because this is the last thing you'll get from me."

The vehicle thunders forward, slamming their backs. Blasts from an alley, freaking out homeless people, and makes a wild turn into the street.

"What are we going to do?! I'm too cute to die!" Lola screamed.

"Poo-poo!" Lily cried.

Lincoln quickly got an idea. "I'll see if I could stop it!" He tears off a shard of his console, rips and tug at various wires but nothing happen.

The van, blasting up the block. It's plowing stopped cars out of its path onto the sidewalk, where some crash through storefronts.

"Lisa, scan the van!" Lincoln said.

Lisa uses her glasses to scan every bit of the van and found a device beneath the van. "I found the cause. Lynn, it's underneath you."

"Right!" Lynn kicks the floor of the van to leave a hole and reach to grab it. "Got it!"

"Dude! Watch it!" Luna pointed the front window.

Everyone turn and gasped. The Van spectacularly angles right at a wall. Lori put both feet on the break pedal as it squeaks to a sudden dead halt, centimeters before crashing through the wall at a alley. The gang panted.

"I think I'm going to stick with walking." Leni said shaking up a bit.

Lisa took the control device from Lynn and looks at it. "Hmm."

The next day, David head over to Lisa's home to visit. He rang the doorbell and waited for someone to open the door.

Luan answered the door. "Hey, David."

"Hi, Luan. Is Lisa here?"

Luan smiled. "She is. Come inside."

David walks in.

"LISA! YOUR BOYFRIEND IS HERE!" Luan giggles as she leaves.

Lisa came downstairs and gasped to see David as she blushed to see him. "D-David. It's good to see you. Forgive my older unit, she loves to talk nonsense."

David chuckles. "Don't worry about it. So how are you holding?"

"Fine. Even though someone control the van."

"What?!"

"You don't have to worry."

"I have to. Whoever this person is had some agenda towards you and won't stop until your dead." David said getting worried.

Lisa hold his hand. "Trust me. I'll be fine."

David smiled.

The two look at each other for a sec. Lisa need to come up with something to end this awkward moment. "I see you're still have your mechanical arms."

"Oh. Y-yeah. I was working on something at my lab and forgot to take it off."

"May I see it?"

"Sure." He opens his lab coat and four arms slowly coming out as they surrounded Lisa.

Lisa looks at the arms and even examined one of them as well. "Mostly stunned. The metal for these arms...Titanium-steel?"

"That's right. Worth every penny." David grins.

"Fascinating." Lisa smiled looking at the arms.

"Thank you. These arms are like my own siblings." David sighed.

"Single child?"

David nod. "But it's alright. Hey, um, do you want to go somewhere?"

"Where?"

"Anywhere. Places that you love."

Lisa smiled. "Sure."

Elsewhere, at Royal Woods Police Department, Commissioner Grouse had Ace, One-Eyed Jack, Eight of Spades, and Night Club in his office and tells them what happen.

"They what?"

"You heard me. When were about to interrogate them, they explode into pieces in their cells...machine pieces." Commissioner Grouse said stilling wondering what just happen.

One-Eyed Jack surprised of this. "So their freaking robots?!"

"Twisted." Night Club said.

"Afraid so. Whoever build them must not want us to find out."

"Hmm. Will it be alright we take one of the robots. Will see if we can fine any clues."

"Be my guess, Ace. One more thing."

"Yeah?"

"Find the bastard before he's going do something worst."

Ace nod.

Later at the Ace Cave, Ace using a big microscope machine to look into these remains. Along in the cave are Cthylla, Eight of Spades, Strong Suit, Night Club, Joker, One-Eyed Jack, Wild Card Willy, The Deuce, Queen of Diamonds, Royal Flush, and Eleven of Hearts who are standing behind Ace as they waited for the result.

"That explains why I couldn't read their thoughts. I thought they have some protection or something." Cthylla said.

"Do you think Dr. Kuttler returns?"

"If he did return, Lana. Then, why does he wants to kill Lisa and not the rest of us?" Queen of Diamonds questioned.

"I think that's likely make no sense since his motive is revenge for what happen to Card Countess." Eight of Spades said.

"Wait. I found something."

"What is it?" Wild Card Willy asked.

"There's a tiny print on a circuit chip saying 'DRW'. Anyone know who's is 'DRW'."

Eleven Of Hearts gasped. "I know! My doctor Dr. Williams."

Everyone looking at Leni with a 'what?' look on their faces.

"Um no, Leni. It's Dr. Wright." Ace corrected her.

"Oh. That's also my second thought."

"I'll informed Lori to keep an eye on Lisa; in the meantime we're going to visit the good doctor."

Meanwhile with Lisa, the two are happily walking down the street. Lisa as always focusing on her experiments, project, and superhero life but now she has finally have time to hang out with David. Yes, it is very uninteresting that we look the same and even love the same but there's some charm inside of him and unique on how he worry so. The place I wanted to go with him is the Planetarium.

"I still think this is bad idea."

"It's going to be fine. We're almost there."

As the two almost reach the planetarium, the two felt a shake. A earthquake?. Impossible. Royal Woods never witness any earthquake before. This all reveals when a giant tentacle rises out but it's all robotic and comes up to he surface to be a robot with six arms.

David now terrified. "WHAT THE HELL?!"

The robot looks down and swat David away with one of his tentacle.

"David!"

The robot extended it's tentacles and makes its move as they about strike on her, but six tentacles were slice in half. It was High Card who saved Lisa and just in time too. "Run!" High Card shout to Lisa.

Lisa rush over to get David. "Are you okay?"

David groans in pain. "The monster damage are mechanical arm and my ribs.

"I'm sorry, I should have listen to you," Lisa tries to help him up. "I'm taking to you to the hospital."

"No...No hospitals. I need to get home. Please." David weakly said.

Lisa hopes he knows what he's doing. "Okay." She had his arm wrap around her neck to carry him and ran off to David's house away from the fight.

High Card quickly flip and dodge every attack from; she grapples up to his head and used her sword to stab it on its head as sparks sizzle and it's eyes glow bright. The robot collapsed just as High Card jump of it and landed safety on the ground. A second quake happen as two more robots came to the surface. "Seriously?" High Card gets in position and charged towards them.

Over at Dr. Wright labs, he's struggling to sketch a perfect design for next year peace project. But everytime he tries, it ended up to look like military weapon as he scrapped it. *sigh*.

"Dr. Wright."

Dr. Wright turn quickly as he see Ace Savvy and The Full House Gang. "How did you get in here?!"

Wild Card Willy wrap him around using his rope. "We're the one asking the questions here." He said.

"Mind explaining this." Ace shows the circuit chip up to the scientist's face.

"Wait. This is mine. How did you-"

"The robots attacked the expo and tries to kill a girl name Lisa Loud, and we found a chip which marks by your prints." One-Eyed Jack pointed at him.

"What?! You think I'm trying to kill her?!"

Eight of Spades hold out of her shovel and aim it to his. "What I hate is someone lying for killing someone."

"I swear I would never do something like that! Just because I don't like her, doesn't mean I want her dead."

Strong Suit cracks her knuckles. "Yeah, right."

"No. He's telling the truth. I've scan his heart rate and their steady."

Wild Card Willy let go of him.

"Alright, then how did someone get your tech, dude?" Night Club asked.

"The only other person I know of it's...son of a BITCH!"

"Tell us everything." Ace said.

Meanwhile, Lisa have taken David to his home that looks like mansion and down to his room, pull down a book from the left center from the bookshelf which opens an elevator that leads them to his lab. Beneath his room is super huge I mean it look like Dexter's Laboratory but not like a city type thing which made Lisa's jealous every time she comes here, but right she can't worry that as she lay him down to the med bay as he still groan in pain.

"I still don't get why won't you let me take to the hospital, or at least me take a look at you."

"I have equipment that will heal me right up." David smiled.

Lisa got a text from her phone. "Excuse me I need to check this quick." She turn away from him to read the text and as she reads it, Lisa shocked the reveal so she quickly text the address to Lincoln and how to get into David's secret lab, and then turn back to David. She couldn't believe it. Her heart got shattered into tiny pieces and you think she's going to cry about this, but no she has to play cool and my tried to get out of here without him noticing.

"Who was that?"

Lisa lied. "An emergency family meeting. I'll be back to check on you." Then, Lisa got wrap around by a tentacle.

David got on his feet with a serious look on his face and plus he looks extremely fine. "So, you know."

Lisa tries to lie again. "N-no, I don't understand what you're talking about."

"DON'T LIE TO ME! I bet Ace Savvy text you about what I did."

Lisa nodded.

"I thought so." He said as he uses his other tentacle to crush her phone.

Lisa look into David's eyes with sadness and all she could do is asked him. "Why?"

"Simple. I hate you. I hate everything about you since the day we meet. You're always smarter than me as you steal the attention from me and always win every prizes from expo as I deal with family matter."

*FLASHBACK*

David is silent with his head down in his room as he holds a second place trophy, he turn when he sees his disappointing father who looks like him but his glasses his small.

"Second place again, son?"

David nod.

The father sighed in disappointment. "How unfortunate. Why do constantly keep shaming this family? I thought maybe when your mother committed suicide do to your failer last year, you'll get your head straight. I guess not."

David still remains silent.

"Nothing to say? Shame," The father is about to leave not before he said. "Fix this next year, or I'll fix you." He close the door behind him.

David in a fuel of rage, throws his second trophy to the computer.

"I work hard and tried to gain respect to my father, but I always come second or last by you. It was enough to drive me mad. If I can't beat you next year, then I'll have to eliminate you.

Dr. Wright's Lab...

"Later that month, Dr. Wright was kind of him to show me his invention for next years expo. The fool got distracted by his ego then he doesn't even know I copy his information from his hard drive as I quickly leave his lab. So, I got to work while I work on my next year expo project until the day is come."

*FLASHBACK ENDED*

"But since Ace Savvy and his pack kept ruining my plans, I'll have to change my plans. And you'll be here to witness." David cackles as he watches Lisa struggles to break free.

Meanwhile with High Card, she finally destroyed the two robots with her costume torn a bit and a few bruises. Suddenly, she got a call from Lincoln. "Sorry, Ace. These robots...wait what?! Okay, I'm on my way and I'll bring the Van to pick you up." She said as she quickly hang up and ran.

The rest of The Full House arrived to David's house after getting passed their security systems. His house is pretty big almost like a mansion since this is the first time they came to his house, but that doesn't matter to them as Ace climb up to his window and open it as he enter his room his room. The rest of his team grapple up to his room one by one.

"No sign of Lisa." Eleven of Hearts said as she looks around.

"Dr. Wright said that he has lab beneath his room. So let's find a switch or-

The Full House Gang suddenly got drop down like an elevator beneath their feet as they screamed all the way down to David's lab.

David with a smirks is standing and behind him is Lisa who's locked up in an electric cage with bars sizzling. "No need. I've invited you all here since I was already expect you heroes would show up to save this little prodigy."

The Full House recovers from their 'ride'.

Ace spoke. "Why David? I thought you and Lisa are friends."

"Or more than just friends!" Eleven of Hearts added. "You were cute together."

"Like I have romantic interested to the girl who've beaten me every year. The world is going to see a true scientist, but first, I'm going get rid of you, and then I'll end Lisa for good."

Strong Suit crack her knuckles. "You're going to get it, four eyes!"

"Not if you beat my robots first." David removes his lab coat to show The Full House his mechanical arms, but that's not the surprised because the real surprised is when David press a button on his waist. The same bunch of robots that High Card fought earlier but their in a regular size. "Good luck." The robots dash towards The Full House as they begins to attack while The Full House Gang dodges.

"You can't be seriously." Strong Suit throws a punch but it's block by it's force shield. "What the hell?! That's cheating!" Strong Suit then got smack away by it's tentacle.

The rest of time are now fully aware of their force field so all they could do is dodge their attacks until the come up with a plan.

Lisa turn to David. "David, please. Stop this."

"You'll be next too, Lisa. Just have to wait for my robots finished of The Full House." David said as he press a button.

One of the robot wrapped around Eight of Spades and The Joker and slam them together.

Night Club played a sound vibration but only knock back the robot as another robot from behind grab her guitar and break it into half, and smack her.

The Twins are running away from the robot as it chased after them while trying to kill them.

Lisa couldn't stand their being helpless while her siblings are about to get killed. The control for the robots are attached to his to waist; she'll try to hack into and see she could shut down them down. "Crap." Lisa thought. It's encrypted. Her siblings just to need to hang on just a bit because this is going to take a while.

Ace and One-Eyed Jack dodge every tentacle attack.

"We can't keep this up forever." One-Eyed Jack said while dodging.

Ace then soon noticed when he saw David pressing buttons on his waist. Looks like he got the same idea as Lisa. "Keep this robot busy, bro. I'll try get the control from David."

"Got it." One-Eyed Jack said.

Ace slip away from the robot as One-Eyed Jack get the robot to stay focused on him and dash towards David. Unfortunately, David's arms react and wrap his arms Ace before he could do anything.

Lisa stop encrypting when she her brother got caught. "Ace!"

David chuckles lightly. "Nice try, Ace. You have to do better than that if you want to stop me."

Ace struggles to break free.

"Time to rip you apart."

Ace manage to slip out a ace card from his left sleeve and drop it in front of David.

"Pathetic." David said.

The card explode a flash onto David's eyes as he cried out in pain. Next, Ace used his body to swing himself to bring down to kick him with both feet slamming him against the electric cage as he screamed agony. The strong does of electricity cause the connection to his back fused with his spine and the neural link to it short circuit. It was enough to knock him out for good. And because of that, the robots stop moving and the electricity to the cage disappear. Strong Suit broke off the gate for Lisa.

"I always hoping you two be a cute couple." Eleven of Hearts said.

The Full House look down on the unconscious David as smoke coming out of his back.

Later, the polices and paramedics arrived outside of David's house, David still unconscious and his arms still attached are taking to an ambulance as Lisa and The Full House Gang watched but then Full House turn to Lisa as she looks fine but doubtful.

"Are you going to be okay?" Ace asked Lisa, concerning her.

"Yes. I'm fine. Just fine."

Later at that night at the Loud house, Lisa is in her bed looking at a photo of her and David doing chemistry together on her phone. It breaks her heart that the boy she secretly have a crush on wanted to kill her of jealously. Lisa sobbed a bit and deleted the photo and went to bed trying to forget the time they share together.

At the Hospital, David is in his bed with special tools from the hospital that holds all of David's mechanical arms. The boy is still unconscious and even his is, his arms aren't. They slowly staring moving on their own.

Trivia:

1. Hero Lad and Dr. Wright are parody of Mega Man and Dr. Light with a bit Dr. Wily.

2. David's arms strikes similar to Doctor Octopus.
