Later that night, the meeting was held at the Royal Woods Mall auditorium. The room was packed, and those who couldn't be there in person were Live-streaming from home. The Louds, Ronnie Anne, and Bobby Santiago were sitting in the front, with Lincoln's friends sitting behind them. Lincoln was on stage in his hero suit, defending himself. To nobody's shock, Chandler was also on stage advocating for Lincoln to be given to Cierra.
"Take it in, Lame; this will be the last time you'll see this town," Chandler mocked.
"We'll see about that, shit face,"
Chandler's face turned red when he was reminded of this morning. Chandler composed himself before noticing Ronnie Anne, and Stella and shooting them a flirtatious wink. The ladies responded by giving him the finger; however, they weren't the only ones; all of Lincoln's sisters did the same, along with Bobby.
"I think they're starting to like you," Lincoln mocked.
"I'm gonna stomp that little turd's nuts into a paste for this," growled Lynn Jr.
"Save some for the rest of us," said Ronnie Anne.
"What does he think this is going to accomplish?" Stella asked. "He's done some pretty rotten things to piss off Lincoln, but this is a whole new level,"
"Based on the psychological profile I built on that clod, he believes that eliminating Lincoln will somehow cause you and Ronnie Anne to fall in love with him. Like a lion who kills off the preexisting offspring to free up the other lionesses to have his own." Lisa said.
"That jerk never showed any interest in me, even when I lived in Royal Woods, until after puberty hit," Ronnie Anne commented.
"It's not just his perverse physical attraction to you and Stella; he wants the satisfaction of taking you from Lincoln. He's obsessed with making Lincoln miserable by proving who's better, and what better way to hurt him than by taking things he cares about most?"
"The jerk is rich, and all he can think about is making our brother miserable?" Luna asked.
"I guess Lincoln has something Chandler can't buy, which drives him crazy," Rusty said.
"That is literally pathetic,"
Onstage, Chandler continued trying to get a rise out of Lincoln.
"By the way, that outfit is ridiculous, but then again, you're wearing it; I'd probably look better. I'd look better in anything you're wearing,"
"Funny, Ronnie Anne thinks it looks cool on me,"
"That's because she feels sorry for you; why else would she date a loser like you when I'm so much better?"
"Jealous?"
"Hardly, once you're gone, she'll finally see what a real man can do for her, and then it's straight to pound town,"
"Keep dreaming; you'll only be a chauvinistic, narcissistic, sexist, perverted pig wrapped in toxic masculinity piece of shit to her that's fixated on me."
Chandler glared and gritted his teeth. "I am not fixated on you!"
"Then why are you trying to one-up me? For that matter, why not go for other girls like Jordan or Christine? It's because they aren't into me. Face it, Chandler, if Ronnie Anne, and Stella weren't my friends, they'd be invisible to you, wouldn't they? You care more about making me miserable than you do about them. That's being fixated, no matter what you call it."
Chandler was about to say something back when suddenly, the mayor came on stage, calling the meeting to order.
"Ladies and gentlemen of Royal Woods, I know this is a controversial topic, but our town has been threatened by supernatural forces twice in the last couple of days, and we need to discuss the best way to protect our town moving forward, Mr. McCann you have the floor first,"
"Thank you, Mr. Mayor, my fellow citizens of Royal Woods; as our mayor has already pointed out, we've been threatened twice by supernatural forces, and while it may seem that Lincoln Loud and his friends are the reason we survived, that is not true,"
"What the hell is this guy saying?" Lola thought.
"It was our unity as a community that helped us survive, while Lincoln Loud was not only the root cause of those events but also caused wanting destruction to our community due to his refusal to fulfill the obligation he and his parents most likely promised to King Gideon,"
"How dare you!? You lying little piece of!" Yelled Rita.
"Mrs. Loud, this is your first and only warning!" The mayor replied.
"Now, before I was so rudely interrupted, this entire situation is Lincoln's fault, all because he's strung along a princess from another world despite having a beautiful girlfriend at home," Chandler said, winking at Ronnie Anne, who replied with a hand gesture that implied he had a small dick. "Ahem, I asked you, my fellow citizens of Royal Woods, are you willing to risk the lives of yourselves and your families for the life of one person who refuses to clean up the mess he made? It's time for us to unite as a community and turn him over to Cierra and preserve our lives,"
"Thank you, Mr. McCann, Mr. Loud, you have the floor now,"
"Thank you, sir; you know Chandler, I'm not too surprised about what you said, considering you're the guy who constantly spends his birthdays at a sewage plant every year; I'm not too surprised you're familiar with all kinds of shit even the bull-shit that constantly comes out of your mouth," Lincoln roasted, causing people in the audience to laugh. "Ladies and gentlemen, you all heard the story of my situation; I never intended any of this to follow me back; I never wanted to be some other world hero; I was kidnapped in the middle of the night and almost forced to be a tool so that a corrupt Kingdom can maintain power over other kingdoms,"
"So you say," Chandler said.
"Mr. McCann, Mr. Loud said nothing during your statement. Please show him the same courtesy,"
"Now, before I was so rudely interrupted, I've been forthcoming about everything, including my powers,"
"Why don't you give us all the powers so we can defend ourselves?" Someone called out.
"Because it's dangerous just to give them out; would you want a guy like Chandler to have powers? The same guy who flaunts his Daddy's money like it's his, who probably made a pass at your sister or girlfriend at some point?"
"No, but you played favorites by giving only your friends powers,"
"My friends asked to help me. I was against anyone getting caught up in this mess, but they made me see I can't do this alone,"
"It shouldn't be happening at all." Another audience member claimed.
"Perhaps, but blaming me is not the solution. Would getting rid of the police get rid of all crime? Would getting rid of the firefighters get rid of all fires? Would getting rid of the doctors and nurses eliminate all sickness and injuries? No, because they're the response to the problem, not the cause. I am the same. I am the response."
There were murmurs in the crowd about how good a point that was.
Ronnie Anne left her seat and got on stage. "Ask yourselves something. Who would you rather have by your side if you were in Lincoln's shoes? People you love and trust or some random stranger you barely know?"
Everyone was silent, knowing they would all pick the former, not the latter.
"I understand that people feel a certain way and blame me, and if you want me to leave, I'll leave,"
"Lincoln?" Ronnie Anne asked.
"However, I'm not surrendering to Cierra. I'll just leave Royal Woods, but let me tell you what would happen if I did. Gideon will keep sending monsters and demons worse than before until you tell him where I am, which I guarantee you won't know. And even if you did tell him someplace to find me, he's not going to believe you,"
"What difference will it make if you're here, Lame?" Chandler challenged.
"Because at least I'm here to fight those creatures, but if you want me to go, I'll go. I still have a place I can go far away from here, and you can deal with all these demons yourselves. And don't even bother asking my family because I'm pretty sure they'll be coming with me. Most likely, all my friends will, too, because why would they defend a town that turned their back on their friend? Would you? So it's your call, Mr. Mayor,"
"Can't there be some kind of compromise?" The Mayor asked.
"You really think you can compromise with a guy like Gideon? Good luck, buddy," Knight called.
Knight then flew onto the podium to address the mayor.
"Do you honestly believe if you hand Lincoln over, that psycho king is just going to let it go?"
"He promised to leave our world alone if we did!"
"He promised me he'd send me home after I saved his world, and look where we are now," Lincoln stated.
"He swore on his honor, and that's the best I can go on,"
"Do you really believe it's that simple?" Knight replied.
Later.
Later that night, the mayor stood in an open field in Tall Timbers Park. Next to him was a closed casket. Suddenly, there was a loud boom, and dark clouds covered the sky like before. Suddenly, Gideon appeared as if it were a projection, as before.
"When I sense the hero's presence, I assumed he came to his senses, but this is a surprise; for your sake, it better be a welcomed one,"
"We brought you Lincoln Loud,"
The mayor opened the top part of the casket, revealing a naked, unconscious Lincoln Loud sleeping in it.
"Oh, wonderful, and how did you subdue him?"
"After voting to give him to you, he tried to leave, but we were forced to sedate him, and we injected him with a powerful aphrodisiac that should keep his body aroused for hours,"
"And his family and friends?"
"They tried to stop us, and we were…forced to…" the mayor looked away, too ashamed to finish his sentence.
"I see, no matter, now hand him over,"
"Wait, isn't there a way to compromise?"
"Excuse me,"
"We destroyed this boy's life; now we're selling him into slavery; what if we give you his sperm, enough to ensure your daughter's pregnancy, and let him go?"
"While artificial insemination is practiced in my world, it's not about his seed or my heir anymore; it's about teaching my property to know his place,"
"His place?"
"Who or what he was before the gate summoned him means nothing to me; his only purpose is serving my kingdom however I see fit," Gideon stated. "My biggest mistake was allowing him to return to his world after his idiotic parents refused my offer; I should've killed them and their daughters and raised that boy myself, but it seems your town corrected that mistake and more," Gideon laughed.
"But-"
"Enough!" Gideon howled as a magical circle appeared. "Place the casket on the circle so that I can summon him back to Cierra, or would you rather your town suffer the consequences of your actions?"
The mayor nodded before rolling the casket into the circle; suddenly, it started glowing before turning into light and shooting up into the sky,"
"Excellent," he said happily as the casket containing Lincoln appeared in his throne room. "You men, transport this casket to my daughter's bed chambers so that they can begin conceiving my heir immediately!"
"Yes, Your Majesty," the two guards said as they carried off the casket.
"So we're finished; you'll leave us alone?" The mayor asked.
"Not exactly," Gideon replied, faking regret.
"What?" the mayor asked, confused.
"I need to eliminate everything that anchors the boy to your world to ensure he never tries to go back again, and that includes his desire for revenge on your town,"
"What-what are you saying!?"
Gideon said nothing. Instead, a light beamed down. Stepping out of it was a sizable monster made of multiple boulders. It was taller than the trees and terrifying.
"This creature is a Golem, unlike a demon who would take his time with each death; this a living weapon born from the elements and powered by crystalized mana to ensure nothing of your town remains and a quick and painless death for each citizen,"
"Why? We did what you asked, you promised!"
"True, I promised to leave you all alone, which is why after I destroy your town, whoever is left alive, I promise to leave them alone," Gideon said with a sadistic smile. "Now make sure to make your deaths very dramatic; I want to show this to the boy when he wakes up, to let him see he has nothing to go home to,"
The Golem roared as it slammed its fists down at a horrified mayor. However, the mayor's expression quickly changed to a cocky grin before he dodged the attack and dashed at the golem's legs. Slicing through its legs, the mayor stopped on the other side, holding two identical swords as the Golem fell.
"What!?" Yelled Gideon.
"Never trust a snake because you might get bit," the mayor said, speaking with Lincoln's voice.
"You!? But how?!"
"A little skill called Glamorization allows me to change my appearance to anyone I choose, including my voice," Lincoln informed while dispelling the illusion. "Guess those acting lessons from Mrs. Bernardo finally paid off,"
"Where is the real mayor!?"
"Oh, he's safe back in town watching all this along with everyone else in my hometown; now everyone knows what a scumbag you are! Courtesy of my sister Lisa," Lincoln said, pointing to multiple drones filming the entire interaction and broadcasting it.
"Wait!? What did I just send to my daughter's bedroom!?"
"A little surprise, courtesy of my sister Luan and my girlfriend Ronnie Anne, and The Royal Woods sewage plant,"
Gideon began hearing Veran's moaning as she was reaching her climax, yelling out, "I'm cumming!" Suddenly, he heard a loud explosion, followed by Veran screaming as she came running, naked and covered in sewage; she ran by her father with guards and her chambermaids chasing after her.
"GET IT OFF!" she screamed.
"My lady, stop, please calm down; you're getting it everywhere!" one of her chambermaids yelled.
Lincoln burst into laughter as Gideon looked on in horror and confusion from the literal shit show that just passed him.
"Oh man, sex-activated exploding sex doll filled with raw sewage, ha-ha-ha-ha, My sister Luan is pretty devious,"
"You dare!"
"Hey, she should consider herself lucky. I wanted to fill it with acid. Besides, it's both your fault, next time you should check the body. And if she had been thinking with her head instead of with whatever she had between her legs, she could have easily figured out that you had a fake Lincoln," Lincoln mocked.
"Get up, Golem, break every bone in his body, and destroy that town! While he watches!"
Suddenly, the Golem's legs reattached to the body, and the Golem was back up, roaring at Lincoln.
"Could it be that I may have gone too far?" Lincoln thought.
Despite its size, the Golem swung its fist fast at Lincoln; unable to dodge, he used his sword to block and absorb the blow, maxing out their MCP. The move seemed to work, but the Golem began pushing harder, causing his swords to crack before he went all the way, sending Lincoln flying. Lincoln found himself flying towards the tallest tree in Tall Timbers Park; unable to break free, Lincoln used his MP to create an invisible shell around himself, hoping it could absorb most of the impact.
"This should keep it from hurting too much," Lincoln said. Lincoln then slammed into the tree, his back embedded into it as he groaned through his teeth while saying."Still hurt!"
Lincoln fell to the ground but quickly recovered because his shell absorbed most of the blow. Getting ready to fight back, Lincoln realized the blow had destroyed his swords and that he was just holding the hilts.
"Those swords had high durability and A conductivity, and it shattered them like glass!" Lincoln said in disbelief as the Golem approached him. "Oh, I'm boned,"
Everyone watched Lincoln fight in the Royal Woods Mall auditorium as he began firing spells at the golem. Lisa had linked her drones to the jumbotron, and everyone watching from the auditorium or streaming saw everything, including Gideon's betrayal. Lincoln's family and friends noticed he was in trouble, so Clyde got up to leave but was stopped by his Dads.
"Clyde, where do you think you're going!?" Howard said.
"I'm going to help my best friend; I'm not going to stand by and let him die, defending a town that even considered the idea of kicking him to the curb,"
Clyde then switched to his costume, followed by the rest of the gang. They all stormed out despite their parents' protests. Ronnie Anne changed, too, and was about to leave, too, but she was stopped by Chandler, who grabbed her arm.
"Where do you think you're going!?"
"Let go, Chandler, unless you want to lose that hand,"
"I'm trying to help by keeping you from killing yourself for Lame,"
"The only help you're offering is yourself between my legs,"
"Well, why not? What makes that loser better than me? I have money and looks; what more could a girl like you want?"
"I could go on for hours about how you're a chauvinistic, narcissistic, sexist, perverted pig, wrapped in toxic masculinity piece of shit, whose only interest in Stella and me is our bodies and your obsession with making Lincoln miserable, but I don't have the time. Unless you want to see all the interesting things I can do with this whip, I suggest you let go RIGHT NOW!" Ronnie Anne threatened.
Chandler quickly let go out of fear, allowing Ronnie Anne to leave. However, Lana stopped her.
"Lana, what are you doing? I need to catch up with the others!"
"I know, but I need you to make a stop along the way,"
Back in Tall Timbers Park, Lincoln was still fighting the golem. Despite losing his swords, Lincoln utilized his spells, skills, and physical strength to the best he could. Unfortunately, any damage he caused the monster would quickly be undone due to its ability to reassemble itself. The beast begins flinging parts of its body at Lincoln, keeping him on the defensive.
"Okay, Loud, don't panic. All you have to do is find his anchor and destroy it, and he'll be sent back to Cierra,"
"I can see right through your tactics. Loud, trying to buy time until you can find its anchor, I have terrible news for you. Its mana crystal has enough power to last for days and doesn't need an anchor, so you can't just send it back," Gideon informs through the monster.
"Dang it,"
The monster then shot its fist at Lincoln. As he was about to brace himself for the attack, something flew in, striking the fist, causing it to redirect and hit the ground next to him.
"What the?" Lincoln said before seeing it was Clyde's shield.
"Hey buddy, looks like we made it just in time!" Clyde told before he telekinetically recalled his shield.
The rest of the action news team made a dramatic entrance as they landed in front of Lincoln.
"Sorry we're late, dawg," Rusty apologized.
"How is everybody?"
"They're safe," Liam answered.
"And feel like idiots," Zach added.
"I think it's time to take this thing down," Stella said, activating her claws.
"Guys, be careful; this thing shattered my swords with one blow,"
Lincoln then activated a stats boost, temporarily boosting everyone's stats. The monster roared as it began slamming down. Everyone dodged. Clyde and the others started striking it with their weapons, showing off various attacks based on their art, while Lincoln used spells. Despite the damage they were causing, the Golem kept putting itself back together.
"This is crazy. No matter how many times you smash it, it keeps coming back! How can we take this thing out if it doesn't have an anchor?"
"We need to aim for its crystal core," Lincoln revealed, his voice steady despite the chaos around them. "Gideon sent this Golem; it's unique. It doesn't have an anchor, but a mana crystal powers it. That's our target."
"Okay, so where's the mana crystal?" Zach asked.
"That's another problem; Knight has been trying to find it; he's having trouble seeing through that rock-hard body,"
"Ah, forget that! We keep smashing till we find something!" Liam roared, his voice echoing through the battlefield.
The fight resumed with renewed ferocity; however, Lincoln realized the Golem was becoming slower each time it reassembled itself. Hope flickered in his chest.
Lincoln stood perched atop a tree branch, observing the battle. "We must be overloading its regeneration; this could be our chance," he murmured, his eyes narrowing in determination.
"Lincoln! Behind you, dawg!" Rusty's urgent cry pierced the air.
Lincoln whirled around, his eyes widening as he saw one of the golem's massive boulders hurtling towards him on its path to rejoin the other pieces. Unable to dodge, Lincoln braced himself for the inevitable impact. Yet, at the last second, a whip snaked out, encircling his leg and yanking him out of harm's way. Landing on the ground with a thud, Lincoln was momentarily disoriented until he recognized the familiar whip.
"What would you do without me, Lame-O?" Ronnie Anne smirked, retracting her whip with a flourish.
"Ronnie Anne, what are you doing here?" Lincoln's surprise gave way to a wave of relief.
"Duh, I came to help," Ronnie Anne scoffed, rolling her eyes. "I would've been here sooner, but I had to make a stop to get this," she explained, pulling a mysterious wrapped object off her back and handing it to Lincoln with a sly grin.
Lincoln quickly unwrapped the object, revealing a brand-new sword. As he equipped the magnificent weapon, his stats window sprang open, displaying an unexpected change: his Double Sword Art had transformed into Sword Art. The new sword's stats were astonishing—double the combined might of his old blades.
"Woah, this sword is amazing,"
"Thank Lana later,"
Suddenly, the Golem hurled one of its boulders at Lincoln and Ronnie Anne; however, armed with his new sword, Lincoln dashed at it and sliced it into pebbles.
"Woah, this sword is lighter but sharper than my old ones,"
Lana felt a sense of pride hearing Lincoln praise her new sword. The pebbles struggled to move before they flew back towards it; however, Knight noticed something flickering right before the opening closed.
"Lincoln, I think I saw where the crystal is; it's in the center of the Golem, but you're gonna have to figure out a way to get to it,"
"Heh, you're talking to the man with the plan," Lincoln smirked, his voice filled with anticipation. "Guys, listen up before this thing starts attacking again; I've devised a strategy," he communicated telepathically to his party, his excitement palpable.
"You always do, Linc," Ronnie Anne replied.
"Okay, everyone but Ronnie Anne to charge their weapons to max and hit this thing with everything you got,"
"What good will that do? It'll just reassemble itself like before," Stella replied.
"That's where Knight and Ronnie Anne come in; once we blast it apart and Knight finds which rock has the crystal, Ronnie Anne can use her whip to grab it,"
Everyone agrees with the plan and moves into positions. As Lincoln instructed, everyone maxed out their weapon's MP and attacked from six directions. The resulting explosion blasted the Golem into pieces, scattering them all over Tall Timbers Park; it didn't take long before the pieces started flying back, but it was long enough for Knight to spot the glowing rock.
"There, get it now!" Knight yelled.
Taking her cue, Ronnie Anne swung her whip, channeling her mana into it; she started controlling it like a snake. It stretched and slinked past the incoming boulders until it reached its target, wrapping itself around the piece before Ronnie Anne yanked it back towards her right before the other boulders could cover it. The boulders recombined into the golem; however, something was wrong; its head and limbs were all in the wrong places, a twist that even surprised Ronnie Anne.
"I guess this piece didn't just power it, it stabilized it," Ronnie Anne theorized.
"What have you done to my creation!" Gideon yelled.
"If you ask me, it's an improvement," Ronnie Anne mocked. "Care to do the honors, Lincoln?"
"Don't mind if I do."
Ronnie Anne threw the boulder in the air before Lincoln jumped for it, slashing the rock in half, revealing a crystal inside; despite its mission form, the golem tried to reach for it, but Lincoln quickly sliced the crystal, and half destroyed it and caused the golem to fall apart. With the golem finally defeated, The Action News Team struck a heroic pose, signifying their victory, but Ronnie Anne joined this time. Everyone back at the auditorium and those streaming cheered at The Action News Team's victory; The Louds and Bobby stood up with a smug but proud expression.
"Well, Mr. Mayor, I believe my son has given you more than enough reason why he should stay in Royal Woods, and on his behalf, I would just like to say you're welcome," Lynn Sr. said as he and his family left, shooting Chandler a smug look. Chandler could only grit his teeth, knowing he lost to Lincoln again.
Later That Night.
Sitting on his throne, Gideon was fuming over what happened tonight. The humiliation was nearly unbearable; he was relieved that Veran finally stopped screaming. After the chambermaids finally caught her, they used a sleep spell to calm her down and clean her up before taking her to the castle healer to treat any potential infection and her STDs.
"Damn that Loud, why did that gate summon him?"
Gideon got up and began pacing his throne room, trying to figure out his options for capturing Lincoln and securing his heir.
"I could send another demon or elemental golem, but I need them to guard my kingdom. My spies tell me the other nations are becoming suspicious, and they're not being as cooperative as before. The bloodline must continue before they realize our power is weakening; if only I can summon another hero!"
Suddenly, the doors to the throne room with someone walking in. That someone was an old crone named Gilda, cackling as she walked in, much to Gideon's annoyance. She is the kingdom's soothsayer who has been serving the kingdom for centuries, surviving through potions that keep her alive.
"What do you want, hag?"
"I'm merely here to help you,"
"You've never shown any interest in helping me before; all you do is spend your days inside that tower with your visions, so why help now?"
"I had a vision that your obsession with the hero and producing an heir will be your undoing, so my hand was forced," Gilda explained.
"Always trying to preserve your life,"
"What if I told you there was a way to summon another hero?"
"Has your old age finally caught up with you, Gilda? The gates can only summon one hero each, and I've summoned mine. The power granted to him by the gate will not return until the hero dies, and even by some miracle that happens, it will take generations before the gate allows the next ruler to summon another hero."
"I'm well aware of that, boy, but have you forgotten that the demon Lord's gate, which the hero escaped through, is still intact?"
"Have you forgotten that it is a dark gate, and it is under the power of the demon lord? I don't have the power to activate it; only a Demon Lord or a hero can,"
"But you do, within your scepter. Have you forgotten the Demon Lord's power and essence are trapped within your scepter? The very power you use to control the demons also allows you to use the gate and summon a dark hero,"
Gideon developed a twisted smile with that realization of the true extent of the power in his hand.
"I can use the dark hero to bring me Lincoln Loud and finally secure my legacy!"
"No! You could use the gate to summon a dark hero more willing to procreate with your daughter and preserve your bloodline and end this obsession,"
"Do you really think I would soil my bloodline by allowing it to mix with a hero summoned from one of those filthy kingdoms?"
"Why are you obsessed with this boy?"
"My gate summoned him; his vitality is beyond any previous hero, and based on his parents' reproductive capacity, he should be able to produce multiple offspring, which I can use to take full control of the other kingdoms,"
"The fool!?" Gilda thought.
"I'll arrange a surprise for Lincoln Loud and his town before I leave," Gideon laughed. "Now, why don't you make yourself useful and arrange an expedition team? We're leaving in the morning; my heirs await, and time is short,"
Gilda sighed in annoyance as she left; suddenly, her eyes glowed, signaling that she just had another vision.
"Shorter than you think, you pompous fool," Gilda cackled.
The next morning, Lincoln woke up feeling better than last night. After defeating the Golem, the A.N.T. was thanked by the town. After celebrating with his friends and family, everyone went home. Heading downstairs, Lincoln was greeted by his sisters, minus Lori, who went home with Bobby and Ronnie Anne.
"Morning everyone,"
"Good morning, Lincoln," his sisters replied.
"So what are your plans for today, Mr. Hero?' asked Luna.
"Well, after school, I'm heading to Great Lake City for my date with Ronnie Anne,"
"Oh, speaking of Great Lake City, I better get going; Carlota and I need to put the finishing touches on our latest Lenota fashion line for Mariella Moss's fashion show," Leni said, finishing her breakfast.
Leni rushed out, saying buy to her family, but when she opened the door, she was greeted by something she wasn't expecting.
"Uh, Mom, Dad, Lori, The Casagrande, and the Santiagos are standing outside the door, and they look upset,"
"Where's Lincoln!" said Lori said in a pissed-off tone.
"Wow, I haven't heard Lori this pissed at you since that time you wrote that note, calling her the worst sister," said Luna.
"What did I do now?"
Lincoln headed to the door, and true to Leni's words, they all seemed upset with him, much to his confusion.
"Uh, good morning?"
"I hope you have a good explanation for this young man!" said Maria.
"For what?" Lincoln asked, his confusion growing.
"For this!" Rosa and Hector replied.
"Ronalda Anne Santiago, front and center, young lady! Now!" Arturo called.
Everyone parted, allowing Ronnie Anne to walk to Lincoln carrying something in her arms; it wasn't hard for Lincoln to figure out what she was holding despite it being wrapped in a blanket.
"Ronnie Anne, is that a baby?"
"Yeah. Our baby," Ronnie Anne said, blushing.
"Say what!" Lincoln and the Louds inside said.
Ronnie Anne removes part of the blanket, revealing a baby with Ronnie Anne's complexion but a little lighter. The most noticeable feature is her white hair.
"Say hello to our daughter," Ronnie Anne said before Lincoln fainted.
End Of Ch. 4
