The sun rose over the campsite, casting a warm glow on the dew-covered tents. The Loud family began to stir, each sibling groggily emerging from their sleeping bags. Lincoln, however, was already up, the events of the previous night still fresh in his mind. He donned his Lincoln shirt, adjusted his "L" hat, and clutched the polished aluminum bat with grim determination. Today was the day he would rub out Lynn Sr.
Lynn Sr. was at the center of the campsite, obliviously making breakfast. He hummed a tune, flipping pancakes with a carefree attitude. Lincoln approached him.
"Morning, Dad," Lincoln said, his voice steady.
"Morning, son!" Lynn Sr. replied cheerfully. "Ready for a day of fun and adventure?"
Lincoln nodded, but his mind was elsewhere. He waited for the right moment, his grip on the bat tightening. As his dad turned to grab more pancake batter, Lincoln took a deep breath and swung the bat with all his might. The sound of the aluminum connecting with Lynn Sr.'s head was sharp and final. Lynn Sr. crumpled to the ground, unconscious. Blood flowed from his mouth.
Lincoln stood over him, his heart pounding. "Punk-ass bitch," he muttered, before dragging his dad's limp body to a trash can.
Meanwhile, the sisters were in full prank war mode. The campsite had turned into a battlefield, and at the center of it all was Lana, proudly sitting atop a T-62, it got that 115-mm gun, that Soviet gray color, damn, she had somehow acquired.
"Lana! Where did you get that thing?" Luna screamed, dodging a water balloon that exploded with a burst of purple dye that melted into the core of the Earth.
Lana grinned mischievously, her eyes gleaming. "Garage sale," she said, as if it explained everything. She maneuvered the tank's turret towards Luan and Lisa's tent, firing a burst of confetti shells that exploded on impact, covering everything in a blizzard of paper.
Lisa, ever the genius, retaliated with her own inventions. She launched a series of homemade rockets that zipped through the air, trailing colorful smoke. One rocket hit the tank squarely, but instead of causing any damage, it exploded into a cloud of glitter that coated Lana head to toe.
Luan, not one to be outdone, set up a series of tripwires around their tent. As Lynn Jr. charged in for a sneak attack, she triggered one of the wires, releasing a bucket of slime that drenched her from head to toe. Leni, trying to help, only managed to get herself tangled in the string, looking like a human rainbow.
Lori, meanwhile, had transformed into Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid. Dressed in full tactical gear, she crept through the campsite, using the chaos to her advantage. She expertly navigated through the battlefield, taking out her siblings with precision grenades and stealth attacks.
"Colonel, I'm in position," she whispered into her codec. "Targets acquired. Commencing operation Liquidation."
Lincoln returned to the campfire, wiping sweat from his brow. He looked around at the chaos, the sisters' pranks escalating into an all-out warzone. He needed to keep his focus. Ronnie Anne was still on his list, and he wouldn't rest until she paid for what she did to Lucy.
Lucy, who had been on a non-stop journey to find a suitable bathroom spot, returned looking exhausted. Her stomach was still a roiling mess, the sounds of her discomfort audible even over the din of the prank war.
"Lincoln," she said weakly, clutching her abdomen. "Did you do it?"
Lincoln nodded, his face serious. "Yeah. He won't bother us anymore. But there's still Ronnie Anne."
Lucy shook her head, still in disbelief. "I can't believe she would do this to me. She's always been so sweet."
Lincoln's eyes hardened. "Trust me, Lucy. I know it was her. And I'm going to make sure she regrets it."
As the morning progressed, the prank war reached new heights. Lori, Luna, and Lily tried to stay out of the chaos, but it was impossible. Lori found herself dodging everything from water balloons to chestnuts to kinectic energy weapons (filled with paint in Minecraft), while Luna's guitar was transformed into a rubber chicken by one of Lisa's inventions. By what physics did Lisa manage to do that? Lily, too young to fully understand, giggled and clapped her hands, enjoying the spectacle. She is the Only Good Sister, therefore she is not a part of this war and will never be harmed or held to any consequences, even as she looks over at her handiwork as the remnants of Leni is eaten by Lily's army of fire ants.
Lynn Jr., covered in slime, decided to up the ante. She commandeered a fire hose from the campsite's emergency supplies and turned it on Lisa and Luan's tent. The high-pressure water blasted through the fabric, sending the occupants scrambling for cover.
Lincoln, amidst the madness, donned his mascot costume. The giant head with its golden crown gave him an air of authority, and he used it to weave through the chaos, issuing orders and formulating his next move.
"Lana!" he called out, catching her attention as she reloaded the tank. "We need to find Ronnie Anne. We gotta take her out."
Lana grinned, her eyes gleaming with excitement. "Leave it to me, bro!" She revved the tank's engine, plowing through the campsite in search of their target.
The UFO sighting from the previous night was still in the back of Lincoln's mind. As he watched his sisters engage in their brutal but comical slapstick pranks, he couldn't help but wonder what was going on near the lake. But that mystery would have to wait. For now, he had to focus on the task at hand.
Lincoln found Lucy again, this time ensuring she was comfortable. He wrapped an arm around her, offering what comfort he could. "I promise you, Lucy, we'll get through this. I'll make sure Ronnie Anne pays."
Lucy, despite her misery, managed a weak smile. "But Lincoln, I'm telling you, she's innocent. Ronnie Anne is an innocent girl!"
Just then, a loud explosion rocked the campsite.
The Loud family was dead. All that were left was Lincoln and Lucy.
Lincoln adjusted his crown and took a deep breath. He knew what he had to do next.
"Avenge us!" said Lori, looking up and shaking her fist.
"Yeah, kill that rat!" screamed Lola.
"Don't worry guys, your deaths won't be in vain."
"They better not," went Luan, brushing herself off and marveling at the paint that had been splattered all over her body from some errant water balloon. "I'm too young to dye! Get it?"
Lynn Sr bled out like a cuck and died.
