Disclaimer: I don't own Loud House and Samurai Sentai Shinkenger.
At the same time, in abandoned warehouse
During the time when they were in the net, Loud Sisters tried their best to get out of there but they failed and were knocked out afterwards.
At night time, the first one who woke up was Lori. She looked around and saw that she was in some kind of a warehouse. When she tried to move, she noticed that she was tied up to a chair and saw her other sisters, still knocked out and tied up as well in circle. She became worried for them and called them. "Girls! Girls! Wake up!". At hearing this, they woke up slowly with groans. Once they were awoken, they gasped at seeing themselves tied up and tried their best to get out of there but no avail. Soon, they were exhausted from their attempts and then they heard snickering and looked around for the source.
"Don't even bother. This ropes are indestructible" they heard a voice and from shadows appeared Akumaro.
"Who or what are you?" sisters asked in unison.
"I'm known as Sujigarano Akumaro, but you can call me just Akumaro" he replied.
"I sense that you came from Hell. I usually would be happy to see a demon, but you are not one of those I'd like to see" Lucy said.
"And these clothes of yours are very disgusting" Lola exclaimed.
"Totes" Leni agreed.
"When I'll be out of this chair, Kukumoru, I'll swipe that smile of yours!" Lynn cried still trying to break free.
"Ho-ho-ho-ho, how amusing. You think that you have what it takes to defeat a Gedoushuu. Isn't that right, Tejinajutsu?" Akumaro asked looking at the ceiling.
"Precisely" he said, jumping from above in front of them, shuffling his cards. Upon seeing him, girls immediately became livid.
"YOU! You are the one who tied our bro and kicked him in his gut!" Luna yelled.
"You'll pay for hurting him!" Luan cried.
"Yeah? I don't think so" he said shuffling his cards again.
After calming down, Lori asked them. "What do you want from us?"
"From you? Absolutely nothing" he replied and grinned. "But you will 'help' me to awake the hidden potential of your 'brother'".
"Lincoln's hidden potential? What are you talking about?" Lynn asked.
"If I may, sibling units. I was making analyzes of our family, don't ask me why I did that. When I analyzed our male sibling unit, I discovered a substance of unknown origin inside of him that I can't describe" Lisa explained.
"What are you saying?" Lana asked tilting her head.
"I'm saying that there's something in Lincoln that we don't know and probably he doesn't know either".
"Exactly. And you will help me release it" Tejinajutsu barked.
"I don't know what there's so special in our twerp, but I won't join you" Lori exclaimed.
"Yeah. I will never hurt Linky" Leni agreed and even Lily made raspberry.
"Oh yeah? You don't have any choice" he replied pulling out a card from his deck, which is Ten of Diamonds. Then he crushed it in his palm turning it into ashes and blewing it into air. Then he turned to Akumaro. "Now it's up to you, Akumaro-sama".
"Very well then" he said. Then he started to swirl his sword speaking an incantation which made ashes swirl around the girls. Soon, ashes began to go inside of them making them to close their eyes, twirling and screaming in pain. But when they stopped, both Gedoushuu started to laugh as the spell worked.
Next morning, at the Shiba House
Every morning, four Takeru's retainers begin by practicing in kendo. They usually do that wearing white kendogi and blue (brown) hakama for boys (girls). While they were practicing, they heard a door opening and saw Lincoln coming out with a yawn. But he told them to not mind him and they continued training. During their practice, Lincoln was watching them sitting nearby and thinking. 'Wow. They are so awesome'.
"You like the way they practicing?" Genta asked him as he sat next to him. He's wearing a different attire: a white headband, a white checkered kendogi with gold line and a golden kanji "ゴ" on his back in circle, navy-blue shorts and sandals.
"Yeah. They are amazing" he said but then asked. "But why are you not training with them?"
"That's because I wasn't a samurai. I'm a sushi chef and my dream is to have my own restaurant".
"Really? Then why are you fighting with them?"
"Because when Take-chan and I were kids, we were friends and we made a promise that when he'll become a Lord, I'll return and will fight alongside him".
"A promise to a friend? That's nice" Lincoln said, smiling at him.
"It's true" Genta agreed, getting up. "Well, I gotta go. Time to work. See you around, Linc".
And with that, Genta wished everyone good day and went to his sushi cart. After that, white-haired boy continued to watch how four samurais were training while thinking, 'Man, this guys look like they practice every day'.
"That's right". Suddenly, Lincoln turned to his left and saw Hikoma standing next to him. He was surprised at how he heard him, but he just nodded. "Have you ever trained in kendo?"
"Actually, no. I'm not as strong as my sisters or them. But I like how they always got my back and I got them with my plans".
"It's good to hear about such a good family".
"Yeah. Anyway, is it true that Shinkengers practice every day?"
"Precisely. They were training since childhood, except Genta since he is son of sushi man and Chiaki since he didn't take practicing seriously. In order to protect the world from Gedoushuu, they must master the swordsmanship and Mojikara".
"Mojikara? What is that?" Lincoln asked tilting his head.
"Mojikara is a power to unleash anything by writing a kanji. And Genta uses Electronic Mojikara by pointing special codes. Each Shinkenger has its special elemental Mojikara: Lord – fire, Ryuunosuke – water, Mako – air, Chiaki – wood, Kotoha – earth, Genta – light. Understand?" Hikoma asked him and he shook his head.
"Let me show you" said Takeru coming out in his navy-blue kendogi and hakama. Then, he pulled out his ShodoPhone, switched it in brush mode and made a red kanji '枕' (pillow), spun it and it made a red pillow that came to Lincoln's hands.
"Wow! That's magic?" Lincoln asked with stars in his eyes.
"Something like that" Hikoma answered, chuckling at kid's enthusiasm.
Suddenly, an idea popped in Lincoln's head. So he came to Takeru and kneeled to him. "Lord Takeru, please teach me about swordsmanship and Mojikara".
This statement surprised everyone. But Takeru just looked at him and turned away saying, "No".
That answer shocked white-haired child and the rest. "What?" he asked him.
"Mojikara and swords is not a child's play. Not everyone can be a samurai and a Shinkenger. You should just stay here and let us take care of this, kid".
Hearing that, something inside Lincoln's body clicked and he snapped. "Are you saying I'm defenseless, old man?!".
"Old… man!?" Takeru asked with a little twitch in his eye.
"Yeah! You think I'm just a kid who can't protect himself, right?! Well, I AM a kid! And it's MY family in danger! And when it comes to my family, nothing will stop me! Not even you, old man!"
"Why you little!" Takeru angered and lifted him by the collar of his shirt.
Others saw that and got scared at what's gonna happen so they ran and tried to separate and calm them down. Suddenly, they heard a ringing inside Shiba's house and, dropping Lincoln to the ground, Shiba's lord and others made their way back to the house. Once Lincoln got up and came to the house, he saw Hikoma taking out a wooden stick from a black hexagonal prism under two big bells with a kanji '受'(receive) on white paper. That's Sukima (Crevice) Sensor, a device that always warns them when Gedoushuu attack.
"563" Hikoma said, looking at the wooden stick. Then two of Kurokos arrived with the map showing the point. When Shinkengers came in their casuals, he told the place. "It's Ugetsu-cho".
"Let's go" Takeru proclaimed and he and his comrades made their way to there. When Lincoln was about to go, Hikoma stopped him. "Where do you think you are going?".
"I'm coming after them".
"Have you not heard what My Lord…" but he was cut off.
"I know what he said" he exclaimed putting his hand to his chest. "But I feel my sisters will be there. I can't ignore that feeling. Do you know how it feels?"
Hikoma was humming in thought and told him something. "I used to have a wife but she passed away. The only family I have left are my daughter, her husband and granddaughter. I stopped seeing them when I started raising My Lord. But I saw them few days ago at the anniversary of my wife's death".
Lincoln was surprised at hearing his backstory and felt sad about it. "I'm sorry for your family".
"Thanks for your condolences, my boy".
"But I still wanna go. I feel that I have to".
After thinking enough, old man said. "Okay. But be careful there". And so, Lincoln made his way to where Shinkenger went.
Meanwhile, at Ugetsu-cho
While Lincoln was talking to Hikoma, Shinkengers arrived to Ugetsu-cho and saw an army of Nanashi running around and bringing panic.
"That's enough, Gedoushuu!" Takeru exclaimed getting their attention. Then he and his four retainers pulled out ShodoPhones and switched them to brush mode. "ShodoPhone! Ippitsu Soujou!" they proclaimed and drew in mid-air their Mojikara of their respective color then flipped them backwards transforming to Shinkenger.
Genta took out his Sushi Changer opening it up and pressing a central button which made it say: "Welcome!" and he closed it. Then he took out Sushi Disk, folded it and put on Changer, making it look like a piece of sushi. "Sushi Changer! Ikkan Kenjo!" he cried and pointed it forward transforming to Shinken Gold.
Each one took out their swords and, except Shinken Red, kneeled down with a weapon behind their backs. And the leader was standing, moving his hand along the blade and proclaiming. "Samurai Sentai authorized by Providence…" Then he rose his Shinkenmaru in the air making others get up and rising their weapons up and then they made a strike down finishing the proclaim, doing poses. "Shinkenger! Going forth!".
And so, the fight has begun. Shinkengers were using their swords to slash at Nanashi. The monsters were doing their best to fight back, but it wasn't working out.
While they were fighting, Lincoln arrived and hid behind a pillar to watch the battle. He felt himself worrying to not be noticed and amazed by seeing real-life heroes in action. Suddenly, he heard crying nearby and saw a little girl crying for help. He became worried for her and saw that Shinkengers are busy fighting Nanashi off. But then, something clicked inside of him and without thinking he ran to her. Unaware to him, some of Nanashi noticed and went after him.
After few minutes of running, he finally made it to the girl and lifted her in his arms. "Don't worry. I'll protect you. It's going to be okay" he reassured her to calm her down. But when he turned around, he saw Nanashi coming to him. However, he wasn't scared anymore and he ran through them while carrying the girl in his arms. Soon, he was able to break through and approached a woman that turned out to be girl's mother and he gave her the girl.
"Thank you so much for saving my girl" she thanked him.
"No problem" he responded and went back. But he got surrounded by Nanashi and they were about to attack him.
Suddenly, one of them got hit at the back of his head by a disk. The rest of them looked at him and then at what hit him. Out of nowhere, they heard yelling: "Goyou de! Goyou de! Goyou de!". And to Lincoln's side came Daigoyo.
"Daigoyo? What are you doing here?" Lincoln asked him.
"What am I doing here? What are YOU doing here? Why have you come the battlefield?" he asked him back.
"I'm sorry. It's just… I felt that my sisters will be here… And then I saw a girl in trouble and I…" but he was cut off.
"Okay, okay, okay. My boss sent me here to help you. So I will do that. Just grab me and I'll help".
Just as Lincoln grabbed him by his back-handle with his left hand, a blue baton with silver pointed ends appeared on his right hand. Realizing what to do, he started to swing the baton at Nanashi sending them back. And if some of them get closer to him, he hits baton under back-handle making Daigoyo shoot disks at them rapidly.
Soon, they regrouped with Shinkengers and saw that only few Nanashi left and Shinken Red decided to finish them off by himself. So, he took from his buckle a silver Secret Disk with images of lightnings making strikes, called Lightning Disk, inserted it in his Shinkenmaru and spun it, charging it by lightning energy. "Shinkenmaru! Raiden no Mai (Dance of Thunder and Lightning)!" he yelled and performed a forward slash sending lightning at them destroying them completely.
"That's the last of them" said Shinken Green, feeling a little bit relaxed.
"Good job, guys" Shinken Red praised his team and then turned to Lincoln. "… And you too, kid".
"Thanks for the compliment, old man" he responded unamused and turned away from him.
"Hey, what's going on here?" Shinken Gold asked, not knowing about the argument and taking back Daigoyo.
"It's just Takeru once again forgot to take control of his anger" Shinken Pink replied, looking at their leader who just grunted.
"Please, My Lord. Have you forgotten our promise to him?" Shinken Blue asked him as well.
While they were talking to each other, Lincoln was looking at them not understanding, how can they be so loyal to this arrogant guy. Suddenly, they heard whistling and a fog appeared out of nowhere. Shinkengers stood in circle formation putting the boy in center. Then 10 shadows appeared in the fog. At first it was unclear who those were, but when Lincoln took a closer look, he immediately recognized them.
"Girls?" he asked, and he saw that these 10 shadows ARE his sisters.
"Lincoln, are they all your sisters?" Shinken Yellow asked him.
"Yes, they are" he answered as he started to shed tears of joy. But he didn't realize that there's something wrong with them.
"Uh, Linc. Why does it look like that there's something wrong with them?" Shinken Green asked.
After hearing that, Lincoln noticed that they didn't say anything, had a stern look with closed eyes. And he began to feel himself very uncomfortable about the situation.
"Girls? Are you ok?" he asked them again to hear anything. But instead, red bows and arrows appeared in their hands and they pointed them at heroes.
"Look out!" Shinken Red yelled and they jumped in different sides avoiding the arrows. When they hit the ground and looked up, to their, and mostly Lincoln's, shock, they opened their eyes revealing to be maliciously yellow. But that's not all. Black flames surrounded them and they all grew to the same size as Lori and their bodies changed being similar in form but with their respectful colors: light-blue, seafoam green, purple, yellow, red, black, blue, pink, green, lavender. They wear black chest armor with a design of scorpion's face and black claw-shaped shoulder pads, silver arms, belly and hips with a scale-like design, black boots, claw-shaped gauntlets, hands and feet of the matching color. The eyes are white, they wear a silver mouthpiece and their hair of the corresponding color tied in ponytail shaped like scorpion's tail. Each one had weapons: Lori and Leni – Y-shaped halberd, Luna and Luan – rifle, Lynn and Lucy – sword, Lana, Lola, Lisa and Lily – bow and arrows.
Shocked at seeing them, Lincoln became scared and his legs started trembling in fear. Then he turned to reader and said. "Like my baby sister Lily say "Poo-poo"".
Here's the end of another chapter. The design of Loud Sisters monster forms is based on Sorisa from Jyuken Sentai Gekiranger (aka Stingarella from Power Rangers Jungle Fury).
