Worrying about her younger sister some more, Lori got a call from the police about the Joke Factory of America being robbed right now, and she immediately went to Lincoln's room who was reading comic books in his underwear, like he would normally do in his free time, and she said: "Lincoln, i think we found Circus Freak."
Getting out of bed, the white-haired boy put on his super-suit, and he asked: "Are you sure it's him?"
"Lincoln, come on." she looked slightly annoyed at her brother. "Circus Freak is a clown. And clowns are literally involved of jokes, gags, pranks, etcetera." Lincoln looked a little sheepish, and rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment with his left hand. Nevertheless, they needed the help of Void and Ghost Dog to help get their jokester sister back. Lori was the one to make the phone-call to the other two heroes, and waited for both of them to come to their house to group up and discuss the plan.
"Let's just hope Luan is ok."
"I am hoping." Lori sighed. "Who knows what kind of brutal and evil torture Circus Freak is doing to her right now." a cold shiver went down her spine just thinking about the kind of horrible things her jokester sister is being put through right now.
Meanwhile
Circus Freak and Luan were just robbing the whole Joke Factory blind and putting them all in large bags. The factory staff and security were still under the effects of their laughing gas to even try to stop them. The security guards couldn't even aim their guns properly at the two villains.
"This was so much easier than I thought." Circus Freak smiled evilly
"I know. This is as easy as riding a bike." Luan agreed with her new boss. "Oh! Speaking of which, why can't a bike stand on it's own?"
"No idea." Circus Freak had a duck-face trying to figure out this kind of riddle
"Because it was two-tired. Hahahahaha! Get it?"
"hahahahahah!" they both cackled at the joke like a pair of hyenas laughing without a care in the world.
Back At the Loud Residence
"Come on Lori, we gotta keep our heads if we're gonna get her back."
"You're right, Lincoln. No point in overthinking stuff." It was just then they both heard the front door knocked three times, and it had to be the other two superheroes. When Lincoln answered it, it was definitely them alright.
"Did you find Luan yet?" asked Ghost Dog
"No, but we did find Circus Freak." Lincoln pointed.
"Parfait. We find Circus Freak, zen we find Luan." the hero dog replied.
"Let's move, guys." Void said as they heroes rushed out of the house to fly over to the Joke Factory. Lori was using her flight powers to carry Lincoln by holding his wrists. Void was in his black blob form and Ghost Dog was flying with his human best friend.
"No offense Lincoln, but... you're heavier than you look."
"Thanks, boys love hearing that!" Lincoln sounded offended
"Sorry. I'm sorry. I wasn't trying to be mean. Just saying."
It took about five minutes to reach the joke factory, and part of the premesis was in flames. Hopefully, the four were not too late to stop Circus Freak from causing any more chaos. Rushing inside the building, they found Circus Freak hoarding more gags and props in his bag.
With an amused sneer, the clown looked at the group. "Well, well, well, if it ain't the Quartet of Goody-Goodies. Had a feeling you would all show up."
"Where is she?!" Lori demanded. "Where is my s- i mean, the poor clown girl you kidnapped earlier?!"
"Relax Volcano Girl." Circus Freak replied with his hands out in front of him like he was trying to make peace. "Luan Loud is fine. She's just havijg a blast right now."
Suddenly, a bomb popped out of nowhere, in front of the four heroes. "Look out!" Lincoln shouted before everyone hid behind some large crates for cover. "Who did that?!" Said Void angrily.
"I did, of course." Said Luan, popping out od the explosion with her ax in hand.
All four of the superheroes were shocked to see what had happened to the jokester Loud sister.
"Luan?" Said Lori in pure horror. "What are you doing?"
"Just helping my new friend rob the joke factory." Luan smiled. "And then some."
"Wait. You just decided to willingly hell this lunatic from the planet Crazy-Tron?" Asked Lincoln
"Well no." Circus Freak put a gentle hand on Luan's right shoulder. "You see, I knew she wouldn't willingly serve me. For that, i created a chemical that would turn her as crazy as me. Injecting it into her arm, airgo, the new Luan Loud is born!"
"And ready to cause soke mayhem and destruction!" Luan added proudly. Both of them began laughing evilly at the ceiling. A great build of anger boiled inside of Lori, as if her blood was really boiling right now (and rightfully). Lincoln was almost as mad as his big sister, and both could hardly believe what had happened to their poor sister.
Circus Freak has gone way too far this time. Sure he is insane but this? This is the straw that broke the Bactrian camel's back.
"You've literally signed your death warrant." Lori seethed at Circus Freak
"Not if i get out of here first." Circus Freak sang. "Luan, care to deal with these meddlesome heroes while i rob more drawers?"
"With pleasure, boss." Luan readied her ax.
"Laser Boy, Void, Ghost Dog, you all deal with Circus Freak." Lori ordered
"What about vous?" Asked Ghost Dog
"I'll deal with Luan. Now go stop that clown! Hurry!"
"You heard the lady," said Void. "We gotta stop 'im."
the three other heroes chased after Circus Freak while Lori was alone to try and get Luan back to her senses. She and Luan were slowly circling around one another slowly as the fight had commenced. Lori looked worried about how this will go down. Luan, on the other hand, had a killing look in her eyes as she was readying her ax to slice-and-dice her own big sister. "Luan, listen to me." the fire hero tried reasoning with her younger sibling. "This is not you. It's literally the chemical in you talking. You do not want to do this."
"Oh, but i do, sister dear." Luan readied her ax. "And this is going to be fun."
"I do not wanna fight you, Luan." Lori gave a hard look.
"But I want to fight you." Luan said as she was charging at her sister, swinging her ax around in a crazed manner. It was almost like Jack Nicholson in the Shining. Nevertheless, Lori dodged as many swipes as she could from her brainwashed sibling. This time, Circus Freak had really gone too far in this evil plan. When she and her cohorts put him back in prison, they will make sure he stays there to keep him from causing any more harm ever again.
Hopefully, Lisa can create a cure for this madness once Lori has beaten her (in a non-lethal way).
"Luan, i mean it. I don't want to fight you."
"Then hurry up and die! Like, hold still so i can chip you into fried human strips."
This was going to be harder than Lori thought since she was fighting a member of her own family. Dodging an dodging, she couldn't keep that up forever. So maybe, just maybe- she can tired out Luan first. But the only question it; could it possibly work like this?
