(No POV)
THUD THUD THUD
Lincoln can be found deep in the woods, his knuckles bleeding as he is repetitively punching full force into a
boulder that's two meters high and three meters wide, all for his 'training'."
"Its been two days since what happened at the pageant" Lincoln thought as he continues to bet away at the
rock "Things have been tense at home, As I heard from Lucy, Lisa and Lana that Pop-Pop really let them have it,
especially Mom and Dad."
~Flashback~
A ft er Lincoln was dragged away by Becky, Pop-Pop turned to face the rest of his family.
"And now I think we need to have a talk." He said in a serious voice as they all gulped.
"Uh, Albert" Lynn Sr said in a uneasy voice "Can we perhaps do this in a more private place?"
Albert looks around to see people watching them and was about to agree, until he remembered something just
moments ago.
"That didn't stop all of you from doing it to my grandson moments ago" Albert said firmly as they started to
sweat nervously as those who were watching nodded with what he said.
"Now I want to know what was going through your mind when you all decided to gang up on Lincoln like that"
Albert demanded with his hands on his hips
"Dad" Rita said taking a step forward to her father "Lola's been working on her career for her whole life and her
own brother just goes and sabotages her" She tries to explain as Albert raises an eyebrow.
"You taught me that family looks out for one another and that's what we're trying to do" Rita finished looking
hopeful that her father would understand.
"I did taught you that yes" Albert nodded as the others started to gaining hopeful looks as well, only for them to
fall one more as Albert gave them a stern look "And that Includes Lincoln"
"What?" Rita asked confused as she feels like a little girl again being scolded by her father
"I taught you that family looks out for one another and yet almost all of yous go against your own" Albert said as
he gave Lucy,Lisa and Lana so ft er expressions
"And I'm glad that not all of yous turned on your own brother" he said as the ones who stood up for Lincoln
smiled as they know they did good.
Albert then faces his daughter and son in-law as his stern expression returns "And I don't know if you know this
but Lola's six" Albert told them "you can't say that she's been working for it her whole life when her life has only
just begun."
"Didn't Lincoln say something similar" Luna whispered to Luan
"Well if he did, then he knows what he's talking about" Albert said as he had heard Luna, who in turn was
startled.
"But that still doesn't give him the right to sabotage Lola" Lori says trying to have Pop-Pop see their side "We
support each other not ruin each others chances"
"Actually, Lincoln didn't in truth sabotage Lola" Lisa informs them "He refused to help her because he was busy
and might have helped her a ft erwards if not for her reaction to his refusal"
Lori tries to stop Lisa from talking but Albert lets her continue as she still has more to say
"A ft er not being properly punished, he only went to help someone else in the pageant instead" Lisa continues
"He didn't do anything to Lola to make people like her routine less or make her mess up, he just trained
someone to out shine her."
Lola started to grind her teeth at that part
"So he didn't in truth sabotage Lola" Lisa said as she pushes her glasses up before glaring at Lori "And you have
no right to blame others for sabotaging others eldest sibling"
"What do you mean" Lori asked with a glare of her own "I never sabotaged anyone"
"Leni's driving test" Lucy said before Lisa as Lori's eyes widened as she starts to sweat looking nervous
"What do you mean Lucy" Lynn Sr asked his spooky daughter
That's when she explained on how Lori made them do stu ff of her so they could get rides as she was the only
one besides Mom and Dad with a license, who Lincoln taught Lucy how to drive and how Lori sabotaged her by
giving her bad driving advice while Leni slept so they could keep doing stu ff for her.
"LORI MARIA LOUD!" The three adults(I only see Albert as the adult) were stunned to learn this as everyone
else's jaws dropped in shock that someone can be so petty
"Wait but that's not all" Lucy said as she explains about what happened during the 'Sister Fight Protocol"
including her and Lisa's being including the reality check Lincoln gave them and if everyone was already
shocked then their now completely stunned stupid as they heard the most idiotic thing in the world.
Albert had only one thing to ask "And where were your parents when this all happened?"
The Parents in question are sweating so much that Lynn Sr almost slipped in a puddle of his own sweat. a2
"For Leni's driving test they practically gave up on that so they didn't now even when Lincoln scolded Lori" Lucy
answered "As for the Protocol they hid in their room with Lily"
Albert pinches as he and the people surrounding them couldn't believe this as he then notices the whispers
going around, he looked in the direction of the Sweetwater family, who stayed to listen to all of the commotion
as they looked at Lincoln for conformation only for him to nod.
"Maybe now would be a good time to have this talk become more privet" Albert said as he didn't expect all of
this, As he escorted the family to Vanzilla to continue this talk at home. a3
Lincoln sighs in relief knowing that his plan worked perfectly and that his family will get a reality check that's
long over due.
"Does this happen o ft en?" Mr Sweetwater asked the white haired boy looking concerned
"No" Lincoln said as they looked slightly relieved
"This was the first time anyones ever had my back" Lincoln finishes, not noticing how their expressions fell at his
words.
"Even Lori and Leni" Becky asked as they were her friends
"This is normal for Lori" Lincoln answered as Becky lightly shook her head disappointed in her friend "And Leni
just goes with whatever the others say."
"I'm just glad that your grandfather is setting them right" Mrs sweetwater says with her hands on her hips "
Because it seems your parents aren't capable.
Lincoln frowns at that but can't deny it as they never set the girls straight or even sided with him once, never lets
him tell his side of the argument and blow small out of proportion with his as his sisters get o ff scot free when
they've done worse things.
Lincoln decided to push those thought away as he joins the Sweetwaters for dinner as they thanked him of
helping Lindsay, who for some reason insisted on having Becky next to him at all times, from the car ride to
sitting next to each other dinner.
Becky had no problems with this as she scoots closer to Lincoln every time and would give her sister a thumbs
up.
(Flashback end)
Ever since then thinks have been tense at the Loud house as everyone seems on edge, Lynn Sr and Rita have
been receiving some negative feedback from the public scolding that Albert gave them as Parents wonder how
they raise their kids.
Lincoln's sisters have also gained some negative comments online and some whispers every now and again
except for Lucy, Lisa, Lana and Lily as they were the only ones that had his back.
Still, while Luna, Luan, and Leni feel somewhat ashamed by their part, Lori, Lynn, and Lola still believe that it's
Lincoln's fault for 'going against them', as they began to shun him.
"I need a break" Lincoln thought as he stopped punching the boulder "Everything at home is just too much right
now"
Lincoln considered going to the Gus's games and grub with his friends before shaking his head "Lori's working
their today so it would be pointless" He thought as Lori is petty enough to bother them there and that most of
his friends are still too preoccupied.
That's when Lincoln realized that it's Saturday "Wait a minute, I might not be able to hang out with my friends
here" A small smile graced his lips as he remembers the one good thing to come from his sisters stupid protocol.
"But I can see if the ghouls are free as they should be in town right about now."
With that thought Lincoln's fist was covered in a yellow flame like aura as he punches the boulder once more, as
the force of the punch caused the wind around him to whip past him wildly before settling as Lincoln's fist is
elbows deep with spider web like crakes on the surface. a1
The cracks continued to spread as the boulder soon began to crumble freeing Lincoln's hand which was now
even worse as small cuts riddled his arm up to his elbow, his knuckles dripping more blood.
"Huh?" Lincoln wonders as he looks at the damage "even though I can tell that it hurts I don't really feel most of
the pain, though I suppose a ft er going through ' That' it would feel weak in comparison"
Lincoln still remembers the pain when his body changed and compared to it this was a paper cut. After looking
at the damage he'd done with the new skill he was practicing he shook his head.
"Looks like I still need to practice this one" Lincoln thought looking at once was a boulder "Not only was my
hand injured this badly but the boulder should have shattered with that." a1
"Well I better head home to wrap up my hand before I see the ghouls" Lincoln thought as he sunk into the
shadow of a tree. "I not wanting them to see how injured my hands are."
Lincoln head poked out from a bush that's right next to his house, He used
was watching as he hopped out of his hiding place and went into the house, once inside he notices that their are
voices arguing up stairs
"From were the sounds are coming from they're in Lori and Leni's room, so they must be having a meeting"
he surmised as he goes upstairs to get the first aid kit.
~ten minutes earlier~
"I hear by call this meeting to order" Lori declares as she bangs a shoe on her nightstand. a3
"Now I would lik-" Lori started but was cut off my Lynn
"Hold up, why are those traitors here!?" Lynn demanded as she pointed to Lucy, Lisa, and Lana as the first two
just looked at her impassively, the later flinches.
"Well I was going to address it before I was interrupted" Lori said glaring at her sporty sister "So if I can continue
then I would like to say that before we begin the main topic their are some people here that need to apologize
for going against the rest of us." a3
Lori, Lynn, and Lola all crossed their arms as they glared at the sisters who ratted them out, Lucy and Lisa still
have the same impassive loos on their faces as Lana looks down and starts to fidget with her hands.
Leni, Luna, Luan and Lily just stayed on the sidelines as they don't want any part in this.
It was quiet for a moment as they all waited for something to happen.
"Well were waiting" Lucy said cutting the silence as Lori raised an eyebrow
"Waiting for what?" Lori asked the young goth
"You said that their are some people here that needs to apologize to the others" Lisa said as she adjusts her
glasses "So we are waiting for the apology"
Luna, Luan and Lily's mouths hanged open in shock as Leni looked confused wondering who was going to
apologize and who was going to get it?
"Who needs an apology? Do I know them?" Leni thought before a panicked look appeared on her face" wait who
said that?...SOMEONE'S IN MY HEAD AGAIN!!!
Leni was soon brought out of her internal struggle as Lynn started to laugh.
"Haha ha" Lynn laughed "Now that's funny, maybe you should be a comedian like Luan"
"Ya" Luan said liking the idea of another jokester in the house "We could make so many 'Punny' jokes together,
ha ha ha get it? Luan laughed as everyone groans
"Ok I changed my mind" Lynn says, as the thought of two Luans is just too much for her "But you have to be out
of your mind if you think we owe you an apology"
Lana was still looking at the ground nervously fidgeting with her hands but Lucy and Lisa shared a quick look to
each other before looking back at them.
"Your right" Lucy says as Lori, Lynn, and Lola started to have smug looks but quickly fell as Lucy then said "You
really owe Lincoln an apology"
"How do we owe him an apology" Lola says as her face starts to turn red "When he's the one that went AGAINST
ME!?!" Lola yells as she was tempted to pull out her hair.
"you should have respected his decision as he has said he was busy" Lisa replies calmly "But you decided to
retaliate thus causing our youngest sibling distress" She pointed to Lily who was holding the newly repaired
Bun-Bun protectively as she glares at Lola.
"It's also our parental units fault for not even trying to properly punish you, which made our brother decide to
properly teach you a lesson and that was by literally beating you at your own game in the worst way possible Lisa said as a look of respect appeared on her face "Which I must say was genius as he planned for everything,
he even invited Pop-Pop as a safety precaution to avoid facing whatever punishment our parental units would
have given him."
."
"I DON'T CARE" Lola shouted at the top of her lungs "HE MADE ME LOSE AND TO LINDSAY SWEETWATER OF ALL
PEOPLE!
"Ya if he could do that then he might do it again to one of us." Lori said as the others started to wonder if he'd do
the same to them.
"Do I have to remind you that he's often the one to support us and help with out activities" Lucy said looking at
everyone "He would never do that"
"He did it to me!" Lola shouted
"And we know why he did it to you" Lucy said back
"Alright enough!" Lori says banging the shoe to get their attentions
"Look can we get back on track we got to-" But before she could continue a knock came from her door as
everyone quiets down.
"Come in" Lori says as Lincoln pokes his head in.
"Hey Lori, Do you know where the first aid kit is?" Lincoln asked
"I do" Leni say with a smile as she goes into her closet "I thought I cut my finger yesterday when I when I was
doing my nails, but then Lori pointed out that it was just my red nail polish"
"Why do you need it? you got a boo boo?" Lynn says in a mocking tone as she starts to laugh, but Lincoln ignores
her.
"Can you put it outside your room Leni I need to get something" Lincoln asks as Lucy starts to feel something
wrong.
"Ok Linky" Leni says as she walks to the door with the first aid kit only for Lucy to snatch it away as Leni let out a
small "Hey!", but Lucy didn't care as she looks at her brother.
"For once Lynn asked a good question" Lucy said as Lynn also let out a "Hey" in indignation but Lucy didn't pay
any attention "Why do you need it?"
"I just got a small cut, no big deal" Lincoln says evenly as he looks at his spooky younger sister wondering what's
she thinking
Lucy then walk to the middle of the room and holds out the first aid kit "Well then can you come and get it" Lucy
simply says as the others raised an eyebrow wondering what's going on but Lisa soon catches on to what Lucy is
trying to do but stays silent.
"I have to get something from my room real qui-" Lincoln started to say but Lucy cuts him off
"But your here right, so wouldn't it be faster to just grab it right now" Lucy points out "But if you need to go get
whatever you need then I can wait." Lucy says as she sits on the floor with the first aid kit next to her.
Lincoln and Lucy stare at each other as everyone else just watches, after a moment of silence Lincoln asks "your
really going to be stubborn about this aren't you?"
Lucy nodded "I am"
"And theres nothing I say is going to change your mind it there?" Lincoln pressed
"Nothing" Lucy said with her arms crossed
After another moment of silence, Lincoln conceded.
"Fine Lucy, you win" Lincoln said as he opens the door fully
Lucy had a small satisfied smile on her face but it quickly went pale as she looks at the state of her brothers
arms, The same can be said for the rest of the girls as Lola and Luan almost fainted.
His knuckled were busted open and they were deep with cuts big and small all over his bloodied hands, his right
arm looks worse as from the tips of his finger to his elbow covered with semi-large gashes with blood making
most of his arm turn red.
Lori, Leni and Luna covered their mouths in horror as Luna covered Lily's eyes
Luan and Lola feel sick
Lynn just stared trying to comprehend what she's looking at as her pupils dilated.
Lana's legs give out as she and Lola hold each other with small tears in their eyes.
But the worst of them was Lucy and Lisa, As Lisa falls to her knees and clutching her head as the memories from
the video start to replay in her mind, Lucy was no better as she instantly thinks that it's happening again. Then all hell broke loose as they swarmed him with questions
"What happened!?!"
"Are you ok?"
a2
"Who did this to you!?"
"Should we call an ambulance?"
"Guys, Guys-" Lincoln tries to say something but they continue to talk over him, So he took his left hand and
brought it to his lips
~PHWWWWWHHT~
Lincoln does a loud whistle as that got their attention.
"Do I have your attention?" Lincoln asked as they nodded "Good"
"So just to make sure we're clear, I'm fine" Lincoln says "No one did this to me, it was just an accident."
"And what type of accident caused THAT!?" Lori demanded as she points at her little brothers hands slightly
cringing looking at it
"Wel-" Lincoln was about to answer but then Lucy cut him off
"Is it happening again?" Lucy asked as they all looked at her "Your right arm looks not as bad a when you first
changed, but it does look similar enough even if it's not your whole body, so is it happening again?"
The ones who haven't seen the video were shocked and disgusted, if his arm looks bad right now they started to
feel sick not wanting to know what it looked like then.
Luan had to fight to stop herself from throwing up after she almost imagined it
Lincoln just looks at his little sister considering his next words.
"Lucy I can promise you that it's not like last time" Lincoln says as they are relieved somewhat, but still worried
about his injury "Like I said this was from an accident"
"Then what happened?" Lucy interrogated
"Can I wrap up my hands as I answer?" Lincoln asks as they realize that he's still bleeding
"I can do it for you" Luna said as she takes the First aid kit as Lincoln opens his mouth but Luna stops him "This
isn't negotiable" She says as she starts disinfecting the wounds.
"Now how did this happen?" Lucy demanded as the others took a step back as they've never seen Lucy like this
before.
"It was just some training, nothing more" Lincoln says nonchalantly as Lucy looks close to slapping him
"Training for what?" Lynn asked as she wonders what he could be training for.
"For nothing" Lincoln answers prepared to give them a half truth "It just became a hobby as it helps clear my
head.
"If whatever training you do does this" Luna says gesturing to his injuries "Then that might be the blood loss
bro"
"What were you doing anyway punching a rock, hehe" Luan said not being able to make a pun but still tries to
lighten the mood a little, but when Lincoln didn't answer her forceful chuckle dies as they start to stare, Luna
even stops to look at his face.
"That was a joke Lincoln" Luan pointed out "You haven't been doing that right?"
Still no answer
"Right!?"
"Are you almost done Luna?" Lincoln asked as that was all the answers they needed, to be honest he felt
horrible when he saw their faces but he just doesn't trust them with the truth but some of them have earned a
great deal of it.
"J-Just wrapping it up bro" Luna said nervously wondering what's going thorough her little brothers head "Why
the rush? you got a date?" she said jokingly
"No just meeting up with some friends" Lincoln told them
"I thought they were still busy?" Lana asked
"They are but I'm talking about some new friends I've made" Lincoln said as they all grew suspicious about
these 'new friends'
"Are these the same once that helped you shop for clothes" Lola asked
"No, That was Thorn, Luna(H) and Dusk that helped me" Lincoln answered as they grew wide eyes
"Wait, wait, wait your on first name bases with the HEX GIRLS?" Luna said in shock as Lincoln nodded.
"And they were the ones that went shopping with you?" Lucy questioned I nodded again
"Do you like, still talk to them?" Leni asked as I nodded again, I do still text or face time them every once in a
while, but I don't do it often as I don't want to call them when their busy.
"Though the clothes I'm wearing is the one I picked out" Lincoln said gesturing to my outfit
"Ok we're getting sidetracked" Lori said "Lets focus, are these 'new friends' responsible for you doing this to
your arm." Lori said pointing at my arm.
"No" Lincoln said a little defensive, but she just practically accused of the ghouls of being the cause of his injury.
"I Started doing this before I meet them"
"And where did you meet them at?" Lori pressed as the other started to agree with her "Who even are they"
"None of your business" Lincoln told her as he yanked his hand away from Luna and proceeded to finish
wrapping his arm and hands
"Thanks for the help Luna but I got the rest" Lincoln told her before facing Lori "I'm going to my room and will
finish wrapping my arm, After that I'll be out till 8 so you can let Mom and Dad know" Lincoln said as he walks
out the room, leaving it in silence.
"What are we going to do now dudes?" Luna asked
"He seemed defensive about these 'friends' of his" Lisa observed
"Oh, so now your on our side?" Lynn said with a raised eyebrow
"You wish" Lisa says as she rolls her eyes "I'm just worried for our brother especially after he walked in like that."
"So what are we like going to do" Leni wondered
"Lets wait outside his door and stop him from leaving until he tells us everything" Lynn suggested.
"Don't forget he also has that inflatable slid at his window" Lana reminded them
"I got it, Leni, Luan, Lucy and Lola" Lisa pointed to each of them "You four will wait outside his door and stop
him if he tries to leave.
"Luna, Lynn and Lana will wait outside, just incase he does use the slid" Lisa continued "As myself, Lori, and Lily
shall be in Vanzilla as we get things ready just incase he slips away, so we can follow him.
Everyone thought about the plan and believes in could work as it leaves Lincoln with no escape route.
They all nodded to the plan.
"Ok everyone lets get into positions" Lori said as they all dispersed
Well almost everyone
"Lisa I have a question" Leni said to the little genius
"And what could that possibly be Leni?" Lisa asked her as everyone looks over
"What's that voice I keep hearing whenever I think" Leni asked worried "It sounds a lot like me"
"You mean your conscious?" Lisa asked with an eye brow raised
"Oh ya that's what it is" Leni stated looking pleased that she remembers now as everyone just face-palms
"Thank you Lisa you so smart"
"Happy I could help" Lisa says evenly "Now Lets get started on the plan, ok"
"Ok" Leni agreed looking happy as they all left the room.
