19. Need for speed

Warning: This chapter has some dark scenes. You have been warned.

It was a late night in Royal Woods, Fircracker is flying through the city. "Hey girls anything to report?" He asked.

"Nothing to report bro." Amplifier answers. "You find anything?"

"Nope. Just another boring night." Firecracker sighed.

"Can we go home now?" Wildgirl asks. "I'm tired."

"Me too." Crystal Princess says.

"Ok everyone let's go home." said Speed Queen.

"Finally." Firecracker says. He's about to turn around and head home when he sees something moving rather quickly through the street. "Um, guys? I found something and it is moving fast!"

"Stay on him. We'll meet up with you in a few minutes." Speed Queen orders.

"You got it!" Firecracker replied and followed the fast object.

He flies closer and sees that the figure running is human.

"Hey! Pull over!" Firecracker shouts.

"You talking to me pipsqueak?" The person asks. "You talking to Johnny Speed?"

"Yeah that's right!" Firecracker shouted.

Firecracker flew closer to get a closer look. When he does, he sees a fair skinned man about wearing a black and red full body tracksuit with sunglasses.

"Well, firework, try to keep up." Johnny Speed says.

Johnny Speed picks up the speed and runs off. "Whoa! He's faster than Speed Queen!" Firecracker said,

"What!?" Speed Queen shouts.

"Your comlink was still on Firecracker." Ms. Appear tells him.

"Dang it." Firecracker mutters.

"Not cool Lame-o." Ronnie Anne replied on the comlink.

"There is literally no way that he's faster than me." Speed Queen said.

"Well I think he is. I'm having trouble keeping up with him." Firecracker tells them.

"I'm near your location little brother!" Parkour shouted while riding on her ATV.

"Parkour he's coming towards you!" Firecracker warns.

"No problem." Parkour says with a smile.

Parkour gets in the way and punches something in the face. "I got him!" Parkour shouted.

"Parkour you idiot!" Black Ice said while rubbing her chick.

"Black Ice? I thought you were the speedster." Parkour told her.

"Well I'm not. I was trying to slow him down and then you punched me in the face." Black Ice said angrily.

"Sorry." Parkour apologized. "Where did he go?"

"He's coming our way." Wildgirl tells them.

"We got this." Crystal Princess adds.

"So what's the plan?" Wildgirl asked.

"Easy we trap him!" Crystal Princess smirked.

"Got it." Wildgirl goes octopus to prepare to grab Speed. Crystal Princess created a wall to stop him. They see something coming towards them. The figure avoids the wall but doesn't avoid the octopus arms.

"We got him!" Crystal Princess says.

"No you don't." Crystal Princess shines a light and sees that it wasn't Johnny Speed. It was Ms. Appear. "Nice catch. Put me down."

"Sorry." Wildgirl says.

"I'm getting this speed punk!" Speed Queen said. "Firecracker, Amplifier, Greenthumb give me a hand!"

"On it!" Fircracker said.

"You got it sis!" Amplifer replied.

"Poo poo!" Greenthumb replied.

"Guys Speed is heading towards an intersection." Clyde tells then. "You should be able to corner him."

"Alright let's get him!" Speed Queen shouted.

"Guys I got him in my sights." Firecracker says.

Firecracker ignites his fits with flames and shouted. "Meteor punch!"

Firecracker hits his target. However the target turned out to be Multiple Girl.

"Ouchies. Firecracker, that wasn't nice." Multiple Girl scolded.

"I'm sorry Muiltipe Girl, I thought that was Johnny Speed." Fircracker said,

"Just be more careful." Multiple Girl tells him. She then looks behind Firecracker and sees something running towards them. "Is that Johnny Speed?"

"Don't know. Let me shine some light." Firecracker says. Firecracker lights up his fists. "Already do you want a firey fist?!" He said.

"No. Would you like a full speed punch to the face?" Johnny asks. He then goes and tackles Firecracker at full speed and super speed kicks Multiple Girl.

Amplifer arrives on the scene and sees those two impact on a brick wall. "Not cool bro." said Amplifer and shot a stream of lightning at Johnny Speed.

Johnny Speed dodges but behind him was Prodigy and she got zapped.

"That hurt." Prodigy says before collapsing.

"Sorry sis." Amplifier says.

"Not as sorry as your gonna be." Speed says. He then runs at her and punches her in the face with such force that she flies back into a car.

Greenthumb used the trees to hit Johnny Speed, but ends up hitting Ms. Appear.

"Why!?" Ms. Appear wails. Johnny Speed then picks Greenthumb up and runs her up to the top of a flagpole.

"Hope you enjoy the view!" Johhny says before returning to the ground where he is met by Speed Queen.

"So you're this speedster I hear so much about?" Speed Queen asked.

"That's me. Johnny Speed at your service." Speed says. "Try to keep up." He then runs off with Speed Queen right behind him.

Speed Queen chases away Johnny Speed. "Don't let him get away!" She shouted.

"Ok. We'll be a few miles behind you." Ms. Appear yells. "So where is Greenthumb?" They all hear crying and see Greenthumb on the flagpole.

"I'll get her." Wildgirl says. Wildgirl turns into gorilla and climbs up the flagpole to get Greenthumb.

Speed Queen trying to get Johnny Speed. "You're all mine Johnny!" Speed Queen shouted.

"Sorry sweet cheeks but you're not my type." Johhny taunts. He slows down and as soon as Speed Queen catches up, he trips her. "Warch your step!"

"I literally hate you." Speed Queen said.

"Oh I know. I hate you and your team too." Johnny says. "You put my brother in jail. You know him as Squatch."

"Squatch is your brother?" Speed Queen asks shocked.

"Yeah he's my brother." Johnny said. "You threw him in prison"

"He nearly killed my sister!" Speed Queen argues.

"I know. It's a shame he failed." Johnny Speed tells her.

"But I'll make sure you're placed in the same prison as him!" Speed Queen said and got up

"Let's go pretty girl." Johnny says. The two runs towards each other and start punching each other at super fast speeds with Johnny getting the upper hand in the exchange. He then speeds behind her and kicks her in the back.

Speed Queen recovers from the attack and try to punch him, but he dodges the punches within seconds.

"Wow. You are slow." Johnny tells her. His hand starts vibrating. "Welp, time to kill you." He's about to finish her off when he's tackled by a ball of fire. "Well if it isn't firework."

"Leave my sister alone!" Firecracker shouted.

"Maybe I will." Johnny Speed said and glared at Firecracker.

"Huh?" Firecracker says.

"Because I have found something more annoying to kill." Johnny tells him. "You." Johnny gets up and starts running around Firecracker. At first he's confused, but he sees that the fire on his hands are out he then starts having trouble breathing. "Tell me Firework, what happens when you take oxygen from fire?"

Firecracker couldn't answer due to heavy breathing and drops to his knees.

He grabs his chest and starts to wheeze. Speed Queen looks up and sees Johnny circling Firecracker.

"No." Speed Queen gasps.

Speed Queen presses a button on her watch to call the rest of the L-Crew to her location and then runs to tackle Johnny Speed.

She tackles him and sees Firecracker collapse to the ground, not moving.

"Firecracker!" Speed Queen shouts frantically. She looks down and sees Johnny smiling.

"Well what's it gonna be hero?" Johnny asks mockingly. "Stop the villian? Or check on your brother? Bet you wish you had Multiple Girl's powers." Speed Queen screams and runs to Firecracker's side. Johnny Speed gets up and smiles. "See ya slowpoke." He then runs off.

Speed Queen presses on his chest and tried to get him to breath. "No, no, no! Don't die on me little brother!" She shouted.

She continues to press his chest. She puts her ear to his chest and still doesn't hear anything.

"Dude, what's going on?" Speed Queen turns around and sees her sisters have arrived.

"Guys! Lincoln isn't breathing!" Speed Queen shouts.

"No!" The sisters shouted.

"Stand back!" Amplifer rubbed her hands together and shouted. "CLEAR!"

She presses her hands on Firecracker and gently shocks him. Nothing.

"Please Luna. Save him." Wildgirl begs through tears.

"I don't want to lose my big brother." Crystal Princess cries.

"CLEAR!" Amplifier shouts. She shocks him again and still nothing. "C'mon bro. Don't die on me."

"I like talking to spirits, but I don't want my brother to be one of them." Black Ice laments.

"Please don't go Linky!" Muiltipe Girl cried.

"CLEAR!" Amplifer shouted and shocks him again but this time. She hears groaning.

She looks down and sees Firecracker slowly wake up.

"What happened?" He asks. He is then tackled by the twins.

"We're so happy that you aren't dead!" They say in unison.

"Usually I'm not for these types of emotions. But," Prodigy says. She then runs up to him crying. "I'm so glad your ok elder brother!"

"The last thing I remember there was a bright light and I think I saw Gram Gram." said Fircreacker.

"You're alive Lame-o!" Ronnie Anne cheered

"Glad your ok buddy." Clyde says.

"Yeah Linc. You really had us worried." Md. Appear says while holding an upset Greenthumb.

"Winky." Greenthumb babbles while reaching towards her brother.

"Yeah. I can't believe you almost died." Parkour says, still sounding shaken. Speed Queen eyes widened when she heard that.

"He almost died." Speed says quietly.

"You Ok Lori?" Muiltipe Girl asked.

"I'm fine." Speed Queen lied. "Let's go home and call it a night."

"Right. Lisa can look Lincoln over in the morning." Amplifier says.

Speed Queen is running thought the city, until she sees Johnny Speed.

"Ok Johnny! Your literally going to prison!" Speed Queen shouts. "The rest of the team will be here soon." Johnny chuckles and turns to face her. "What's so funny?"

"Simple. You were to late." Johnny tells her. "They showed up a little while ago. And here are the results of the fight." He steps aside and Speed Queen gasps at what she sees. The rest if the L-Crew lyingon the ground. Dead.

"Nooo! No!" Speed Queen cried.

"Well I better let you mourn." Johhny says.

He runs off while Speed Queen looks after him.

"Get back here!" Speed Queen shouts. She about to go after him when something grabs her leg.

She sees the decomposing corpses of her siblings, grabbing her leg. "Why Lori?" He asked.

"You could of saved." Lola said.

"Why were you so slow?" Lisa asked.

"Poo poo." Lily babbles.

"I didn't know. I'm sorry!" Speed Queen shouted.

"Now you will pay the price!" Lucy said as the rest of her dead siblings began to grab her and drag her underground.

"No! No! NO!" Speed Queen screams as she's being pulled underground.

Lori jolts out of bed breathing heavily. "Lori are you Ok?" Leni asked.

"Leni? Is that you?" Lori asks while putting her hands on her sister's face.

"Um yeah. Unless I'm not Leni." Leni then gasps. "Who am i?" Lori then wraps her arms around her.

"Your alive!" Lori cries.

"I thought my name was Leni?" said Leni. "But my real name is alive."

"You are Leni." Lori tells her. She then gasps. "The others!" She then runs out the room to Luna and Luan's room.

She sees Luna with cream pie on her face caused by Luan. "So my pieapult works." said Luan.

"Yeah I'm standing on a carpet." said Luna and smirked.

"Uh oh." Luan says fearfully. Before Luna can do something, Lori runs up to the two of them and engulfs them in a hug.

"Your alive. Thank God!" Lori says with relief.

"Did we miss something?" Luan asked.

"Lynn and Lucy." Lori said and ran to their room.

The girls walk to Lynn and Lucy's room and sees Lori hugging Lynn and Lucy tightly.

"Lori! Release!" Lynn begs.

"We can't breathe!" Lucy groans.

"The twins!" Lori gasps before running to the twins's room.

When Lori reached the twins' room she sees Lola and Lana fighting as quietly as possible. "Lana, tell Hops to stay off my princess car!" Lola shouted quietly.

"It was dark and frogs can't see in the dark!" Lana rebuttle.

They look up and see Lori standing in the doorway.

"You two are alive!" Lori hugged the twins.

"Uh What Just happened?" Lola asked and Lana shrugs.

"Lisa and Lily!" Lori gasped and ran to their run, only to see the two awake.

"And that Lily is what will happen in one thousand years." Lisa was saying while Lily played with her stuffed bear and dog.

"Ok they're ok." said Lori and looked at the door to Lincoln's room. She slowly opens the door only to reveal Lincoln is not there.

"No. It can't be!" Lori screams which awakens Charles from his nap on Lincoln's bed.

"Whoa Lori. What's going on?" Charles asks.

"Lincoln!" Lori falls to her knees and cries into her hands. She then hears a toilet flush.

Lincoln exits the bathroom and walks to his room only to see Lori. "Lori why are you crying?" Lincoln asked.

"YOU'RE ALIVE!" Lori exclaims before wrapping her arms around him. Lincoln looks back at his sisters with a confused expression.

"Um, does anyone know what's go on?" Lincoln asks.

"We're just as lost as you." Lucy answers. Cliff, Walt, and Geo make their way upstairs with concern on their faces.

"We heard shouting. What's up?" Walt asks.

"It's a long story." said Lincoln.

"Are you kids okay up there?!" Rita shouted from downstairs.

"Yeah mom. We're good." Luna shouts back.

"Ok. Just go to back to bed." Rita tells then.

The siblings all went back to bed and Cliff followed Lori into her room.

Lori looks at Cliff with confusion.

"Cliff, what are you doing?" Lori asks.

"My job." Cliff answers. He then jumps onto the bed and gets comfortable. He then looks up at her with a smile. "You gonna join me or not?"

"Yeah sure." Lori said and went back to sleep.

The next morning, Lori left early and headed towards the base. When she got there, she saw Clyde was already at the base.

"Hey Clyde." Lori greeted.

"L-Lori." Clyde stutters. He's about to faint when Lori grabs him.

"Clyde, this is serious. I need your therepy expertise." Lori tells him.

"You need therepy?" Clyde asks.

"Yes." Lori sighed. "It's about last night."

"Have a seat on the therepy couch that Lana dug out from the trash." Clyde tells her. Lori gives him a grossed out look. "Don't worry. Lola and Leni washed it."

Lori sat down on the therepy couch and lied down. "You see I had this nightmare about Johnny Speed Killing my siblings." Lori explained.

"That's dark." Clyde replied.

"Yeah. It scared me." Lori said.

"Where did all this start?" Clyde asks.

"After Lincoln died." Lori answered. "After I saw him die right in front of me, I felt powerless. Even after Luna brought him back, I felt like I failed as a big sister."

"I understand what you mean Lori." Clyde replied

"Johnny Speed only did this because we threw his brother away." Lori said

"Speed wanted you to feel what he felt when Squatch was thrown in jail. So he killed Lincoln as a compensation." Clyde says.

"I still failed to protect him. Now that I think about it, i failed multiple times. Some of those times were my fault." Lori lamented.

"Don't say that Lori. I'm pretty sure you're a good big sister at times." said Clyde

"Clyde, I screwed up multiple times. The sister fight protocol incident. After we were done arguing the second time I went to go to Lincoln's room to give him a piece of my mind. But when i got up there, he was waiting for me." Lori paused for a second. "He looked at me and I saw anger in his eyes. He then turned around and told me to do whatever I wanted to him."

"Did you?" Clyde asks

"I couldn't. I couldn't hurt him. He then turned around and called me a coward and stupid for fighting Leni over a stupid dress." Lori told him. "We spent three weeks making it up to him. Heck, we even let him get rid of the dress and change the Sister Fight Protocol to the Sibling Fight Protocol."

"See, you're a good sister." Clyde tells her.

"But I still screwed up." Lori said. "Especially the bad luck debacle."

"Ah yes I remember. Part me of wanted to call you a bad human being and some unspeakable words." Clyde replied.

"But we made up to him when he passed out from the heat. Even Bobby and Ronnie Anne were furious at me, Bobby gave me the silent treatment for literally a month." said Lori.

"Yikes." Clyde says. "How about your thoughts on the beach."

"Well, I remember Luna took Lincoln with her to explore the beach. She claimed that she wanted his luck to help her find a new intrument in the sand. But deep down, I knew she was gonna have him take the suit off." Lori said. "But literally not long after they left, Luna comes running back with him on her back in a frantic panic. She said that he passed out when they were walking on the beach. As soon as i saw him, I realized again that I failed to protect him. I shoulda tried harder to convince the rest of the family that he wasn't bad luck. Even with Leni, Luna and Luan saying the same thing I was, mom and dad still believed Lynn."

"Well Lynn is a sore loser." said Clyde.

"Yeah I know." said Lori. "I mean mom and dad almost got sent to jail for kicking out Lincoln. Lincoln saved them. After that, they got Lincoln some new furniture and Lynn was grounded for a month." Lori tells him. "They even made her wear the squirrel suit. But even after everything came out well in the end i still felt like I failed to protect him. And not just him, I feel like I failed to protect all of them. Any one of my siblings couldn've been killed by Johnny. Lucy, Lana, Luna, Lily. Dear God Lily. I don't even want to imagine that."

"It's ok Lori. But you can stop Johnny Speed." Clyde said.

"But he's too fast. But not for long." Lori said.

"What do you mean?" Clyde asks.

"Where's Ronnie Anne?" Lori asks.

Ronnie Anne walked into the warehouse ready to plan the L-Crew's next training session.

"Maybe I should have them spar. See how well their fighting skills are." Ronnie Anne says to herself.

"Hey future sis in law." Lori greeted with a sly smile.

"Hey Lori. What's up?" Ronnie Anne asks.

"Just wanted to see my brother's girlfriend." Lori said while bopping her on the nose with her finger.

"Cut the crap Lori. What do you want?" Ronnie asks while crossing her arms.

"I need you to train me to be faster than Johnny Speed!" Lori begged.

"Here's my response, no!" said Ronnie Anne.

"What? Why not?" Lori asks.

"Two reasons." Ronnie answers. "One, the training that I would give you would would be so extreme that it might damage you both physically and mentally. Two, you're my brother's girlfriend and my boyfriend's sister. I can't in good consciousness give you this training."

"You don't understand I failed as a big sister to protect Lincoln. When he was born I made a promise to be a good big sister, to my little brother." Lori said. "But I failed with the sister fight protocol, and the whole bad luck thing. I failed as a big sister and a first born."

"My answer is still no Lori!" Ronnie Anne replied.

"I literally threw my heart out!" Lori protested and the she got a idea.

"Lincoln was telling me that you were struggling with this big video game boss."

"Yeah. So?" Ronnie grumbled.

"Well I so happen to have a guide book that explains how to defeat every boss in your game." Lori said. She then pulls the book out from behind her. "And look what I got." She hands the book to Ronnie Anne. "So what do you say?"

Ronnie Anne looks at Lori and smiles. "No."

"Ok so that's a no to Ace Savy: Solitare city guide. But I know your secret Ronnie Anne." Lori smirked.

"What secret?" Ronnie Anne asks.

"I know that you dress up like Rapunzel from Tangled and reenact the romance scenes with a picture of Lincoln on a teddy bear." Lori said with a smirk.

"You got no proof." Ronnie Anne says nervously.

"Oh really?" Lori said and took out her phone and showed pictures of Ronnie Anne in her room and dressed like Rapunzel reenacting the scenes from Tangled.

Ronnie Anne's eyes widen. "How did you find out? Better yet, how did you get this video?"

"Simple, Bobby told me and sent me the video." Lori answers with a smile. "He'll do anything when i touch his sweet spot on his neck."

"First off, you monster and second, ew!" Ronnie Anne replied.

"I bet Lincoln would love to see this." Lori added.

"Fine I'll train you." said Ronnie Anne sighing in defeat.

"Good. Let's get started. Also, don't tell my siblings." Lori says.

"I won't." said Ronnie Anne.

"Good. So where do we start?" Lori asks.

"It will destroy you." said Ronnie Anne.

"Just tell me." Lori groaned.

"We are going to first give you heavier weights." Ronnie Anne tells her. "You were currently doing thirty pounds. I'm going to double that."

"Triple it." Lori says.

"Are you crazy!?" Ronnie Anne questioned.

"Triple it." Lori said.

"Lori, your talking about ninety pounds strapped to your legs." Ronnie Anne tells her.

"I know." Lori says.

Ronnie Anne strapped ninety pounds to Lori's legs. "Ok thirty laps around the base." said Ronnie Anne,

Lori starts running and is visibly struggling.

"C'mon." Lori grunted.

"Lori just stop. Just do sixty pounds." Ronnie Anne begs.

"No. Don't take any weights off." Lori growls.

"This is not going to end well." Ronnie Anne said.

A few hours later, Lori finishes doing her thirty laps.

"Ok. What's next?" Lori asks.

"What's next is you take a break." Ronnie Anne tells her. "The others are going to be here soon. I'm just shocked they aren't yet."

"They had things to do. Also Lincoln is taking an art class." Lori tells her. "So, again i ask what's next?"

"Take a break and then we'll test your running." Ronnie Anne said.

"No. We test the running now." Lori tells her.

"But-" Ronnie Anne starts but Lori interrupts her.

"NOW!" Lori shouts.

"Ok fine!" Ronnie Anne said. "Your old speed is 290 miles per hour." said Ronnie Anne.

"I'll go 300!" said Lori,

"Lori, think about this!" Ronnie Anne begs.

"I have and I plan on going faster. I need to be faster than Johnny." Lori argues.

"But your pushing yourself too much!" Ronnie protests.

"Do you have the radar gun?" Lori asked.

"Yes and I think you should think this through." said Ronnie Anne,

"I have." Lori says. She then runs off and Ronnie Anne clocks in her speed.

"Four hundred." Ronnie Anne reports.

"Sweet!" Lori said. "But not fast enough."

"Lori, please take a break." Ronnie Anne begs.

"No way." Lori replied

"Please Lori." Ronnie begged. "Think of your health." Lori grabs Ronnie Anne by the hoodie and pulls her close.

"Listen here. We are NOT going to stop training. We are going to keep training until I am faster than Johnny Speed. And if you stop this training, I will show Lincoln that video and not just him. I will show the whole school. Do you understand?" Lori threatens.

"Yes Lori." Ronnie Anne gulped.

The two are about to start training again the rest of the L-Crew showed up with the pets.

"Yo Lori. How long you been here?" Luna asked.

"Since this morning." Lori answers. Lori looks over and sees Cliff looking at her curiously.

"You couldn't wait for us?" Luan asked.

"That's enough questions, for training I was thinking having you guys spar." said Ronnie Anne.

"Cool. I got dibs on fighting Lori!" Lynn says.

"I believe Lincoln should sit out this training session." Lisa says. "There is still a little bit of internal damage in Lincoln's chest."

"That's fine." Ronnie Anne said. "He can stay and help Clyde keep a eye out for Johnny Speed."

"Can do." Lincoln said.

"Everyone else pair up." Ronnie Anne tells them.

"I call dibs on fighting Lori!" Lynn shouted.

"I'll fight against Lola!" Luna said.

"I'll fight against Luan." Lana replied.

"I'll fight Leni." Lucy says.

"I guess i get to fight our youngest sibling." Lisa sighs.

"Poo poo!" Lily said.

They all step outside except for Lincoln. "Ok we'll start with Luna and Lola." said Ronnie Anne.

While Luna and Lola spar, Lori watches with anxiety. She needed more speed training. But her siblings had to show up at the worst possible time. Lori was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't see Luna defeat Lola.

"Nice job sis. Keep practicing." Luna tells her.

"Oh I will and I hope you will with a broken arm." said Lola.

"That's enough who's next?" Ronnie Anne asked.

"Lynn and I volunteer." Lori says.

"You sure Lori?" Ronnie Anne asked.

"Don't to all soft on us skater girl!" Lynn said and cracked her knuckles.

The two stepped onto the field and prepared to spar.

"You two ready?" Ronnie Anne asks.

"Yeah!" The two Louds replied.

"Begin!" Ronnie Anne says.

Lori dashes forward and kicks Lynn in chest.

Lynn gets back up and glares at Lori. "You're going down Lori!" Lynn shouted and tried to punch Lori in the face.

Lori dodges and sweep kicks Lynn. Lynn gets up and tries to go for a kick but Lori sidesteps.

"Too slow Lynn!" Lori chuckled.

Lori then tackles Lynn to the ground and starts punching her repeatedly.

"Lori that's enough!" Luna shouts. Lori ignores her and keeps punching Lynn.

"Stop it Lori!" Lola screams. Again Lori ignores her. She keeps hammering on Lynn until she feels someone grabs her shoulder.

"Get off me!" Lori screams. She throws her elbow back and connects with something. She then hears coughing. She turns around and sees Lincoln on the ground holding his chest. "What happened?"

"Lincoln!?" Ronnie Anne questioned.

"My chest. It hurts." Lincoln groaned. Lisa quickly gets her medical supplies.

"Easy bro. Just breathe." Luna tells him.

"It hurts." Lincoln complained.

"Just take it slow." Luan tells him. Lori stands up and starts to walk towards Lincoln, but Luan puts a forcefield up. "Don't come any closer, Lori."

"I didn't know that was Lincoln!" said Lori.

"You know Lori I may have hurt Lincoln, but I would never hurt Lincoln." Lynn said.

"What?" Leni asks.

"I would never hurt Lincoln on purpose." Lynn explained.

"Oh." Leni says getting it. Lisa returns with her first aid kit.

"Ok elder brother i need you to breathe in for me." Lisa says while pulling out her stethoscope.

Lincoln breathed in and Lisa listened in. "Stay with me Lame-o." said Ronnie Anne.

After he finished Lisa gave her diagnosis.

"Fear not everyone. Lincoln is fine. Just the wind knocked out of him. But i do believe that it's time to give him the pill." Lisa said. "Luna can't keep carrying him here." While her siblings tended to Lincoln, Lori walked into the base.

"What did I do?" Lori asked herself.

"That's what i want to know." Lori turns around and sees Cliff walking in. "What the heck happened out there Lori?"

"I was sparring with Lynn and I hit Lincoln." said Lori.

"I saw that. What i want to know is why you kept hitting Lynn even though she was down?" Cliff says.

"I don't know." Lori answered.

"That's not an answer Lori." Cliff says. "Lori, i want the truth. Now!"

"I don't know!" Lori replied.

"Tell me or I'll destroy Bobby's sweater!" Cliff shouted.

"Ok. When I saw Lynn and the way she was moving, it reminded me of Johnny Speed and I guess i snapped." Lori answers.

"Lori, your obsessed with Johnny. You have to stop before you do something crazy like do some crazy training." Cliff says.

"Why would I ever do crazy training?" Lori chuckled.

"What did you do Lori?" Cliff asks.

"I may have blackmailed Ronnie Anne into training me." Lori answers nervously.

"What?" Cliff says shocked.

"And I may have been training since this moring non-stop with ninety pounds strapped to my legs." She adds.

"Do you know what you're doing to yourself!?" Cliff asked.

"It worked I can run 400 mph." Lori said.

"But your pushing yourself to hard." Cliff protests. "What your doing isn't good for you."

"I'm trying to stop Johnny Speed before anyone of my siblings get hurt or worse." said Lori.

"But what good are you if your exausted?" Cliff argued. "Your body can't handle this type of training. Think about your health!"

"I'll be fine Cliff." said Lori.

"No you won't. And the sooner you realize it, the better." Cliff tells her. He then walks out of the base.

"I'll prove you wrong." Lori says to herself. "I'm going after Johnny." With that, she runs out of the base towards the city.

Speed Queen ran through the city looking for Johnny Speed until her phone ran and it was Bobby. "Hey Bobby." She answered her phone.

"Hey babe I was wondering if you want to hang out tonight?" Bobby asked.

"Sorry, but I'm busy tonight. You know, big plans." Speed Queen answers.

"Are you ok Lori? You sound out of breathe." Bobby asks concerned.

"I'm fine Bobby." said Speed Queen.

"Ok. Hey, how your brother doing?" Bobby asked. "Ronnie Anne told me was was in an accident yesterday."

"He's fine. He's just having some breathing issues." Speed Queen answers. She then sees Johnny running out of a bank. "Gotta go baby." She hangs up and starts to give chase.

Johnny looks behind him and sees Speed Queen. "Her again?!" He questioned

Speed Queen runs up next him and smiles.

"Hey there. Did miss me?" Speed Queen taunts.

"Kinda surprised to see you here, little girl." Johnny says. "Even more surprised to see you actually keeping up."

"Well I don't want to tell you my secret!" Speed Wueen said and punched Johnny in the face.

"Not bad." Johnny comments. "Try to keep up." He then speeds off with Speed Queen right behind him.

"You're not getting away from me this time!" Speed Queen shouted trying to keep up with Johnny.

The two speed down several streets, past Gus's Game and Grub, and past the car dealership.

"Gotta admit, your keeping up pretty good." Johnny says. "But you won't be for long." He pulls ahead and Speed Queen follows. However, Speed Queen's vision starts to get blurry.

"Gotta keep up." Speed Queen groaned.

"What's wrong? Getting tired?" Johnny asks mockingly.

"Shut up!" Speed Queen shouts angrily.

Speed Queen tried to keep it but she began to slow down.

"No. No now." Speed Queen pants. Johnny looks behind him and sees Speed Queen slowing down and smiles.

"Can't say I'm surprised." Johnny mocks. "Once a slowpoke always a slowpoke. Face it, you can't keep up with me. I'm faster, I'm stronger and I'm smarter. You are nothing!"

Speed Queen dropped to her knees and was panting.

Johnny walks up to her and grabs by the hair and pulls her back so she's looking at him.

"Your to slow." Johnny says and slams her head hard on the ground. Speed Queen looks at Johnny and then the world goes black.

Lori wakes up and sees herself back in the basr and siblings, Clyde and Ronnie Anne surrounding her. "Lori are you ok?" Walt asked.

"Yeah. I'm fine." Lori answers. "How did i get here?"

"You disappeared and we got worried." Lincoln answered. "Luna and Leni found you unconscious and Lana carried you back."

"Where did you go sis?" Luna asked.

"Out for a run." Lori said and nudged Luan's shoulder.

"No I'm going to laugh that joke. No matter how funny it is." Luan crosses her arms.

"Lori, I have something to ask you." Luna tells her.

"What is it Luna?" Lori asked.

"Why are you lying to us?" Luna asks.

"I'm not lying." said Lori.

"Cliff and Ronnie Anne told us why you left early today." Luan told her.

"They did?" Lori asked. "Well I have something that Ronnie Anne does in secret."

"She told us that to." Lana says while Ronnie Anne looked embarrassed.

"I may like princesses, but even I don't do that." Lola laughed.

"Guys, back to the subject at hand." Lincoln says getting his sisters' attention. "Ok Lori, what is wrong with you? Why would you push yourself so hard?"

"Fine I'll tell you. I was trying to be faster so I can defeat Johnny Speed." Lori sighed.

"Are you nuts?! Going after Speed yourself?" Lynn yelled. "Do you not remember what happened when I went after Squatch by myself?"

"I do but I only did it because I didn't want to lose you guys." said Lori.

"But we don't want to lose you." Lana says.

"Yeah. Your our big sister." Lola agrees.

"Yeah I can lead a team." Luna said.

"We need you Lori." Leni says. "What your doing to yourself isn't right."

"Yeah Lori." Lincoln said, "We need to take down Johnny Speed together."

"You guys are right. We need to take him down together." Lori agreed. "But he's so fast. And he doesn't seem to have a weakness."

Lily babbles something. "I think Lily is trying to tell us something?" Luan said.

Lily, babbles something again.

"She's saying that she saw something on Johnny's arm when he put her on the flagpole." Luan translates.

"What is it Lily?" Lynn asked

Lily babbles something again.

"She said it was round thing." Luan translates.

"Hey Lisa, do we have any video of Johnny?" Lori asks.

"I believe so." Lisa said and went up to the computer and found the video of Johnny.

"Can you zoom in on his right arm?" Lincoln asks.

Lisa zooms In on the right arm. "I'll enhance the image." said Clyde.

Clyde enhances the image and they all see something on Johnny's arm.

"What is that round thing?" Lana asks.

"It looks like some sort of arm band." Lynn says.

"Those things are not in style." Leni gagged.

"Hmm. Clyde look up the police reports and see if anyone filed a report about a missing arm band." Lori ordered.

"Lori, what are you doing?" Lola asked.

"I have a hunch." Lori answers.

Clyde types in police reports about on missing arm bands and searches the reports.

"I found something." Clyde says. "According to this, there was a robbery at Tetherby Industries and a arm band that the workers claimed gave the wearer superhuman speed was stolen."

"How can someone break int that place with tight security?" Ronnie Anne asked,

"Johnny must've been one heck of a thief." Clyde says.

"Why do you think Johnny broke in?" Leni asks.

"Well Johnny is wearing the arm band so he must've stole it." Clyde points out.

"Then if we destroy the arm band, we cut him off of his powers." said Lincoln.

"Yeah and he may be fast." Leni pointed out.

"Maybe we should think differently." Lucy suggested.

"He can out run me, but I can out smart him." said Lori.

"That could work." Lisa said. "If you can outsmart him, you might be able to beat him."

"Yes and I have a plan." Lori smirked.

Johnny Speed walked out of Royal Woods bank with two bags of cash in his hands.

"Almost got enough to get Squatch out of jail." Johnny says to himself.

"Hey Johnny!" Johnny looks up and seees Firecracker. "If you miss your What older or little brother you can be in the same cell as him."

"Ok. First off, he's my younger brother." Johnny says.

"Seriously?" Firecracker says surprised.

"Surprising I know." Johnny says. "And second, i see that your alive. Let's change that."

Firecracker flies up in the air and smirks. "I hate to be anti social. But I'm going to stay in the air." said Firecracker.

"Don't be a baby!" Johnny shouts.

"No, I'm being smart." Firecracker smirked,

Johnny looks at him confused when he is hit by an electric blast.

"That's for my little brother!" Amplifer shouted.

"Ok. After I kill him, I'll kill you so you two can be reunited." Speed tells her.

"The only reunion is you and your brother." Parkour said as she and Crystal Princess enter the scene on Parkour's ATV.

"So get ready to join him." Crystal Princess says while covering her body in crystals.

"No way Crystal runt." said Johnny.

"I think you should give up." said Ms. Appear with Greenthumb by her side.

"Why's that?" Johnny asks.

"Because we said so." Multiple Girl says with Wildgirl, as a tiger, right next to her.

"The game's over Johnny. Come peacefully." said Prodigy.

"Or face your demise." Black Ice said while walking out of the shadows.

"I only count ten of you. Where's your leader? To scared to face me?" Johnny taunted.

"Wrong!" Speed Queen shouted.

Johhny Speed looks around and sees Speed Queen running towards him.

"So you came for round three babe?" Johnny asked and charged towards her at full speed.

"Not really." Speed Queen answers. "Black Ice now!"

Black Ice froze the ground around everyone. Johnny tried to stop but his feet was sliding across the ice.

Johnny starts sliding and slides right into the fist of Speed Queen.

"Ok sweetheart. That was a big mistake." Johnny gets up. He starts to run towards, but he realizes he's not running at superhuman speed. "What the? How come I'm running slow?!"

Maybe because your not wearing this." Ms. Appear answers while holding the speed band in her hand. Johnny looks at his arm and sees that the band is no longer on his arm.

"My arm band!" Johnny shouted

"It doesn't belong to you faker!" Speed Queen exclImed.

"And now it never will." Firecracker says before throwing a fireball at the band.

"NOOOO!" Johnny shouted and picked up the pieces of the arm band.

"This is for killing my little brother!" Speed Queen said and punched Johnny in the face, knocking him out for the count.

"I guess you can say, he didn't see that coming." Ms. Appear jokes. "And that he was too slow."

"We get it Ms. Appear." Parkour rolled her eyes.

"Let's leave this guy for the police and leave." said Prodigy.

Firecracker punches Johnny in the face leaving him a black eye.

"That was for killing me." Firecracker says before he walks away.

"Hey guys, i want to apologize again for making you guys worry." Speed Queen says.

"No worries sis." Amplifer replied.

"But you shouldn't of lied to us." Ms. Appear told her.

know. I really am sorry." Speed Queen says. "I promise I'll make it up to you."

"How?" Firecracker asked.

"How about we go to Dairyland. My treat." Speed Queen answers.

"Sounds like a plan." said Firecracker.

"I wanna ride on the milkshaker!" Wildgirl shouted.

"We'll go tomorrow because right now, I'm exausted." Speed Queen says. "Will a group hug work for now?"

"Whatever." Black Ice replied. The L-crew All did a group hug and then all went home.

Andrew Tetherby sat at his desk watching the news report of Johnny Speed getting arrested.

*Flashback*

Johnny Meeks is crawling through the vents of Tetherby Industries until he finds the right room. "Here it is research and development." He said.

He jumps out of the vent and disables the security system. He then starts looking around at the items before him. "There's gotta be something here i can use to bust Mike out of jail."

Then he sees a red arm band on a table. "What's this?" Johnny asked.

He picks it up and examines. "I wonder what this does?"

"It's called the Speed Inducer Band." Johnny turns around and sees Andrew Tetherby behind him. "It's supposed to give the wearer superhuman speed."

"Hmmm. Really?" Johnny asked he puts it on.

As soon as he puts it on, Johnny feels a rush of energy flow through him. "Whoa."

"If you don't mind me asking, why are you here?" Andrew asks.

"To get some payback on the L-crew for taking away my little brother Mike." said Johnny

"Then I think we can help each other." Tetherby says. "I'll give you the speed band as a gift. In return, you destroy the L-Crew. What do you say?" He holds out his hand.

"You got yourself a deal." Johnny said and shook Tetherby's hand.

"Pleasure doing business with you Mr. Meeks." Tetherby says.

"No. Call me Speed. Johnny Speed." Johnny says.

Flashback over.*

Tetherby looks at the footage again and hears his phone ring.

"Hello?" Tetherby answers. "Professor Stuart. Yes I saw the footage. The speed inducer band was a success." There is a pause. "Yes. I want another one made. Add it to our little project. Goodbye." Tetherby hangs up. "Though Johnny failed, I now know that the band works. And soon, the L-Crew will be left in the dust."

Johnny is being transferred to his cell where his little brother Michael Meaks AKA Squatch is.

When they get to the cell, Johnny sees the seven foot tall hairy monster that is his younger brother.

"Been a while Mike." Johnny says as he enters the cell.

"Damn right it has." Squatch agrees. "Heard you got nabbed by the L-Crew."

"Don't remind me." Johnny groans.

"But let me tell you something brother. We'll find a way out." Squatch said.

Trust me. I know." Johnny tells him. "The L-Crew think that I'm powerless." He turns to his brother. "But I'm far from it." His hand starts moving rapidly. "And when we get out of here, the L-Crew will know better than to mess with Squatch and Johnny Speed."

"Johnny your hand is moving fast!" Squatch said.

"Well what do you know. I guess exposure to that band gave me the speed that I had before." Johnny said. "Well Mike, looks like we got some planning to do."

"And when we break out we break the L-crew." said Squatch.

"Yes little brother. We will." said Johnny.

Ronnie Anne walked into her house and saw Bobby getting ready for work.

"Hey Bobby." Ronnie Anne greeted.

"Hey Nei Nei. Just getting ready for work." Bobby tells her. "Hey, is Lori alright? She sounded exausted on the phone."

"Yeah she's fine. She's just training for shopping day sales." Ronnie Anne replied.

"Sounds like Lori." said Bobby.

"Oh that reminds me. What was it?" Oh yeah." Ronnie Anne said.

"What is it?" Bobby asks.

"If you ever learn another secret again. I'll tell Lori your secrets is that clear?" Ronnie Anne glared.

Bobby chuckled nervously and scratched the back of his head.

"Sorry about that." Bobby said. He then grabbed his head and groaned in pain.

"Are you okay?" Ronnie Anne asked.

"Just a headache. Sorry again for telling Lori about your Tangled reenactments." Bobby says.

"No worries." Ronnie Anne said. "Maybe you should call in sick?"

"No, I can work." said Bobby.

"Just don't overwork yourself." Ronnie Anne says.

"Don't worry." Bobby reassures her. He then pulls her in for a hug. "I'm fine." He looks up and looks in the mirror and sees his reflection glaring at him and almost like a giant shodow looming over them. "Just fine."
