23. Berserker's rage part 1

At the Royal Woods mall, Bobby is working at his job at Rad Fasion and was currently helping his coworker, Dana do inventory.

"So Bobby how's living with your cousins in your own house?" Dana asked.

"It's ok. But it has some downsides. Like Sergio steals my food. My cousin Carltino flirts with Lori. But it's kind of great having family here." said Bobby.

"That's good to hear." Dana says. "Mind handing me the last of the shirts?"

"Sure." Bobby says. He hands Dana the shirts, but he suddenly feels sudden pain in his head. "Gah! My head!"

Bobby clutches his head in pain but he backs up and bumps into the stepladder than Dana was standing on. Dana tilts on the stepladder and then falls down onto a clothes rack.

"Dana!" Bobby cries after he recovers from the headache. He runs over to her side and couches down. "Are you ok?"

"I think so." Dana answers. She then tries to move her arm, but can't. "I think i hurt my arm."

"Crap. Dana I'm so sorry." Bobby says. "Mr. Marcos!"

"What is it Bobby?!" Mr. Marcos called backed and sees Dana o the floor. "Oh my gosh are you okay?"

"Her arm is broken!" Bobby reported.

"I'll call 911!" Mr. Marcos shouted.

A few hours later, the paramedics arrive and take Dana to the hospital. After they are gone, Mr. Marcos turns to Bobby.

"How did this happen?" Mr. Marcos asked.

"Well I was helping her until I got a bad headache and I accidentally hit the stepladder causing her to fall." said Bobby. "I can cover the rest of her shift Mr. Marcos."

No Bobby." Mr. Marcos sighs. "You won't. Look, Bobby for the past few days you have been yelling at customers and arguing with your co-workers. And today, Dana was hurt because of one of your headaches."

"What are you saying?" Bobby asks even though he knows the answer.

"Bobby you're fired." said Mr. Marcos.

"You can't fire me I have big family to provide!" Bobby begged.

"I'm sorry Bobby but your fired. Grab your stuff and leave." Mr. Marcos says before heading back to his office.

Bobby sighs as he grabs his stuff and exits Rad Fashion. He texted his mom and Ronnie Anne about the bad news.

He puts his phone away and starts to walk home. As he's walking, he starts to think about his boss and how he was fired. As he does this, he starts to get angry.

"Fired from one of my stupid headaches. I have a big family to provide like my Mom and Uncle Carlos. But he didn't care one bit." Bobby went on until it hit him. "Yeah he didn't even care!

He continues walking and as he walks he get angrier and angrier. He then suddenly gets a headache.

"Aah! My head!" Bobby yells in pain. "This isn't like the other ones. This feels worse." He then stumbles into an alleyway. "He fired me for a headache! Carlino is always trying to hit on Lori! No one understands! Nobody gets it!"

Bobby's eyes turned orange and his skin was turning into a reddish colour. His clothes began to tigthen, his two shirts ripped aparted and his shoes ripped open due to his growing size.

His arms and legs grow in size as well as in strength. As soon the transformation is done Bobby is no longer there. In his place stands a monster. The monster releses a mighty roar and then jumps away.

The Loud and friends were at the base chilling. Luna and Sam were cuddling and listening to music.

"Babe, this is paradise." Luna says. "Got my Mick Swagger and my one girl. What more could I want?"

"Couldn't agree more." Sam says before giving her a peck on the lips. In the shadows, Lucy and Fangs are preparing for a seance.

"So who are we contacting again?" Fangs asked.

"Great grandma Harriet. Her spellbook is just like Maggie's maybe there could be a way to fix her." said Lucy.

"Ok. So are we just waiting on Luan?" Fangs asks.

"Yes." Lucy answers. "She's willing to do anything to help Maggie and the spellbook said nothing about fixing this spell."

"Ok Lucy I'm here." said Luan.

"Good now let's fix your girlfriend." said Lucy.

"SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!" Luan shouts. Outside, Lana, Lola and Hops are playing Princess and Knight.

"Ok, what am I doing?" Hops asks.

"Simple, your the monster attacking the castle." Lana explains.

"You attack and Lana defends." Lola adds.

"What do you do?" Hops asks.

"Simple being the princess." said Lola.

"Just go with it Hops," Lana whispered.

"Ok." Hops sighed.

Back inside, Lincoln is playing another game of cards with Charles, Cliff, Walt and Geo while Ronnie Anne and Clyde watch.

"I think i got Cliff beat this time." Lincoln whispers.

"You sure?" Clyde asks.

"Yeah you always lose to him." Ronnie Anne argeed.

"I can handle it Ronnie." Lincoln smirked.

As Ronnie Anne watches the game, she hears her phone go off. She pulls it out and sees that it's Maria calling.

Ronnie Anne answers her phone." Hey mom." She answered.

"Hey Ronalda. Is Roberto with you?" Maria asked.

"No. Why?" Ronnie Anne asks.

"He's not home!?" Ronnie Anne asked.

"I'm worried about him. I still couldn't believe he got fired." Maria sighed.

"I'm sure Bobby would find a new job. You know him well." said Ronnie Anne.

"Ha! In your face! I win again boys!" Cliff shouts.

"What was that?" Maria asked.

"Just Lincoln playing a game of cards with a couple friends." Ronnie Anne answers quickly.

"A couple of friends?" Maria asked.

"Yeah he has more friends then me and Clyde." said Ronnie Anne.

"Well ok. Now if you hear from your brother, let me or your aunt and uncle know. Ok?" Maria says.

"Will do." Ronnie Anne promises before hanging up. Back at the card game, Cliff is celebrating his victory.

"Looks like the cat is out of the bag and I win again." said Cliff.

"Bobby's not home." said Ronnie Anne and This grabs Lori's attention.

"That's not right." Lori says.

"I know." Ronnie Anne agrees. "Especially with how he's been acting lately."

"I know how you feel. Bobby literally yelled at this one person for accidentally spilling his Pepsi on him." Lori said. "Not to mention he keeps getting headaches."

"I think he should really see a doctor about that." said Ronnie Anne.

"Yeah. But, as for right now let's just give him some space." Lori says. While the two girls were talking, Geo rolled away from the card game and joined Leni in watching T.V.

"Hey Len. Whatcha watchin?" Geo asks.

"This cool show called 'Monster on Rampage in Royal Woods'." Leni answered.

Geo looks at tv and sees the headline. "Leni! That's the news!" Geo shouted. "There is a monster attacking the city."

"Oh." Leni says. "Then in that case, THERE'S A MONSTER ATTACKING ROYAL WOODS!" Everyone stops what they're doing and joins Leni and Geo by the T.V.

"If there's a monster attacking Royal Woods, why didn't the alarm go off?" Walt asked.

"I was doing some maintenance and i had to turn the alarm off to do so." Lisa explained.

"You kids gotta get down there before someone gets hurt or the army gets there." Charles says.

"On it!" The Louds all replied and ran out.

Meanwhile in the city, citizens were fleeing in terror form the monster who threw a dumpster at Flip's food and fuel.

"My store!" Flip cries out in despair. The monster roars and flips a car onto another car and then throws a semi.

Jack noticed this and took out his camera. "This is gonna be good." said Jack. he Took the picture, but the flash attracted the monster. "Oh crud."

The monster roars and makes his way towards him. Howevet, a man in a trenchcoat pushes Jack out of the way.

"Thanks for the save." Jack says. He stands up and he recognizes the person who saved him. "Dad!?"

"Jack get out of here i'll Hold him off!" Replicate shouted.

"This doesn't change anything." Jack says before snapping another picture and running off. After Jack is gone, Replicate turns his attention to the monster before him.

"So, this is what Tetherby wanted me to keep in check." Replicate says.

The monster glares at Replicate and readies his fist to punch him.

Replicate prepares himself when he looks up and sees the L-Crew approaching. "Another time monster." He says before disappearing into the shadows.

Wildgirl swoops down in eagle form and then transforms into a mountain lion and lands on the monster. The monster grabs Wildgirl and throws her at a brick wall.

"Well a surprise attack didn't work." Firecracker says.

"Then let's just attack the monster!" said Parkour and charged towards the monster.

The monster throws a punch but Parkour dodges and then throws a right hand and a uppercut. However, the hits barely faze him. The monster roars and punched her into a nearby car. Firecracker flies forward with Ms. Appear right behind him.

Firecracker is about to give the monster a firey punch until the monster grabs Firecracker and snarls at him. "Please don't eat me." Firecracker said.

The monster roars and tosses him up and then punches him so hard that Firecracker is sent flying out of sight.

Ms. Appear uses her forcefield fist to attack the monster but it had no effect. "Oh come on!" Ms. Appear exclaimed and then Black Ice shot a ice beam at the monster.

The monster roars and does a thunder clap, blasting the two back.

Ms. Appear and Black Ice both land in the dumpster. "My turn." said Muiltipe Girl. "Or should I say our turn."

Multiple Girl multiplies into eleven and they charge at the beast.

Meanwhile, on a nearby roof, Replicate is watching the battle when he feels like he's being watched.

Whoever you are, I suggest you show yourself." Replicate said.

A humanoid figure wearing a one-piece black body-suit comes out of the shadows with black combat boots and black gloves. This figures a helmet that resembles the helmets from Trion Legacy. The only two noticeable features are a red ruby Gem in the figure's right hand and the figure's right yellow eye being revealed on the helmet steps out of the shadows glares at Replicate.

"I am Infinite. I am here to stop your plans." The figure tells him. However, Replicate isn't impressed.

"I don't care who you are." Replicate tells him. "You will still die." His eyes flash and he then shoots a powerful energy beam at Infinite disintegrating him. "Well that was waste." He then hears his comm go off. "Yes Tetherby?"

"What's status of my new weapon?" Tetherby asks.

"Couldn't get to it because the L-Crew is fighting against your new weapon." said Replicate.

"I'm not paying you to watch you know." Tetherby said.

"I understand, but I'm not fighting both your weapon and the L-Crew." Replicate says with an even tone. "Besides, if your lucky your new toy could destroy the L-Crew."

"I want that thing in line now!" Tetherby shouted.

"Well you're going to have to wait then." Replicate said and hung up.

Replicate goes back to watching the fight.

Back on the ground, Multiple Girl and her clones are swarming the creature.

The monster breaks free from the clones and they all hit the wall or garbage cans. "That's it!" Crystal Princess shouted. "Time for my ultimate!

She creates a giant hammer. "Crystal Buster!" She brings the hammer down but the monster catches it. "C'mon!"

The monster throws Crystal Princess and the Crystal buster to a cactus store. "Owww!" She shouted.

"Ok, since when does Royal Woods have a cactus store?" Speed Queen asks. She then speeds towards the beast and starts running around him. The monster tries to hit but misses. "Too slow big guy."

"Smash..." the Monster said,

"It spoke." Prodigy says in awe.

"SMASH!" The monster roars before slamming his fists on the ground causing Speed Queen to trip up. The creature roars and makes it's way towards the down speedster.

"Hey muscle butt!" The monster turns around and sees Parkour standing across from him with two halves of a police car on her fists. "Ready for round two?"

"SMASH WEAK GIRL!" The monster shouted.

The two rush towards each other and there fists collide. Parkour starts hitting him with several lefts and rights now with the cop car boxing gloves causing more damage but just barely fazing him.

"Come on!" Parkour shouted. "I'm going to knock you out!"

"Weak girl no hurt. I smash weak girl!" The monster says before tearing the cop cars off Parkour's hands.

"Uh oh." Parkour says.

The monster grabs Parkour's ankles and began to smack her around like a rag doll. The monster stopped and snarled at Parkour, and finally he throws Parkour to the ground. "Puny girl."

Wildgirl gets back up and sees the monster standing over Parkour. She narrows her eyes and goes gorilla. She then runs up and jumps on the beast's back.

The monster grunts and tries to get Wildgirl off it's back. The monster punches Wildgirl in the face.

Wildgirl grunts and pain and goes pachycephalosaurs. She roars at the monster and goes for a headbutt.

The monster gets hit by the head butt but remains unaffected. Then he monster punches Wildgirl into a dress shop.

Prodigy uses her telekinesis to throw a semi at the monster.

The monster catches the semi and throws it back but Crystal Princess slices it in half. Amplifier glares at the beast and then turns to her younger sisters.

"Ok dudettes, this monster is tough, but we can beat him." Amplifier says. She's about to say something else when a bus pulls up nearby. The three turm to see Firecracker get off the bus.

"Thanks for the ride." Firecracker said.

"No problem kid. Thanks for the autograph." The driver says before driving away.

"Um you are aware that you can fly." Prodigy pointed out.

"I forgot about that." said Firecracker.

"Really dude?" Amplifier said with a deadpan expression.

"I landed downtown in a pillow factory." Firecracker said. "I guess i hit my head and forgot I could fly."

"Wow. Just wow." Crystal Princess says.

"So what did I miss?" Firecracker asks.

Parkour got smashed, Muiltipe Girls are down, Speed Queen got knocked out and Ms. Appear and Black Ice were taken down by a clap." Prodigy explained.

"Sounds like a good time." Firecracker says. He then sees the monster swinging Wildgirl around by the tail.

The monster throws Wildgirl at at a brick wall and she turns back to her human form. "This thing is tough." said Wildgirl.

"Well then I'll teach this monster a thing or two about picking on someone their own size." Firecracker said.

Amplifier comes up with an idea. "Hey bro, why don't we try that new we've been working on?" She suggested.

"Sure." Firecracker says. He then turns to Prodigy, Crystal Princess and Greenthumb. "Think you three can buy us some time?"

"We will." said Crystal Princess.

Greenthumb clapped and giggles. "I take that as a yes." Prodigy said.

The rush towards the monster. After they run off, Amplifier turns to her brother.

"Ready?" Amplifier asks.

"Ready." Firecracker answers.

Back on the roof, Replicate is watching the fight with interest. He sees Crystal Princess, Prodigy and Greenthumb rush towards the weapon but Firecracker and Amplifier stayed where they were.

"What are those two up to?" Replicate wonders.

Greenthumb uses her vines to hold back the monster as Crystal Princess smacks the monster with Crystal fists. Then Prodigy threw a dumpster at the monster with her telekinesis.

The monster roars at the three and charges at them. Prodigy quickly uses her telekinesis to get Greenthumb to safety. Just as Greenthumb is safe the beast punches Crystal Princess in the face and kicks Prodigy.

Greenthumb starts to get scared and began trembling in fear. "Now Amplifier!" Firecracker shouted.

The two throw a giant ball of fire and electricity at the beast, hitting it and forming a smokescreen. The two drop to their knees and fist bump.

"I think we got him." Amplifier says.

"Yep." Firecracker agrees. The smoke begins to clear and they see a silhouette standing in the smoke. "No way."

"He's still standing!" Amplifier screams. The smoke clears and they see that the ball did some damage, but not enough to take it down. The monster glares at the two that threw the ball and roars.

"SMASH!" the monster roars before running forward.

Firecracker and Amplifier both dodge the charging monster. But the monster grabs them by the ankles and throws them at a semi.

Speed Queen gets up and glares at the monster. "I'll literally turn you into a pretzel!" She shouted and ran towards the monster at full speed.

She hits the monster but he backhands her into a mailbox. The creature hears crying and turns to see Greenthumb crying. The monster starts to walk towards her.

"Smash baby." He growls. Speed Queen looks up and sees the creature standing over the crying infant. Speed Queen looks around and sees the rest of her siblings knocked out.

Speed Queen runs towards Greenthumb and grabs her right before the monster slams his fists down on the ground. "Hurting a baby?" Speed Queen asked while panting. "Really?"

The beast tries to attack again but Speed Queen dodges with Greenthumb still in her arms. However, the monster hits the ground that causes Speed Queen to trip and her mask unknowingly falls off.

"Dang it!" Speed Queen groaned. The monster gets back up and walks towards Speed Queen. Greenthumb was babbling something. "What is it Greenthumb?"

She points to Speed Queen's face and then points to her own mask.

"Crap, my mask!" Speed Queen exclaimed.

Greenthumb then points over Speed Queen's shoulder and Speed Queen sees the beast making it's way towards them.

"Speed girl fast. I smash." The creature growls.

"You want a piece of me!" Speed Queen shouted.

Greenthumb whimpers and huddles closer to Speed Queen. The monster then raised his arms and was about to smash Speed Queen when he saw her face.

The monster stops and looks at Speed Queen. He lowers his arms and then jumps away. "That was weird." said Speed Queen.

Greenthumb uses her vines to pick up her older sister's mask and gave it to her.

"Thanks." Speed Queen says. She looks around and sees the rest of her siblings unconscious and barely moving.

"That monster did a number on us." Speed Queen said and placed her mask on.

"Ouchie." Greenthumb replied.

"Couldn't agree more." Speed Queen says.

"Boo boo." Greenthumb babbles.

"Yeah. Alot of boo boos." Speed Queen says. She then starts to get lightheaded. Feeling dizzy." She then collapses on the ground. As everything started to fade, she swore she saw Vanzilla pull up with Charles driving.

When Lori woke up, she saw that she was in the base infirmary.

"Oh good, your awake." Lori turns and sees Clyde walking in.

"Clyde?" Lori asked.

"Who else?" Clyde asked.

"How did I get here? Where is everyone?" Lori asked.

The pets drove Vanzilla and got you here with Lily's help." Clyde explained. "The rest of the siblings are with Sam and Ronnie Anne."

"How bad were the injuries?" Lori asked.

"Would you like the list from worst to not as bad or oldest to youngest?" Clyde asked.

"Holy crap that bad!?" Lori exclaimed

"Well you suffered three broken ribs and a small concussion, Leni broke her wrist, Luna injured her knee and a broken rib, Luan hurt her ankle, Lynn re-injured her leg and ribs, Lincoln dislocated his shoulder and tore his knee, Lucy's left hand is broken, Lana suffered a concussion as well as a dislocated shoulder, Lola had several cactus pickles in her and a twisted ankle and Lisa suffered a concussion and a cracked rib." Clyde listed.

"Whoa it's Squatch all over again." Lori sighed.

"So what happened back there?" Clyde asked.

"I was saving Lily and my mask fell off and the monster just got away." said Lori.

"Yikes." Clyde says. "Look, right now were waiting for Lisa's machine to make more pills so if want you can go check on everyone else. I would go check on Leni first. While her injuries weren't as bad as everyone else's, she's still a little shaken up."

"Thanks Clyde." Lori said and got out of bed.

She heads to the T.V. area where she sees Leni sitting on the couch with Cliff.

"It's ok Leni." Cliff was saying. "Just try to relax. The monster isn't gonna hurt you."

"I'm trying to." Leni said shaking in fear.

"Hey Leni." Lori greeted.

Leni jumped a little at the sound of her voice but relaxed when she saw who it was. Lori looked over at Leni's hands and saw her left one was in a cast.

"Hi Lori." Leni says quietly.

"How's your wrist?" Lori asked.

"Still hurts." Leni whined.

"I'm trying to take her mind off of it." said Cliff.

"Leni, how are you doing?" Lori asks.

"Not good." Leni answers. "Everyone is hurt."

"Yeah I know. But the weirdest thing is that the monster looked at me and ran away." said Lori.

"Maybe he saw something?" Leni shrugged.

"Maybe." Lori says. "Look, just try to relax ok?"

"Ok." Leni says.

"Good, I'm gonna check on Luna." Lori says. She walks off and she sees Sam wrapping a bandage around Luna's leg.

"Hold still Luna." Sam tells her.

"Sorry Sam, but I don't think I'll Be able to knee slide again." said Luna.

"That's what you said last time after knee sliding on the the carpet." Lori chuckled.

"Oh my gosh tell me everything." Sam begged.

"Well Luna was practicing for a concert. So she decides to do a knee slide on the floor." Lori says. "Well, our little Luna forgot the second floor hallway had carpet. So after she did the knee slide, she had second degree carpet burns on her knees."

Sam bursted unti laughter while Luna blushed in embarrassment. "Call me little Luna again and I'll tell Bobby about your gas problem!" Luna glares.

"Whatever." Lori said with a smirk. "So, how are you feeling? Heard that you injured one of your ribs and your knee."

"I'll be fine Lori." Luna said. "But when I find that monster he'll pay."

"Just try to rest Luna." Lori tells her.

"Can do sis." Luna assures her.

"I'll make sure she rests." Sam promises.

"Thanks. So do you guys know where I can find Luan?" Lori asked.

"I think she's outside." Sam said.

"Thanks." Lori said and ran outside.

Lori heads outside and sees Walt helping Luan with her physical therepy.

"Just take it slow Luan." Walt says.

"Yeah I know." Luan groaned.

"You don't feel funny anymore." Lori said.

"Hey Lori." Luan said.

"Starting your physical therepy a little early?" Lori asks.

"She was getting restless." Walt explains. "Ronnie Anne is still patching up Lincoln so i offered to help Luan."

"That's great Walt." said Lori.

"Where do you think that monster came from?" Luan asked.

"I don't know. But he'll be back I just know it." said Lori.

"Lori, can I tell you something?" Luan asks.

"What is it Luan?" Lori asked.

"Ever since the incident with Maggie, I've been having doubts about this whole superhero thing." Luan confesses. She looks at the sky with a frown. "Are we really making a difference? Is there really a point if we can't help the people we care about?" She then turns to Lori. "Maybe this whole superhero thing was a bad idea."

"Luan you can't quit, we are making a difference, we're saving people's lives." Lori said. "Maggie was just scared of her new power."

"I know." Luan sighs. "I'm not the only one having doubts. Lana, Lola, Lisa, heck even Lynn and Lincoln. We're all having doubts that there's no reason anymore." Lori is about to say something but Walt stops her.

"Mind if I handle this?" Walt asked.

"Go for it." Lori said.

Walt flies down and lands on Luan's shoulder.

"You know, I talked to Gary recently." Walt tells her.

"Yeah? What did you guys talk about?" Luan asks.

"He told me that you've been acting weird." Walt answers. "He told me that you used to talk about Maggie quite a bit. But now, you don't talk about her as much. Why is that?"

"It's because ever since she got her powers I'm worried that she might become a villain like the others." said Luan.

"Let me ask you something. When you fought her at the barn, did she seem bad to you?" Walt asks.

"No. Just scared." Luan answered.

"Exactly. She's scared and confused." Walt assures her. "But you can't avoid talking about her. If you do, you'll forget what you're trying to accomplish. Don't give up yet Luan. You've never given up before."

"You're right." said Luan. "Thanks Walt."

"Don't mention it." Walt said.

"Don't give up Luan. Your girlfriend needs you." Lori says.

"I won't." Luan says. She then turns to Walt. "I'm ready to start again."

"Good." Walt says. Lori leaves the two alone and goes to find Lynn. As she walks away she hears Luan yelling something behind her.

"SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!" Lori chuckles and goes back to her search.

Ronnie Anne and Lincoln are on the couch and Ronnie Anne is bandaging his knee. "So you took the bus?" Ronnie Anne asked. "That was pretty lame."

"I was disoriented from the landing that I forgot that i could fly." Lincoln protested. Ronnie Anne walks behind him and puts her hands on his dislocated shoulder.

"This might hurt a little." Ronnie Anne warns him.

"Have you done this before?" Lincoln asked.

"Not really, this is the first time." said Ronnie Anne.

"Wait what?!" Lincoln exclaimed.

The camera zooms out to the outside of the base where we hear Lincoln scream in pain, causing seversl birds to fly away. The camera returns to Lincoln and Ronnie Anne where she is wrapping his shoulder in bandages and putting his arm in a sling.

"All set." Ronnie Anne tells him. She then turns to Lynn who is sitting nearby. "Ok Lynn, let's take care of that knee."

"I thought we had the pills to hear our injuries." said Lynn.

"Well Lisa said that were running low and we had to save on them." Lincoln explained.

Great." Lynn groaned. "This Squatch all over again." Ronnie Anne starts putting bandages on her knee when Lori walks up.

"Good, two for one." Lori says. "How are you two feeling?"

"Feeling like the Squatch thing all over again." Lynn rolled her eyes.

"Ronnie Anne placed my shoulder back in place." Lincoln said.

"It was my first time." Ronnie Anne shrugged.

"Ok I need to ask you two something." Lori says. "Luan told me that you guys are having doubts. Is it true?"

"Yeah pretty much." said Lynn.

"Same on my end." said Lincoln.

"Why do you have doubts Lame-o?" Ronnie Anne asked.

"Well, it goes back to the Harvestor." Lincoln replies. "I remember seeing his face and I suddenly was terrified that I ran away like a coward. Sure i came back. But I still gave in to fear and it almost killed my sisters."

"Wow. I never knew." Lori said. She then turns to Lynn. "What about you? When did you start having doubts?"

"Squatch." Lynn answers.

"Oh because of facing against villains who are stronger than you?" Lori asked.

"Pretty much." said Lynn.

"It's nothing to be ashamed of." Lori assures her.

"I know, but I think back to that day and when you guys went out to fight Squatch, I couldn't help but feel worried." Lynn reveals. "I kept thinking that if he destroyed me with little effort, what would he do with you guys. I felt that I should've tried harder to beat him but he destroyed me." Lynn looks at her knee in sadness. "And once again, I fought a stronger guy and got the same result."

"But you all face those guys and came out victorious. Don't let those hold you back." said Lori.

"I know, but I can't help but think how can i protect others if I can't protect myself." Lynn says sadly.

"Yeah and how can protect people if I give into fear?" Lincoln says. "You got an answer to that?" Lori didn't know what to say. The doubt that her sister and brother had were much worse than she thought.

"We'll talk later. Where's Lucy?" Lori asked.

"Kitchen area getting her hand bandaged." Ronnie Anne answers.

"Thanks." Lori says before walking off. After she was gone, Ronnie Anne's phone goes off. She pulls it out and sees that it's her mother.

Oh hey Mom." Ronnie Anne answered her phone.

"Ronalda! Thank heavens. I was worried that you were in the area that monster was." Maria tells her.

"Don't worry. I was nowhere near that area." Ronnie Anne assured her.

"Good. Also, we found Bobby." Maria told her.

"That's great to hear." Ronnie Anne said.

"But I want you to come home right away. You never know if that monster comes back." Maria said.

"Ok. I'll leave in a few minutes." Ronnie Anne says before hanging up. She turns to Lincoln who is staring at nothing. "I gotta head home. See you tomorrow."

"Yeah. See ya." Lincoln says without looking at her. Ronnie Anne sighs and kisses him on the cheek. As she heads out, she sees Sam standing by the door. "Everything ok?"

"Yeah. It's just that I'm worried about Luna." Sam answers.

"I know how you feel Lincoln is having doubts about being a hero." said Ronnie Anne.

"Yeah. After Lori went to check on Luan, Luna said something." Sam says.

"What did she say?" Ronnie Anne asks.

"She said that sorry that I failed as your second in command." Sam says. "I guess she was just trying to put on a brave face but i guess she couldn't keep it up."

"Heroes don't quit." Ronnie Anne said.

"Yeah I know. They keep Royal Woods safe." Sam said.

"I guess they just hit a rough spot." Ronnie Anne says. "Listen I gotta go. See ya!"

"See ya." Sam calls back. After Ronnie Anne leaves, Sam prepares to go check on Luna when her phone rings. She looks and sees that it's Jack. "Sup Jack."

"Yo Sam, hey I got some news." Jack says.

"What news?" Sam asks.

"Dad's back in town." Jack tells her.

"You saw him?" Sam asked.

"Yeah, he saved me from that monster." Jack said.

"Crap." Sam says.

"You got that right." Jack agrees. "I got some sweet pics too. The media is calling that monster Berserker. But anyways, I just called Jay about dad. He said that whatever we do, don't tell mom or Ashley."

"Way ahead of you." said Sam. "I don't want him anywhere near Ashley."

"Agreed." Jack says. "As for mom, I don't know what she'd do if she found out dad was back in town. Worst part is, I don't think he came back today. Look I gotta go and pick Ashley up from dance class. We'll talk more about this later. Love ya sis."

"Love you too Jack." Sam said and hung up. "What are you doing Dad? Why did you come back?"

She shakes head in frustration. "You came back a couple weeks ago. You didn't say why." She decides not to think about it. "Berserker? Not a bad name."

Meanwhile in the kitchen, Fangs was helping Lucy write poems since her hand was broken.

"Thanks Fangs." Lucy said.

"Don't mention it Lucy." said Fangs.

"Hey Lucy." Lori said and walked to the kitchen

"Sigh, hi Lori." Lucy says.

"How's the hand?" Lori asked.

"Sigh, I can't wait poems." Lucy sighed.

"At least you have Fangs to help you." Lori says.

"Sigh, I guess." Lucy says.

"Everything alright Luce?" Lori asks.

"Yeah I guess." Lucy answered.

"Let me guess, having doubts?" Lori guessed.

"More like losing hope." Lucy answers.

"That's what I thought." said Lori.

"I'm starting to lose hope that we will really make a difference at all." Lucy says. "No matter what we do, no matter how many criminals we take down, there's no sign of the crime going away. Let's face it, there's no hope. And if that monster comes back, we'll probably still lose."

"Never say that Lucy." Lori said. "When the storm pass by there is always a rainbow."

"Do you always have use rainbows for good things?" Lucy asked.

"Yeah I do." Lori answers.

"Then you know that the rainbow disappears after a few seconds." Lucy says. "There is no light."

"Well I got nothing after that." said Lori.

"Don't bother trying, you know Lori." Fangs replied.

"You're right. But why is everyone having doubts and losing hope?" Lori wondered.

"I don't know. But there are a ugly side of being a hero." Lucy sighed.

"Fangs, gather the pets. We need to have a meeting." Lori says.

When Ronnie Anne walked through the door, she saw Bobby sitting on the couch with no shirt or shoes. She also saw that his pants were ripped.

"Bobby what happened to you?" Ronnie Anne asked and walked towards her older brother. "Did you get mugged or something?"

"No I wasn't mugged." Bobby says. "There hasn't been a mugging since before the L-Crew showed up."

"Then what happened to your clothes and shoes?" Ronnie Anne asked.

"I don't know." Bobby answers.

"We found him lying on the ground in the front yard." Carl told her.

"We woke him up and he had no memory of what happened." Carlota shrugged.

Carlitos gave Ronnie Anne some some language and Ronnie Anne didn't understand. "I'm sorry what?" Ronnie Anne shrugged.

Carlitos stomped around and made a angry face. "Oh a monster." Ronnie Anne got the message. "I already got the message."

"The media is calling this thing Berserker." Carlos says. "That thing defeated the L-Crew."

"Beserker? Sounds like a enemy from a video game." said Ronnie Anne.

"Well as long I didn't see that on my way home." Bobby said.

"Maybe you did and you didn't remember." said Carl.

"I'm sure that i would remember a giant monster going on a rampage." Bobby said irritably.

"I'm just saying." Carl replied.

"But we heard about you losing your job." Carlota said.

"Don't remind me." Bobby sighed.

"But don't you have eight other jobs?" Carl asked.

"Yeah but I liked this one." Bobby says. "Plus I was fired for a stupid reason."

"What was it?" Carlos asked.

"I was having a headache and accidentally hit the step ladder Dana was on and she broke her arm when she fell on the clothing rack." Bobby explained.

"That is stupid." said Ronnie Anne.

"What's the last thing you remember?" Hector asked.

"Last thing I remembered was walking home from work and just being angrier, then getting a headache and then waking up here." Bobby said.

"Maybe some T.V. will help is relax." Frida says turning on the T.V. When it was turned on, they saw that it was the news.

"This is Jenny Snarts reporting live from the scene where the L-Crew battled a creature that people have called the Berserker." Jenny says. "Witnesses say that the monster went on a rampage causing quite a bit of property damage."

"Oh great." Bobby groaned.

"I was running my own business until that monster threw a car at my shop." Flip said on the T.V.

"Wait. That sounds familiar." Bobby said to himself.

"I was walking my dog when this monster showed up and threw this semi into a building." A lady said. "We're lucky to make it out alive."

"Oh my goodness." said Rosa.

"I was in the coffee shop and I saw the damage this monster did." A college student said.

"This monster is a danger to everyone to Royal Woods and should be locked away." A man said.

"Why does this all feel familiar." Bobby asked himself.

"I saw the L-Crew show up and their attacks weren't doing anything." A teenager says.

"Whoa that's insane." said Carlota.

"I saw Speed Queen and Greenthumb at Berserker's mercy, but he just jumped away." A man said. "It was weird man." Bobby stares at the T.V. with wide eyes. He has a sudden vision of Speed Queen but for some reason, she wasn't wearing a mask and the face he saw shocked him.

"Lori. She's Speed Queen." Bobby whispers. "But, I only saw Speed Queen up close once. Why do I have and image of her with no mask in my head?"

"He crushed my car." A lady says. "I don't think my insurance covers monster attacks."

"I need some alone time." Bobby said and head off to his room.

Bobby enters his room and sits on his bed.

"I don't get it." Bobby says to himself. "I don't remember all those events that happened but I'm getting visions of them." He looks up and he sees his mirror. He gets up and stares at his reflection.

"What did you do to me Carol?" Bobby asked.

As he stares at his reflection, he notices that it's glaring at him. But this time, Bobby isn't backing down. "Ok, that's enough of that. So can you speak or are you just a reflection?"

"Yes I can talk." said his reflection. "Man you need to relax."

"I take it you're Berserker?" Bobby asked.

"Don't mean we're Berserker." Berseker says. "We may be stupid when they are that monster, but right now we think clearly."

"I went on a rampage and destroyed Royal Woods." Bobby replied.

"Don't you mean we Dude." Berseker corrected.

"We could of hurt someone." Bobby said.

"We can't control it." Berserker says. "We were going by instinct. But that girl, just seeing her face caused us to retreat."

"That girl's name is Lori." Bobby says. "We almost killed them. We almost smashed a baby."

"Yeah. That's what I'm trying to say." Berserker says. "We're too dangerous."

"What was your first clue!?" Bobby said sarcastically.

"The fact that we caused thousands of dollars in property damage." Berserker answers.

"Dude that was sarcasm." Bobby says. "So what do we do? The monster will get out again. And then what? We might have not have killed anyone this time, but what about next time? What if we kill somebody? And why do you keep glaring at me?!"

"Force of habit." Berserker said.

"Well I'm not going to get angry!" Bobby said.

"Easier said then done." Berserker says. 'We need to leave."

"You mean run away?" Bobby asked.

"You got that right." Berserker smirked. "Or you can stay here, you'll hurt your family or your babe."

"I'm not leaving." Bobby says.

"Hey man, I'm not saying we leave forever." Berserker says. "We just leave until we either find a cure and you get rid of me forever, or until we can control the monster."

"This is still a bad idea." Bobby says.

"Or maybe this will convince you. You'll be captured by the government keep you prisoner. Take you away from everyone you loved, or use you as weapon." Berserker said. "But If we don't control the monster, it can take over and you'll be nothing but a memory, your family and Lori don't want that."

"But I remember that man that we encountered." Bobby says.

"He could be after us man." said Berserker

"Damn. I guess we got nothing." Bobby says.

"Wrongo. We still got my plan." Berserker says.

"You're right. I can't believe I'm doing this." Bobby sighed.

"Just wait until eveyone is asleep." said Berseker.

"Yeah. Spend one more night with them and then, we're gone." Bobby says.

At Tetherby industries, Replicate is in Tetherby's office and Tethetby was not happy.

"You had a job and that job was to keep that monster in check and you let him get away!" Tetherby shouted.

"They L-Crew got in the way and I lost the weapon." Replicate replied. "Not to mention some guy shows up he's no longer a problem."

"Well we need to find him. This Berserker could possibly be turned against us. You can't let that happen." Tetherby says. "You must find him and bring him to me."

"Whatever you say as long as I get payed." Replicate said.

"It's imperative that you find my weapon before the L-Crew do." Tetherby says. "If they find him before you do, they could turn him against us."

"Of course. I head out now." Replicate says before walking out. As soon as he's out of earshot. "If you think I'm gonna do what you say Tetherby, you got another thing coming. I'm not one of your pawns and i can't be controlled. I'll find your monster, but it will be for my own benefit." He then walks out of the building.

Meanwhile back in his office, Tetherby is preparing to leave when a image of Professor Stuart pops up on his monitor.

"Well Stuart, what do you want?" Tethetby asks.

"Sorry sir, but i found a test subject for the serum." Stuart reports.

"That's perfect." said Tetherby.

"Yes, my own son." said Professor Stuart. "Albert Stuart."

"Dad, it's Papa Wheelie." His son says.

"A child?" Tethetby says with a frown.

"Yes, I know. But let me example." said Stuart.

"I'm listening." Tetherby replied.

"My son likes power. He likes being in charge." Stuart explains. "But he hates it when someone steals his leadership status. So when he heard about what the serum did he was more than happy to volunteer."

"I was excepting someone stronger, not a child and you're really using your own son as a lab rat?" Tetherby asked.

"He volunteered. Plus, he's not a fan of the L-Crew. So he's perfect." Stuart says.

"Very well he'll do." Tetherby sighed.

At the Loud House, the siblings head to there respective rooms, minus Lori who called an emergency meeting with the pets in the basement.

"Ah Good the team's all here." said Lori.

"Ok Lori, why did you just call us down here?" Cliff asks.

"Ok as you all may Not is that everyone is having doubts about being heroes." Lori said.

"You got that right." Geo says. "Leni is upset that everyone got hurt."

"Luna feels like she failed as one of the leaders." Charles says.

"Luan feels like she failed Maggie." said Cliff.

"Lynn feels that everytime she is beaten down by someone stronger, she's letting the team down." Walt sighs.

"Lincoln feels like he failed when he gave into fear with Harvestor." Charles says.

"Lucy believes that there is no hope for the city to get better even with their help." Fangs says.

"The twins blame themselves for the whole Lindsey Sweetwater issue." Hops says.

"And Lisa still blames herself for Todd going nuts." Cliff finished.

"I even tried to bring hope but that failed. But we can't let them give up." Lori said.

"We know Lori." Cliff tells her. "But honestly I'm not surprised that they are having doubts."

"I gave Lincoln advice and he's still haunted by the Harvestor." Charles sighed

"Same for me with Luan." Walt sighs. "Is there anything we can do?"

"We can try our best to show them that there is hope and not to give up on the town." said Lori.

"It's only a matter of time before Lily gives up hope too." Hops said.

"I doubt that." Fangs says. "Lily always has hope. She's the one who's always happy no matter the situation."

"If she can have hope, why can't everyone else?" Geo agrees.

"I don't know. But let's just hope nothing destroys her hope." Charles nodded.

"Guys! What am I supposed to do about everyone else?" Lori asks. "Berserker is still out there and i need their help to stop him!"

"Maybe you should try and remind them what being a hero is all about." Cliff suggested.

"Like an intervention?" Lori asked.

"Yeah." Hops answered. "Help them see that it's not wrong to feel that way."

"Ok." Lori agrees.

At the Santiago-Casagrande household everyone was in bed. Except for one. Bobby stood over his bed, while being caredul not to wake CJ and Carl. He grabbed his duffel bag and a mirror and looked at his reflection.

"You ready?" Berseker asked.

"Yeah." Bobby whispered and slowly opened the window. "Sorry guys, but I need to do this. So you won't get hurt." said Bobby.

With that, he went out his window and he was gone.

When morning came, Ronnie Anne went to the kitchen to get some breakfast. She took out a bowl and a box of cereal. "That's odd usually Bobby is up by now?" Ronnie Anne said.

She then hears running and she looks up and sees Carl and CJ frantically running towards her. "What's wrong guys?'

"Bobby's not in his bed." CJ tells her.

"What?!" Ronnie Anne exclaimed and checked Bobby, CJ, and Carl's room and sees that Bobby's bed is empty.

"Where did he go?" Carl asked.

"Maybe he left for work early." Ronnie Anne reassured her little cousin.

"Are you sure?" Carl asked.

"Yeah I'm sure." Ronnie Anne reassures them. "Go eat breakfast."

Carl and CJ both walked to the kitchen and Ronnie Anne is about to join them.

She steps out but is stopped by Maria.

"Ronalda, have you seen your brother?" Maria asked.

"No. I think he's at work." Ronnie Anne answers. Maria's eyes widen.

"Roberto is off today!" Maria screams.

"He's off?" Ronnie Anne asked.

"Where did he go?" Maria asked.

"The last time I saw him was last night when I got home." Ronnie Anne replied.

"We need to find him!" Maria shouts.

"I'll call the police." said Carlos.

find a picture for the missing poster." Frida said.

As her family panicked, Ronnie Anne looked out the window.

"Where are you Bobby?" Ronnie Anne asked. "And why did you leave?"
