11. Hydro part 2

Lincoln laid down on the operating table while Lisa ran some tests. Even as it happened, he still couldn't believe it. His powers were gone. Gone in an instant. And ironically, they were taken by a villian water powers.

"Hmm." Lisa thought.

"So is Lincoln ok or not?" Lynn asked.

"Siblings, I have good news and bad news." Lisa told them. "The good news is that Lincoln's power loss is only temporary."

"What's the bad news?" Lucy asks.

"His powers will return in 24 hours." Lisa said.

"What?!" The siblings and Clyde exclaimed.

"Twenty-four hours!" Lincoln yelled.

"That is literally insane!" Lori yells.

"That's totally bogus dude!" Luna shouts.

"The numbers don't lie." Lisa replied.

"We need Lincoln!" Lynn shouted.

"Yeah we need Lincoln!" Luan said. "He pops popcorn perfectly."

"Yeah! Without me, the popcorn is burnt!" Lincoln agrees.

"His warm hugs aren't as warm now!" the twins wail.

"Yeah I also make my muffins from the table so I don't miss a thing on Tv." Lincoln said.

"Yeah! And he makes the perfect grilled cheese sandwich." Luna adds.

"Seriously? That's what you use our brother's powers for?" Lisa says while facepalming.

"Lisa, we all know that you use Lincoln to heat your bath to the perfect temperature." Lori says.

"That's different." said Lisa. "Besides I seen some of you using your powers for your own personal use!"

"So? While we have these powers we might as well use them." Lola points out.

"Yeah. I, like, made seven dresses in three hours because of my clones!" Leni says happily. "Right me?" She then makes a copy of herself.

"Totes me." Other Leni says.

"Hey I managed to get ready for my dates in a snap." Lori said.

"I also managed to charge my laptop." said Luna.

"I was able to set up pranks without you guys knowing." Luan said. After a few seconds, she realized what she said. "Oops."

"I was able to have a therepy session with Charles. He has issues." Lana says.

"Um, guys?" Lincoln said interrupting his sisters. "Did we forget the problem at hand?"

"Right, you being powerless." said Lynn.

"Wait, I have a idea. You guys know that show the Flash?" Clyde asked.

"No." The Louds, even Lincoln, answered.

"Really? Well there was a episode where a villain named Blackout takes Barry Allen's powers away and Barry had to jumpstart with electricity to get his powers back." Clyde explained.

"So getting him mad is our way of jumpstarting?" Lynn asked.

"Yep." Clyde answers. The girls look at each other with uncertain faces. On one hand, they wanted to help their brother get his powers back. On the other hand, making their brother angry on purpose? They weren't so sure about this.

"I don't know about this guys." Lori says.

"Yeah. We make our bro mad sometimes, but not on purpose." Luna said.

"Plus, we are still trying to make up for the whole bad luck incident." Lynn says with a shiver.

"Well that's because you're a big crybaby Lynn." said Lincoln.

"Oh yeah, well your muffins taste like barf!" Lynn shouted.

"If they taste like barf, why do you eat so many." Lincoln says with a smirk.

"Dang it. Let me try again." said Lynn and tried and think of a insult.

"Let me try." said Lori. "You're literally a loser, and even when you were dressed as Ace Savy."

"Actually I thought it was cool." Luna said

"Luna! Not helping!" Lori shouts. Lola then steps up.

"I got this." Lola says with a evil grin. She then runs into the bathroom and sounds of flushing is heard. A few seconds later, Lola opens the door and the siblings see that the toilet is clogged. "Lincoln! You clogged the toilet again!"

"I did not you spoiled brat!" Lincoln shouted.

"Lola, did you really think that would work?" Lori asks.

"It worked better in my head." Lola replied.

"Fail." Luan groaned.

"I got one! You always leave your butt print when you read comics in your underwear!" Lynn said.

"Actually I don't." Lincoln says. "Besides, I now read my comics on the roof of the Royal Woods I.T. building now."

"Ok, I got this." Luan tells her siblings. She then pulls Lincoln to a giant red X.

"What is this red x for?" Lincoln asked.

"I'll show you." Luan replied. She pulls a string and pie comes swinging out of nowhere. She then starts laughing. "So, are you mad yet?" Luan asks after her laughing fit.

"Nope. I was actually getting hungry." Lincoln answers.

Luan gets a deadpan look and sits down. "Anyone else has a shot, be my guest." said Luan.

Leni walks up to Lincoln and says. "You left the toilet seat up!" Leni slaps Lincoln across the face.

The sisters gasp at what just happened. Leni looks at Lincoln waiting for him to get angry at her, only to see hurt in his eyes. Feeling guilty, she quickly pulls him into a hug. "Sorry Linky!" Leni says. "I didn't mean it!"

"Leni!" Lori groaned.

"Well that didn't work." said Lynn.

"I got a idea and it gets Lincoln really mad." said Clyde. "Lincoln I think Dragonball evolution is a good movie."

Lincoln sighs and walks of the base, leaving the occupants confused. A few seconds later, Lincoln comes back with a baseball bat and another Dragon Ball Evolution movie.

"What are you doing with that bat dude?" Luna asked.

Lincoln placed the DVD on the ground and breathed in and out, then began to smash the movie.

The girls and Clyde looked on with wide eyes at the scene that was happening in front of them. They all then let out a frustrated groan. "This is going to be harder than we thought." Lori says.

Meanwhile at Tetherby Industries, Andrew Tetherby was sitting at his desk. In front of him sat Chandler and from the looks of things, Tetherby wasn't happy.

"Before you start let me explain." Chandler said.

"Well." He said.

"Ok, so yeah Firecracker is still alive and i retreated when the rest of the L-Crew showed. But come on, it was ten against one. How do you expect me to win?" Chandler said. "Besides, it isn't like i completely failed."

"You could of finished them off or Firecracker!" Tetherby exclaimed.

"True, but I didn't leave right away." Chandler told him. "You see, after I retreated into the sewer, i decided to stick around. And boy am I glad i did because I heard something that you are going to like."

"Really? Tell me I really want to know." Tetherby said.

"Firecracker is powerless!" Chandler said.

Tetherby's face changes from anger to interest. "Hmm, this could work. We need to take advantage of this. My guess is that he won't be powerless for long."

Chandler nodded in agreement. "Don't worry about it. I have a plan. The L-Crew are now doubt going to be hunting me down. While they are trying to find me, I'll infiltrate their base and finish what i started. By the time the L-Crew figure out what's going on, Firecracker will be dead."

"Perfect thinking." said Tetherby.

"It is." Chandler replied. "All I need to do is wait for them to leave and then, I'll strike."

"Better hurry the clock is ticking." Tehtherby replied.

The next day at Royal Woods elementary school, Lincoln is sitting in the lunch room until Ronnie anne showed up. "Hey Lame-o." She greeted.

"Hey." Lincoln greeted.

"So are your powers back yet?" Ronnie Anne asks.

"No. Clyde thought getting me angry would jumpstart my powers. But no matter how hard my sisters tried, they couldn't get me angry enough." Lincoln told her. "In the end we decided to just let my powers come back on their own."

"Bummer." Ronnie Anne sighed. "How long?

"Twenty four hours." Lincoln replied.

Ronnie Anne whistles. "Wow. That stinks."

"Yeah. So do you want to come by the base later? My sisters are going out to hunt down Hydro." Lincoln says.

"A base? Heck yeah I want to see!" Ronnie Anne beamed with excitement.

"Cool. Around 4:30 you can come over." Lincoln told her. "My sisters should be gone by then."

"See you at 4:30 Lame-o." said Ronnie Anne.

Lincoln wrote the address of the base on a napkin and gave it to Ronnie Anne.

After school lets out, Lincoln changes intk his Firecracker costume and waits for Lana so she can carry him to the base.

Lana arrives in her Wildgirl costume. "Alright you ready to go?" Lincoln asked.

"Hold on I need to pee." said Lana and morphed into a dog and peed on a tree.

Lincoln just gave her a disgusted look. "Let's just go." He says. Lana then turns into a pterodactyl and Lincoln climbs on. After he's on, Lana takes off. However unknown to them, Hydro was watching from the bushes.

"Here I come Firecracker." Hydro says sadistically.

Once they reached the base Lana hits a crate. "You ok?" He asked.

"Yeah. We really need to work on our landings." Lana answers. "So far me, you and Lucy have crashed. I'm surprised Luna hasn't yet."

"Actually she did. When we were raiding the toxic plant, she crashed into a forklift." Lincoln told her.

"Oh that's gotta hurt." said Lana.

"There you guys are." Lori said. "Lincoln, you stay here and monitor the base."

Lincoln nods and quickly hugs his sisters. "Be careful out there." He says as he's hugging them. "And give Hydro a pounding for me if you would."

"With pleasure." Lynn said and chucked her knuckles.

The sisters then gathered outside and then they were off. Lincoln waved to them as they flew (or in Lynn's case, drove) off to the city. After they were out if sight Lincoln headed back into the base. Unbeknownst to him, in the stream not far from the base. The water was slowly starting to take shape.

In the city, Ronnie Anne was skateboarding down the streets where she saw Firecracker battle Hydro. As she skated down the street, she couldn't help but think about Hydro. In all comics she read, when the villain defeated the hero, the villain would kill the hero. But, Hydro was stopped. He failed. But what would stop him from trying again.

"Lincoln's powerless right now. He said that his sisters were going to hunt down Hydro. Which means that Linc is alone. Hydro could easily finish him off. But he doesn't know where the base is. Right?" Ronnie Anne asked herself. She then came to a sudden realization. "Unless he followed someone there!" At that moment, Ronnie Anne knew two things. That her boyfriend was in trouble and that she had to find Lincoln's sisters fast.

"I have to find one of his sisters and quick." Ronnie Anne thought.

Meanwhile, the rest of the L-Crew were in front of Gus's Game and Grub figuring out they should try to hunt down Hydro.

"Nothing to report besides Kaleb Kent playing a shooter game without blinking." Black Ice said.

"I don't know if that's good or not." Ms. Appear said

"That would explain why Lincoln was in the fetal position after his visit to Kent house two weeks ago." Speed Queen commented.

"L-crew!" Ronnie Anne shouted. The L-Crew turn and see Ronnie Anne skating towards them.

"Hey there citizen." Parkour said. "What's the problem?"

"Cut the act Lynn. I know who you guys are. And no, Lincoln didn't tell me. I figured it out." She tells them. "But this isn't the time for an explanation. Your brother is in trouble!"

"Trouble!?" The sisters exclaimed.

Back at base, Lincoln is checking the monitors. "This should be Clyde's job." He said. "But he had that doctor's appointment."

Lincoln cracks open a soda and continues watching the monitors. Behind him, a puddle is starting to take shape.

Back in the city, the girls were trying to grasp what Ronnie Anne just said. "What do you mean Linky is in trouble?" Multiple Girl asks.

"Hydro wanted to make sure you guys would be looking for him, so he can finish off Firecracker." said Ronnie Anne. "Trust me I know my comics."

"Wait you read comics too?" Ms. Appear asked.

"Yes but that's not the point. Who took Lincoln to the base?" She asks.

"That would be me." Wildgirl sighed.

"Well it makes sense. Because you know he's powerless." said Ronnie Anne

"Yeah. But we didn't see Hydro when we left." Wildgirl points out.

"Unless. He can hide by turning himself into something." said Ms. Appear.

"He turned into water when he escaped!" Parkour realized.

"Which means he probably followed Wildgirl to the base without her or Lincoln even knowing" Crystal Princess said.

"That would be logical. But, how would he get there though?" Prodigy questioned.

"Wait dudes. There's a stream not far from the base." Amplifier pointed out. "What if he used that to follow Wildgirl?"

"The perfect cover up!" Ms. Appear gasped.

"We have to save Linky!" Multiple girl exclaimed.

"Right. I'll run ahead. The rest of you try to get there as soon as you can." Speed Queen says. The rest of the L-Crew nod in agreement. Speed Queen then runs off towards the base. "I just hope i can get there in time."

Back at the base Lincoln is watching the monitors with his root beer. He looks over and sees Lola's mirror on the keyboard. "Huh. Lola's mirror. Better check and see if it's broken. Lola was saying that it was opening hard." Lincoln says to himself.

Lincoln struggles to open Lola's mirror, but he succeeds and sees Hydro in the reflection. "Hello Firecracker." He said.

Lincoln stands up and turns around to see Hydro standing in front of him. "How did you find this place?" Lincoln asks while glaring at Hydro.

"I followed you and your sister Wildgirl." said Hydro.

"Why are you here?" Lincoln asked even though he knew the answer.

"Simple. I'm here to finish the job I started yesterday." Hydro answered. The two then start to circle each other.

"Let me guess finish me off?" Lincoln asked.

"Correct Firecracker." said Hydro.

"You really think that you have what it takes to finish me off?" Lincoln asks defiantly. "You failed to do it yesterday and you will fail to do it today."

"All part of my master plan. You being powerless, you're defenselsss." said Hydro.

"Who says that I'm defenseless? Just because i have no powers doesn't mean I'm defenseless." Lincoln says. He grabs his root beer bottle and holds it in his hands. "If you think that I'm an easy target, then your about to find out how wrong you are."

"What are you going to do fizz me to death?" Hydro asked with sarcasm.

"Nope. I'm about to see what happens when you miss water and soda!" Lincoln tells him. He then throws the bottle at Hydro.

Hydro got hit with the soda bottle. "Ah crap." said Hydro.

His body starts fizzing. Hydro then turns solid and turns to face Lincoln but is met with a punch to the face. "Let's go. No powers. Just a good old fight." Lincoln challenges.

"Very we'll end you the old fashion way." said Hydro and punched Lincoln in the gut. But Lincoln recovered and gives Hydro a right hook.

Hydro staggers back and Lincoln tackles him to the ground. When he has Hydro down, Lincoln starts punching him.

"Time to end it!" Lincoln shouted and punches Hydro in the face so hard.

Hydro throws Lincoln off him with his legs. The two again charge at each other. Lincoln throws a right hand but Hydro sidesteps and hits Lincoln in the back of the neck with his elbow. Lincoln then returns the favor and hits Hydro with a gut punch.

Hydro grabs Lincoln's head and knees him in the face and gave him a roundhouse kick.

Lincoln falls onto his back. Hydro then gets on top of him and starts to strangle him. Lincoln tries to fight out and he grabs Hydro's mask. Lincoln is then able to get a foot up and pushes Hydro off him. Lincoln takes a second to catch his breath and when he looks down he sees Hydro's mask in his hand.

"Wait a minute?" Lincoln said and sees who Hydro really is. "You're Mr. McCann's son, Chandler!"

"Yeah. Yeah I am!" Chandler says. "You and your stupid team ruined me! You ruined my future. You ruined my face. You ruined reputation! Everything that has happened to me over the past few days is all the L-Crew's fault!" He then charges at Lincoln. "YOU RUINED ME!"

Chandler punches Lincoln and his goggles come right off. Lincoln looks up and Chandler eyes widen.

"Well, well, well. Larry. Or was it Lincoln? Doesn't matter to me." Chandler says. He then realizes something. "Hold on. If you are Firecracker, that means that the rest of the L-Crew are your dumb sisters." He then starts laughing.

"They're not dumb you rich jerk?!" Lincoln shouted.

"Yeah they are." Chandler says while laughing. Lincoln then rushes forward and hits Chandler with a uppercut.

"You and your sisters did this to me!" Chandler recovered from the uppercut.

"Look on the bright side you can cosplay as Deadpool." Lincoln chuckled.

"Shut up! You know what Larry, I'm not even mad to know that your Firecracker." Chandler tells him. "You want to know why?"

"Here we go." said Lincoln and then pressed a button on his watch.

"It's simple Loud. I hate you. I hate Firecracker." Chandler tells him. "And now that i know that you and him are one in the same, I'll being two people i hate all at once." He then forms a water sphere. "Now I'm going to kill you. And after your dead, I'll kill your sisters. Say goodbye Larry!" As he prepares to throw the sphere, Speed Queen bursts through and attempts to hit Chandler. However, Chandler turns into water to avoid the punch.

"Dang it!" Speed Queen groaned

"You missed me old lady." Chandler taunts. "When are you L-Crew members going to realize that you can't touch me. NOTHING can touch me."

Lincoln only smiles at that. "Hey Chandler!" Lincoln calls. "Do you know what happens when water is exposed to extremely low temperatures?"

"It freezes!" Chandler replied with a smug look on his face

"Exactly. Black Ice now!" Lincoln called. Chandler gives Lincoln a confused look when all of a sudden, he starts to feel his body start to freeze.

"What the heck? I can't move." Chandler says panicing. He turns around and sees Black Ice hitting him with a ice blast.

"Game over Chandler." said Balck ice

"This can't be happening. How is this happening? Your a loser Larry. A loser!" Chandler shouts. Lincoln then walks up to Chandler and gets in his face.

"I'm not a loser Chandler. I'm a winner. I'm one who is still standing." Lincoln tells him. "Also, you said something about me being powerless." Lincoln then forms a flame on his finger. "Well look what we have here. Looks like my powers have returned. And you know what's funny? I didn't even need powers to kick your butt. Let that stick with you for the rest of your life."

"No!" Chandler's last words before being frozen solid.

When he's completely frozen, Lily blows a raspberry. Afterwards, the girls turned their attention to their brother and saw that he had a black eye, several bruises and he was bleeding from his mouth. But he stood their with a smile on his face.

"You alright Linc?" Luan asks.

"Never better." Lincoln replied. "But my powers are back."

"Nice dude." Luna tells him. "So, Hydro was Chandler?"

"Makes sense and we ruined his life." Lincoln sighed.

"Well you know what they say Lincoln, what goes around comes around. He bullied you for months. And eventually, karma got to him. Remember, this isn't your fault Lincoln. Everything that has happened is all on Chandler and his father. And they have both paid for it." Lori tells him.

"You got a point there Lori." said Lincoln.

"You got your powers back Lame-o." Ronnie anne asked

"Yeah. So I guess that my sisters know that you know about our powers?" Lincoln asked.

"Yeah, I guess so. Don't worry I won't tell no one." Ronnie anne said. "Same goes for Bobby."

"He doesn't know right?" Lori asked.

"No, he doesn't." Ronnie Anne replied.

"Good." Lori said with relief.

"Hey girls, now that my powers are back, how about a movie night?" Lincoln suggested.

"With perfectly popped popcorn?" Luan asked.

"With warm hugs?" The twins asked.

"Yes and double yes." Lincoln answers.

"But first I believe I promised a tour to certain girl."

"Ok sounds good to me, give me the tour Linc." said Ronnie Anne.

Lincoln grabs her by the hand and starts showing her around. The girls then turn their attention to the frozen Chandler.

"So that means Chandler killed his own dad." Lola asked.

"It makes sense. Seeing that toxic waste ruined his life." Lisa explained.

"Yeah. So what should we do with him?" Lana asks.

"I'll take him to the police and then they can figure it out." Lori says.

"Mind if I hitch a ride? My force field can keep him from melting." Luan said.

"Sure" Lori answers. Luan then climbs onto Lori's back while Lori picks up the frozen Chandler. After he's picked up Luan puts a force field around him. Then the two run off to the police.

"So of Ronnie Anne knows about us, that means we have to let her in the base?" Lynn stated.

"Technically she is already here." Lisa points out. "So yes."

"Great!" Lynn rolled her eyes. "Why don't we have Bobby, Rocky and Kody join in."

"Lose the sarcasm Lynn." Lisa sighed.

"Don't forget, Ronnie Anne figured it out on her own." Lucy pointed out.

"Correct, but her brother isn't the brightest." said Lisa.

"Yeah Remember the poison ivy thing?" Luna asked.

The girls shivered at the memory.

"Her face looked like a bloated turkey." Lynn pointed out.

"Yeah. It was funny." Lana commented

"Yeah it was pretty funny." said Lola and burst into laughter.

"Yeah. Besides, Linky trusts Ronnie Anne." Leni says.

Lynn sighs and says. "Your're right and we should trust her too."

"Yeah dudes. We can trust her." Luna says with a smile. The girls turn their attention to their brother showing his girlfriend around the base with smiles on their faces.

Chandler sat in jail cell thinking about the events that took place over the past three days. "They messed up my face, they ruined my future, they destroyed my life! Chandler shouted.

But then he got a idea and it was perfect. "Louds, you may have one the battle, but the war is far from over. Rest assured i will get my revenge on you and in the end, the L-Crew will be history. So enjoy this victory while you can because I'm coming for you. Especially you Larry! Mark my words, you are all finished!" Chandler then turns into water and escaped prison through the toilet.
