110. Multiverse war part 1

Lincoln is asleep in his own bed late at night, he was at peace until Lynn opened the door. "Lincoln wake up." Lynn said as Lincoln opened his eyes, groaned and rubbed his eyes.

"Lynn, for the last time I'm not gonna help you do midnight training." Lincoln groaned.

"No this is really important." Lynn said.

"Can't it wait till the morning?" Lincoln groaned.

"No can do bro." Lynn said. "Cuddles called us and said that Martha detected a anomaly similar to what we picked up when Lincoln X came here."

"Well that surely can't wait till the morning." Lincoln said getting out of bed. He and Lynn step out of the room where they see the rest of their sisters in the hallway.

"Ok good Lincoln's up." Lori said. "Alright we gotta get moving. Mr. Cuddles already sent us the coordinates. We gotta move quick. Everyone got it?"

"Yeah." Everyone said though they sounded half-asleep.

"Good enough." Lori said. "Let's move out."

At the facility, Stuart was still preparing the wormhole generator as Xander, Pike and Helios looked on.

"Still need more time." Stuart said. He turns to Xander, Pike and Helios. "Make sure I'm not disturbed."

"We'll make sure no one comes here and ruins your plans." Xander said.

"After what happened with the Terror Crew's attack, I doubt they know our location." said Helios.

"Don't underestimate them luv." Xander told her. "Those kids are resourceful. They'll figure it out."

"Well if that's the case, let's get ready for our guests." Pike said with a sinister smile before the three walked out. Once they're gone, Stuart turns back to the Wormhole generator.

"Not too long now." Stuart said.

The L-Crew are driving/flying to the coordinates. "So what do you girls think X escaped or the Genderbent L-Crew?" Firecracker asked.

"A possibility. But if it's our evil gender counterparts we need to send them back before our world descends into chaos." Prodigy replied.

"Agreed." Speed Queen said. "We can't waste any time. We need to get to wherever Stuart's hiding before it's too late. Prodigy how much further?"

"Not much further eldest sibling and team leader." Prodigy replied. "Next street on the left."

"Right." Speed Queen said. They all turn right.

"The place we're looking for should be coming up on our left." Prodigy said.

"I think I see it dudes." Amplifier said. "It's that old lab up ahead." Prodigy looks at the monitor in her hands and nods.

"Indeed elder sister and second-in-command." She says. "That's it."

"Alright." Speed Queen said. "Let's head in. Hopefully Armor, Surge, and Genarocker show up soon. But we can't wait around."

The team run into the lab searching for Stuart and the wormhole generator.

"This place is huge." Ms. Appear commented as they ran. "How are we supposed to find a wormhole generator in this place?"

"Simple luv. You don't." They all stop in their tracks when they see Xander, Helios and Pike standing in the hallway cutting them off and stopping them in their tracks.

"Xander." Wildgirl growled.

"Helios." Black Ice scowled.

"And Pike." Speed Queen said. "Stand aside."

"Not happening." Pike said. "We're being paid big money to keep you brats out and we ain't budging."

"Then we'll force you out of the way." Parkour said punching her fist in her palm.

"Bring it on losers." Helios said.

Both forces charge at each other and began their to fight. Both Firecracker and Black Ice decided to tag team Helios. Pike attempts to impale Ms. Appear with his blades, but she quickly put up a forcefield blocking the attack.

The twins decided to tag team against Xander with Wildgirl turning into a triceptops and Crystal Princess encased her sister with crystal armor and crystal a crystal lance and shield in her hands. "Bring it on , you Clayton knock off." Crystal Princess shouted.

"Please luv, Clayton wishes he was me." Xander said before sliding underneath Wildgirl causing the twins to miss him. Xander then ran up Wildgirl's tail and kicked Crystal Princess off before turning his attention to Wildgirl.

"You'll pay dearly for that." Wildgirl growled.

"I don't have to pay for anything." Xander said as he took out his machette. "Come on Wildgirl let's finish this."

"Wildgirl!" Speed Queen shouted as she dodged slashes from Pike. "We don't have time to settle old scores. We have a mission and we gotta get passed these guys fast so we can't waste time." Wildgirl let out a growl but knew her sister was right. They didn't have time to mess around. So for the time being they had to focus on getting passed their enemies.

"Right." Wildgirl said. "We're stopping your plans Xander."

"Try it luv." Xander said. Before he could move he was kicked in the back by Multiple Girl. Seeing an opening, Wildgirl charged forward and rammed Xander sending him sliding back. "You'll pay for that."

"Do something then." Wildgirl challenged.

"What she said." Multiple Girl added.

Firecracker is dodging some of Helios' Plasma blasts and he threw fireballs at her and Black Ice formed some ice chunks and threw them towards Helios. She fired a plasma blast at the ice chunks, melting them Completely.

"We need to find another way to get another Helios!" Firecracker said.

We don't have time to figure that out." Black Ice says. "We'll just have to power through for now."

"You got a point." Firecracker says.

"You won't be going anywhere!" Helios said.

"Heads up!" Ms. Appear said as she swung her forcefield blade at Helios who backflipped to avoid it.

"Nice one." Firecracker said.

"Thanks." Ms. Appear said. "But she ain't done yet."

Helios forms Two plasma blades in her hands and gets into a battle stance. "Bring it on metal mouth!" Helios said.

Parkour is dodging all of Pike's attacks, that's when Amplifier fired an electric blast at Pike knocking him down, but Pike gets back up with a sinister smile on his face.

"I almost killed you once before." Pike said raising his blades. "I look forward to doing it again but this time I'll make sure to finish the job."

"I'll like to see you try." Parkour said.

"It's going to be your last fight Parkour!" Pike said.

Stuart stood by the wormhole generator as it continued to warm up.

"A few more minutes." Stuart said.

Pike lunged at Speed Queen who used her speed to avoid his blades.

"It'll be fun to kill the leader of the L-Crew." Pike said sadiscally.

"Too bad you ain't getting the chance as she countered the blades with super fast kicks.

Pike flies back as he hits a wall on impale, he gets back up and growls. "I had enough of you kids running my fun!" Pike shouted as he charged again at Speed Queen.

"Predictable." Speed Queen muttered under her breath and dodged Pike's attack at high speed.

However Pike smirks and stops in his tracks before quickly spinning around almost hitting Speed Queen who barely dodges it.

"Please child." Pike taunted. "I'm many things. Predictable isn't one of them." He then lunges again only to get grabbed by a vine pulling him back.

"Thanks Greenthumb." Speed Queen said to their smallest member only to quickly get into a defensive position as Pike frees himself.

Meanwhile Xander was blocking pieces of the floor that were being launched at him by Prodigy.

"You know Wildgirl you usually try to fight me on your own. What changed luv?" Xander growled.

"The fact we don't have time." Wildgirl replied. "Prodigy keep pouring it on!" She then goes Buffalo.

"I'm on it!" Prodigy replied as she picked up more pieces of the floor with her telekinesis and threw them towards Xander, but the either dodged or blocked pieces.

Ms. Appear and Helios are in engaged to a duel with Ms. Appear blocking Helios' attasks, but she can feel the heat of Helios' makeshift weapons.

"Getting hot in here." Ms. Appear groaned.

"Then why not make it hotter?" Helios said but gets hit by electricity from Amplifier knocking her back.

"Thanks." Ms. Appear said. "Me, Firecracker, and Black Ice got Helios. You go help against Pike."

"Got it." Amplifier said before running off towards where Pike was currently fighting Parkour. Parkour pushes the blades away with her hands to avoids the blades.

Then an electric blast hits Pike in the side, Pike looked to his left and sees Amplifier with her hands surging with Electricity. "Ready for another rematch sparky?" Pike asked.

"I'm going to make this quick." Amplifier said.

"I highly doubt that." Pike said as he and Amplifier charged at each other.

In another part of town, Surge, Armor, and Genarocker were racing through the city trying to reach the facility.

"C'mon we got get there quick!" Surge said.

"We still got a few miles to go." Armor told her. "Hopefully the Louds got it handled."

"We still gotta get there fast." Genarocker told him. "C'mon we're running out of time!"

Helios dodged some of Ms. Appear's attacks along with Firecracker and Black Ice's attacks as well. "We're going to end this quick Helios!" Firecracker said.

"You ain't ending nothing!" Helios said before firing a plasma blast at Firecracker who countered with a fire blast of his own causing the two attacks to collide.

"Whoa! That's bright!" Ms. Appear replied.

"Damn it, I can't see my kill! Pike shouted as he swinger his blades around hitting nothing.

"Good thing the masks have built in light protection." Prodigy said. "I made sure to add them for instances like this."

"Nice Prodigy." Speed Queen said. "Greenthumb now!" Greenthumb raises her hands and too large stalks pop out of the ground and slam into Pike, Xander and Helios pinning them to the wall with the L-Crew successfully avoiding them.

"Damn it." Helios growled.

"Well played luv." Xander says.

"Alright let's move." Speed Queen ordered. Everyone nods and runs off.

"They got passed us." Pike growled.

"No worries mate." Xander assured him. "We bought Stuart time. That was the goal. Time for the next stage. Cut us free." Pike brings his blades up and cuts the stalks freeing the three. "Let's go."

The L-Crew continued down the hall until they came across a large room. When they entered it they saw what they came there for. The wormhole generator. Up on a platform by a terminal they saw Stuart.

"Hold it right there Stuart." Speed Queen shouted causing Stuart to stop what he was doing.

"Ah L-Crew." Stuart said without turning around. "How unexpected and by unexpected I mean completely expected." The L-Crew look at him confused.

"You wanna run that by us again?" Parkour shouted. "Are we unexpected or are we expected?"

"I was being sarcastic you muscle head!" Stuart said as he turned around and I thought Multiple Girl was the stupid one."

"Hey I'm not stupid!" Multiple Girl replied with a glare.

"Alright Stuart what are you planning to do with that wormhole generator?" Firecracker demanded. "What does it do exactly?"

"In case you're curious." said Stuart. "You're aware of the multiverse right?"

"We know about it." Prodigy replied.

"Beyond that portal is unlimited worlds to explore, unlimited possibilities to those worlds. All within my grasp!"

"But it'll drive our world and many others to chaos!" Speed Queen exclaimed.

"Oh I know." Stuart said with a chuckle. "But with the power of this machine I have the power of the Multiverse in the palm of my hand." He presses a button and the wormhole generator activated forming a blue portal.

"Whoa." Parkour said. "That's crazy. How'd you even do this?"

"It's all thanks to the genius mind that I'd Dr. X." Stuart explained. "He was kind enough to leave me his notes on the Multiverse and boy were they useful and now I have access to any universe in existence!"

"And do you really think we're gonna let you go through that?" Firecracker shouted. However Stuart just chuckled.

"Oh Firecracker you stupid boy. I'm not going through this portal." He says before leaning forward. "You are."

"What does he mean by that?" Multiple Girl asked. Suddenly, Xander, Pike and Helios appear in the doorway. Xander throws several mines at the feet of the L-Crew.

"Farwell L-Crew." Stuart said. "Have a nice trip!" Helios blasts the mines causing them to explode and send the L-Crew flying right through the portal. "And it's a one-way trip!" He then laughs maniacally as he closes the portal. "Well that takes care of them. Well time to move to our new base. T-Bots! Start moving everything!" T-Bots then start coming and they grab the wormhole generator and start flying off with it. As it was being lifted off the ground, Surge Armor and Genarocker run in.

"We're here, but where's the L-Crew?" Surge asked.

"You're too late. The L-Crew are no longer on this world!" Stuart exclaimed.

"What do you mean?" Genarocker asked in a shaky voice.

"What I mean is that the L-Crew are no longer in this universe!" Stuart told them. "The L-Crew are now trapped in the Multiverse. With no way home."

"You monster!" Surge shouted.

"If you wish to follow them. You'll be lost in the multiverse!" Stuart said. "But I love to stay and chat, but I have other plans."

The T-Bots fly down and grab Stuart along with Xander, Pike and Helios where they carry them away from the facility.

"Farewell L-Crew B-Squad." Xander said. "See you around."

"STUART!" Armor shouted. "GET BACK HERE!" However they were gone. "Damn it." The three stand there in silence processing what Stuart told them.

"Guys, what do we do now?" Genarocker asked.

"I think we need to go to base." Surge said. "Because we got an emergency problem."

Firecracker is been flown throughout the multiverse and gets thrown out of a portal and lands in an alleyway. "Ow!" Firecracker groaned as he gets back up. "Stuart is crazy and where the hell am I?" He began to exit the alleyway and looks around the city.

"Looks like Royal Woods. Maybe I got teleported?" Firecracker questioned.

He walks around the city where he sees several cop cars drive by at full speed. "Wonder where they're going at such a hurry?" He sees a newspaper and picks it up. "'Dr. X released from police custody. Judge's decision baffles legal experts.' Dr. X? He was that scientist guy that my doppelganger Lincoln X was tracking down. Last time I saw him was when we teamed up Lincoln X's team and defeated him. But he was taken away back to his universe." He looks around at his surroundings. "Wait. Don't tell me that I'm in Lincoln X's universe." Then a cop car pulls up next to him.

"Oh Detective Lincoln. I thought you were at the crime scene." The cop said. Firecracker looks at him confused but decides to play along.

"Uh yeah." Firecracker lied. "Mind giving me a ride?"

"Sure thing. Get in."

The police car arrives at the crime scene as Firecracker exits the car. "Thanks for the ride!" Firecracker said.

"Anything Detective!" The police officer said as he exited the car.

"Now I need to find my other counterpart or my sisters and explain what happened." Firecracker whispered to himself.

He looks around the crime scene and sees a dead body in the center with several officers around it. He then sees a familiar trench coat in the center of all the officers.

"I want witnesses." A familiar voice said. "This happened in the wide open so somebody saw something."

"Got it Detective." An officer said. The officers walk off and detective turns around where Firecracker sees that he's none other than Lincoln X.

"Alright. Lisa what do we got?" Lincoln X asked as he approached the body where his sister was examining the wounds.

"Definitely shot with an M16." Lisa said. "I fear that this was a gang shooting."

"Better look around for bullet shells and check for clues on how many shooters there were." said Lincoln X.

"I agree." Lisa replied.

"Gonna have to let Lori know." Lincoln X said. "Could be the work of you know who."

"Wouldn't be surprised." Lisa agreed.

It was at this point Firecracker decided to make himself known.

"I see you're as busy as ever." Firecracker said causing the two alternate Louds to stop in their tracks and turn around to see the Lincoln X's doppelganger.

"Other Lincoln?!" Lincoln X and Lisa questioned.

"Hey X, it's been awhile." Firecracker said.

"What are you doing here?" Lincoln X asked. "More importantly. How did you get here?"

"It's kinda a long story." Firecracker said. "Think we can go to your precinct?"

"Yeah sure just let us finish up here and we'll go meet up with the others." Lincoln X said. "Just give us ten minutes."

"Alright, take your time guys." Firecracker said as he leaned on the side.

"I suggest that you hide. We don't want the police to ask questions." Lisa suggested.

"Good point." Firecracker said. "One cop thought I was you." He then heads into an alleyway while Lincoln X and Lisa investigate the crime scene.

Once The cops are gone, Lincoln X and Lisa both walked towards the alleyway to get Lincoln. "Hey Lincoln it's all clear!" Lincoln X called out as Firecracker walks out of the alleyway.

"We don't have much time, we need to head back to base and find a way back to your dimension." Lisa said.

"Ok how do we get back to your place?" Firecracker asked.

"Don't worry." Lisa assured him. "How do you think we got here." They lead Firecracker to a police car parked a little aways from the other cops. "Presenting the self-driving police cruiser."

"Whoa." Firecracker said.

"Since Lori is blind and many of us either don't have a license or can't drive, I created this by upgrading an old police cruiser the police department were going to get rid of." Lisa explained. "With built in AI."

"Hello Lisa." The AI said. "Hello Lincoln."

"Sweet. Does the AI have a name?" Firecracker asked. "We call ours Martha."

"We call ours Murtaugh." Lincoln X said.

"Murtaugh, take us back to the precinct please." Lisa said.

"Right away Lisa." Murtaugh replied and began to drive away to the Loud Precinct.

When they arrived at their precinct's headquarters, Firecracker was surprised to see that I really wasn't what he thought it was. He thought it was something similar to his universe's base which was basically an old abandoned warehouse that they tricked out even more when Mr. Cuddles joined them. The Universe X base of operations was basically an old store area that they leased that said in big letters 'Loud Detective Agency'.

"Wow this place is nice?" Firecracker said trying to sound polite.

"Yeah we know it's not all that great but it's all we can afford because we're basically taking care of each other." Lincoln X explains. "I mean Lori is technically still our guardian but we also have to help her because she's blind. We still have to go too school even if we have an ongoing investigation."

"Wow you guys do have it rough." Firecracker comments.

"Indeed but we make ends meet." Lisa assured him. "No need to feel sorry for us."

"Didn't you almost die?" Firecracker says. Lisa sighs.

"Yes." She responded. "A lab explosion did almost kill me. And yes I do have cybernetic implants in my body. However I am still the same Lisa you know. Sort of." Firecracker nods and they all get out of the police car. They walk inside the building where Firecracker sees that the inside was a lot nicer than the outside. A lot better decorated and less rundown.

"Not bad." Firecracker comments. He hears a saxophone being played in a nearby cubicle. He looks inside it to see the alternate version of Luna playing a saxophone. "Whoa. She's good."

"I know right?" Lincoln X comments. "While your Luna is an pro at Rock and Roll, our Luna is the queen of jazz. Hey Luna we're back and we got a visitor!" Luna stops playing and looks up to see Lisa and two Lincolns standing before her.

"Whoa! The Other Lincoln is here?" Luna questioned.

"Yeah, it's a long story." Firecracker said.

"We have a case to solve and get my other copy home before our world goes into chaos." Lincoln X replied.

"Lori's gonna want to hear this." Luna said. "C'mon little, um, bros." Luna leads the two Lincolns to Lori's office while Lisa went to go look over the evidence before translating it too braille for Lori. Once they reach the office door, Luna knocks.

"Come in." Luna opens the door and Firecracker peers in to see the alternate version of his oldest sister moving her hand across some notes. "What's going on Luna? And why do I smell something burning?"

"Hey Lori, we have a visitor." Luna tells her.

"A visitor huh?" Lori questioned as she got to her feet and grabbed her cane where she approached them. "Are Lincoln and Lisa back yet?"

"I'm here Lori." Lincoln X replied.

"And I'm here too." Firecracker said.

"Real funny Lincoln." Lori groaned. "Pretending to be two people."

"No Lori. This is actually another Lincoln. The same one who helped us caught Dr. X." Lincoln X replied.

"He's telling the truth." Luna added.

"I would have excepted this from Luan before she lost her voice. But this is still not funny." Lori said.

"Lori touch me." Firecracker said as he stepped closer to the blind Loud. "You'll know that they're not lying. Lori sighs and places her hands on Firecracker's face and gasps when she feels how warm he is.

"I remember Lincoln telling me about his adventure in the other universe." Lori said as she rubbed her hands on Firecracker's face. "Since I couldn't see everyone's abilities he decided to describe them to me. He said the alternate version of him had fire powers and his skin was warm to the touch." She smiles down at him. "You really are the other Lincoln."

"I sure am." Firecracker replied.

"So what brings you over to our universe?" Lori asked.

"It's a long story. But this scientist Dr. Stuart built a portal to the multiverse and sent me and my sisters through it." Firecracker replied.

"Where are your sisters?" Lori asked. "I don't hear them only my own."

"They aren't here." Firecracker told her. "I think Stuart sent them to other universes."

"So the rest of your sisters are in different universes?" Lori asked.

"He's already in a universe with familiar faces." Lincoln X said. "But his sisters are a different story."

"I see." Lori said. Firecracker opened his mouth to comment on the statement but thought better of it. "Listen alternate Lincoln, I would really like to help you. Trust me I would especially after you helped our brother in your universe. However we got a lot on our plate right now. Dr. X is still on the run after a judge let him despite the many crimes against him."

"Judge was definitely paid off." Lincoln X comments with Luna nodding in agreement.

"On top of that we now gotta figure if the recent murder that happened is connected to the Terror Crew or not." Lori continued.

"You guys have a Terror Crew too?" Firecracker asked surprised. Lori reached into her desk and pulled out a file which surprised Firecracker with how fast she grabbed it. She then handed it to him. He opens the file and sees four mugshots. Three that looked like the Johnny Speed, Nuke, and Candyman from his universe while the fourth man who was completely bald with a scar across his eye that Firecracker didn't recognize but assumed was the Squatch of this universe with out the hairy body and super strength.

"It's just four of them. I have to deal with seven members of the Terror Crew in my world." said Firecracker.

"Seven?!" The three other Louds exclaimed.

"Yeah they're quite the handful." Firecracker says rubbing the back of his neck. "But I assume these guys are just as dangerous?"

"Very." Lincoln X responded. "We believe that they were once connected to the biggest crime boss in Royal Woods before they split off."

"Who's the Crime boss?" Firecracker asked.

"Andrew Tetherby." Luna answers. Firecracker's eyes widen.

"Andrew Tetherby?" He repeated. "He's the big crime boss?"

"He is." Lori nodded. "He's been running his father's crime circuit ever since his father passed away."

"I never pictured Lord Tetherby as a crime boss in my world." Firecracker said.

"Well his son is more ruthless than his father ever was." Lori tells him. "He has hold on this city like no one has ever seen. He's got cops, judges and politicians all in his back pocket. That's how we believe Dr. X was able to get off. We think Tetherby paid off the judge. So now we gotta hunt him down again."

"Wow." Firecracker said. "I can see how you guys have your hands full."

"Which is why it's going to be tough helping you get home." Lori said. "Luna call a meeting with everyone. We gotta figure out a new plan of attack."

"You got it sis." Luna replied as she exited Lori's office.

"The sooner I get back home the better. I want Stuart to pay for sending me and my sisters to other universes." Firecracker said.

"Like I said I really wish we could help you." Lori tells him. "But we got a lot going on." This gives Firecracker an idea.

"What if I lend you guys a hand?" He suggested. "I should be able to help you guys out with my powers."

"It'll make our case and taking down Tetherby easier to take down." Lori said.

"Plus I hate the though of you coming to my world and do nothing." Lincoln X said.

"Besides you guys helped us, and now I can return the favor." Firecracker added.

"Sweet." Lincoln X said. "Then you better join the meeting." He then opens the door and holds it open for Lori. When the two Lincolns followed her they saw that everyone was gathered.

"Wow. Luna works quick." Firecracker comments.

"Whoa, the other Lincoln is back." Lana said.

"The tea leaves said something about an old face returning in our lives." Lola said.

"Ugh. You and those tea leaves." Lana groaned. "Also is he really an old face if he looks almost exactly like our brother?"

"Technicality." Lola responds. Luan signs something to Firecracker who looks at her confused.

"She's asking what brings you here." Lincoln X interpreted. "We all learned sign language so we could understand what Luan is saying and so we can pass the message to Lori."

"Gotcha." Firecracker said. "Well the reason I'm here isn't really my choice."

"Oh really?" Lynn says from her wheelchair. "So why are you here then?"

"This scientist named Stuart has built a portal to the multiverse and sent me and my sisters to other universes." Firecracker explained.

"Oh dear. I hope they're alright." Leni said.

"As long they stay out of this universe where there's an evil L-Crew who are the opposite genders." Firecracker said which brought attention to the other Louds. "It's a long story. But I'm here to help you guys take down Andrew Tetherby."

Luan once again says something through sign language. "Luan wants to know what we're dealing with." Lucy interpreted. "Honestly I have to agree with her. Like who was the person killed?"

"After going over the stuff we collected from the crime scene, I've come to conclusion that the man murdered was a member of the Terror Crew's gang." Lisa replied. "He was killed in what appeared to be a drive-by with an M16."

"Ok so we're getting on the right track." Lori said as she sat in a chair. "Leni, are the Terror Crew associated with Tetherby still?" Leni shakes her head.

"From I understand the Terror Crew broke off from Tetherby five months ago." Leni explained. "And the separation was not on friendly terms either so to speak. The Terror Crew are one of the few gangs that have clashed with Tetherby and lived to tell the tale. I wouldn't be surprised if Tetherby organized that drive-by."

"Which means the Terror Crew will want to respond." Luna finished.

"Exactly." Leni confirmed.

"Damn it." Lori growled clenching her cane. "We're talking all out gang warfare. When I get my hands on Johnny." Firecracker leans into his doppelganger.

"What's her issue with Johnny?" Firecracker whispered.

"Johnny is the reason Lori is blind." Lincoln X whispered back. "When we went after them the first time, Johnny splashed chemicals in Lori's face causing her to go blind. She's been wanting to catch him ever since."

Damn, that's rough." Firecracker whispered back.

"It was a tough time for everyone even Lori, she has to get used to being blind." Lincoln X replied.

"Wow. Your Lori is more obsessed with Johnny than mine is." Firecracker says.

"Sure is." Lincoln X agreed.

"Lori, relax." Luna told her.

"Yeah your aura is all blackened." Lola says. "You need to release your negative Chakra."

"Besides Johnny ain't the only one we gotta worry about." Lynn says. "There's his brother."

"Big Mike." Leni said with a scowl on her face. "I still remember when I last prosecuted him. So remorseless and uncaring. Like he didn't care about the crimes he committed."

"Let me guess murder, grand thief auto, drug trafficking and all of that stuff?" Firecracker asked.

"All of the above." Leni replied. "His older brother Johnny is just as bad. Difference is, he's avoided sentencing because he always finds a way to escape. He's quick on his feet. The Meeks brothers together are a dangerous combo. Johnny is the brains and Mike is the brawn."

"Man the Meek brothers are hard to take down in your world just like mine." Firecracker said. "Heck even Johnny from my world nearly killed me during our first encounter."

"Then we got Kyle 'Nuke' Long." Lincoln X continued. "A convicted crook, murderer and arsonist. Leni almost had him put away last year until he was let go because the jury couldn't reach a unanimous verdict."

"They were definitely scared." Leni added. "I had heard possible reports that members of the Terror Crew's gang were parking outside the jurors' houses where they could see them."

"Yikes I already feel bad for the jurors." Firecracker said. "The Nuke in my world calls the Ronnie Anne in my word second rate and picks fights with her."

"And last but not least Willy Wilder." Lincoln X said. "He's a drug dealer and supplier."

"Is he insane?" Firecracker asked.

"Oh yeah. He's insane." Lola said. "His aura is all over the place."

"So not that much different from my Candyman." Firecracker says.

"Candyman keeps escaping every asylum we put him in." Lisa informed him. "And all he does is pretend he's sane so that they'll release him. And when they're transporting him, he drops the act, kills the people transporting him and runs away."

"Yikes. I don't know who's crazier. My Candyman or yours." Firecracker said.

"He's a pain in the ass to deal with." Lynn said.

"I believe it." Firecracker said. "What about Dr. X?"

"No doubt went back running too Tetherby." Lana said as worked on her make-up. "After the judge let him go, a car pulled up and he just got in like he and the driver knew that he was going to be released."

"Go figure. Tetherby is trying to keep his buddies out of prison." Firecracker said. "He could be planning something."

"I think I know where he could be." Lucy tells them. "I've heard that Johnny wasn't too pleased that a member of their gang was murdered. So he called out Tetherby. From what I'm hearing they're meeting at the docks."

"How do you find this stuff out so fast?" Lincoln X asked. "It literally happened twenty minutes ago." Lucy shrugs.

"I have my ways." She replies.

"Knowing Tetherby, he'll probably want to settle things so he'll probably go personally." Lori said. This got Firecracker's attention.

"Why would he put himself in danger?" He asked.

"Because Tetherby is going there to prove something." Luna explained. "He's going there to remind Johnny and his gang who runs this city."

"It could end in his demise if the Terror Crew's thugs ambush him." Lisa stated.

Luan begins to say something in sign as the rest of the Louds look at her. "Or vice versa. You can sign that again sis." Luna said as Luan smiled at that pun.

"I might have to join Luan during her next sign language class." Firecracker says. "So what's the plan?"

"Here's what we're gonna do." Lori said. "Leni, you go to the courthouse and make sure that the judge that released Dr. X doesn't do the hearing for the Terror Crew or Tetherby. Take the twins and Lily with you. The rest of us will go after the Terror Crew and Tetherby."

"You got it." Leni said. "Come on girls." Leni gestured to the twins as she picks up Lily and walks out of Lori's office.

"Alright everyone else let's get moving." Lori ordered.

"Right." Everyone else said in unison.

The remaining Louds are inside of the police cruiser driving down to the docks. "Alright everyone. We only have one shot to take down Tetherby, X and the Terror Crew so we better not waste it." Lori said.

"If we take them down, the crime will be cut in half." Luna added. "So let's take them down." Luan signs something. "And of course be careful."

"Hey quick question." Firecracker said. "Are any of the criminals we're dealing with responsible for Luan becoming mute?" Luan shakes her head no. She signs again. Lincoln looks at her confused.

"She said that it was a random thug that punched her in the throat." Lynn interpreted.

"Huh, I thought it was one of the Terror Crew members who punched Luan in the throat?" Firecracker said.

"Nope, the thug's in jail." Luna said.

"Well ok then." Firecracker said.

"We're approaching the docks." Lisa informed them. "Eldest sibling, should I inform the police of what's about to happen."

"No need." Lori replied. "No doubt Leni will handle it once she's done with her main job. For now let's handle Tetherby and the Terror Crew." The car pulls up and everyone quietly files out. They sneak around a dock and see four figures with several other men with guns standing in a open space.

"Terror Crew." Luna growled. Luan turns to her sister and signs something. "You're right. They do look like they're waiting for something."

"No doubt Tetherby." Lori says. "Everyone stay put till Tetherby shows and even when he does arrive, nobody move. I wanna hear what happens."

"Whatever you say sis." Lynn whispered.

"Someone's coming." Luna reported.

A limo pulls into the docks followed by several black cars. The cars stop and the limo doors open to real Andrew Tetherby. However unlike his other doppelganger who wore a suit, this universe's Tetherby wore a large jacket over a dress shirt. He was then followed by a man who's body was covered in scales and wore a tank top and slacks.

"Dr. X." Lincoln X growled. "Tetherby did help him."

"Quiet." Lori ordered. "I'm trying to hear what they're saying."

"Feels good to be free once again." Dr. X said.

"Well I couldn't let a Great mind like yours rot in jail." Tetherby said. "Besides I got big plans for Royal Woods."

"Then why are we here?" Dr. X asked.

"Because I have certain business to take care of." Tetherby responded as he motioned to the Terror Crew and their gang standing not too far away. He motions to his men to follow him as they approached the Terror Crew. "Johnny."

"Tetherby." Johnny responded in mock politeness. "Nice of you to accept our little invitation."

Firecracker took one look at the Terror Crew of this world. They look the same as their mugshots, but The only differences are their clothes. He's wearing a black leather jacket over a red shirt, blue jeans and black and white running shoes.

Mike is wearing a navy blue t- shirt under a dark green jacket, blue jeans and brown boots.

Nuke is wearing a purple tank top, grey pants and black shoes.

Candyman looks the same as Firecracker's Candyman, the only difference is there's no cane in his hands.

"He brought the Lizard too." Nuke said.

"Big whoop." Mike growled. "Doesn't matter. He doesn't make any difference."

"You sure about that you muscle head." X challenged.

"Enough." Tetherby ordered X before turning back to Johnny. "Why did you call me here?"

"Simple." Johnny said. "We're here to tell you that you're no longer running this town. It'll be us."

"It's nice to dream isn't it." Tetherby taunted. "I run this town. That gang member of yours that we shot was a message. A reminder that I own you. That I'm the top guy in this city. You can only dream."

"Oh yeah you shot one of our boys." Mike said before pulling out a pistol and shooting one of Tetherby's goons in the head. "There. We retaliated." Tetherby looks at him shocked.

"Are you some kind of idiot?" Tetherby asked.

"No I'm not a idiot!" Mike said. "I'm the muscle!"

"He is a dumbass." said Dr. X.

"Hey!" Johnny shouted with authority. "I'm the only one who can call Mike an idiot. No one else. Now choose your words carefully now because you're upsetting Willie." He gestured to the suit wearing member of their gang who was beginning to twitch.

"I don't fear no one." Tetherby told him. "But your idiot brother killed one of my men." Before he could continue, Johnny interrupted.

"As far as I'm concerned that was retaliation for you killing our guy earlier." He tells him.

"So now we're even. But I have a feeling that someone is going to die tonight here at the docks." Tetherby said. "You think you can end my reign Johnny?"

"Of course." Johnny said with a smirk. "I am the one who blinded the leader of the Loud Detective Agency."

As the confrontation continued, Firecracker felt Lori tense up next to him. While he couldn't really hear what they were saying, he knew that this version of Lori had better hearing than his own sister as this Lori's other senses had to get better after losing her sight.

"That bastard." Lori growled. "On my mark we move in."

"Lori calm down." Luna said but Lori ignored her sister.

"On my mark. One, two." Lori counted.

"It's too soon to give away our position." Lincoln X replied.

Lori stops her count and realizes her brother has a point a composed herself.

"Fine." She growled. "But let's move closer so we can get a better view."

"You got it." Lynn whispered as she and the rest of the group began to snuck up for a closer look.

"Ah yes I do recall hearing that." Tetherby said. "The detectives found your hideout and while you escaped you were confronted by Lori Loud. You ended up blinding her with some chemicals you were working with."

"I still remember that day like it was yesterday." Johnny Said. "She was screaming "My eyes! I can't see!"

"That was a good day." Mike commented gruffly. "Now enough talk about the good days. Let's get down to business." He pulls his gun out again and aims it at Tetherby. "How about you join your boy on the ground."

"How predictable." Tetherby said as he shook his head as he chuckled lightly. "You brought me out her to kill me."

"Did you expect anything else?" Johnny responded.

"And here I thought you would be men and finally that I'm your superior." Tetherby said. "X it seems we were set up."

"Indeed sir." X replied. "Indeed we were. But if they think we're gonna just sit here and let them kill us then they're bigger idiots than I thought."

"What the hell are you talking about?" Johnny asked. "You two don't have any guns!"

"I don't need guns." Tetherby said. He gestures to X. "I have him." He then gestures to his men. "And I have them. So I won't have to lift a finger." However he's met with a laugh from Johnny. "And what's so funny?"

"Simply put you just showed the difference between you and us." Johnny replied. "Unlike you we're not afraid to get out hands dirty. And remember what I said earlier? You're upsetting Willie." He pulls out an M16 and tosses it to his twitching friend. "Willie show them how much they upset you."

Candyman aims the M16 at Tetherby's men and began shooting them down. Firecracker watched in horror at this universe's Candyman, he was crazier than his own Candyman. Once the shooting stops, Tetherby's men dropped to the groun.

"That was so much fun." Willie said with a psychotic grin.

"He always takes all the fun." Mike grumbled.

"But it makes him happy." Johnny said before raising his voice. "I hope you enjoyed the show Detectives. Because we're just getting started." Tetherby looks at him surprised as the hidden Detectives and Firecracker stared at each other surprised. "You shouldn't be surprised Louds. I know you better than you think."

"How did he know we were here?" Lucy asked.

"Come out Louds!" Johnny called again. "Or do we have to drag you out?" Everyone turns to Lori who sighs.

"How'd you know we were here Johnny?' Lori shouted.

"I heard the wheels squeaking on your sister's wheelchair." Johnny answered. "Now get out or I'll drag you out myself!"

"There's no way he heard me." Lynn whispered. "Lisa made it so they wouldn't squeak."

"No doubt he just assumed we were here." Lisa said. "For now we should do what he says and cooperate."

"I'll take to the air." Firecracker offered. "Once they pull out guns then I'll get involved."

"Good idea, I want to see the look on X's face when you come in." Lincoln X said.

"It's going to be priceless." Firecracker said.

"Ok but take off where they can't see you." Lori says. Firecracker nods and runs off. "Everyone else, let's go." The Louds come out of their hiding spot and stand face to face with six of the deadliest criminals in Royal Woods.

"Knew you were here." Johnny said with a smirk. "Had a feeling you'd show up and I was right." Lori let's out a growl.

"So this is the Loud Detective Agency." Tetherby said as he slowly approached them. "Not gonna lie, you aren't what I expected. Let's see, one of you is in a wheelchair." Lynn scowls at that. He walked up to Lori and waved his hand in her face. "Ah it is true. You are blind." Lori growls. "And which one of you is the mute?" Luan signs something to him with an angry expression on her face.

"I would interpret that but it's kinda rude." Luna said.

"You must be the Jazz loving sister." Tetherby said. "Im a fan of jazz myself."

"We may the same taste in music, but that doesn't change how I feel about you." Luna said.

Tetherby scowled but didn't respond before turning his attention to Lisa. "Ah the Loud who almost died by her own hand, correct?"

"Yes, that is correct." Lisa replied. "But I was given cybernetic implants."

"Cute." Tetherby said patting her head causing Lisa to push the hand away. He then turned to Lucy. "You're one creepy looking child."

"Says the murderer who rules by fear." Lucy countered. However Tetherby wasn't deterred. In fact he chuckled.

"Guilty as charged." He said with a bow. His eyes then rested on Lincoln X. "And then there's you. Dr. X has told me a great deal about you."

"Yeah I bet, right after you got him off the hook." said Lincoln X.

"I couldn't let a dear friend of mine rot in a jail cell." Tetherby replied. "It wouldn't be right."

"And letting his victims suffer is?" Lori fired back. Tetherby just shrugs. "Whatever makes things work for the better."

"You mean better for you." Luna growled.

"We're going to put you away for a long time Tetherby!" Lynn shouted.

Tetherby once again chuckled. "Please. You know how much control I have in this town?" He says. "I'm not going anywhere." A gun is then pointed at his head. He looks and sees Johnny aiming a pistol at his head.

"How about a morgue?" Johnny says. Soon a walking stick appears in front of his face. "Hello Lori. How's it going?"

"Hello Johnny." Lori said with a hint of anger in her voice.

"It's good to see you." Johnny says. "I bet you wish you could say the same."

"You took away my sight! I can't drive, put on my make up, I can't even enjoy my favourite movies or shows without someone describing it to me thanks to you." Lori said.

"Awe poor baby." Johnny taunted. "Look I'll deal with you in a second. I'm in the middle of something. Mike if you would."

"Of course." Mike said as he aimed his gun at Lori while the rest of the gang aimed at the rest of the Louds. "One wrong move and you're dead."

"So try us. Make our day." Nuke added as he pulled out a flamethrower. "I haven't burnt anything all week."

"You're really going to kill a bunch of kids?" Lincoln X asked.

"You already know the answer to that. We're okay with that." Johnny replied.

"Well we have one thing to say about that." Lincoln X responded. "Firecracker now!" The bad guys look at him confused when suddenly their gun explode in their hands.

"What the hell?!" Mike exclaimed.

"Sorry Terror Chums. But no one is getting shot!" Firecracker said as he floated in the air.

"You!" Dr. X glared.

"How's it going doc?" Firecracker said. "You're looking ugly as ever."

"And you are as much of an annoyance as I remember." Dr. X growled. "I don't know how you got here but what I do know is that you ain't leaving here in one piece."

"I don't feel like talking anyway." Firecracker said as he ignited his fists.

Dr. X cracks his knuckles. "Sir if you excuse me, I have an old annoyance to deal with." He says to Tetherby.

"By all means, do what needs to be done." Tetherby tells him. "I'll just enjoy the show."

"How are you going to defeat me?" Firecracker asked.

"You're all alone. You don't have your sisters to help you out." Dr. X said.

"But he's got us." Lincoln X retorted as he pulled out two blasters. "Now let's have some fun."

"You read my mind." Lynn said. She presses a button on her chair and her wheels turn into turbines allowing the chair to fly.

"Waste them!" Johnny ordered before kicking Lori in the stomach forcing her away from him.

"Let's get 'em!" Lori shouted as she gets back up.

Firecracker flew towards Lori and saves her right before Willy pulled out another M16 and shoots at Firecracker but he dodged the bullets and placed Lori on the ground.

"Thanks Firecracker." Lori said.

Let's get 'em!" Lori shouted as she gets back up.

Firecracker flew towards Lori and saves her right before Willy pulled out another M16 and shoots at Firecracker but he dodged the bullets and placed Lori on the ground.

"Thanks Firecracker." Lori said.

"Don't mention it." Firecracker said. "I'll handle Dr. X. You guys deal with the Terror Crew."

"Right." Lori said before Firecracker flew off. "Johnny is mine." She focuses her hearing to her surroundings trying to separate everyone from the noise. So far she couldn't hear Johnny at all. "I know he's still around. I just gotta find him."

Firecracker flew towards Dr. X and threw two fireballs at him, but Dr. X managed to dodged the fireballs. " time for a rematch." Dr. X said.

"You're going to prison X and nothing will stop me from taking you in this time." Firecracker tells him. He flies towards but X jumps up avoiding Firecracker before hitting a double stomp to Firecracker's back sending him into the ground.

"When will you learn that I'm not some ordinary scientist boy?" X growled before picking Firecracker up and throwing him into the shipping crates.

"I haven't forgotten about that." Firecracker replied as he got back up.

However as soon as he got to his feet he's immediately punched in the gut by X.

"But did you remember that failed to beat me before by yourself?" X taunted.

"Last I checked, you played with my emotions by having to chose between saving my team or stopping you." Firecracker growled only to get hit by an elbow to the back.

"Pathetic." X said. However before he can do anything he's kicked in the side by Lincoln X who holds out a hand to Firecracker.

"Thought you could use some help." Lincoln X tells him.

"Thanks other me." Firecracker said.

"Don't mention it." said Lincoln X. "We took him down last time, so let's do this again."

"I'd like to see you try." Dr. X challenged.

Meanwhile Lori was still trying to find Johnny.

"Damn you Johnny." She growled. "Where are you?"

She hears a tin can being knocked over and Lori turns around and swings her walking stick at nothing. "Damn it." Lori muttered.

"Try and find me." Johnny said.

"Come out you coward!" Lori called out.

"Ah but where would be the fun in that?" Johnny taunted. "You've been after me for a long time. How long has it been? A year now since I blinded you?" Lori didn't respond. "However I will give you credit. You've adopted well. Your senses, your fighting style all that. You've adapted to your blindness but it still eats you up inside that you haven't been able to stop me and bring me in." Lori again doesn't respond as she tried to hear Johnny's footsteps because she knew he was circling her. Suddenly the footsteps stopped. "And at the end of the day you will fail." Lori However smiled.

"Found you." She says before swinging her cane to the left and hit something solid followed by a grunt.

"So you found me?" Johnny grunted.

"I've been waiting along time for this Johnny." Lori said.

"Oh really?" Johnny says. He puts his fists up. "Bring it on." Lori twirls her cane around and gets into a fighting position.

"Let's dance Johnny." She says.

Johnny charged towards Lori and throws a punch at her, but Lori dodged to the left and Smacks Johnny with her cane and hits him on the side with her cane. Johnny recovered from the attack but Lori knees Johnny to the gut.

Lori drops to her knees and feels Johnny grab her hair where he then proceeded to pull her head back before slamming it onto the ground. Lori grabs her cane and swings it at Johnny's legs knocking him to the ground.

"Give up Johnny. I'm Taking you in for good." Lori said.

"Nah I'm good." Johnny said. "Not a fan of prison. Mike told me all about it and said it sucked so I'm good."

"Too bad you weren't given a choice." Lori said.

Johnny gets back up but Lori hits Johnny in theFace knocking him down again. "Like I said before don't have a choice." Lori said.

Johnny then does a leg sweep knocking Lori off her feet. "And like I said before I'm good." The two kip up and face each other again.

"You're going to jail." Lori said.

"And you're going six feet under." Johnny retorted.

Johnny pulls out a gun and aims it at Lori and shoots a bullet towards her. But Lori managed to move out of the way but the bullet hits her in the left shoulder. Lori screams in pain as she covers the bullet wound with her right hand. "Damn it!" Lori grunted under her Teeth.

"Bet you thought your little friend destroyed my gun." Johnny said with a smirk. "But you should know by now that I'm always prepared. Say goodbye kid and tell your parents I said hi." He's about to fire when his gun is then blasted out of his hand. He let's out a growl and looks around and sees Lynn flying around the docks on her chair firing her blasters.

"You ain't killing my sister today pal!" Lynn shouted before flying off. Lori just smiles.

"Good job Lynn." Lori says before turning to Johnny. "Now our dance ain't done yet." Johnny let's out a growl before grabbing a lead pipe.

"Then let's dance." He growled.

Meanwhile, Lisa was fighting her way through the Terror Crew's gang using her cybernetically enhanced strength to take them down.

"You should all just surrender." Lisa says. "You stand no chance."

"You sure about that glasses?" Lisa stops in her tracks and turns to face the muscle of the Terror Crew gang Mike Meeks.

"Ah the neanderthal." Lisa said. "So you wish to try your luck."

"What did you call me?" Mike questioned.

"I called you a Neanderthal." Lisa said. Mike slams down on Lisa, but Lisa dodged the attack. "This proves my point."

"I don't give a damn if you have cybernetic enhancements or not." Mike growled. "When I'm done with you you'll have so much metal in your body you'll be a cyborg."

"My God that sentence must've caused you to use all of your one brain cell." Lisa mocked.

"I'm gonna rip those implants out of your body with my bare hands!" Mike shouted as he charged towards Lisa, but she slid under Mike's legs.

"Alas hairless apes are all the same." Lisa sighed. "Despite my implants I despise violence as I see it beneath me and a waste of time. However I will do what ever it take to bring you in."

"I'd like to see you try nerd." Mike said.

"Tell you what. Neanderthals first." Lisa replied as she gestured Mike to make the first attack.

Mike growled and charged at Lisa who stood where she was with an uninterested look on her face. Once Mike was close he threw a punch but Lisa sidestepped him and hit him with an uppercut sending the larger man stumbling back.

"Lucky shot." Mike growled.

"Care to try again?" Lisa asked with a smirk.

Mike charged towards Lisa again, but Lisa does a leg sweep and knocks Mike on his back.

"You little runt." Mike growled before quickly getting up and punched Lisa in the stomach causing her double over.

"Dang it." Lisa groaned. "It seems I got too careless. Well then I guess I have no choice." She stands up and takes her lab coat off and tosses it to the side. She then rolls up the sleeves on her turtleneck. "I think it's time I took you seriously you Neanderthal. Usually it doesn't take one punch to force my hand but you punch harder that I thought you would." She puts her hands up in a boxing stance. "Bring it on you ignoramus!"

'I am not an idiot!" Mike shouted as he threw a punch at Lisa but she dodged the punch and gives Mike a uppercut to the face. Mike Recovered from the attack and hiya Lisa with a right hook.

Lisa wiped the blood from her nose and proceeded to hit Mike in the gut with several good punches before punching him in the head. Mike rubbed his chin and spit out a tooth and rocked Lisa with a right hand and then kicked her in the stomach.

Lisa recovers from attack and gives a Mike a punch to the gut and a left hook to the Mike's ribs. Mike gives Lisa a punch to the face knocking her door, once Lisa gets back up she sees that the left len of her glasses is cracked. "Those are my favourite glasses." Lisa said to herself.

She then leaps up and kicks Mike in the face. Lisa takes off her glasses and puts on her spares. "Much better." She sees Mike back on his feet.

"I'm gonna make you feel worse." Mike told her.

Mike runs towards Lisa and get ready to throw a punch at her. But Lisa jumps over Mike and karate chops him on the back on his neck.

Mike drops to the ground knocked out while Lisa brushes off her hands. "That takes care of that." She says.

"Enough of this shit!" Nuke shouted as he stepped up holding a flamethrower. "You can all burn!" He then fires the flamethrower shooting flames everywhere.

"Take cover!" Luna ordered as she shoved Luan behind a shipping container. She then saw Will climb onto a shipping container and pulls out a M16 and starts randomly firing it around the dock. "We need to take those two down." She turns to her mute sister. "Got any ideas?"

Luan signed something to Luna which she said. "You serious!?" Luna questioned as Luan nodded. "We can try and do your plan."

They peek out from there cover and saw Nuke still shooting the flamethrower all over the docks.

"Ah the beauty of fire." Nuke said. "You detectives can all burn!"

Luan signs something to Luna. "Yeah I can see him ending up in the burn ward." said Luna. "But you ready to take him down?"

Luan nods while also signing something. "You can sign that again." Luna said preparing her blaster. "Let's do this!"

Luan took out her blaster and nods as the two sisters began to open fire on both Nuke and Willy. "Eat this punks!" Luna shouted.

The two dived out of the way of the blaster fire before turning their attention back to the two teenagers.

"How about you get roasted!" Nuke shouted before shooting the flamethrower at them again.

Both Luna and Luan both dodged the flames and then Willy begins to shoot his M16 at the two girls, but luckily Luna and Luan both dodge the bullets. Luan shoots back at Willy even hitting him in the chest causing her to smirk.

"Don't get cocky Luan." Luna warned.

Luan signs back at her while keeping the smirk on her face. However Willy jumped up with an angry look on his face.

"You take that back!" Willy shouted. "I'm not a bad shot!"

"That's not what she said." Luna says before turning to Luan. "Was it?" Luan signs the same thing as before. "Oh it was. How'd you know what she said?"

"Willy's a part time interpreter for the deaf." Nuke said. "But too bad you're all going to burn to a crisp."

"I rather not be burnt. I have a date next week." Luna said.

"Then you better hope she likes you with burn scars!" Nuke shouted.

"Luan if you're gonna do your plan you better do it quick!" Luna shouted.

"Let's finish these girls arleady." Willy said as he reloaded his M16.

"Luan!" Luna called out.

"With pleasure." Nuke responded as he prepared the flamethrower.

"Any last words Jazz girl?" Willy said as he aimed his M16 at Luna.

"Um yeah. Luan now!" Luna ordered.

Both Nuke and Willy Look confused until Luan threw a flash grenade at the Two blinding them. "Damn it!" Nuke shouted as he covered his eyes.

"My eyes!" Willy said.

"Nice one sis." Luna said. "You deal with Willy I'll deal with Mr. Arsonist." Luan nods and climbs up onto the shipping crate and kicks him off it. Meanwhile Luna runs up to Nuke and kicks the flamethrower out of his hands.

"You're gonna regret that." Nuke growled.

"I'll live with it." Luna said as she aimed her blaster at Nuke and shot at him.

Nuke maneuvers around the blaster fire and hits Luna with a leg sweep causing her to fall to the ground. He then kicks the blaster away.

"Sure you don't wanna rethink your words?" Nuke taunted. He goes to stomp on Luna's hand but she moves it out of the way before getting back to her feet.

"Naw man. I'm good." Luna said getting into a fighting stance.

"Your funeral kid." Nuke said as he threw a punch at Luna, but she dodged he punch and Luna kicks Nuke in the knee, causing him to stubble back and recovered from the attack and punches Luna in the chest.

"That all you got tough guy?" Luna challenged. Nuke scowled and rushed at her swinging his fists at her several times but Luna dodges before before kicking Nuke in the stomach before punching him right in the nose.

Nuke growls and tries to grab Luna's neck, but Luna dodged the grab and hits Nuke in the back with two kicks. "Time to finish this." Luna said.

Nuke gets up slowly and let's out a growl. "That little." He starts saying. He turns around only to get hit with a jumping knee to the face causing him to crash into a shipping container knocking him out cold.

Willy is swinging his cane to whack Luan but she kept dodging the swipes. "Hold still you muted teen!" Willy shouted, but Luan signed something to Willy and he gasped. "I'm going to chop off your hands!"

"Ok I gotta think of something." Luan thought to herself. "Wasn't expecting Willy to know sign." She ducked under his cane again. "But I'll worry about that later." She quickly signs something to Willy who gasps.

"My word what foul language." Willy gasped. Luan looked at him confused before realizing what she accidentally signed before repeating the last part. "Oh yes that makes more sense."

Willy swings his cane again, but Luan dodged the attack and kicks Willy in the chest and shoots her blaster at Willy, but it wasn't enough to knock Willy down. "Is that all you got? " Willy asked.

Luan signs something to Willy. "Well if you have a trick up your sleeve then use it!" Willy challenged.

Luan threw two punches at Willy, but he quickly recovered from the attack and hits Luan in the gut with his cane. Luan then elbows Willy in the gut and knees him in the face.

"He's quick." Luan thought. "He's also unorthodox with how he fights. Gotta think of something."

"It's a shame I won't hear you say your final words because you are a mute." Willy said as he got ready to swing his cane again.

However as he swung the can again, Luan kicks his hand knocking the cane out of it before hitting Willy with a left hook.

Willy recovered from the attack and put up his fists. "Put 'em up!" Willy said as she and Willy both exchanged punches and kicks.

"Ok I got his cane out of his hands. I need to take him down." Luan thought.

"I'm impressed Miss. Loud." Willy said. "You're quite skilled in fighting." Luan signs back at him. "Well yes I'm not just a cane fighter."

"Go figure. I need to end this quick." Luan thought.

She avoids the attacks until she sees something out of the corner of her eye. Realizing what it is she immediately dives on it. She hears running from behind and she looks to see Willy charging at her.

"Any last words you wish to sign?" Willy shouted. Luan holds up a finger. "Just one." Once he's close Luan turns around with a blaster in hand. She then signs with her hands while holding the blaster. "Ah yes you got me." She then blasts him knocking him out.

Luan smiled lightly at the defeated madman. "That take cares of that nut job." Luan thought. But she hears an explosion and sees Firecracker getting thrown to a wall.

But Firecracker gets back up and flies towards Dr. X. "I'm still standing!" Firecracker shouted.

"Then you can die standing!" X retorted. He grabs Firecracker's arm as he flew up to him and swings him around until he sends him flying into Lincoln X.

The two collided in the air and landed on the ground. "Got any idea how to take this clown down?" Lincoln X asked.

"Sadly no, what about you?" Firecracker asked.

"Nothing." Lincoln X responded. "Perhaps we should try working together like we did last time."

"I'm with you on that." Firecracker agreed.

"Then let's get him." Lincoln X says.

"Yeah, I'll hit him high, you hit him low." Firecracker said.

"Sounds good to me." Firecracker says. The two then charged at him.

Meanwhile, Lori was still battling Johnny as her cane clashed with the pipe he was swinging at her.

"How did you get this good?" Johnny growled.

"I had to adjusted with my blindness." Lori explained. "Lots of training for my hearing and being aware of my surroundings."

"Well maybe I should've just crippled you instead then I wouldn't have this problem." Johnny growled.

"Then you haven't seen my sister's wheelchair." Lori smirked. "While I haven't seen it either, I can hear the modifications Lisa made to it."

"I seen them and I think they're overkill." Johnny said.

"They're not all bad." Lori said.

"But I'll tell you this. When I'm done with you I'm gonna tear up your sister's wheelchair." Johnny threatened.

"How about we tear you apart!?" Lynn said right behind Johnny.

"I got this Lynn!" Lori said.

"Fine." Lynn said before flying off again to deal with the Terror Crew gang members.

"I will not allow you to threaten my sister." Lori said. She gets into a fighting stance. "Let's finish this."

"I couldn't agree more." said Johnny as he gotten into a fighting stance.

Lori and Johnny charge towards each other. Johnny swings his pipe at Lori who successfully dodges it after hearing the faint breeze coming out of it because of the motion of the pipe and whacks Johnny in the side of the head with her cane.

Johnny swigs his pipe at Lori again, but she managed to dodge the pipe. Lori even swings her cane at Johnny's face again and whacks him again on the side of his chest and then hits him in the knee. Then Lori jabs her cane at Johnny's chest causing him to stumble back a bit.

"Give up Johnny." Lori ordered. Johnny just scowls at her.

"No chance." He growled. Lori sighs and leaps up where she hits Johnny right in the head with a hard kick knocking him down and knocking him out.

"My sight has been avenged." Lori says. She hears several footsteps running up and stopping all around her as well as guns being prepared to shoot at her.

"We're gonna avenge the boss!" One of the Terror Crew gang members says. However before they can do anything Lori hears several blaster bolts being fired and several bodies dropping.

"Leni, Lola and Lana. Glad you could make it." Lori said with a smile.

"We didn't miss anything." Leni said.

"We never miss a Terror Cree smack down." Lana said.

"Hmm. I see we have more company." Tetherby comments from where he was standing by his limo. "Hello prosecutor."

"Andrew Tetherby." Leni scowled as she aimed her blaster at him. "You're gonna face punishment at the highest extent for your crimes."

"I get that lot from everyone who double cross me and send them to their graves." Tetherby said. "Shouldn't you be at the mall instead?"

"I haven't been to the mall since our parents died." Leni says. "And the reason for that is because of criminals like you. You've been dodging justice for years. However this time you won't be getting away."

"Your words mean nothing to me young lady." Tetherby said. "I'm not going to rot in prison and you got nothing to convince the jury."

Leni however just smirked. "That's where you're wrong." She says. "Lucy." Lucy then appears next to Leni.

"Yes?" Lucy said. Her shirt was ripped a little from fighting members of the Terror Crew's gang.

"How many people have witnessed crimes that Andrew Tetherby has committed?" Leni asked.

"At least twenty." Lucy responded.

"And how much evidence have we collected that connected Tetherby to certain crimes?" Leni asked again.

"According to Lisa, a lot." Lucy said before aiming her blaster behind her and shoot a gang member that was trying to sneak up behind them.

"Your research would be pointless, not only I'll be out o the court, innocent as always and you two will be found dead." Tetherby said as he took out his gun.

However the gun in his hand explodes followed by Dr. X crashing next to him.

"Sorry Tetherby." Firecracker said as he and Lincoln X approached them. "You won't be doing any of that."

"You see I personally made so anyone associated with you won't be involved in the court case which includes the judges." Leni told him. "In fact the judges that have released your associates have been removed from their positions and been arrested. Furthermore several of your enforcers have also been arrested which is one of the reasons the police aren't here so you will not be intimidating any witnesses or jurors. In fact no jury will be physically in the courtroom during your trial as to keep their identities safe from you." They're then joined by the rest of their sisters.

"With that said, Andrew Tetherby and Dr. X you two are under arrest for several counts of murder, robbery, intimidation of witnesses, illegal use of firearms, distribution of drugs and weapons, and invasion of another universe." Lori told them. "You have the right to remain silent as anything you say can be held against in a court of law. If you don't have an attorney one will be provided to you."

"Sir it seems like there's no way out." Dr. X says. Just as he says that a blue wormhole opens up behind them. Tetherby and X turn around an inspect it.

"Interesting." Tetherby said. "Doctor what is this?"

"A Multiverse Wormhole." Dr. X answers. "It seems like an ally is assisting us sir."

"Then who are we to deny them?" Tetherby responded before turning to the shocked Louds. "Farewell detectives. You have failed to stop us once again." He and X then step through the portal.

"No!" Firecracker shouted as he dived towards the portal only for it to close once he got close. "Damn it."

"They got away!" Lana groaned.

"All that hard work and for nothing!" Leni growled in anger.

"They could be anyway in the multiverse at this point." said Lisa.

"No." Firecracker said. "I know exactly where they are. And if I'm right then I need to get home sooner than later."

"Agreed." Lori said. "It's thanks to you we got the Terror Crew. Now it's time we focus on getting you home." She turns to Lisa. "Lis, how long we got?" Lisa thinks about it, pulls out a pad a paper before adjusting her glasses.

"Based off of when we believe alternate Lincoln arrived, I'd say we have about twenty hours before our universe goes into chaos." Lisa says.

"Then we don't have time to waste." Lori said. "Lucy, Lana and Lola go with Luan and prepare the Terror Crew for police transport."

"You got it!" The twins and Lucy said as the walked towards the knocked out Terror crew.

"I just hope my sisters are alright." Firecracker said.

He feels a hand on his shoulder and turns to see Lincoln X. "Don't worry." He assured the pyro. "If they're anything like you, I'm sure they'll be fine and will do everything they can to get home. C'mon, Lisa thinks she still has Dr. X's blueprints for Multiverse Wormhole Generator from when we raided his hideout."

"Ok sounds good. You think she can build a portal within 24 hours?" Firecracker asked.

"She sure can. She built some of our gear within a day." Lincoln X replied as the two walked away from the crime scene.

Soothsayer sat in the base in silence with Mr. Cuddles beside him. Petty and Tongri were outside keeping watch. They hear sounds coming from outside the door. The two look up and see Ronnie Anne, Bobby and Sam pulling into the base.

"Soothsayer we got a problem." Ronnie Anne said. Soothsayer gets to his feet.

"I'm aware of our problem." Soothsayer said seriously. "However do tell me what we know."

"The Louds have disappeared without a trace." Ronnie Anne tells him. "Stuart apparently sent them into the Multiverse as a way to get rid of them."

"So it seems." Mr. Cuddles said. "But why would he send the Louds across the multiverse? It doesn't make much sense?"

"Maybe's he's making another Vector and wanted to get rid of the Louds?" Bobby replied.

"I doubt that." Sam stated.

Soothsayer strokes his beard when he remembered his vision. "Wait. The three of you are here but the Louds are nowhere to be found." He says. "My vision is coming to fruition."

"Your vision?" Bobby asked. "What vision?"

The Louds disappear off the face of the Earth, leaving you three the only members of the L-Crew left." Soothsayer explained.

"It also doesn't show any of our allies which means they're either not there or just gone." Mr. Cuddles said. "This is not good. Not good at all."

"So what do we do?" Sam asked. "We have less than twenty-four hours to stop Stuart and get the Louds back. That doesn't give us a lot of time."

"Gather our allies and kick Stuart's ass!" Ronnie Anne said.

"We don't have time to wait for them." Bobby said.

"Soothsayer can fill them in on the details." Ronnie Anne said.

They hear a motorcycle engine in the distance. They look back to the entrance and see Ryker pulling into the base with Petty and Tongri following him.

"Howdy." Ryker said as he got off his bike. "Was in the neighborhood and thought I'd pop by."

"Hey Ryker." Bobby said with everyone else voicing a greeting. Ryker narrows his eyes and scans the area.

"Seems y'all are short some people." He commented. "Where are the Louds?" Everyone looks at each other before Ronnie Anne sighs.

"Missing." She replied. "They got trapped in this wormhole thing and we don't know where it sent them. All we know is that we got less than twenty-four hours to get them back or else the Multiverse will go into chaos." Ryker takes the time to process the info before flicking his hat up a little.

"Well then it sounds like y'all could use some help." He says. "Count me in."

"Seriously? You'll help?" Sam said excitedly. Ryker nods. "Awesome! You rock dude!" Ryker simply tips his hat.

"While this is all fine and dandy, we're still not good yet." Mr. Cuddles pointed out. "While Ryker is good with a gun, I don't think we got enough power on our side. We need more fire power." This gave Ronnie Anne an idea.

"How about some ice power?" She suggests. "Soothsayer, take us to Australia. It's time to save the Multiverse!"

At an abandoned facility, Stuart was typing rapidly on the terminal for the Wormhole Generator.

"Did it work?" Xander asks from a few feet away.

"I'm not sure to be perfectly honest." Stuart answered. "Sending someone away is easier then bringing someone here. I don't know how we're supposed to bring large quantities here."

"Then perhaps I could be of some assistance." A voice said from the shadows. Everyone turns to the source of the voice and see a figure step out of the shadows. Dr. X.

"Dr. X." Xander said as he shook the scaled doctor's hand. "Good to see you mate."

"Good to see you again Xander." Dr. X said. "I see some things changed since my last visit."

"Yeah, we had to change locations." Xander said.

"Dr. X." Stuart said. "Seeing that you're here means that it worked."

"Indeed it did my friend." Dr. X confirmed. "But that's not why I'm here. I'm here to provide assistance."

"Why be my guest." Stuart said. Dr. X walks up to the terminal and looks it over.

"I see." Dr. X says after a few seconds. "This is quite ambitious indeed."

"Can it be done through?" Helios asks.

"Yes it can, with my assistance." Dr. X said.

"Well then, be my guest." Stuart said motioning to the terminal.

"It'll be my pleasure." X said as he got to work.

At Tetherby Industries, Tetherby sat in his office watching the news when his intercom goes off.

"Sir you have a visitor." His secretary tells him. Tetherby turns off the news.

"Send him up." He says simply. Seconds later the door to his office opens to reveal Tetherby X. Andrew stands up and approached his double with Tetherby X doing the same. Once the two are in front of each other, they shake hands. "Finally, someone I can have an intelligent conversation with."

"So you must be the other copy Dr. X told me about." Tetherby X said.

"You know Dr. X?" Tetherby asked.

"I'm the guy who keeps him out of jail." Tetherby X replied.

"I see." Tetherby says. "He's been a great help to me in the short times he's been here. But now it's time for a change."

"Yes, he's here To help you plans." Tetherby X said.

"No. Not my plans." Tetherby said. "Our plans. So are you ready to conquer the Multiverse?"

"Of course." Tetherby X responded.

"Excellent. The rest of our associates should be arriving soon. And when they do, the Multiverse is ours for the taking." Tetherby said.

"Well I can't wait to meet them." Tetherby X said with a smile forming on his face.

To be continued.

Zachlor16: Hey guys. Welcome to part one of the Multiverse War. So first off, don't suggest universes because we already have all the universes planned out. We've been planning this for two years so we're set. Also I'm saying this right now. We're not doing either Genderbent universes. The reason is that the Genderbent universes have been done to death. Hell we literally have a two parter where we have the evil Genderbents invading. As for the good Genderbent universe, we felt like that's been done to death. Hell Smoke has a Genderbent version of this fic. So we decided to not do those. Also we ain't doing Ace Savvy. Main reason is, we didn't want to. I don't think we'll get the next chapter out before the end of the year. So this will be the last chapter of the year. Thanks for the support you guys gave us we really appreciate you all. So happy holidays and happy new year and we'll see you in 2022.

Smoke: Yeah and I like to throw in that no we will not be doing universes that involve Loudcest. We don't do that here. Anyway please read, review, stay safe and see you all in 2022!
