20. Return of the 10 Headed Beast

So, I know that it's been a few weeks, but I'm back. Now I didn't really know what I was going to do with this chapter. But I began reading reviews and I got an idea: Why not ask a reader what they want see in a future chapter. So, quick shout out to Yellowpikmin88 for not only giving me the idea for the chapter, but for giving me ideas for the chapter. So I thank him for that. Also, apparently you guys wanted to see this chapter, so here it is.

(Lori's voice) The following is a non-profit fanbase fanfic. Loud House and its characters are all owned by Chris Savino and Nickelodeon. Please support the official release.

Chapter 20

Two days passed since the Louds took Lincoln to the cemetery and for the most part, he seemed to be recovering from the ordeal. While at times he did seem sad, the family kept a close eye on him to make sure that he was ok. Charles and the other pets kept close to Lincoln, taking turns being there for him and comforting him. Within these two days, Cliff, Walt and Geo learned the signs of when they were needed. While the signs hadn't shown, they kept a close eye on Lincoln just in case. Clyde had been assisting the Louds with keeping an eye on Lincoln. The girls asked Clyde if he would hang out with Lincoln for the day so they were currently at the arcade and had been for the past three hours.

"Alright Lincoln, you've beaten me eight times in a row but this time I got you!" Clyde declared. The two of them were playing Alley Fights 4 and Lincoln was surprisingly good at the game considering that this was his very first time playing it.

"Whatever you say Clyde." Lincoln said with a small smile. He was actually having fun hanging out with Clyde. While he did feel sad about visiting his family's graves, this was a nice change of pace. The two boys continued with their game as they had their selected characters for the ninth time with Lincoln's character winning once again.

"Aw man. Lost again." Clyde says shocked. He then turns to Lincoln. "How are you so good at this game?"

Lincoln just shrugged. "Just lucky I guess." Lincoln answered. "But if you must know, Chris's daughter taught me a trick to this type of game. She always told me told me to use certain attacks in moderation to confuse your opponent."

"Wow. She sounds like she knows her stuff." Clyde says impressed. "What was her name?"

"Lyra." Lincoln answered. "She was probably the closest thing I had to an older sister before I moved in with the Louds. She and I spent a lot of time together and we got pretty close in the two months we spent together. I was pretty upset when I had to leave her." Lincoln then turned his head to the window. "But, she would want me to be happy. Especially since I've now have ten sisters." He then let out a chuckle. "I do wonder how anyone would survive with having a house full of ten girls."

"Probably make one heck of T.V. show." Clyde said. The two boys laughed at the thought of a T.V. show about one boy living with ten girls. The two continued to play their game until Clyde got a phone call. "Hello? Oh, hey dad. Oh. Ok. I'll be home soon. Ok. Bye." Clyde then hung up and turned his attention to Lincoln. "Sorry Linc, but I gotta head home. See you around."

"By Clyde." Lincoln called as Clyde left. When Clyde was gone, Lincoln returned his attention back to his game. As he played, he considered calling Lori and see if she would come to pick him up. However, he then remembered that he still didn't have their numbers. And Lincoln was a little embarrassed by this. "Note to self, get the numbers of the Louds girls and Rita and Lynn Sr."

Lincoln continued to play his game when he heard the arcade door open and a bunch of laughing. He then looked towards the door and his face nearly turned as white as his hair. Ten boys walked in and they were people that Lincoln had hoped he would never have to see again. The boys that walked in were Loki, Loni, Luke, Lane, Lyle, Lars, Leif, Lexx, Levi and Leon. As soon as Lincoln saw them, he immediately dove and hid behind the arcade game and hoped that they didn't see him. As he was hiding, Lincoln began to panic. He had hoped that they would have been out of his life forever. As he hid behind the machine he tried to think of a way to get out of the building without the boys noticing him. He then peeked around the corner and saw that the guys were having a food fight, so he knew that they would be distracted for a few minutes, so Lincoln decided to make his move. He quickly made a dash for the door not watching where he is going. As he ran, he suddenly crashed into someone, knocking both himself and the other person.

"Dude, why don't you watch where you're going." said the person.

"Sorry." Lincoln apologized. He then got a good look at the person he bumped into and his heart nearly skipped a beat. The person he had bumped into was Luke.

"Yeah whatever." Luke said. Luke then sat up and saw the person who bumped into him and instantly recognizes him. "Well, well, well. What do we have here? Long time no see Stinkoln."

"H-h-hey Luke." Lincoln said shivering. "W-w-what's n-new?"

"Not much. Just missed my punching bag." Luke told him. "Now I think it's time we got reacquainted with the boys." Luke then grabs Lincoln by the collar and practically drags him to the table his brothers were sitting at. "Hey boys, look who I found!"

The boys turned their attention to their brother and saw him dragging a familiar white-haired boy behind him.

"Hey it's Stinkoln!" Lyle exclaimed.

"What up loser?" Lane asked.

"How's that shoulder, Stink?" Loki asked with a smirk.

"So where have you been?" Lars asked.

"You know, around." Lincoln answered.

"Let me guess, you've hiding and hoping Mommy and Daddy come and pick you up?" Loni said.

"Hate to break it to you, but you are all alone and your parents are dead." Leif told him.

"Yeah, so get over it!" Lexx told him. The boys then saw Lincoln was starting to get tears in his eyes.

"Look guys, we're making him cry!" Levi said with a mocking tone.

The boys continued to laugh at Lincoln. As they laughed, memories started to flood Lincoln's mind. The memories of what they did to him. Everything. Luke and Lyle's beatings that they gave him. The terrible pranks that Lane pulled. Loki chipping his tooth and dislocating his shoulder. The mocking, the beatings, everything. But as he stood there, listening to the boys laugh at him, different memories started flooding his mind. These were all memories of the fun times that he had with the Loud girls. The sleepovers, the trips to the mall, the laughs that they shared everything. He remembered Lori taking him out to get new Ace Savvy comics, Leni fixing some of his old clothes, Luna singing to him, Luan getting him the Ace Savvy comic and working hard to make him laugh, playing with Lynn, writing poems with Lucy, drawing with the twins, saving Lisa from her lab explosions and playing peekaboo with Lily. All the good memories started attacking the bad memories and that gave him courage.

"You know guys; there is something that I have been meaning to tell you." Lincoln said with confidence. The boys stopped laughing and stared at Lincoln with curiosity.

"Oh really? What is it?" Loki asked.

"Well, boys there is something that I've been wanting to say to you for a while." Lincoln said. "And well here it goes. You guys are…." As Lincoln starts shouting at him, a blender is heard in the background as Lincoln is shouting at his former brothers. After a few seconds the blender turns off and we see Lincoln panting heavily. The boys stand there with their jaws dropped in shock. However, the looks of shock quickly turned into looks of rage.

Lyle takes a deep breath and cracks his knuckles. "Lincoln, we are going to break you in half." The boys start to advance on Lincoln and this causes him to panic. And he then gets an idea.

"Hey look over there! Girls!" Lincoln shouts. The boys look to where Lincoln is pointing and Lincoln takes the time to make a break for it. After the boys see that Lincoln is gone they exit the arcade and start chasing him.

Lincoln turns his head and sees the boys chasing after him. He pushes his way past the people trying to escape his former brothers. As he is running, he tries to think of a way of escaping them. As he turns a corner he sees the park and makes his way towards it. As he runs through the park he turns to see his former brothers entering the park not far behind him. He then pushes onward and he crashes into someone.

"Lincoln, what's the rush?" Lincoln looks up and sees Luna standing in front of him with the other girls standing behind her.

Lincoln then hides behind Luna. "Guys, you have to get me out of here!" Lincoln shouts.

"Why?" Lynn asks.

"My former brothers are trying to beat me up." Lincoln answered quickly.

"Well, where are they?" Lori asks.

"Right there." Lincoln asks. The girls look over to where Lincoln pointed and see ten boys running up to them.

"Sup ladies. Mind handing over our brother?" Loni asks.

"Ok. Here." Leni says. She then pushes Lincoln in front of them.

"Thanks." Loki says.

"Leni! Those are the boys that made Lincoln's life miserable!" Lynn shouts.

"Oh. Wait. Hey! Get away from Linky!" Leni shouts pulling Lincoln back into the group.

"So you are the punks that bullied our brother when he lived with you!" Luna shouts.

"You meanies!" Lola shouts.

"Go pick on someone else!" Lana adds.

"Yeah, go brother someone else." Luan yelled and then chuckled at her own pun.

"Look, all we want is our brother back so we can give him exactly what he deserves." Luke said. "So why don't you girls take your little freak show and go on home and play dress up and barbies and have a tea party." The boys then laugh. However, the girls were not as happy. They were livid. And it didn't help that they called them freaks.

"Did he…?" Lola started.

"Call us freaks?" Lucy finished.

The girls exchanged looks and looked at Lincoln who was still hiding behind Luna. The girls then stared at the boys in front of them and Lisa then made her way to the front of the Loud girls.

"Normally I don't care for these types of emotions but," Lisa started with usual monotone which then turned angry. "GET EM!"

The girls then charged forward and attacked the boys who were all shocked that the girls charged forward and attacked the boys forming a massive fight cloud with the girls beating the daylight out of the boys. Lincoln not wanting to see his new found sisters get hurt, ran up to the fight cloud and tried to find a way to help. He looked in and saw the girls really laying it in to the boys. Lincoln saw Luna pounding Luke but Luke was starting to get the upper hand. So Lincoln takes a few steps back and jumps into the fight cloud and jumps on Luke and pulled him off Luna. After a few minutes of brawling and fighting, the cloud dissipated and the boys ran out the park bruised and scraped.

"And stay away from our brothers!" Lola shouted as the boys ran. The girls turned their attention to Lincoln who was staring at his sisters with admiration.

"You alright Linc?" Luan asked while the girls looked him over for injuries.

"Yeah. Are you guys alright?" Lincoln asked.

"Don't worry Lincoln. We're fine." Lori told him.

"Yeah dude. Don't worry. We're just happy you're safe." Luna told him.

"Thanks." Lincoln said with a smile. The girls then engulfed Lincoln in a group hug with smiles on their faces. The girls happy that their foster brother was safe and Lincoln smiling knowing that he will never have to deal with his former brothers again.

Well I hope you enjoyed this. Please review and I will see you next time.
