Summary:
The aftermath of the battle bring some bad things to light.
Monsters out of control, attacking an elementary school and gods fighting them?
It was no surprise new´s helicopters and vans soon arrived at the school followed close by multiple vehicles of ALL the worrying parents hopping that nothing bad happened to their kids.
SCHREEEEESHHHHH!!!!
Including one old beat up van that almost crashed into a news van.
"KIDS! KIDS! WHERE ARE YOU!?" Shouted out the form of Rita Loud as she got out of Vanzilla.
"MOM! over here" called Lori as she approached with Lincoln while Lynn walked by with Lucy, Lana and Lola
"Oh, thank goodness!" Lynn Sr sighed in relief while getting out of the van while Rita rushed over to the kids
"Hey dad it was awesome!!!" Lana exclaimed "the Cretan bull literal ran through my classroom...it was EPIC!!!"
"WHAT!?" Rita yelled out both her and Lynn looking ready to have a heart attack at those words.
"Probably it wouldn't have done that if SOMEONE!!" Lori called looking at Lynn "hadn't provoke it into charging!"
"Hey! he is one of my baddies...he was most certainly looking for round 4 against me" the reincarnation of Hercules said without much a care.
"Somehow I literally think he could care less." Lori said back dryly with an eye roll.
"Please just tell me you got to the shelter after that!" begged their father
"Huff we tried until that one-eyed-brute broke through the hallway" huffed Lola in anger "my best dress ruined!!!" she cried pointing at the dirt-stained cloth she had on.
"One...eyed...brute..." their father said in slow tone looking seconds from having a heart attack
"They mean a cyclops" said Lucy.
"A CYCLOPS!" Both parents shrieked out shrilly with wide eyes.
"Maybe we should stop before they have heart attacks." Lincoln muttered out to his sister's.
"Well...at least the Chimera didn't do any damage" called Lynn not paying attention.
"No, instead is now loose and no one knowns where" added Lucy.
"CHIMERA!" The parents shrieked out again with Lynn Sr adding in. "AND IS LOOSE!" This prove the last straw for him as the father of the Louds fainted and what's more the yell about a Chimera being loose had certainly caught the attention of all the nearby parents and reporters.
"A CHIMERA?!"
"Are they nuts?!!"
"Who thought bringing one of those things to a school was good idea?!!!"
"Are they trying to get us kill?!!"
"THEY ARE TRYING TO SACRIFICE US!!"
"Get the camera this is gold!"
Lori fulminated Lynn with her eyes.
"Heheh....my bad." Lynn said back with a wince knowing she really dropped the ball there.
"There was also a minotaur?!!!" another parent cried after their kids told them about the battle.
"Trolls?!!!" another also cried.
Cries raised as some ambulances began arriving to take some kids that got hurt in the crossfire.
"Way to start a panic Lynn." Lori muttered pinching the bridge of her nose while Lynn gave a wince.
But Lincoln was barely paying attention watching sone stretchers taking some of the students to the ambulances.
"No one was..." He licked his lips nervously as he looked up at his older sister's, "ah... seriously hurt right?" He asked hoping no one got killed
Lori flinched.
"Outside some GODA agents...fortunately no" said the reincarnation of Hera.
"But some do would need a visit to the hospital for sure...at least 10 kids" called a voice as a tall, slim teenage girl, with medium-length red hair; dressed in an Egyptian inspire battle dress and armor approached "just finish the re-count so thought you will like to know" she told to Lori.
"well that's...something…thanks Becky" said the new Hera.
"No problem boss" Becky called back "hey white bunny all ok?" she told Lincoln.
"As fine as it can be right now Babushka" called the white-haired boy.
"Yeah...I was looking up to show you some new moves on today´s exhibition but seems that will be cancel" called Becky back.
"It's okay" Lincoln said looking off at the Chaos, "Not your fault." He assured comfortingly before adding with a mutter, "Still can't believe this all started from Chandler being a jerk."
"What was that?" asked Becky making Lincoln stiff…right...hearing of a lion.
"Eh? nothing...just talking to myself" said Lincoln...he was 50-50 sure about Chandler being responsible for what happened. Sure, he didn't think he would do this on purpose...well...at least he didn't think so this time...but maybe set the cage open by accident with all the lightning show?
However, the others weren't about to let this drop.
"No what was that you said about Chandler Lincoln?" Lori asked with a stern frown staring down at her brother, "if you know something about how all this happened than you need to literally tell us." She added firmly.
"Yes Larry why dont you tell them..how you caused all this?!!!"
Speaking of Chandler.
The reincarnation of Zeus was literal struggling against some nurses that tried to take him to an ambulance to threat the venom...only for the god kid to keep trying to approach Lincoln.
"Excuse me!?" Though the kid was obviously injured, the loud family wasn't about to let one if their own get accused of being to blame for all this "You mind repeating that king ego?" Lynn said punching her fist into her palm.
"You heard me!" Chandler yelled calling more attention on them "Larry was responsible for this incident!!!"
Murmurs began breaking.
"Really McCann?" Jordan called as she approached with her parents behind her "are you so pathetic you will blame Lincoln for all this?" she challenged.
"If anything…" Haiku called also approaching with her own parents "he might be jealous cause while she ran away as coward...Lincoln actually risked his life to put us out of danger"
"What!?" Chandler repeated in a yell of anger and disbelief, "I didn't run away!" He denied while his body gave a slight wince.
"you right" said Haiku "you TRIED to run away only to be smacked around while Lincoln took us and put us to safety"
Chandler scowled while the surrounding people's muttered to each other.
"A god kid running away from monsters?"
"aren't they supposed to be our future protectors?"
"What a coward"
"you think they are telling the truth?
"I think..." A new voice belonging to none other than Principal Higgins spoke up as he walked forward, "we need the full story here." He said firmly.
"Full story?!!!" Called the new Zeus "I'm telling you that white haired freak did something…I saw him talking with the chimera he is in league with the monsters or something!!!" He yelled in a mad way.
This caused looks of shock and disbelief at that accusation to say the least.
"Pffff" Jordan mocked "really? Of all the lies and half-backed excuses that must be the worst" she began laughing "talk to a chimera? Hahahahaha yeah sure" she laughed harder.
This actually caused a few others laugh or snort as well despite the tension in the air.
Chandler, of course, wasn't happy at being laughed at.
"I SAW HIM!!" he cried again feeling some electricity run through her arms "I AGGGG!" he clutched his right arm as he felt on the ground
"That's enough Mr. McCaan!" principal Huggins called "you and I will talk later about you coming here without telling us" he scoffed "also what were you doing fighting monsters without supervision" he added "for now go get that wound fixed!"
"BUAARRG!' Chandler tried to protest only to scream out in pain again.
"ugg...get him out of here!" the reincarnation of Odin ordered the nurses.
"And could someone tell me what REALLY caused all this!?" The principal added in exclamation.
"I want to know that too!" Cheryl Farrell (current principal of Royal wood´s elementary) called in anger being snorted by coach Pacowski and ms Dimartino "I was told the exhibition was going to be safe and no student was going to be in danger!" she called in anger "now I have half school in ruins, dozens of students scare and/or hurt!!" she called sending a stinky eye at the Norse god principal.
Who despite being a godly inheritor and Cheryl a full mortal couldn't stop himself from wincing at her words and look.
"Rest assured that the damages and injured will be taken care of." He said raising a placating hand.
"You better!!" called the woman back "seriously! A Chimera, A minotaur, a Cyclops...I swear the only reason why you didn't bring a hydra or worst is because you haven't captured one!"
Each word caused Higgins to wince buy also scowl because something was most certainly rotten in Valhalla.
"I assure madame none of those creatures were approved for the exhibition." He stated with a steely look causing those in hearing range to share a blink
"excuse principal..what?" Roberto exclaimed "I got a copy of the list..." he said passing him the paper he had with him "it had the approval of both the security council and the Parents Association"
"Let me see that!" Higgins said taking the list and as read over it he scowled with his look darkening, "This isn't the list we approved!" He said looks up with a dark yet worried look.
"We certainly wouldnt approve it!" Rita called in shock "and we have attended those meetings too!"
This led to muttering and looks being exchange around.
"So, wait..." Lynn Jr spoke up with a blink, "Does this mean someone change the list?" She asked with a frown.
"it's a possibility" said Lori "but who literally would want to do so?"
"I must speak with the GODA office about this and see who authorize the transport of the monsters" said Huggins before turning to his fellow principal "rest assure Cheryl I will get to the bottom of this"
"Well I hope so but that doesn't change the fact that a lot of people many of them children ate injured, traumatized, or both!" The woman retorted back with a huff and glare.
More parents joined in also calling for that fact.
"Lori, Lynn take your siblings back home while your father and I try to get some more info" called Rita in anger.
"Literally way ahead of you mom." Lori told her mother while sending her parents a nod.
"As long as you don't try take us in you chariot" Lynn mocked
Lori winced before retorting back.
"I had the right of way!" She called out giving a stubborn huff.
"well..let me one moment" called Lincoln before approaching Jordan and Haiku "seems we have to go"
"Same...my mom will take me home while my dad stays behind" said Jordan.
"My mom will make the PA feel the darkness of the underworld while my dad takes me back to our dark home" said Haiku
"On that note" Haiku´s father called approaching "I must thank you young Loud...for delaying my dark angel her visit the afterlife"
"Ah well I didn't do that much just right place right time." He muttered rubbing back of his head.
"Still thank you Lincoln" called Jordan's mom "we own you for saving our daughters"
Lincoln despite himself found himself smilingly while feeling a tinge of pride this was the first time he has been given attention over his sisters or felt like he accomplished something.
"Yes...he was a hero" said Haiku "and I suppose as such...he deserves this" she said giving him a quick peek in his cheek.
Lincoln eyes went wide at this and his face glowed red made all the worst when Jordan gave a giggle.
"Couldn't agree more" and stepped up to kiss his other cheek.
Ok…that's it...he was death and this was heaven... And as he let out a dopey grin and laugh his family arched brow and shared some smirks.
Not far from them however.
"Hey!" Rusty complained having seen all "we were fighting and beating monsters! why no babe is trying to kiss this sun boy?!" he called with some anger at seeing LINCOLN of all people being kissed by two girls.
"Maybe because he risked his life to save two girls when he didn't have anything to fight those monsters with." Stella pointed out dryly before adding with a frown. "But I think we've all got bigger problems right now."
"What you mean Stella?" Clyde asked as he and Chloe walked in after talking with their own parents (and Clyde getting a bathrobe to cover himself)
"Clyde think about it this entire incident stinks." Stella said with a scowl crossing her arms, "Not only were those monsters acting strange and more deadlier than ever..." she gave the others a serious look, "but the fact that most of them weren't supposed to be in the exhibition in the first place." She gave a worried scowl, "Those facts can't be coincidence."
"You think there is some conspiration?" asked Zach "that all these events are connected somehow?" he said interested.
"I know it seems crazy but this scream set up." Stella said with a shake of her head.
"But why would someone cause all this chaos and out people in danger?" Clyde asked with a frown.
"Well we have to remember that us god kids ain't exactly popular with ALL mortals." Liam pointed out with a frown.
"and you can bet this incident is going to be used as PR against us and monsters alike too." Zach added forming his own scowl.
"Oh, come on guys!" called Rusty "don't tell me you are worry about those fake news about hate groups?" he asked "look at us! we can and we save the day while being awesome!" he exclaimed making a pose "if anything we are about to be showered in praises and fangirls"
While the guys of the group gave hopeful if tentative nods at Rusty word Stella shot him a scowl glaring.
"Those fake hate groups almost killed my mom after I was revealed to be a god kid Rusty!" She snapped causing the boy to freeze.
It was one of the scariest moments in her life and the reason why she was so focus in learning to use her powers in a responsible way...to always be there to protect those that needed so no-one goes through the same.
"If it wasnt for my father who knows what could have happen" Her father became quite worry after she was named a new god...the idea of monsters and the likes suddenly appearing on their house was enough for Mr. Zhau to go all the way to buy a gun...something he used pretty well to save his family until the police and GODA agents arrived. "So believe me Rusty, those kind of people aren't something you should joke about or dismiss." She added with a dark glare.
Rusty gulped and raised his hands in surrender
"Ok...before anyone...mean Stella...kills someone...mean Rusty" called Zack "could it be that someone of those...anti-god groups could have infiltrate wither the security board or the PA? I mean..aren't they the ones that approved which monsters could be brought for the exhibition?"
That suggestion actually caused the kids to freeze.
"That...that would be bad...really bad if they did." Clyde said with a slight freaked out expression especially the former knowing that the security board getting compromised by people who'd like to see him and his friends dead wasn't not an ideal scenario to say the least.
"It is worse they are in the defense or that a father of one of our classmates want us death?" asked Liam
This caused some blinks.
"What you mean by that?" Clyde asked scratching his head while giving Liam a strange look
"you heard Zack...either is inside of the defense forces...or the parents of someone in the Parents association wants us death" he explained "as you said only those two groups could approve any of those beasts"
"Pff come one guys don't you think you're being a bit paranoid." Rusty said with a forced laugh, "I mean if was someone in the parents association that would mean they'd want their own kid dead." He said with a strained grin, "And that's just crazy...right?"
The group looked at each other.
"Well...he does have a point" said Clyde "I mean having a god kid do means you get recognition, a nice bonus at job and even a really good insurance" he added "that's how my family and the Louds have been able to pay any...damage that could come for our powers"
"And the Louds have certainly done a LOT of damage over the years." Liam said with a wary tone shaking his head, "honestly that family breeds more than a family of rabbits." he muttered out.
"And all gods…well...up to Lincoln" said Rusty with a scowl as he looked at the white-haired boy being pulled by one of his sisters as he (in a silly manner) said goodbye to the girls that kissed him.
"Wait that's Lincoln?" Stella question with a blink before looking toward the boy with a curious look "he certainly looks nice." she added before smiling faintly, "brave too considered what he did today."
"huff he probably just hide them under a table or something…nothing like fighting monsters head on" said the new Apollo with jealousy.
He was the god...according to Chandler he is the one who should be getting recognition and fangirls at his feet for fighting these monsters.
So why was Lincoln Loud the one being kissed by two?!
Stella couldn't help but frown at his tone before asking all four of them.
"Well aren't any of you going to say hi before his family leaves?" she asked crossing her arms.
Rusty crossed arms, Zack and Liam looked nervous.
Clyde also didn't seem to want to approach.
"Come on Clyde" called Chloe "it could be a good way to fix things after the fight you told me about"
"Ah..fight...right." Clyde said with a strained laugh while nervously sweating knowing that said fight did not happen and Chloe would not be happy that he lied to her or basically ditched Lincoln.
However, the sweet smile on his girl (still can't believe he has a girl) wasn't something he could say no to.
So, with a groan and not really wanting to do this, he began walking away from his group towards Lincoln and his family (while internally hopping another monster attack to not do this)
"So, you and Haiku?" asked Lucy "I prove it"
"Lucy stop...we're just friends." Lincoln groaned out his face blushing, "And she was only saying thank you."
"yeah spooky leave him alone" said Lynn with a smile "it's obvious he prefer the sporty, braided hair-type" she added with a chuckle.
This just caused Lincoln to put his face into his hand and groan much to the amusement of his sisters however Lucy didn't quite take that kindly to Lynn comment.
"A soul more at home in the darkness is what Lincoln requires in a soul mate." she told Lynn with a slight frown.
"Tch what you know about love spooky" called Lola.
"well I like Haiku..she always have a bat or some crazy animal to show me each time she visits" said Lana.
"Actually, if we're talking about a girl for Lincoln than Boo Boo Bears little sister would be just perfect for him." Lori chimed in with a slight grin
"Ugg Lori dont start with that" called Lincoln "even before getting that stupid hammer Ronnie was a headache to deal with" he called with arms crossed in anger remembering all the bullying that girls made him suffer.
That caused Lori to wince.
"She just has a bit of trouble expressing herself that's all." she told her brother defensively.
"She expresses quite clearly using that hammer in anything that crosses her" huffed Lincoln.
"well...maybe that's why she is a Thor right?" Clyde said calling the Loud´s attention "Brash and easy to anger..right?"
"Clyde?" Lincoln questioned in surprise.
"Eheh...hey Lincoln." Clyde said giving a nervous wave and strain grin toward his childhood friend
"ehh..hey?" he greeted back. "you need something?"
Honestly...what you could say to the friend that simply left you on the dust?
"Maybe a pair of pants so he doesn't look like he just came out the shower" said Lola with a huff noticing Clyde "outfit"
This caused Clyde to give an embarrassed flush as he muttered out, "it's the garb of my god.." He said looking away with a slight frown.
"sigh..yes we know" said Lincoln "Maui the god of winds…the great shapeshifter...hero of humanity...yada yada" drooled the white haired boy "there was already a report of the possible first years team´s for this year tournament...plus I was there to help you practice before the school year" he crossed his arms "and I think that was the last time we ACTUALLY talked"
Clyde winced at those words before paling as his girlfriend Chloe spoke up.
"Yeah, Clyde told me about your fight." She said with a frown causing Lincoln to blink and look toward her.
"Fight?" the loud boy blinked confused.
"yeah how Clyde think he was putting you at risk of monster attacks for being close to him and you got angry cause even when you are not a god you still could take care of yourself" said Chloe "you argue..words were said and you simply stop being friends" she finished. "But Clyde is ready to accept he maybe got over-worry and wants to talk"
Silence stood for several moments before it was broken by Lincoln.
"Wow...just wow..." He said shaking his head in disbelief, "First you basically ditch me and cut off contact with me pretending I don't exist." He said a glare forming on his face as he looked over to Clyde, "And now you're apparently spreading lies like this!"
HISSSSS
Clyde gulped at the sudden anger.
"Lies?" Chloe asked.
"L-look Lincoln" the reincarnation of Maui talked before his girlfriend could ask more "I know you are angry...and I might deserve some of it...but if you could just listen, I'm sure we can talk things out like civilized persons"
"Oh NOW you want to talk?!" Lincoln found himself snapping honestly after the day he had been through he was already at an emotional high and seeing Clyde again after so long only to find out he had been lying about him well to say a lot of hurt and resentment was bubbling to the surface after being held back for longer was an understatement
"You and the others certainly didn't seem interested in talking before no matter how many times I called you or even tried to visit your place!" He snapped glaring at Clyde
Clyde gulped and Chloe looked really confused.
"Hey Loud calm down!" called Rusty approaching "I know you are still sore about your fight but no need to scream like that" he added giving Clyde a quick thumbs up (telling him he had his back).
The new god-shapeshifter gulped.
"y-yeah Lincoln...plus...you know things god...chaotic since I…well...become a god" he said with some truth on the matter.
From obligatory training, to learn all he could about his antecessor, the new school work after getting to the academy...
"Chaotic right..." Lincoln scowl with a frown, "is that what you call being turned away at the door on your birthday present in hand."
"what?!" Called Chloe in shock. "Clyde what is he talking about!?" She asked giving her boyfriend a shocked look because this didn't sound like anything close to what Clyde told her happened
"It was an accident!!" called Clyde "I swear I didn't know GODA would send a security force...you know just in case!" he called "it wasn't until later I found about Lincoln not being allowed to enter!" he turned the white haired boy who seems to be trying to fulminate him with the eyes "I try call you later but you didn't answered!"
"Uh huh..." Lincoln said flatly casting Clyde a doubtful look not exactly buying the story to say the least.
Specially as he remembered (while being handled by a rude cliche black wearing agent) seeing Clyde just some feet away...and he looking back at him but not doing anything.
"You know what Clyde at this point I don't care about your excuses" said the white-haired boy "lie to...I'm sorry what as your name again?" he asked at the girl in white.
"Oh I'm Chloe Curda" The girl said with a nervous expression giving a strained wave "It's ah…nice to meet you." she said feeling a bit awkward and nervous though blinked in surprise when Lincoln shot her a friendly smile.
"Same to you I guess despite...the company you keep." he said causing Chloe to blink again as Lincoln turned his attention to Clyde "Go ahead and lie to her if you want..." Lincoln continued giving Clyde an even look "it will only make things worse when she finds out what kind of person you really are."
"She knows what kind of person he is" called Rusty "he is a GOD someone to look up at and admire...just like me" he added with a pose and winking at Lucy who immediately hid behind Lincoln.
Lincoln expression became murderous (and later those close by would swear they heard snakes hissing)
"Try that with my sister AGAIN and I will make you swallow that bow of yours!!!" roared the Loud boy.
More than one new god felt a chill running through their backs, with Rusty and those closer nearby actually flinching at Lincoln anger.
"Oh..yeah...try it!" Rusty snapped back after giving a nervous stutter telling himself there was no reason to be scared. He was a god and Lincoln was just some loser mortal.
No matter the chill he was getting by only looking at the eyes of the white-haired boy.
Almost looking straight to a predator about to devour him…and did his eyes just flashed red?
"He might not be able to but I do CAN!" called Lynn pushing Lincoln behind her "so you better watch out Spores unless you want a WEEK in Lynn Loud´s EXTREME boot camp!"
"Ah..right...eheh of course.." Rusty said with a nervous gulp remembering the top reason why he couldn't mess with or put Lincoln in his place that being his older godly sisters most of whom could kick his butt.
Although Lincoln huffed not liking his sister acting's if he needed her to step in.
"well...we...we have more important stuff to do that try to talk with someone that is obvious don't want to talk with us" the new Apollo called trying to save face "as in God-related stuff...something he would understand" he added at least getting a jab at the Loud boy.
Only to flinch at not only the dark scowl on the boy's face but also the sound of hissing filling the air.
"Okay seriously where the heck is that hissing coming from?!" He cried out looking around nervously "Are some of the monsters still around or something?"
"We dusted the majority...and can't be the chimera as we would be hearing growls and goat sounds too" added Clyde.
"Thanks for remind us" called Lori "everyone to the van...I will take you home now!" she ordered not wanting for her siblings to be around with that monster still on the loose"
"Ahh come on Lori, I think it would be pretty cool to see a chimera." Lana said with a whine as Lola huffed out.
"Speak for yourself sister that freaky bull was quite enough for me thank you."
With that the diva turned towards their van.
"Agree…although seeing those dark creatures could be a nice experience, I think it will be better to not tempt fate" added Lucy.
Lincoln took a deep breath to calm himself.
"Agree...time to go" he said before looking at the trio of gods "it was...a pleasure to meet you Chloe" he said before fulminating Clyde with his eyes "as for you...hope being a god is worthy betraying those close to you" he said with a snarl before turning around and began walking away "also hope you don't get in trouble for that tattoo!" he called back.
"Wait...TATTOO?!!" called Clyde in shock/fear before looking down opening his robe…and notice he had a new Tattoo representing the cyclops he beat in his chest "WHAT THE HECK?!" Clyde yelled out in shock as he gazed at the tattoo in shock before groaning out, "my dads are going to kill me!"
"Hey but look at the bright side" called Rusty "that certainly will attract girls to you"
However, he and Clyde suddenly got a nervous look as Chloe gave a pointed cough.
"I'm sorry but…you're not suggesting Clyde would cheat on me, would you?" The normal friendly and sweet girl said with a slight glare while trying to not show how much of what just happen bothered her
Clyde couldn't have been lying to her all this time...right?
