18 (The Finale)
As Lana whisked and jumped through the forest at high speeds, the sight of a large mansion soon came into view. Bingo! She had discovered Xinn's hideout (with the help of Lisa of course). During Lana's speedy rush to her destination, bullets were shot at her almost immediately after getting closer to the mansion.
"Crud! She must have planted camera's in the woods. No matter, I'll just dodge everything and continue with my most important mission of all!" Lana said as she pushed on through the onslaught of bullets being shot at the Loud.
As she made her approach, Omega watched from the balcony, a nervous look on his pale face as he called his boss in a panic.
"Xinn? Are you there?" he asked?
"What is it? Is there a situation at hand?" Xinn replied in an annoyed manner.
"Uhh... It's about the frog girl. She's advancing faster than we thought even with the barrage of bullets at her. What do I do?! She'll get here too soon!" cried Omega in distress. Xinn sighed and she began to think of a plan to stall Lana even further.
"Just tell the henchmen to aim better. As long as you keep Lana at bay, we'll be good as gold!" Xinn triumphantly said as she continued her mad dash into town. As the two talked, Omega looked at Xinn's desk and saw her normal gun was still there but instead she took the "Capture Ray" which put him in a ray of confusion.
"Pardon me, ma'am. But why did you take that? That doesn't kill people," he said.
"I know that. This gun was made for transporting certain cargo, whenever they're large weapons or some simple yet highly illegal drugs. What it does is whatever is shot by this, is turned into a small cube of energy. It looks like a large sugar cube but its really the precious cargo, when where I'm going has a ton of precious cargo," Xinn ominously said before she hanged up on her crow-like henchman.
"I hope she knows what she's doing," Omega worryingly said. "Those Louds may not be mutants, but they're tough for normal humans."
As Omega worried and continued to spy on the cameras, an alert popped up saying Lana had somehow made it past the bullet storm and was two minutes away from the mansion. He sighed, taking a seat down in a chair and watched some more.
"If Lana truly is getting here earlier than we thought, then I'll give her a fine damn show. I'll make Madam Xinn proud with what I'll do next!" Omega proudly said, an evil grin on his face.
- With Lana -
Unstoppable! That's how this frog girl felt! She was like an indestructible force of nature that wouldn't let anything get in her way! She dove and leaped off of the trees like a graceful swan, every single bullet missing her like she was gifted with plot armor!
"Woohoo! Aim and shoot all you want, you'll never hit me! These guys are like stormtroopers!" Lana taunted, soon getting the entrance of the mansion and kicking the door open to get greeted with even more guards.
She sighed before quickly generating some poison blades and jumped high into the air and started to rain down a ton of smaller blades to try and take down the mercenaries as quick as possible. Lana was instantly fired upon but not before her barrage of blades struck down a bunch of the gunmen down, only leaving five standing.
"What are you waiting for?! Shoot!" said one of the gunmen as they opened fire on the mutant. She started hopping off of the walls, taking out a few with every loop she did around the guards. While they did manage to land a few bullets on her legs, she was able to take them out.
"Alright! Who's next? Because I'll gladly take you on! This is like a warmup to me!" Lana yelled out, wanting more baddies to fight. Yet, even though Lana waited for a good short while...
More enemies never came. This for some odd reason unsettled Lana right to the core.
Yeah, there would eventually be no more bad guys to fight but to have beaten them all this quickly? Something suspicious was afoot, and Lana didn't like it one bit. The mutant hero started walking towards the steps, thinking that would most likely lead her to Xinn.
- Royal Woods -
Xinn had made it to Lana's neighborhood as fast as she could. When she had entered, she couldn't help but slow her pace down to a simple and calm walk.
"It's been so long... I can't believe it's been ten years since I left this neighborhood," said Xinn. "It makes me almost nostalgic about the times I would play with my friends, watch TV every Saturday, and just live life as a kid. Oh, how I wish I could travel back to the good old days where all I worried about was getting my homework done."
The villainess sighed as she soon came across her destination. The one. The only...
The Loud House
She sighed to herself, drawing out her capture gun and began to approach the house. Walking up the steps, she looked into the window, noticing that all the lights were completely dark.
"Perfect," she muttered. "Now to just break-in and do my stuff."
Xinn put her hand on the doorknob and turned it to find out it was unlocked. Oh, this was going to be that easy from what it seemed. She opened the door and walked in, only to hear the gasp of a few people come from the kitchen. Turning her head to the left, she saw that she was spotted by Leni, Lily, and Leni's two kids. They must have gotten up for a snack with Leni tagging along to help them.
"W-who are you?" Lily asked in fear, making Xinn smile.
"Do not worry little one. I'm your new master," she evilly said before shooting the four Louds with her ray, turning them into small white cubes that easily fit in Xinn's pocket.
Suddenly, Xinn turned around and quickly grabbed someone's neck, then raising them into the air. She turned around to find out it was Lynn Sr. who had charged at Xinn with a knife. Childs play is what she thought before snapping the old man's neck before tossing him aside.
"Pathetic. I have no use for an old man. Your kin, however, will do just nicely," Xinn stated before making her way up the stairs. As she entered the hallway that contained the doors to all the bedrooms, she remained quiet, planning out her next move.
"What the hell?! Who are you?!" yelled Luna as she and Luan suddenly came out after hearing the ruckus from downstairs. Xinn blasted Luna, turning her into another small cube while shooting Luan who tried to run away.
"Two down, a few more to go most likely," Xinn said, waiting for more doors to open up.
In only a few more seconds, more doors did open. This time, Lori and Lincoln came out, this time charging at Xinn to attack. This only made her laugh and pull out her gun, to be grabbed from behind and held in place by Lucy who snuck up behind her to make a sneak attack.
"Ack! Get off of me, fatass!" Xinn barked as she struggled against Lucy's grip.
Lucy only held on tighter, giving Xinn a kick in the shin for that remark. Lincoln and Lori went up and started punching Xinn to make sure she wouldn't try anything. This only made Xinn angry and struggle, even more, kicking Lucy hard in the knees which caused the goth to let her go in pain, letting Xinn shoot Lucy and turn her into another small cube.
"Lucy! You bastard!" Lori yelled before throwing another punch at Xinn, which was caught and got Lori slammed into the wall and knocking her out cold. Xinn shot Lori with the ray and turned to Lincoln who stood his ground with his hands up and ready.
"My my, you sure are a brave one. You're Lincoln I assume?" Xinn questioned the nervous Loud as she took a few steps closer to him.
"Why do you ask? Who the hell are you?!" He spoke back in a harsh tone.
"I'm Xinn. Lana's arch-nemesis and your new boss," Xinn spoke evilly before shooting Lincoln as he ran at her once again. "You'll be useful to me in the future."
After Xinn had collected Lincoln, Lori's, and Lucy's cubes, she made her way to the very end of the hallway to the room that had its lights on before one last door opened, revealing Lola walking out wondering what was going on.
"What's going on... O-Oh no..." Lola stammered as she laid eyes on Xinn. "What... are you doing here?"
"Just fulfilling a promise, Lola sweetie. But don't you worry about a thing. I'll take really good care of you," Xinn told Lola before blasting her with the ray gun once again. She went over and collected Lola's cube, then going to Lisa's room and opening it up to find the chubby Loud experimenting on her project once more, now looking close to completion.
"Gah! What in tarnation or you doing here?! Wait... I-It's you!" Lisa exclaimed in fear.
"Oh, you recognize me? it has been a good while, Lisa Loud. It's been a very long while since we worked together five years ago," said Xinn in a hateful tone.
"I-I thought they kicked you out for your awful practices! Your unorthodox way of experiments!" Lisa yelled in fear.
"You are correct, Lisa. But life goes on and things change! I turned into a successful mob boss and you've... become obese," Xinn taunted, making Lisa blush in embarrassment.
"Taunt me all you want, Draco. But I won't surrender to your evil mind," Lisa stated.
"Oh please. You don't have a choice in the matter, Lisa. But I hope you do know that your genius will truly prove helpful in the future," Xinn said before shooting Lisa and her science equipment, turning it into blocks that she put in her pocket.
She had collected everything she needed. Now she needed to burn the evidence...
- Xinn's Mansion-
Lana was currently walking throughout the hallways of Xinn's large abode, looking at every piece of decor and furniture she could find. Everything Xinn owned amazed her! It was as if Xinn had stolen pieces from the gothic novels that Lucy always read. It was so cool yet creepy at the same time.
"For an evil gal like Xinn, she sure has good taste in art," Lana spoke in wonder. "Speaking of Art-"
On the walls were large paintings of what seemed to be Xinn and a few others. However, Lana did not recognize anyone else that appeared alongside Xinn. One of the paintings had Xinn in what appeared to be a white dress, probably a wedding outfit with a man in a tux.
"Was Xinn married to someone? If so, who was it?"
The next one was a portrait of Xinn in normal grey clothing while a large round stomach protruded from her. Lana noticed Xinn was holding her stomach in a soft, almost motherly look as she had a smile on her face.
"I think it's obvious what's going on here. She's pregnant as shown by her giant stomach. Heh. It's odd to think of Xinn as a mom."
Lana walked further down the hallway, coming to the very last painting which almost torn off, only leaving Xinn as the last piece intact. Lana shrugged to herself, not knowing what this was and continued walking by. As she walked down, she came across another staircase leading up to a large door that gave Lana chills for some reason.
She gulped and hopped up the steps, and opened the door. She saw what seemed to be a wide room that also went to a balcony overseeing the entire forest. In front of her was a desk, with a chair turned away from her.
"Uhhh... Hello? Is anyone here?" Lana asked as she walked closer to the desk.
"I'm here", spoke a very familiar voice as the chair turned around to reveal Xinn waiting for Lana. The froggy mutant got into a defensive pose, waiting for Xinn to make her first move.
"I'm finally here for you, Xinn. I'll take you down once and for all!" Lana heroically exclaimed, which Xinn laughed at.
"I have a very difficult time believing that, little tadpole. I'll win no matter what," Xinn said.
Lana curled her hands in rage and threw a poison blade at Xinn, getting her directly in the chest.
She sat there with a shocked look on her face before suddenly poofing into a cloud of dust.
"H-huh?! What the hell?!" Lana yelled in confusion as she heard clapping from behind her.
"Well done. You did it."
The mutant turned around, forming a complete new arm-blade in seconds, and held it up to the strangers face only to see it was Omega with an... suspicious grin on his face.
"You again! You're the hooded freak that Lola fought!" Lana shouted, "What are you doing here and what's going on?!"
"What you just quote on quote, killed, was an illusion that was created by me. That isn't the real Xinn," Omega said.
"I figured that out already. Where's Xinn?!" Lana yelled. Omega just chuckled her anger and slowly pushed Lana's blade away.
"Haven't YOU figured it out yet? You and Xinn agreed last I checked. If you ever tried to attack or stop any crime she commits..."
Lana's heart suddenly sank in fear before Omega could even finish his sentence.
In less than a second, Lana jumped out of the balcony and back into the forest on a mad dash back home. She had forgotten her promise! Xinn would kill her family if Lana dared to breach their agreement and breach she did! She went to Xinn's base in an attempt to kill her!
"Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, this can't be happening!" Lana said in fear as she entered her neighborhood, spotting an orange light in the distance.
As she got closer, she started to see what this orange light was. It was her home completely on fire. Being torched slowly by some unknown source, and when she got close enough, she spotted Xinn waiting at the front of the house.
"Ah! You finally arrived!" Xinn said nonchalantly.
Lana just stood in place, looking at her crumbling home in tears.
"What... Did you do?" Lana asked in tears.
"Isn't it obvious, Little Tadpole? I'm fulfilling my end of the agreement," replied Xinn. "You tried to attack me and so, I attack back. I don't know how else you thought this would end, Lana. I'm a woman of my word and you should be too. If you were, you might still have your family around."
Lana didn't even respond as she fell to her knees and sobbed to herself. She cried for her family, cried for the mistakes she had made, cried for letting her own family down in the end. Xinn couldn't help but sigh at this pitiful sight.
"I hope you know that this wasn't easy for me, Lana. Having your entire family killed in an instant can be the most heartbreaking thing that could ever happen to anyone. Especially a mother." Xinn somberly told Lana. "But I had to do it, Lana. In this business, you need to strike fear and pain into your opponents, no matter what."
"You're a monster... That's all you are..." Lana spoke harshly. Xinn sighed and began to walk away, leaving the mutant to cry by herself.
"Just so you know, I'll be moving my operations elsewhere. It's too dangerous for me to stay in Royal Woods now that you know where my base is. Although, because it would be heartbreaking to end the fun I've had with you, I'll tell you where I'm heading off to."
"W-What? Why on earth... would you tell me that?" Lana asked in confusion.
"Because you'll lose your will to live if I just leave you here. I would kill you now but that would be pushing it, even for me. I want to kill you in battle. Not while you're having an emotional breakdown."
"Go ahead..."
"Alright then. I'm moving my operations down to the Great Lakes City. It'll be easier to take control there than this small town." Xinn spoke before finally leaving. Lana turned around only to see Xinn was gone. Disappeared without a trace.
She slowly stood up and wiped the tears off of her face before hopping away on her own.
Lana wanted to get revenge and Xinn knew it well. Why else would she had been told where Xinn's next location would be at? So while Xinn was packing her things, Lana was going to head off down to Great Lakes City. Unlike Xinn, Lana knew one person that could help her get back on her feet and would have a very good reason to help her.
"Ronnie Anne. You're my only hope now."
(A/N: Well now! How was that for a "Finale"? Did it catch you by surprise? I sure hope it did because I sure have a ton planned for this story! While you may be wondering "What's going on? Why did Xinn have those odd paintings? What is she going to do with the Louds?". All of that will be explained when this story comes back for a Season Two if you will! However, Season Two won't come until a while in the future. I want to focus on other stories right now and maybe get more things for this story in particular. But, you will just need to wait and be patient. But if you're interested, please consider following me and my other stories! I'm sure you'll like them!)
