Here's the next chapter, enjoy.

In a metropolis city park.

Lincoln and Lynn Loud were walking through the park. Lincoln was still in his suit, but he was wearing normal clothes over it, an orange hoodie with black pants. They passed by a man giving a speech to a crowd. He was an elderly man in a simple but also very well-made Deep Taupe suit and blue-grey shoes.

Behind him was a poster of his face with the words, "Vote for Mayor Marien Grags" in bold lettering on the front.

Mayor Grags: I was once mayor of Great Lake City, but now I am the mayor of Royal Lakes City. When Royal Woods' economy plummeted after a family of Mutants was burned to the ground in their home like witches in the late 1600s. Trade deals were canceled and travelers took extra measures to avoid passing through the town. Royal Woods couldn't stay on its feet, people lost their jobs and it became a ghost town! While this happened, Great Lakes City prospered!

[For context, while Royal Woods was Anti-Mutant. Great Lakes City was Pro-Mutant.]

Mayor Grags: Until I offered to fuse take in Royal Wood's land to make, Royal Lakes! A city for the people, Mutants and Humans alike can live in peace! But of course, some people refuse to accept Mutants, shops still have their doors closed their doors to Mutants. But we can just leave them be, but let them learn the same thing that Royal Woods learned when they did this! But vote for me again, and I will promise fair treatment for everyone!

The crowd cheered for the Mayor's speech. Lynn and Lincoln began to leave the park.

Lynn: The guy spouts a lot of promises.

Lincoln: It's just for PR most likely. Whether he keeps them is up to him.

[People seemed to agree with him. Glad to see some form of progress.]

Lynn: So any ideas on where to stay? I ain't helping you kill bad guys until we find a place to sleep.

[That's fair.]

Lincoln: Don't worry, I think I have an idea.

Lynn: Is it a plan or just an idea? Cause your plans normally end up with you smeared across the pavement.

Lincoln: [Fuck You.]

*****

In the large metropolis located near the park. there was a four-story yellow-brick building bounded on three sides by streets, one of which carries an above-ground rail viaduct. Its house number is 148. The building contains a rooftop and a basement, and in "Fool Me Twice", it is implied that the building is old enough to have used asbestos as part of the building's construction. There is a large retro-styled sign on the corner that says, "Casagrande Market", with an arrow underneath pointing to the front entrance to the Mercado.

There was also a sign in the store window that read, "Now Offering Apartments". Inside the market, a Mexican-American girl with dark tan skin, black hair worn in a low ponytail, freckles on her cheeks, and two buck teeth that stick out of her mouth. She wears a purple sweater, pale lavender short shorts, and lavender flats with white socks worn high.

She had a nametag that read, "Ronnie Anne". She heard the doorbell ring.

Ronnie Anne: (not even looking up) Welcome to Casagrande Market, please take a look at our products that both Normies and Mutants alike can afford and buy. As well as, our affordable apartments.

[Normies is slang for normal humans.]

Lincoln: One room for two mutants, please.

Ronnie Anne recognized that voice and looked up, seeing Lynn and Lincoln.

Ronnie Anne: Lynn, Stink-coln?!

Lincoln: (pulls a gun) It's Lincoln and you know it.

Lynn: Calm down, Stink-coln.

*SNIKT!!!*

Lynn looked down to see Lincoln had stuck a knife in her side.

Ronnie Anne: Holy!

Lynn: Rude.

Lynn pulled the knife out and her wound healed instantly.

Ronnie Anne: Woah... You heal pretty fast...

Lynn: Yeah, 

Lynn then took the knife and stabbed Lincoln in the face.

Lincoln: Fair.

Ronnie Anne: So you both can just heal from stuff like that... So what's with the mask?

[What?! Oh, sorry, I was just thinking of that awful Dream song.]

Lynn: You remember Principal Huggins? He threw acid in Lincoln's face when our house was burnt down. Made Lincoln look like a testicle with teeth.

Ronnie Anne: Then why didn't he heal?

Lincoln: Two reasons. One. It was a fluoroantimonic acid. A super-acid basically. Melted and burnt my face at the atomic level. Two. My mutant powers were triggered only after my face was horribly and irreversibly disfigured. As a bonus, however, I can't feel my face, so I don't even feel this knife in my head. Speaking of. Wanna see it?

Ronnie Anne: What? Wait! No!

Lincoln showed Ronnie Anne his gross face and she gagged, grabbing a nearby trash bin and puking into it.

Lynn: You gotta stop doing that.

Lincoln: [No.]

[Maybe.]

[No.]

Ronnie Anne raised her head and wiped her mouth. Lincoln pulled the out of his head.

Ronnie Anne: Try to keep that stabbing stuff to a minimum.

Lincoln: I won't make a promise I can't keep.

[Honestly, you two stab each other too much.]

[I think it's a healthy amount of stabbing.]

Ronnie Anne rolled her eyes, reaching behind her to a wall of keys, and tossed Lincoln a key. Who tossed her a roll of twenty dollar bills.

Ronnie Anne: Your room is on the third floor. Number 304. Don't break it Stink-coln.

[Fire!]

*BANG!!!*

Ronnie Anne ducked under the counter as Lincoln shot at her. Would've hit her head dead on had she not ducked.

Ronnie Anne: Sorry, it's a force of habit! (Lincoln leaves) Lynn... Just how crazy is he?

Lynn: There is not a word to describe how crazy he is.

Ronnie Anne: You're... Normally not this calm... You're really chill actually.

Lynn: Kinda have to be since when I'm angry or riled up. (clenches fists and shows her claws) This happens.

Lincoln: (from the stairs) Lynn! Get the lead to claw out of your ass and come on! 

Lynn: I'm Coming!

Lincoln: (from the stairs) HAHAHAHA!!!

[She said, coming! Hahaha!]

Lynn retracts her claws and follows after Lincoln. Ronnie Anne returned to her magazine, glancing at the knife and bullet hole the two left behind.

Ronnie Anne: This is what sucks about being a Normie. Can't do any cool shit.

*****

Lincoln and Lynn approached Apartment Number 304, unlocked the door, and entered a basic living room.

Lincoln: There? See?

Lynn: Kinda small.

Lincoln: Quit your bitching, Ronnie lived like this for three seasons of her show with a full family.

The two heard cheering outside, looking out the window, they saw the mayor on a float leading a parade.

[Looks like he went all out on his election campaign.]

Lynn: Putting the mayor's campaign aside, what's the plan?

Lincoln: Well we know Huggins was going to this town, but problem is, we don't know where he was going. Either he was planning on meeting someone here or he was going to attack another mutant's home.

[The mind of an Anti-Mutant Normie is Hard to understand.]

[Yeah, but we'll kill them all the same.]

Lynn: That's fair I guess. Well, I'm gonna take a nap. Wake me when you find something.

Lynn left the room and Lincoln turned on the TV then took out his phone. It was the news and they were covering the parade happening outside.

Newswoman: As you can see here folks, the mayor is really going all out for his election campaign!

Newsman: That's right and after Mayor Grags' "Rights For All Mutants" speech earlier today is really hitting the box office. Already, his vote percentage is 80 percent!

Newswoman: I think this year's election will be a complete landslide!

Lincoln turned the volume down to 0 when he found an app that caught his attention.

Lincoln: The Wanted App... Find high-ranking well-paying bounties in the palm of your hand with this new inventive app that lists wanted criminals and dangerous people... Be sure to send us a video of you and the wanted person to verify your catch. Made by Prower Industries.

Lincoln then says in the pictures showing the app that he and another person were on the app with high bounties.

[Oh cool! We're on here!]

[That's not a good thing!]

After about an hour of searching online for leads, Lincoln was taking a break from boredom. Making himself pancakes for some reason.

Lincoln: I love the smell of pancakes in the morning.

[It's the afternoon.]

About more than twenty boxes of pancake mix later, Lincoln had filled the kitchen to the roof with pancakes.

Lincoln: Smells like... Victory! Hahaha!

[We're not going to eat all this are we?]

[Lynn might. Her metabolism is through the roof after a few goods stabs! hehehe!]

In the bathroom, Lincoln was wasting his face, upon looking up he saw his face despite still wearing his mask.

[Fuck!]

[Ah, christ!]

[Ah! What is that!?]

[Oh, wait... That's us... Gah! Christ! That's even worse!]

Lincoln: Why would anyone want to see that? Why do you think I wear the mask?

[Hopefully, we don't reference Dream's awful song.]

[Nah, Lance1889 hates Dream's content after the Manhunt videos.]

Later, Lincoln was on a computer in the guest bedroom, which was his room.

Lincoln: You know why I love the internet? Because it's just like me!

[Volgar, combative, and contradictory?]

[Overflowing with perversion and stupidity?]

Lincoln: Yes, and yes.

Lincoln moved onto the laundry room, starting to clean his spare costumes.

Lincoln: Shit, I think I forgot to add the fabric softener. Spare uniforms gonna be all itchy. Hate an itchy ass... And itchy balls!

*****

Elsewhere, inside a circular building with two large towers.

Inside the CEO's office, a man sitting in the light and two people sitting in the darkness were watching.

Newsman: Looks like his elective rival, Prower Industries' CEO, Mike Prower, won't have his chance to shine in the spotlight as Mayor of this fine city- 

The man turned off the tv. He was a young-looking old man with white hair and a bulky build. And he wore a simple brown shirt, black suit, pants, and shoes.

Mike: As you, two can see, because of Grags, I can't purge this city of mutants. So I'm hiring you two, two people on my new Wanted App.

Man's Voice: Surprising you have us on there.

Woman's Voice: Yeah, we're not even criminals on government files.

Mike: But you are mercenaries. What I want you two to do is simple. Attack Grags, and put some fear into the public so they'll be more... Inclined to vote for me. I'll pay two million now, with another two million when the job is done.

Man's Voice: Deal.

Mike places a suitcase on the counter, and the woman took the case, checking it to see it was full of 100 dollar bills.

Woman's Voice: See you then. Pleasure doing business.

Mike smiled as the two left, he then got a call.

Mike: (picks up the phone) Yes? What?! Huggins is dead!? Did you find his body? What about the belt...? It's missing?! Well, find it! I did not pay 500 grand for his prison bail for nothing!

Mike slammed the phone down and growled, clenching his fist tightly.

*****

Later once more, Lynn was in the kitchen eating some of the many pancakes Lincoln had made. Then Lincoln entered the room.

Lincoln: I see you're awake sleeping beauty.

Lynn: Eat me.

Lincoln: No thanks, you probably taste tough and rubbery like a tire.

Suddenly, the ground shook, Lynn grabbed the remote and turned back up the volume.

Newswomen: Breaking news! Mayor Grags has been kidnapped by two masked assailants with a dozen or so armed men. Bombing downtown Royal Lakes and bringing the parade to a halt. Several police and SWAT teams have already been killed.

Two images then appeared on the screen. The first was of a large burly man wearing a white and black suit with orange lines with matching boots, one black glove, one orange glove, and an orange hood over a skull mask.

Lincoln: Hey! Only I get to rock orange here!

Lynn: You wear red.

Lincoln: Shut it!

The other was a lean-built woman with long red hair and blue eyes with magenta eyeshadow. She wore a pink and magenta leotard with a puffy dark magenta collar and a heart under her ample breasts, magenta arm warmers, dark magenta fingerless gloves, and dark magenta heels with dark blue socks. 

[Hot mama!]

[Holy hell.]

Lincoln: She's hot.

Lynn: Keep it in your pants dude.

The two were shown killing dozens of police officers and SWAT Teams with ease, taking the mayor with them.

Newsman: The criminals are demanding 2 million dollars in cash for the mayor's life. They are currently being held up at Royal Lakes' container storage site.  No officer or SWAT force can get close to the building as they have skilled snipers and well-trained gunmen.

Newswoman: The two masked criminals are calling themselves, Dead Reaper and Heart Hunter respectively. No word from either side after their ransom demands were released.

Lincoln: Oooo! Bad guys to kill!

Lynn: Well, if we want to learn something we may as well start somewhere.

Lincoln: I'll get my ammo baaaaaag~!

Lynn: Try not to forget it this time.

Lynn was then sent to the floor by a headshot from Lincoln.

*****

At Royal Lakes' container storage, police and swat forces were being pinned down by gunfire. 

Officer: We're are pinned down, immediate back up requested! 

Underneath the building above, Lincpool and Lynn-23 were suited up, and underneath the restroom of the storage site. The sewer to be specific.

Lincpool: Time to go boom.

Lynn-23: Hurry, up this place smells like shit.

Lincpool: This place is a sewer. What do you expect? (pulls out a C4 charge) Time to go boom!

In the building, a merc was walking away from using the restroom whistling. Suddenly, the restroom exploded, and Lincpool and Lynn-23 stepped out of the fire.

Lincpool: Woooo! That's what happens when you mix C4 with a bean burrito!

Lynn-23: Pretty sure that's what happened when you mix anything with C4.

[Quit ruining our jokes!]

The two were quickly surrounded, Lynn-23 took off her jacket and cracked her neck while Lincpool drew his swords.

Merc 1: (aims his gun) Get on your knees!

Lincpool: I'M NOT YOUR MOTHER LAST NIGHT!

The mercs immediately opened fire on the two siblings.

Lynn-23: They sure took exception to that.

Lincpool: Must be true then! In which case, HAHA!

The two disappeared in a cloud of smoke kicked up by the high-powered gunfire. The mercs believed they killed the two, they turned to return to their duties, until a familiar *SKINT* sound rang out.

Merc 2: Huh?

The two siblings suddenly came out swinging blades. Blood and guts sprayed everywhere as merc after merc was killed brutally.

Merc 3: We need backup! (gets sliced in half by Lincpool) GAARRGH!!

*****

In the CEO room of the building, Dead Reaper and Heart Hunter were in a voice chat with an unnamed caller while Mayor Grags was bound and gagged in the corner.

Unnamed: (garbled voice) This wasn't the deal!

Dead Reaper: You said that all we needed to do was kill him. How was up to us. So calm down, this is just for some extra cash.

Unnamed: (garbled voice) Fine! So long as he dies. I don't care what you do!

*Thooom!!!*

Unnamed: (garbled voice) 

Dead Reaper ended the voice chat.

Heart Hunter: Sounds like either the police got through or we have a third party intruding. Either way, this'll be fun, right DR? Or should I call you, Task Master Jr.?

Dead Reaper then immediately drew a sword from out of nowhere, aiming it directly at Heart Hunter's neck. Heart Hunter remained calm, before pulling out a crossbow from out of nowhere herself.

Heart Hunter: Nice trick, may come 

Dead Reaper: As much of a copycat as ever.

Heart Hunter: Why stick to one trick when you can copy them all? So how long are you gonna hang onto that Task Master thing?

Dead Reaper: (puts sword away) He abandoned his best pupil, so I'm just gonna prove I'm better then him! Now, let's take care of our intruder problem.

Dead Reaper left the room and Heart Hunter blew a kiss to the mayor.

Heart Hunter: Stay there Mr. Mayor, we'll be right back~!

*****

In a different room, Lincpool was looking over the Wanted app, dead goons were piled up on the second floor, seeing his face and name with a prize of 10,000 dollars beside Dead Reaper's 10,010 dollars.

Lincpool: PFFT! What a rip! Seriously, what makes this chump worth 10 bucks more than me? C'mon! I'm me! (chuckles) What!? Am I right?

Next to him, looking at his phone, Dead Reaper doesn't respond.

Lincpool: Yeah, I am. I'm pretty sure.

Lincpool and Dead Reaper realize they are next to each other and somersault backward.

Dead Reaper: It's your lucky day. (pulls out his machine guns) I can show you.

Lincpool: Oh, boy! A show? (pulls out his machine guns) Can I get popcorn first? I hope they have salt and pepper shakers. I love them to be tasty. 

*****

On the other side of the site, Lynn-23 was carving her way through mercs. She then blocked a chakram thrown at her head. Heart Hunter then landed.

Merc 5: Boss, we got you're bac-

The merc was suddenly cut off by their throats being slit by a flying chakram, which flew to Heart Hunter who caught it.

Lynn-23: Aren't those your guys?

Heart Hunter: We weren't planning on paying them so they were going to die anyway.

Lynn-23: Fair enough. Let's do this.

Heart Hunter: What no witty banter or smart remarks?

Lynn-23: You went after the wrong person for that.

Lynn-23 unsheathed her claws.

Heart Hunter: (rolls her eyes) Great, I got the boring one.

To Be Continued...

That's all for this chapter, bye!
