Chapter 2: Still As Loud As Ever

Here's the next chapter, thanks to ECHO-173 for his help, enjoy!

Clyde looked out at the bus' windshield to see a group of people on the Anti Grav Bridge smashing open cars and forcing people out. 'Things haven't all been sunshine and rainbows, criminals all over have been coming here to try and get their hands on Incognito Labs tech, though they rarely ever get to attack actual ' Clyde thought before one of the terrorists spotted him.

The teenage boy hit the deck and tried to crawl back to his seat before gun fire rained through the windows, causing the other passengers on the bus to scream out in terror as they hid behind the seats. "If you value your lives! You'll come out now!" One of the terrorists shouted.

Clyde thought to stand but Hawk suddenly shouted out, "Get bent, you crazed jackasses!"

"Are you trying to get us killed?!" Rusty hissed from under his seat.

Hank chuckled as Hawk replied, "Only you losers! Ha!"

Stella then hissed, "You two are morons! They'll kill you too!"

"Haha... oh... oh crap." The realization hit Hank.

Suddenly, a criminal began beating on the door to the bus, "Open up, let's make this quick!" Clyde closed his eyes as he tried to keep his breathing under control. "Who the hell are you!?" The criminal's words were confusing to Clyde and his friends so they looked up from their seats, where Clyde saw the same boy that he saw on the rooftops, he was sitting on the hood of the bus.

"Are you deaf?! Where the hell did you come from?!" A different terrorist shouted.

The teen boy then replied, "Your mother's bedroom."

"Son of a bitch!" shouted one of the terrorist.

"That's not possible! I was there half an hour before we did all this!" Another terrorist said before the other one turned to them and shot them in the leg. "AH! SON OF A BITCH!"

The criminals all took aim at the white haired teen, who sat there unphased, but all that came from the guns were several clicks coming from their firearms. "What the hell!?" The terrorist questioned as they took off the mags to their firearms, each one of the criminals found their gun magazines were gone.

The young man then held out the terrorist's magazines, "Looking for something?" The young man then vanished from view before placing an arm around the criminal he was talking to. "Gonna be honest, this has to be the smallest criminal group I've seen. The ones that attacked the bank down on Francois Rd." He vanished again when the terrorist tried to attack him with the butt of his gun.

The terrorists all turned around to try and find this strange teenager, but suddenly, the criminal who the teen had draped his arm over began sliding backwards. "Huh?" He sputtered out as he slid backwards as if he was on ice. The terrorist tried to move forward, even going into a full sprint but still sliding backwards.

"How are you doing that?" One of the other criminals asked, suddenly, they each felt a tap to their shoulders and began sliding uncontrollably in different directions. "The hell is going on!?" The terrorist shouted before they each went flying into different cars and vehicles, sticking to them like human magnets.

The white haired teen then reappeared looking around with a satisfied grin, "Lincoln?" Lincoln turned to see Clyde stepping off the bus. At the same time, one of the terrorists pulled out a pistol, managing to put his arm up to take aim at Clyde. Then, Lincoln's index finger opened up showing a small barrel inside his finger.

The Loud boy then fired a laser beam from his finger and melted the pistol. Lincoln then heard sirens so he looked to Clyde and gave him a hand sign, one from their childhood, three fingers to the ear followed by crossing his two fingers. Which meant, "Keep it a secret." Clyde nodded before Lincoln zoomed away, leaving an orange trail behind as he vanished down the street.

*****

Lincoln arrived at an old manor, it was clean but still had its old timey design surrounded by a high brick wall with spikes atop it. The sign read 'Harriet Loud Residence.', Lincoln walked in sneakily, slowly taking steps through the door. Suddenly, Lincoln was grabbed by a blue energy that pulled him into the air. "Hold it, Buster!" Announced someone inside.

The lights were turned on to reveal a tall 23 year old young woman with fair skin, longer & big blonde hair in an upward ponytail, blue eyeshadow, blue eyes, and possesses a voluptuous curvaceous figure with some athleticism, an average sized chest, strong hips/thighs & a plump like her mother, Rita. She wears blue diamond earrings, futuristic cyan shades, a custom white & cyan blue trimmed bomber jacket, sleeveless white shirt, black & silver belt, black custom cargo pants with cyan knee armor & white and cyan custom boots. "Hey, Lori." Lincoln greeted as his older sister held him upside down, her hand glowing with the same blue energy as what was holding him. "Getting the hang of your Anti-Grav power."

"Don't try to change the subject! You went outside again?! You know how dangerous it is out there!" Lori chastity as she put Lincoln down on the ground.

Lincoln rolled his eyes as he replied, "Come on, Lori, you know I'm fast enough to outrun almost anything out there."

"THAT'S NOT THE POINT-"

Suddenly, a voice rang out through the two sibling's heads. "Enough. Calm down, Lori" Lori calmed down as the voice continued. "Come here, both of you." Lori and Lincoln walked up into the attic of the manor where they found someone sitting next to a machine that was a combination of a satellite and telescope, which was pointed out a window. Also in the room were eight metal pods large, strangely numbered, Two to Eleven, skipping over the number six. Each pod had what looked like speakers and a camera that followed the two as they entered.

Sitting in a chair was Lisa Loud, who was a short, stout 10-year-old girl with short, messy brown hair, her right eye closed with a large scar going up the right side of her head, and glasses. She was wearing a white swing coat with three green stripes on the left side, green pants, and white shoes. "Lisa, what's going on?"

Lisa was looking through a telescope as she replied bluntly, "The Meteorite is approaching the planet." Lisa scooted herself to her side as Lincoln zipped over to look into the telescope, to see a large metallic meteorite passing the moon.

"Yeah, and it's a big one." Lincoln replied, before zipping away from the telescope to allow Lisa back onto it.

Then a voice came through the pod labeled number five. "I still think I should've been the one to get restored first." Spoke a voice that sounded a lot like Lynn.

"Dude, we've been over this. Lisa brought back Lincoln and Lori because, besides her, they are the smartest ones out of all of us." Replied a voice from the Number Three pod, which had Luna's voice.

Then the pod labeled number nine spoke with Lana's voice, "What about Luan?"

Lola's voice then came from pod number eight, "Really, Lana? If I had motion in my hands, I'd slap you. You want Luan, a serial prankster, up and moving around before any of us?"

"Yeah, I'd totally take advantage of the fact that none of you guys could move." Luan agreed, chuckling evilly from pod number four. Lincoln then zoomed out of the attic before coming back with a cockroach in his hand, approaching the fourth pod slowly with an evil grin. "Linc. Linc! Wait! No! LINCOLN!!!"

Leni's voice then came from pod number two, "I'm still confused."

Followed by a new voice coming from the pod labeled number eleven, "Yeah, I still don't get why a meteor is so important."

Lisa sighed as she adjusted her glasses, "I shall explain it one more time, youngest sister Lily and for the LAST time."

"Youngest? You're literally the second youngest kid here," Lily retorted as Lisa had several drones pull out a board for each camera to focus on.

Then a drone drew a simple drawing of Carol Linnaeus sending the Loud siblings a bomb, followed by. "Firstly, as we all know, Carol Linnaeus sent us a bomb made from her OW-Metals, or Off World Metals."

A second drone flew by and erased the drawing so the first could draw another, it was of Lisa crawling out from burning debris, "However, due to my many experiences with Explosions, I was relatively unharmed, thankfully I was also wearing my kevlar sweater that day."

"You never answered our question as to why you wore kevlar every day?" Luna asked but was ignored.

The next drawing was of Lisa working while Rita and Lynn Sr. were grieving at empty graves, "Carol has power, money, technology, and high social standing, so if she found out I survived the explosion she would just attack again, something I couldn't live through again while trying to save your lives." Lisa explained. "So, Mother and Father faked our deaths, using the life insurance policies from our faked deaths and our connections with Loch Loud, we were able to buy Great-Grandmother Harriet's estate, which sits outside of any city or town, allowing us to remain out of Carol's."

"Real quick, where are Mom and Dad?" Lincoln asked.

Lori quickly answered, "Enjoying an AirBnb in Hawaii."

Lisa cleared her throat so she could recapture everyone's attention, "However..." The next drawing was of Lisa running out of something. "I wasn't able to turn all of you into Cyborgs, as they say, from the get go. I was only able to restore and upgrade your bodies to face whatever Carol would throw at us again." Lisa explained.

The last drawing was of Lincoln and Lori then of the falling meteorite, followed by a drawing of the others in their pods. "To remedy this, I've spent the last five years searching and then drawing in a meteorite made from OW-Metals. Using the path that Carol's rocket had launched off in."

"As I said before, Carol has power, money, technology, and high social standing. She's liable to send any number of things at us for her revenge. So we need to be prepared. Is everyone following along so far?" Lisa looked at her sibling.

"Were we supposed to take those note thingies? Because I forgot already... what is OW metal? Does it hurt?" Leni asked Lisa facepalming herself.

Lisa adjusted her glasses and replied with a sigh, "No, you can't even move your arms, nor did I install robotic arms on your pods..."

Suddenly an alarm went off, Lisa checked and smiled. "Good news, the OW metal is coming to Earth but I have some bad news, I could pull it towards us however I can't have it land near us."

"Why not?" Lana asked.

"Simple tomboyish sister, if the metal lands too close to us they'll grow suspension of our location and learn about us." Lisa explained.

Lincoln raised his hand with an excited look, "Yes, Lincoln does mean what you think it does. You have to stop it."

Lynn quickly interjected, "Okay, I may be the cockist girl alive, but even I can't catch a Meteorite."

"He won't catch it, he'll go to where it will land and grab it along with Lori, her Anti-Gravity powers will make moving the metal easier, with Lincoln's speed." Lisa explained with Lincoln and Lori nodding before Lincoln immediately zoomed out of the room and Lori followed after him. "Be safe, and return quickly."

"Alright! Once you get that metal I'll have a cyborg body next right?" Lynn asked with Lisa being silent. "Right?" Lisa didn't answer again. "Oh, you suck!"

*****

At Royal Lakes City Hall, Carol was getting make-up done by a robotic assistant, "Reminder, the unveiling of Incognito Lab's newest invention is in five minutes." The robot stated. "If you have any calls, take care of them now."

She checked her phone before getting a call from one of her lab assistants. "Yes, what is it?"

"Hello miss, um, our satellites have picked up a meteorite of OW Metal that is heading towards Earth and... We called the retrieval team, but there might be an issue."

"Explain."

"We were sending the team to get it but it suddenly flew off course, it somehow changed direction on its own." The assistant explained.

Carol put a finger to her chin and thought out loud, "Then someone is using some form of space magnet to pull the meteorite in. I just sent my rocket ships to gather more OW Metal. Its a reckless, but effective. Can you find the cause?"

The assistant quickly replied, "No ma'am. We haven't been able to triangulate any signals to find the cause."

"Unfortunate. Where will the meteorite land?"

"Looks like it is landing just outside of town... Ooop... Hold on, it's course is altering... Oh, dear..." The assistant muttered through the phone call.

Carol narrowed, "David... Where is it going to land?"

"Royal Woods Park, Ma'am..." Carol's eyes widened as she looked across the street where she could see the public park just across the City Hall, in the center of the park was a statue of herself.

"The exact coordinates were just calculated and it looks like it will hit... the statue of yourself ma'am--" David was cut off as the meteorite began to enter the atmosphere, causing an earthquake as it began passing through the clouds. "Ma'am? Are you alright?"

"Send a team to get that damn metal and--" Carol then noticed something else, she panicked. "SEND A STRIKE TEAM TOO! We have terrorists heading this way!!" She then hung up her call. "DAMNIT! Where is that moronic idiot! He is a living calculator and should know what to expect!"

Just outside of town hall, a man in a dark suit with tanned skin and a mustache was eating a bag of peanuts, one of his eyes was red while the other was robotic. He looked at the statue across the street with him hearing something in the distance. "Right on time, man." He spoke with a Cajun accent. He then pressed the side of his head, the robotic eye gleamed a small red light, recording his vision.

Carol looked up and could see the Meteorite, it was the size of a two story building, She then looked back down to ground level to see three groups driving into the park, a terrorist group with "Beda", which meant Misery in Slavic languages, on their vehicles opened fire on Carol, but a energy barrier appeared around her to block the shots.

Next were trucks and armored cars belonging to SWAT forces, the police forces stepped out from the trucks and opened fire on the Beda troops, driving them back from the statue thanks to their advanced equipment and riot gear. Unloading tear gas and bullets that electrocuted each terrorist they hit on the spot.

Last was the Royal Lakes City News, who only drove up close enough to get good footage of the battle and Katherine Mulligan, wearing a set of riot gear, began talking to "This is Katherine Mulligan on Royal Woods News and I'm here today covering a vicious battle between SWAT forces and the russian terrorist organization, Beda!" The cameraman then turned to the meteor falling from the sky. "All the while a meteorite is falling from the sky! Stay tuned for more!"

On top of a building, Lincoln and Lori were watching the whole thing take place. "I feel like we should stop this, but it's between a bunch of terrorists and a group of people who sold their souls to a company." Lincoln thought aloud.

Lori was looking up at the sky as the meteorite was burning a bright blue flame through the sky. "It's about to land, best stop it before it wrecks the town."

Lincoln stood up and did a bit of stretching, "Yeah, I know, I know." Lincoln then made a fist, but his thumb was on the inside of his fingers instead of the outside. Lori did the same before she and Lincoln hit their two fists together, like a self fist bump. "Henshin!" Lincoln announced with Lori giving him a side eye. "What, I've seen Tokusatsu, I love it... I can hear Lynn shouting 'Nerd' from home." Suddenly, nano metal began seeping from the two's clothing before covering Lincoln and Lori, forming a suit of armor around them.

Lincoln's body was first covered in a bodysuit that was dark gray, with white stripes on the side, with orange cybernetic lines on the chest going down. upper torso is covered by a segmented white chest plate with orange shoulder pads. His joints, such as his knees and wrists, were orange, and had small black tabs on them. A helmet with orange ridges atop it and above the visor, and a red V shaped piece sits on his forehead. The "ears" of his helmet and barrel of his arms are white around the edges with red lenses within. Lightning surged on his legs as the armor formed, leaving behind a lightning bolt on both legs. An orange scarf formed around his neck. Lastly, his face was covered by a visor with bright orange lens, with a face guard that looks like grinning sharp teeth.

Lori's hair was pulled in as her suit was forming around her, first came a white and black skin tight bodysuit with cyan cybernetic lines across the hips and upper torso, a belt appears around the waist with the buckle having an apple, then a silver chest piece with cyan light glowing formed over her upper torso, covering the top of her chest, followed by clawed gauntlets and metal heels with the same patterns, her helmet formed around her head, it was a visor that splits at the forehead with a centerpiece like a horn that stayed close to the head with glowing cyan eyes.

"Alright, so you put the meteorite under anti-gravity, I stop its velocity, we get out of here, grab a pizza on the way back and call it a day?" Lincoln suggested to Lori who nodded, it was a good plan.

Lori and Lincoln flew out and spotted the meteorite, Lori walked forward, swaying her hips to add some sass to her attitude, she just felt like it before snapping her fingers, a cyan glow surrounded her body before she leaped up and flew towards the falling meteor. "This should be quick." Lincoln said to himself as Lori flew, suddenly, he felt what felt like little pebbles being thrown at him.

Lincoln turned around to see the terrorists shooting at him, Lincoln then vanished from sight before each terrorist was sent flying by lightning chaining between each criminal, Lincoln appeared behind the criminals as they all hit the ground hard.

When Lori got close to the meteor, she landed on the thing feeling the heat as it was falling, but the moment she stepped on the meteorite, it was surrounded by the same glow she had with it slowing down before it fully stopped in place, walking on it as if it was a planet. "Let's see I should be under the statue right?" She then slammed her foot down with the glow turning off and the meteor falling and crushing the statue of Carol. "Lincoln!" Lori shouted, her little brother appearing in an instant behind her.

Lincoln then pulled out a glowing orange sword before taking flight, energy jet boosters launching him into the air before he vanished from sight. Orange lines began appearing one after the other on the meteor, then Lincoln reappeared and sheathed his weapon.

"Alright, the day is saved, let's head back and--" Lincoln stopped when several armored vehicles started to drive towards them. Once each vehicle stopped dozens of people stepped out of the cars, all armed to the teeth with weapons and body armor, some even having some sort of exoskeleton around their bodies. "Are they super cops or..." He then noticed they had the logo of Incognito Labs. "Enemies."

"FREEZE! Don't move or we will shoot!" One man said, aiming a rocket launcher turret from the top of one of the vehicles. "This is an auto rocket, it will fire if you even move for a split second!" The Incognito Lab guard explained, "All Morphium is property of Incognito Lab-" Suddenly, the turret and car it was on fell to pieces, the guard jumped when he saw .

"Ours now!" Lincoln said as he started grabbing as much metal as possible, taking what he needed and moving it somewhere else, almost making it seem like it was disappearing in thin air. When Lincoln was about to grab another piece of metal his legs acted up, letting off steam from the lightning bolt. "Damn it, why now!" Lincoln then looked to see an Incognito guard behind him, decking him right in the face.

"What's wrong, can't run forever?" The guard shouted but Lincoln flipped over the guard and hovered just above his head, using jets built into his hands.

Lincoln looked down at the guard and asked with a deadpanned tone, "Did you honestly forget I could fly?" Lincoln swirled around the guard like a snake, slicing his exoskeleton into parts before landing behind him. The guard collapsed face first as Lincoln sheathed his sword. "I may have a limit on running speed right now, but I don't got one on reaction speed."

Then the steam coming from his legs stopped, "All good!" Lincoln then vanished from sight, Incognito Labs' Guards put up their guard but each suddenly had their exoskeleton's fall apart. Followed swiftly by each guard being blasted away by an electric blast to the torso.

Floating up off the ground, Lori went to leave, when the Incognito Labs guard grabbed her arm. "Hold it! You aren't going-" The guard was then slammed to the ground, as gravity seemed to increase around him. "-GAH!!!"

As the fight was getting more and more tense the man was watching, eating a bag of peanuts before getting a call on his phone, pulling it out he answered it, only one person knows the number. "Hey boss, how are you doing ma'am?"

"Gambler, where are you?" The voice of Carol could be heard.

"Watching the fight ma'am."

"What is happening then, tell me!"

The man calling himself Gambler answered, "From what I've seen so far, whoever made these two are smart, probably as smart as you. Their weapons are advanced. Their skills are sloppy but their raw power makes up for it. And their armor is too tough for any weapon we have... Well... Any weapon that the government knows about."

Carol, infuriated by the suggestion that someone is as smart as her, shouted, "That's impossible! No one is this intelligent! AH! I'm ordering my guards to capture or kill them, I'll study them either ripping them apart alive or as a corpse!"

The Gambler then hung up and went back to watching and eating before running out of peanuts. "Dang, a show isn't as fun if you don't have a snack."

"Hey! Let's wrap this up!" Lori stated as her arm formed a cannon, Lincoln then grabbed the last slab and vanished with it. "Finally, goodbye everyone." Lori stated as she blasted the guards with a transparent blue energy blast, gravity seeming to flux and twist within the blast's field, getting lighter and heavier at random.

Incognito Labs' guards were blown away like leaves in a windstorm, some puking from the centripetal force of Lori's gravity-fluxing cannon. Lori then took flight with Lincoln, all of this was caught on camera by Katherine.

The newswoman then turned to the camera and spoke into her mic, "You've seen it here first folks! Two heroes have appeared and stopped the meteor from hitting our beloved hometown!"

*****

Back at the Harriet estate, the Louds were watching TV while Lisa was processing the meteorite, the Loud scientist had converted her combined satellite and telescope device into an advanced metal processing machine. "You mean to tell me you two have these likes super transformations and that next to nothing can stop you!?" Lynn shouted from her pod.

"The Borg Forms are- Ruup!" Lori groaned as she stopped herself from barfing, she was green in the face was bent over a bucket, filled with barf. "Trump Cards... We're not all powerful, it just upgrades us and lets us recover from our weaknesses faster- Rrrugp!" Lori gagged as she held back another round of puke.

Lynn continued shouting, "Weaknesses?! Why would Lisa put weaknesses in you guys?!"

Lisa quickly interjected, raising her finger as she did, "I did no such thing. These weaknesses came with the remains of your human bodies. Lori still has her motion sickness. Lincoln's legs overheat from extensive use due to his lack of exercise. The 'Borg Form' as you call it, overcharges your Picobots to their maximum, allowing you to recover much faster then before." Lori's cheeks swelled up before she dove her head. "At the downside of feeling the effects of your weaknesses about ten times as bad. In short, 20 minutes of near unstoppable power, followed by a long time of sick leave."

Lynn then began to laugh, "Then good thing I won't have any weaknesses!" Lisa reacted around to aim her hand at Lynn, before flicking her wrist upward. Then an audible thud came from inside the pod. "Ow! Hey, I can still feel things!"

Ignoring the sporty Loud, Luna then asked, "Where's Linc?"

"In the bathroom- Rrp! Resting his legs in a tub of water..." Lori answered, her eyes fluttered before she laid her head down and fell asleep in seconds. The other Louds remained silent while Lisa continued to work on processing the metals.

Meanwhile, Carol was analyzing every frame of information her guards had gathered, not that there was much to use. As Lincoln was moving faster than her cameras could follow. "Movement faster than light... This is like something out of a comic book!" Carol roared as she slammed her hands on the desk. "I need more data..." Carol's eyes narrowed then widened as she had an idea. "Wait, comic book... There have been reports of a youth playing superhero all over Royal Lakes City... These two must be one of them..." Carol opened a design planner. "If that one likes playing a hero, then he'll need villains. I have been creatively lacking, so I get creative with my inventions." Carol began drawing up plans and blueprints with an evil smile on her face.

To Be Continued...

That's all for this chapter, I hope you enjoyed.
