Lincoln woke up to stare at a ceiling that was not his own. Slowly trying to sit up, he stopped out of pain as he fell back onto the bed "W-what the hell? Where am I?" Lincoln asked as he looked down and saw his chest covered in bandages, an IV drip on his arm, and an oxygen mask on his face "What happened?" Lincoln whispered as he had a flash-back.

Flashback:

Lincoln sat in front of the TV. He was watching an older episode ARGGH! When it was suddenly turned off "Hey, what the heck?!" Lincoln asked as he saw his sister, Lisa

"Greetings, older sibling, I require your assistance for an experiment I'm conducting," Lisa said as she adjusted her glasses

"Can't this wait?"

"You're not doing anything worth your time anyways, watching reruns of... that show,"

"*Sigh* Guess you're right,"

"Perfect! Follow me to my lab!" Lisa said as Lincoln got off the couch and followed her. Walking up the stairs, Lincoln walked into Lisa's room and saw a machine in the middle of the room "Uh, Lisa, what is that?" Lincoln asked

"That, dear brother unit, is a prototype space-time contraption I'm having you test," Lisa explained, "just stand in the center with this in your hand," she continued to speak as she handed Lincoln a small disk with blinking lights

"What's this?" Lincoln asked

"A device for me to locate you so that I may bring you back," she said as she pointed at the green button, "press that button and I'll be able to locate you after it sets up,"

"Anything else?"

"Yes, you may need this," Lisa said as she pulled out a pistol

"WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GET THAT?!" Lincoln shouted

"From our dear father unit's safe, I'll put it back once we're done,"

"You sure I won't... die?" Lincoln asked

"I've calculated every possible outcome, each one with you coming back alive... 90% chance of success,"

"And the other 10?"

"You either come back with missing limbs or horribly... eviscerated," Lisa said

"Excuse me, what?"

"No time to explain, just stand there!"

End Flashback:

Everything after that was blank "Hey, kid, glad to see you're awake," said a voice as Lincoln turned his head to see a man wearing armor and a helmet

(I know it's destiny armor, so forgive me, every other armor was either Boba or his father)

"W-who are you? Where am I?" Lincoln asked as the man put his hands up

"Whoa, whoa, take it easy, calm down. You landed in a Rattatakian Redjacket nest, I'm actually surprised you're still alive," the man said as he pulled up a chair and sat down next to Lincoln

"W-what's a Rataktkakain Redjacket?"

"Rattatakian Redjacket, kid, generally large bugs that sting like hell!" the man explained, "Hold on a sec, my name's Ruzz'egotu, but call me Ruzz,"

"Lincoln... Lincoln Loud," Lincoln said as the two tried to shake hands, but Lincoln could barely hold his hand up

"Still feel like your body is on fire?" Ruzz asked

"Yeah,"

"Don't sweat it," Ruzz replied. As the two sat there, Lincoln started to check his pockets and found them empty "I-It's not here," Lincoln said

"What's not here?" Ruzz asked

"T-the disk! T-the thing my sister gave me, where is it?!" Lincoln asked as Ruzz seemed whistle in embarrassment

"I think I know... what happened to it," Ruzz said as he pulled the disk out... except it was in two pieces

"No! No, no, no, no, no, no! T-this is bad!" Lincoln said as he started to struggle

"Hey, calm down! You're still not ready to move around,"

"Kuba, kayaba dee anko!" shouted a voice from outside the room

"Give me a minute! I'm trying to calm the kid down!" Ruzz shouted back at the voice

"Bu kid bah aoen nrom pej slumbah?"

"Yeah, but he's having a panic attack over the disk I stepped on!"

"Alite wasting tee-tock an putt shash bata winkee!"

"Alright! Fine!" Ruzz shouted as he pulled out a small dart from his pocket, "Sorry kid," he said as he stabbed Lincoln in the neck

"W-what... was... that?" Lincoln asked as he slowly went back to sleep.

Unknown Amount of Time Later:

Lincoln woke up to the same ceiling from before and looked around. He noticed that he no longer had an oxygen mask on his face, but the IV drip was still there "Oh, my head," Lincoln groaned

"You rise from your slumber... again," said a voice as Lincoln looked over to see Ruzz walking over to him with a bottle in his hand. Ruzz shook the bottle as he sat down next to Lincoln and said: "How ya feeling this time, kid?"

"Everything hurts," Lincoln said with a hoarse voice

"Yeah, you sound like it," Ruzz replied as he opened the bottle and placed it near Lincoln's mouth, "drink up,". Lincoln took a sip before he pulled his head away in disgust "GAH! What was that?!" Lincoln shouted

"A combination of medicine and water thought it would be easier for you to get down," Ruzz explained, "you need it, you've been in bed for nearly 2 weeks,"

"2 weeks?!" Lincoln shouted, "No, no! M-my sisters are probably missing me! M-my parents! Clyde! RONNIE! O-oh god, this is terrible!"

"HEY! Drink the damn bottle before I shove it down your throat!" Ruzz threatened, causing Lincoln to snap back to reality. Shaking a bit in fear, Lincoln reluctantly drank the rest of the bottle as Ruzz sighed, "About time, kid. You feel like walking?" Ruzz asked as he stood up

"I-I think so," Lincoln said as Ruzz walked around the bed and helped Lincoln up. Lincoln's legs felt like weights as Ruzz supported him "Nice and slow, we aren't in much of a hurry," Ruzz said

"Murishani, bu boee stidd neeba?" asked a voice, causing Ruzz to curse under his breath

"Yes, great Zil'Oal, he is!"

"Stang shash jeesh!" Zil'Oal replied as Ruzz shook his head. Looking down at Lincoln, Ruzz said: "Listen, kid, we're gonna have to hurry it a bit. So just hang on to me, and maybe we'll both make it out of this alive,"

"O-okay," Lincoln said as they both walked out of the room. The first thing that Lincoln saw were lights. Green, red, blue, and white. Every color burned his eyes as he squinted in pain. But when he was able to see again, he saw a bar with freaky... things! And what seemed to be blue women dancing.

Lincoln could only stare in wonder and fear as Ruzz continued to walk with him. They soon walked through a corridor, turned at the end of the hallway, and into a room. At the other end was a giant slug-thing with scars on its face and a blind eye.

(I know it's Nem'ro, but this is the best I could do)

"Ninaddy, Coona tee-tocky malia?" it asked as Ruzz seemingly bowed

"My, apologize, great Zil'Oal, but the kid needed some help walking," Ruzz explained as the creature seemed to nod

"Jee buu-derstand... uba, boee, haku uba ooing wata?" Zil'Oal said. The room was quite for a minute before Ruzz seemed to nudge Lincoln "Hey, kid, he's talking to you," Ruzz whispered

"H-he was?" Lincoln asked

"Hold on a minute, can you not speak Huttese?" Ruzz asked

"What's Huttese?"

"One thing after another... Oh great Zil'Oal, I'm afraid the kid doesn't know Huttese. So I think it would be best if you go easy on him, after all... he did save you from the swarm you angered," Ruzz said as the Hutt nodded

"Jee agree. Tae shash bata bu neeba an give shash lessons nop huttese... Jee 'dd doo soe mae girase stang shash soe nood," Zil'Oal said. Ruzz bowed again as he helped Lincoln back to the room. When they got back, Ruzz set Lincoln on the bed and said: "Well, looks like I'm going to be teaching you,"

"T-teaching me?" Lincoln asked

"Yeah, the boss can't have you not knowing what he's saying. So, one of the girls are going to be coming around with a lesson on Huttese," Ruzz said

"W-wait! I-I have so many questions, where am I? Who or what was that? Who are all those people?!" Lincoln asked, "H-how am I going to get home?"
