Chapter 3: shattered souls

Lincoln wandered aimlessly through the bowels of hell, he can still hear the sickening shriek of a beast from afar and the screams and whispers of the Damned.

A place of sorrow and despair where The wicked reside and those who lack faith must travel through, The last loud son must travel through the nine circles of hell to find the answer to salvation, but will he find salvation or damnation. Beast, monsters, and demons lurk in the bottomless pit, the odds are against him, the souls of corrupted humans, The spirits of falling Angels, and beings of pure evil sharpen their claws and teeth,

It's only a matter of time before he snaps.

"Later sucker" said the succubus as she flew off.

"You Will pay for this", screamed The other demon grabbing onto his missing arm.

"Screw you", Lincoln screamed at it. Apparently a succubus flew nearby and messed with Lincoln, seducing him and taunting him, followed by another demon appeared with Hellhounds and tried to kill Lincoln only for him to chop his arm off and kill the Hellhounds, while He was on his way to Behemoth's tomb, but one thing is definitely for sure.

It was going to be one pain in the ass journey.

Lincoln Road at top of a blooddragon, he went around hell trying to find the tomb of behemoth, hell was pretty big, probably take a long while before he would find it.

"I miss Ronnie Anne and I miss everyone else", Lincoln said to himself.

Then a dragon came from a volcano and stormed right through Lincoln putting him off course then he saw a strange blue Aurora emitting from a pyramid.

"Please be the Place" Lincoln said, "it took me a long time". Lincoln took a deep breath and flew near the pyramid only to hear the scream of a girl.

"HELP PLEASE" spoke The blonde girl.

"Welp since I'm not a heartless bastard why not", Lincoln said as a flew near.

Back on earth

Time 6:00 PM

Suspect Lynn loud Senior.

"Now start from the beginning to the end how did this entire bad luck Sharee start", asked Officer rook.

Lynn looked up at the police officers and finally spoke. "it all began to days ago, I was casually helping my wife with her work, we were preparing to go to Lynn Jr's baseball game, everyone was coming except for Lincoln was trying to skip out on it, my daughter wouldn't allow that. She forced him to come to the game for the first time, and for the first time her entire team lost, accusing her one and only brother of being bad luck. Seeing this as an advantage, he took his chance, he began trying to avoid everyone by using his so-called bad luck",

Lynn looked at The door in back of the police who seem to still be interested to learn more.

"Anything else you have to tell us Mr. Loud", insisted the police officer.

"From then on he began avoiding all of us, lynn Jr kept insisting that he was really bad luck, but we weren't buying it. Then our daughter Lola suggested we Play a trick on him, we were all playing along, hiding his stuff in the basement and banning him from our fun activities. however we took it too far, up to the point where we were literally believing he was bad luck, of course It was nothing but superstition but we kicked him out of the house, of course we kept s close eye on him but we never expected him to go this far, The kid really does have a limit, I should've known, he's my son Anyway".

"So let me get this straight,he ran away because you pretended to disown him as a part of a revenge prank, is that correct", suggested officer stone with a rather disappointed attitude.

"To put it simply, yes" said Lynn Senior.

"That's all we need to know for now" lynn senior was escorted out of the interrogation room, "please bring in rita loud".

Back in hell

"Back off, back off demon" Lincoln screamed at it, The demon took off at Lincoln want to attend to the injured girl,

"Are you all right" said Lincoln, "no I've been here for two days wondering this place, what is this place anyway". "If I tell you promise you won't freak out" Lincoln said", "I think I can handle it" promised the girl. Lincoln gave a little smirk, "we are in hell", The girl was shocked. "but I didn't do anything wrong something grab me", "hells hierarchy is falling apart, demons are taking sides" said Lincoln. "What's your name anyway", Lincoln asked? "The name is Sam, I was attacked at night by a mysterious entity that threw me around the room I ,once my mom got there I was highly injured on the way to the hospital I thought I was dead however once I woke up I Witnessed ademon drag me into apparently was blood like fire, The next thing I know I'm here" tells Sam. Lincoln knew what this meant, the demons were finding ways into the overworld. "Well you're not any safer here, this place is crawling with those bastards, you best come with me"

Lincoln Road off with his new companion, Sam on the Hell dragon.

" wait I remember you you're that kid from the news you know the one who was found dead in the alleyway, Lincoln loud was it, So what's your story", asked Sam?

"It's been sometime since I was in hell I'm seeking a way out of here and I believe the answer lies with in the Hellkey from which is guarded by the dark beast behemoth. I ended up here by commiting suicide, I didn't think that gun had any bullets left anyway. Ever since I got here hell has been a wreck it's been 2 years since I was stuck here, hunting down monsters and demons, escaping the clutches of the fallen and the damned, as long as you keep your feet away from the lake of fire you should be fine, well as long as you know how to fight demon".

"Uh did you say 2 years, I swore it's only been like two days since you were found dead, one and a half to be specific" suggested Sam. "Time in hell moves faster, sometimes only one day can be like a year and a year can be a century in hell, you best be doing good things and saying your prayers every night you don't want to end up here", Said Lincoln. "How come your doing all right here, I mean look at you, you huntd emons and and kill monsters, how are you not dead, Sam asked", Lincoln turned around to look at Sam with a rather serious face, because I was under the care of a demon I think his name was Belial, he said than hell was meant to contain all evil however evil had free reign here he told me how to fight back he banished somewhere I don't know where he went however I've been surviving ever since but my main task is getting out of here and going back to earth, but first I need to key from behemoth which is where I'm headed right now, just promise you won't interfere right" Lincoln asked.

"As if I want to be any part of that" Sam then sees the pyramid below.

All The sudden, a fiery Arrow was trying to hit the Dragon but missed Lincoln look below to see a man screaming at them.

"nimm mich mit dir Arschloch", screamed the Man below. "After what you did in World War II, No way in hell Hitler, oh that's right we are in hell" Lincoln joked, "that guy is been trying to get out of here for decades". Sam looked below only to see the poor souls that were wondering the wasteland somewhat beating and killing each other, while others were getting chased or killed by huge demons or monsters that Roam the land. "This is the Valley of the damned, we're all who have done bad things must for every lie you were not meet with the life of the Lord, but with death, and Death is where your soul never see the light of god again, The only light you will see in this cold darkness is the light of the fire that burns your soul". Sam's Face became sad, she cared about the lives of others and seeing them suffer in this endless pit was too much for her, she lookked away in disgust. "Too much for you, don't worry we're almost there, hang on tight", said Lincoln as they flew down and made their way to the pyramid.

Back on earth

"That's enough for today, Rita loud" spoke the officer.

Both Rita and Lynn what confronted by officer rook and stone. "So let me get this straight you didn't know that kicking your son out the house just to teach them a lesson Was illegal", officer rook said angrily, "you should've thought about it first before taking action, I understand what he was doing, he wanted time for him self and that's no way to punish your child, sure that's the way to his sisters mess with him but you took it too far up to the point that you disowned him because of The Whole bad luck thing, i'm afraid the two of you are under arrest

The loud parents had fear in their eyes then Rita spoke. "Will you allow us to break the news to our children please",

She bagged, "very well but we will escort you there and then escort you out", said officer stone.

The officers took the parents to their car.

After making their way to the loud family house, The parents with the two officers knocked on the door, "coming" said Lori with a sad voice. When she arrives at the door she was surprised to see her parents with two officers. "Mom, dad what's going on" they looked behind them to see Lynn and alongside her was Lucy, "wait mom and dad are back" Luna's voice could be heard from upstairs and she was peeking over from her room with her sister Luan.

We missed you said Leni, things aren't the same without our brother Lincoln. "Kids, were so sorry but we can't stay here" said Lynn senior. "But Why you just got back" spoke Lynn Jr. "We were forced to tell them the entire situation with Lincoln, apparently kicking a minor out the house is illegal and jail time is required". "But what are we supposed to do it out you", said Luna with tears in her eyes. "We already called your grandfather to come here and your aunt as well", spoke their father Lynn senior. "Pop pop is coming", said Lola but not as her normal self, "they're going to take good care of you, goodbye", and with that, The loud parents were driven off to jail leaving their young daughters souls shattered.
