That's right, this is still going through the PM requests from those who wanna see another "What if" scenario. Thanks to BrenTheNewFan2020 for this idea and concept. This is going to be emotional and very much heart breaking, so brace yourselves and enjoy folks.

What if part 14: Fallen Guardian.

(Royal Woods General Hospital.)

Outside of the Surgery room is none other than Lincoln, Sam, Sully, Mazzy and Chunk. All five of them have been waiting for hours and are waiting for the results on the recovery of their good friend/sister/lover/guardian/band leader Luna Loud.

Sam sits next to Lincoln and sees his sad expression, he looks like he's going to cry once again. "Lincoln, It's gonna be okay buddy" said Sam as she puts her hand onto his back.

"This …. This is all my fault. All of ….. All of this, w-was my fault!" cried Lincoln.

Sam then hugs him tightly. "No, this wasn't you're fault Lincoln. This was the fault of those who made you into an outcast, Luna did what she had to do to save you, don't blame yourself Lincoln." She continues to comfort the crying 11 year old.

Sully, Mazzy and Chunk felt bad for the kid. Sully hits his fist to the wall. "Why did this have to happen?! God damn it! I should've punched that ponytailed bitch!" Sully sheds some tears from this.

Mazzy goes to Sully and hugs him. "Sully, please calm down. She wasn't worth it, and I don't want you to get into any more trouble. We just have to hold on and ….. And try to hope that Luna will be okay."

Chunks sighs and sits down. "Bloody hell. Look at what's this been to. All Lunes wanted was to help her brother be a family member and this all goes down to the louds being at fault. I swear I am going to knock a shiner onto the bloke who calls himself a father!"

Then the doors of the Surgery room open and they see Dr. Ryan S. Kendrick comes out and he removes his mask. Lincoln and the others go to him, but Lincoln is the first one to ask. "Doctor, is …. Is my sister going to be okay?"

The doctor looks to the boy with sadness, and then he looks to the others who were all wanting to know the condition of Luna Loud. "I … I am so, so sorry. But she doesn't have much time left." This makes them all gasp and Lincoln goes wide eyed.

"Her I juries were so severe that she had a lot of internal bleeding, we tried but we can't do anything to help her anymore. I'm so sorry Lincoln."

All of them start to shed tears, Sam is heartbroken by this, her girlfriend is dead and now she has no one to call her lover, but then she sees Lincoln, Lincoln doesn't respond and does nothing. But she does notice his sudden trembling.

"Lincoln?" Sam approaches the boy, and they he collapses to the ground and starts to sob loudly, like he was a lost child who can't find his mother, well this is a lost white-haired 11 year old who lost his caring and trust worthy sister.

Sam goes over and she hugs the boy and cries with him. "I know, I know Lincoln." Lincoln then hugs Luna and cries into her shirt.

The doctor feels bad for this kid, he doesn't know what is happening or what may have caused this slight chaos but he knows that this boy is in deep turmoil and needs his sister. "Kid, I think ….. You should say your goodbyes to her, before she leaves."

Sam hears this and nods, she then looks to Lincoln. "L-Lincoln ……. Lincoln, p-please. We have to see her, come on Lincoln. Be strong, for Luna."

Lincoln then looks up even with his teary eyes he can make out how much this hurts Sam as it does to him. "Linc, let's go …. Let's go and s-say goodbye, to your sister, to Luna."

Lincoln feels as if this was wrong for Luna to go through this, but he wants to see her, to be with her and to share one last hug with her. Lincoln slowly gets up and still hugs Sam, she has no intention of letting him go yet.

Sully, Mazzy and Chunk know that Luna would only wish to see her brother and lover. So they stay outside and wait, but also feel shattered to know Luna is going to die soon.

The doctor opens the door and Lincoln and Sam go in. He then closes it and looks to the band mates. "Mind telling me what happened?"

(Inside.)

Lincoln and Sam look to the 15 year old rocker girl, Luna Loud. On the bed, some stitching to her head and right arm and with only the heart monitor left connected to her. Luna opens her eyes weakly and she looks to see her little brother and her blonde musical lover.

Luna weakly smiles. "L-Lincoln, S-Sam. Hey."

Lincoln let's go of Sam and he tearfully approaches Luna. He then holds her hand and looks to the weak condition she's in. "Luna, Luna …. I ….. I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry this happened to you. This …. This is all …. This is all my fault! You're … Luna, please don't go!"

Luna touches his face with her hand. "No. T-This isn't ….. This was never y-you're fault. Lincoln. You … You didn't do anything …. Anything wrong."

Lincoln shakes his head in denial. "No, no, no. No! Luna, this ….. This is my fault! It is and it always has been!" Lincoln hugs her and cries. "I …. I should've done something! I …. I shouldn't have …. Have made you help me!"

Luna hugs him back and does her best to comfort him. "Lincoln, my r-role, my role is that I am you're l-legal guardian …. A-And I did, p-please don't blame yourself bro. This …. This is not your fault and …. It never w-was."

Lincoln just cries as he hugs Luna. Luna then looks to Sam who is in tears. "Oh Luna. Oh my god, I should've come to you sooner! Then you and Lincoln …. You both wouldn't be in this fucking mess!" Sam goes to sit by Luna's side and holds her other hand.

Luna smiles weakly at her lover. "Sam, I n-need you to promise me s-something. Come closer."

Sam goes close to Luna so she may hear what she has to say to her. "I know I won't be a-around for the both of you. Y-You two are the only ones w-who have each other left, and …. I want you, I want you to take up the r-role and watch over him, please. Be his legal guardian, k-keep an eye on him, protect him but m-most of all, show him h-how much he means to y-you. Just as he means s-so much to me, love him, care for him a-and be the m-mother figure he n-needs."

Sam then moves away from Luna and looks to her in shock. Luna smiles and she kisses Sam's cheek. "Please Sam, do this …. For me, for him."

Sam sheds tears and she kisses Luna. "I will. I always will. I promise you Luna, I will not forsake this …. This role you have given me, I love you Luna Loud."

Luna kisses Sam back and whispers. "I love you to, Sam Sharp."

They then break from the kiss and Luna looks to her still sobbing brother. "Lincoln. Look at me." Lincoln stops sobbing and he gets up and looks to his haggard sister smiling towards him. Luna uses what strength she has left to try and speak like her usual self.

"Lincoln, whatever happens. I want you to stop blaming yourself, this wasn't your fault and I did what I could to accomplish my task to keep you safe and happy. You are not a horrible brother Lincoln, you're the best dang brother I could ever have."

Luna sheds some tears as she continues to speak. "No, you're more than a brother, because for a long, long time since I have been helping and loving you. You were like a son to me and I will always love you my child, always."

Lincoln starts to cry and he rests his had onto her chest and he hugs her tightly. "Mom …. Please, I don't want you to go! Please! Don't leave me mom!"

Luna sheds some tears knowing he sees her as his mother, she hugs him with his other arm and does so tightly while the other hand is being held by Sam tightly.

Sam watches this and starts to cry, she knows this was it. Luna was close to passing away. 'Luna, Lincoln.'

Luna then feels weaker. "L-Lincoln, i will never truly b-be gone. I will always b-be in your heart. I will a-always be with y-you, I love you, son." She then hugs him tightly and she leans close and kisses his forehead.

Lincoln looks to Luna and he kisses he cheek and then rests onto her chest and hugs her tightly once more. "I love you too mom."

Luna continues this hug and savors these final moments, then Sam joins in this heartbreaking hug and sheds tears.

Luna looks to the two people she has loved her entire life, she then sighs and smiles. "I love you two, keep living and …. Watch over, each …. other." with her eyes half open, still hugging them and a small smile on her face, Luna Loud has passed away.

Sam then breaks away from the hug and she looks to Luna and sheds more tears. "Oh, Luna."

Lincoln feels as if something was wrong. "M-Mom? Mom a-are you okay?" Lincoln then hears no heartbeat. "Mom?"

Lincoln let's go of the hug and he sees her arm just flailing away from him and her fingers no longer tight on Sam's hand, he then looks to Luna and sheds tears, Luna is gone.

"No, no, no, no! No! Luna! No, mom! Please!" Lincoln goes over and he cradles Luna's dead body in his arms and continues to beg for her to come back. "Don't leave me! Please, don't leave me momma! No!"

From the doorway, Sully, Mazzy and Chunk see this and shed tears as well.

Sam goes over and hugs the boy, and she too mourns for the loss of the one person who truly showed them love in their life.

(2 Weeks Later.)

It has been 2 weeks since Luna Loud passed away from her life threatening injuries and now we're here at the Royal Woods Cemetery for them to mourn this funeral of the once great rock n' roll dreamer.

A lot of people have come to attend and Lincoln, along with Pop-pop, Sam, Simon and all their close friends have come. Even Lily who has been adopted by an officer named Tristen and his wife Elena.

Lincoln looks around and he sits by himself with Sam and her family and band mates sitting behind him, Lincoln could see the coffin where his sister is being placed in and he sighs. "Lincoln, how are you feeling kiddo?" It was his maternal grandfather, Albert Willard or Pop-pop.

Lincoln doesn't respond, Albert knows why and he hugs him. "Lincoln this wasn't your fault and you know that Luna did what she had to do to protect you. She was your legal guardian and you were like a son to her, I saw that too."

Lincoln cries as he hugs his grandfather. "Lincoln, no one here sees this as your fault. But, the real perpetrators to this …. This was all from the people, the people we once called …. Family. Let justice run its course and have them be punished properly, I assure you they will never come near you ever again. I know, because the detectives and the law is going to make sure of it."

Pop-pop continues to hug his grandson, and then someone sits next to Lincoln and places a hand on his back. It was Jordan Rosato and her parents are there as well, they're all here to support this kid who lost someone closest to his heart.

Soon, the many eulogies have been made and given and then it was time for Lincoln. He steps up to the pedestal and he looks around to the people in the room. "Luna …. Luna was someone who …. Who knew how to care for others, even when she found her talent in music. She knew how to still be the same old caring and loving girl she was when I knew her."

The day she became my legal guardian, was the happiest moment of my young life and I knew she would be there for me through any troubles that get …. That get in our way." Lincoln starts to choke a little. "Years go by and we had a lot of ups and downs and at times, we even had small disputes. But that doesn't matter anymore. What matters, is that I …. I had a hell of a ….. Of a sister, who was more than a sister."

"Luna was like a mom to me, even better than the one who brought me into this world." Lincoln wipes away some tears. "Luna, she saved me ….. She prevented me from …. From a horrible demise, but ….. I couldn't …I couldn't save her!"

"Why? Why did you ….. Why did you have to go m-mom? Why?" Lincoln starts to break down on the spot and beg for Luna to come back. Sam and Jordan get up and they go over and help Lincoln back to his seat.

Lincoln sits next to Pop-pop and they both hug each other and cry, Sam and Jordan also join in this, Lincoln needed some people to support him. They know this is just the start of his deep grieving.

But there is one group who is seeing this and yet far from everyone, the loud family. All of them are crying and feeling the hard truth of their actions and to ensure they don't get their part in saying anything, the police and two detectives are with them, also they're in shackles as they attend this.

The parents are both feeling guilty for what they have brought onto the large family they wanted, they're third born daughter was gone and all she wanted to do was have their son as part of the family again. Rita on the other hand couldn't believe what Lincoln had said, he saw his sister as a better mother than she was.

The loud siblings on the other hand are all in deep conflict at what has happened. They all failed to allow Lincoln to be part of their family once more and have outcasted Luna from trying to reason with them. Lynn Junior looks around and sees everything that is happening in front of her, she wanted to blame Lincoln and his luck for starting this, but a large part of her could see, that there is no such luck.

'I …I should've stopped this, why did I have to believe that bullshit luck?!' Lynn sheds some tears, knowing that the family is going to be separated and Lincoln will be forever heartbroken.

(An hour later.)

After everything has been said and all the prayers to the lord, it was time for the burial. Lincoln, Sam and everyone else watches as the coffin of Luna is being lowered into the ground, and as it lays down there Lincoln sheds tears and slowly walks towards it.

Sam notices this and hugs him from behind while also stopping him. "No, no. Please. Luna, I ….. I don't want you to go, mom. Please, let me …. Let me join you, please!" Pop-pop also uses his arm to stop Lincoln from advancing any further and both Pop-pop and Sam knew, he was in the state of deep conflict and possibly suicidal intentions.

'I'm his new legal guardian now, I have to keep an eye on him and not let him take his life. That's not what Luna would want.' Sam hugs him tightly and she turns him around and Lincoln cries and hugs her back. "I got you Lincoln, I got you."

Soon, Lincoln and Sam watch as Luna's coffin is buried in dirt, six feet below them. Lincoln cries and closes his eyes. "Goodbye mom, goodbye Luna. I love you."

Lincoln and Sam are about to go and leave along with the others, then Lincoln looks to his right and he sees the people he once called family, the louds. The very same family that caused all of this, the ones who killed Luna, and that sparked a deep hatred within the boy. He then looks to Lynn Jr.

Lincoln breaks free from Sam and tries to attack the loud family, but Jordan and Clyde hold him back. Lincoln thrashes as he tries to break free. "Let me go! Let me go! Let me kill them! This is their fault! I hate them all!"

Sam then goes over and pulls him into a hug and he tries to break free from her. "Lincoln, please stop! This …… We know what they did, don't take things into your own hands please. Luna wouldn't want this."

Lincoln stops struggling and he just cries onto Sam's chest and he hugs her tightly. Everyone sees this and feels sorry for the boy. They all gather around Sam and Lincoln, then they look to the loud family. They all vast glares at them for what they have done.

The louds could see that all of their friends, loved ones and family are now against them. They can already tell, they have lost the fight, the battle and the war and they are inbound for a long, long time in jail.

(1 Week later.)

The louds have been given one hell of a sentence. A long awaited jail time for the older ones but they have to go through juvie first and the others are sent to reform school, the heavy duty and strict kind. But with these punishments the people of Royal Woods demanded more, or better yet something brutal and worse.

So, for their safety (Even though they don't want them to be safe) they transfer the loud family out of the state and across the whole nation, they separated them from each other, including the twins. None of them are to make contact for a long, long time.

Lincoln was now adopted by the Sharp family, he at times interacts with the parents and hasn't bothered to call them mom and dad yet, the Sharp parents understand that he's still grieving over the loss of his sister/mother.

Lincoln seems to spend some good quality time with Simon and Sam, but at some point the very thought of hanging out with the two people he seems to truly trust sometimes brings back memories of Luna, and he ends up breaking down and crying.

They all managed to get the things the louds sold back to the white-haired boy. Lincoln got his stuffed Rabbit Bun-Bun, his laptop, his clothes, his school things and everything else.

Clyde and his pals come over to see if he wants to hang out. But he doesn't wanna be around them, even the very presence of Jordan Rosato wasn't making him budge out of the Sharp house. A lot of people were there for him, to help him.

But even with all of that, it was all not enough to make him happy or get over things. So, he intends to make things right.

One night, everyone is fast asleep and Lincoln walks down the stairs quietly and he goes into the kitchen. 'I can't do this, I can't do this anymore. This …. This is eating me from the inside and out. The nightmares, the pain. I don't want this, I can't do this anymore.'

Lincoln grabs the knife from the cabinet and he looks to the window and the moon shining onto him. 'Mom, I'm coming home. I love you, so, so much.'

Lincoln uses both his hands to make the knife point to his chest and he closes his eyes and he thrusts it into his chest, but then someone stops him. "No, don't do it Lincoln. Please."

Lincoln opens his eyes, he knows that voice, a voice he thought he would never hear again for a long, long time. Right there, in front of him, holding the knife away and placing it onto the kitchen counter.

Luna Loud, she doesn't look like one of those angels in white clothing, instead she is wearing a white shirt, purple jacket and black knee ripped jeans, purple boots and with crescent shaped earrings and her signature choker.

Lincoln is stunned in place at what he sees. "L-Luna …. M-Mom?"

Luna smiles. "Hey there kiddo, It's been a while hasn't it?"

Lincoln touches her hands, and then he hugs her tightly and cries into her chest. "Mom …. Mom ….. Mom, it's you. It is you. Y-You're here, you-you're actually here! I missed you!"

Luna hugs him tightly. "I missed you too buddy, I missed you so, so much sweet child of mine." Luna sheds tears as she hugs him close to her.

They stay like this for a few good minutes and they then break from the hug and look to each other. "Lincoln, I know you miss me and I miss you too and I would do anything to be here by your side. But, I can't be here, well not for long."

Lincoln sheds some tears and is confused. "B-But, I miss you mom and …. And I don't want you to g-go. Please, please don't leave me again. I ….. I don't …. I can't do this with-without you!"

Luna wipes away his tears. "Lincoln, I know you feel this pain and it hurts me just to see you go through it. But you cannot just go around and kill yourself just to be with me. You may see I am no longer with you, but you're wrong. I'll always be with you, I'll always be watching over you even when I'm not around. I'll be there, always. Don't let my demise be your moment of unholy things, live your life and with the ones you love, including the Jordan girl."

Lincoln chuckles and blushes.

Luna chuckles at how cute he was when he was nervous. "Linky, I will always be by your side and I will be there to help you feel better, along with Sam. She will be your legal guardian and your new mother figure, and with the rest of the Sharps as your family. One day, one day we will meet again, for when the time comes."

Luna touches his cheek and Lincoln uses his hand to touch her hand and close his eyes and shed some tears. "Mom, I love you so much!"

Luna kisses his forehead and pulls him into one last hug. "You were the best thing to have ever come to my life, and I am honored to have been the greatest thing to be there for your life, I love you Lincoln, always."

Lincoln knows it was time, he hugs her tightly and smiles. "I love you too mom, always." He then stops crying and whispers. "Goodbye Luna, I will always treasure the moments we had."

They break from the hug and look onto each other. Luna smiles as she slowly fades. "And I will treasure what we had, forever and ever baby." Soon, she was gone.

Lincoln sighs and looks in his hands. The silver necklace from Luna, a crescent shaped silver locket and inside is the picture of when Luna first held her baby brother. Lincoln smiles seeing this, this is the last memento from Luna, the last piece of the love she showed to him but not as a brother, but like a son.

"Lincoln." He turns and sees Sam. She saw all of it and she too has tears. She goes towards the boy and they both share in a tearful and yet happy embrace.

"It's okay, it's gonna be okay Lincoln. She'll always be with us, always" replied Sam with tears as she hugs the boy.

Lincoln hugs Sam tightly and smiles as he has tears as well. "I know, I know she will ……. Mom." Sam is shocked he would call her that, but deep down she was touched he would see her like that. Luna did it, she helped him.

Lincoln was finally healed, thanks to Luna.

(Another week later.)

Lincoln is now healed from his trauma and is spending some quality time at the park with Sam and Simon. "This is nice" said Lincoln as he eats his hotdog.

"Yeah, so nice and peaceful. Brings back memories doesn't it?" asked Sam.

Lincoln chuckles. "Yeah, good memories. Memories I intend to keep with me for a long, long time."

"At least your no longer in trauma Lincoln" replied Simon as he eats his hotdog. "We'll be the best of siblings, all of us together."

Lincoln ruffles Simon's hair. "You know we will little bro. gotta admit, sure is cool to have a little brother to be there for, and I'll be the best big bro to you."

Simon smiles. "Thanks Lincoln."

Sam smiles seeing this and for a small brief moment she feels as if she saw a little bit of Luna within Lincoln. She smiles seeing how close the boy was with both of them, sitting between Sam and Simon, is a boy who might just be as great of a big sibling as Luna.

Sam can see that and she knows it's going to be great for all of them. She looks to the sky. 'Until the day comes, I will always keep that promise you told me Luna. I will watch over your little brother, like he was my child, or better yet our child.'

They share a few laughs and soon enough they were joined by Clyde and Jordan, in which Jordan leans onto his shoulder and he pulls her closer and they all chuckle a bit from this. This was a good memory, to help Lincoln look past the pain and loss and look forward to a better and brighter future.

(Nighttime.)

Lincoln had finished using the bathroom and he enters the room he's in, it neighbors Simons. He then walks to the window and looks to the moon shining down onto him. He looks onto the necklace and he puts it around his neck.

Lincoln then sits onto his bed and looks to the moon once more. "Goodnight mom, I miss you so much but I know you'll always be in my heart and I know you'll always be watching over me and this life I will live on, for you. I love you Luna, always."

Lincoln gets into bed and he gets comfortable and sleeps. Unknown to him, a translucent figure tearfully smiles and leans in and kisses his cheek. "Goodnight my child, goodnight Linky."

The figure then fades away. "Luna loves you, always."

The End.

A/N: Thank you to my good friend, BrenTheNewFan2020 for this new "What If" scenario.

And I know some of you A-Hole out there are going to criticize this, including that said person who always makes a comeback onto my story/stories. I don't give a s* about lady De* and what she has to review to me, screw you! This "What If" scenario is beautiful!

From the words of Daithi de Nogla from Gmod: " F* off! "
