Gradius Louds

Takes place in the wake of Gradius 4 and a year before 5, the Louds were to participate in the Gradius Planetary Tour, as full fledged Gradius Pilots (aged up of course) But a familiar foe rears up and attacks the academy before the ceremony, and separates the sisters and Lincoln! Can Lincoln, Maggie and Clyde save them from the ills of the Bacterions, or will their first interplanetary mission be their last? (Maggicoln pairing, Maybe an OC or two...)

(NOW WITH A REVISED SUMMARY!)
