Lalnable Hector is the master clone of Duncan. He was first seen in YogLabs, then in Duncan and Kim's series, Flux Buddies. He had his own series with Specimen Five called Flux Baddies.
Appearance[]
Lalnable Hector looks very similar to Duncan, although he has red eyes and a ponytail. He wears a lab coat like Duncan's that appears to have bloodstains and contains a red pen. He wears goggles that are red (formerly blue), contrasting with the green ones that Duncan owns. Unlike Duncan, he is not contaminated with the Flux.
History[]
YogLabs[]
Lalnable was first seen in a glass cage, imprisoned over a deep pit.[1] Although Simon asked about him, Lewis gave no information except that he was a particularly dangerous clone.
In Flux Baddies episode #1[2], Lalnable revealed that he used to be the Head Cloning Specialist at YogLabs and was in charge of clone production when he created Lalna (Duncan). It's unknown as to why he was imprisoned in YogLabs, but Lewis mentioned that Lalnable killed more Testificates than Simon and had escaped imprisonment before. He has not been seen at YogLabs since.
Flux Buddies[]
Lalnable's lab was seen in episode #65[3] and was built during Flux Baddies. In episode 65, Duncan and Kim explored a secret base that was supposedly built by him. It was confirmed to be his lab, as a journal (mentioning the use of Testificates as a source of power) was signed by "Lalnable Hector". This secret base caused Kim to distrust Duncan momentarily as the base was under his old castle, however Duncan claimed to have no prior memories of this base.
Flux Buddies 2.0[]
In Flux Buddies 2.0, a clone of Duncan (possibly Lalnable himself) was first seen in episode #50[4] pretending to be Duncan. This Duncan was unable to remember what he was doing, killed and ate a Chocobo, and talked about killing dinosaurs before killing a baby velociraptor. When Kim asked him the "Secret Question", he answered incorrectly. Once Kim discovered that the Flux on this Duncan was fake, she made him drop the real Duncan's items and he fled the base. The real Duncan was then found in a Sky Stone meteorite, and they realised that the fake Duncan had stolen some of Kim's hair.[5]
In episode #55[6] Duncan and Kim found all the Chocobos (besides the golden ones) massacred. They followed a trail of blood to a fortified base, where they read a book stating that the false Duncan had been spying on them. The observation log reads:
- Day 1: Settled near the subjects. Observations will commence shortly.
- Day 4: Subject A has started investigating steam power.
- Day 12: Subjects have taken to the skies on steam powered devices. I will need to take care not to be spotted.
- Day 17: Subject B is playing with flowers. They seem to be harnessing them for power.
- Day 23: Subjects have began breeding interesting new animals, for food?
- Day 30: Subjects seem agitated at missing dinosaurs.. I must be more careful.
- Day 31: Relationship between subjects seems unclear. I will start planning my infiltration.
- Day 49: My master is getting impatient. I will have to go ahead with the plan tomorrow with incomplete preparation. Hopefully tomorrow we will have the sample.
- Day 51: Sample acquired but cover was dropped. Master wants me to send them a message… I am all too happy to oblige.
In episode #80[7], Kim found a creepy doll sitting on the fence by her Noodle Bar. She touched it and was able to see into a strange building. When Duncan looked through it he instead saw Lalnable (or the clone) staring back into the camera. Kim decided to burn it, and as she did it made a terrible screeching noise. They headed back to the clone's base (which they had earlier destroyed while weapons testing) and discovered a metal building nearby labeled "Your Local Butcher". They proceeded inside and found many incomplete clones of Kim in the basement. In the back, however, there was one missing from its tank - Specimen 5. They also recovered a specimen log, likely Lalnable or the clone's, that read:
- Specimen 1-A: Utter Failure. Sample too corrupted.
- Specimen 1-B: Failure. Bone structure failed to form in culture.
- Specimen 2-A: Failure. Bone structure seemed to be forming but then collapsed.
- Specimen 2-B: Failure. This specimen appears to have been corrupted by the Flux present in all the samples.
- Specimen 3-A: Failure. Progress is being made but a new sample will be needed soon.
- Specimen 3-B: Failure. This specimen is much further along this time. Sample is expended. Will need to collect more.
- Specimen 4-A: Utter failure. The new sample will arrive soon…
- Specimen 4-B: The new sample seems less corrupted than the last. I have high hopes.
- Specimen 4-C: Failure. I am getting close...
- Specimen 5: Success. Field testing will commence at once. What a lovely day!
In episode #107[8] Lalnable appeared armed with a Nether Bellows and an explosive projectile launcher. He observed Kim and Duncan from the outskirts of the Flux Buddies base with a Spyglass, and later exploded a section of Nano's Noodle Bar. He then stole Tiddles, set various buildings on fire, and threatened to kill Billy the penguin if they didn't tell him where Specimen 5 (trapped by Duncan[9]) was located. Kim was able to grab a taglock from Lalnable during this but eventually gave in, telling him where Specimen 5 was (the Nether portal meteorite). Lalnable saved Specimen 5, exploded Kim's Botania building which killed Billy in the process, then fled from the base. Duncan chased Lalnable for a short while, but to no avail.
In episode #119[10], Duncan and Kim used a Rite of Summoning to summon Lalnable and retrieve Tiddles back from him. During the ensuing fight, Lalnable let Tiddles out of the lasso, killed her, and escaped from the obsidian arena by using a Staff of Traveling. He then vanished and was not seen again.
In episode #163[11], Kim infiltrated Lalnable and Specimen 5's base by sneaking past security lasers. She then proceeded to imitate Specimen 5 in order to get information out of Lalnable (who was working on a Time Gate from the Time Cops series) in regards to the machine he was working on. Lalnable told her that "If we don't get this Time Gate up and running in [3] days, this is all gonna go wrong". He then became irritated by her questions and ordered her leave. Kim escaped afterwards, triggering the security lasers and giving her infiltration away.
In episode #168[12], Kim and Duncan again entered the base of Lalnable and Specimen 5. After barely avoiding werewolves and heading into the living quarters, they read diary entries and lab reports. Duncan found the password to get into the computer, then obtained the self-destruct password for the base. After entering the password into the self-destruct mechanism, Duncan and Kim confronted Lalnable and Specimen 5 in the Time Gate room. Lalnable stated that Kim was "the fool" he spoke about in his lab reports, and claimed that Duncan is his clone rather than vice versa. Lalnable and Specimen 5 escaped through the Time Gate, and Duncan and Kim, unable to stay due to the base's inevitable destruction, reluctantly jumped in after them.
Flux Baddies[]
In Flux Baddies, Lalnable appears as the main protagonist along with Specimen 5. Read More...
Flux Buddies 4[]
At the end of episode #16[13], Lalnable and Five travel to the correct time period and find the Flux Buddies' new base. Upon closer inspection, Lalnable notices the Shoggoth ooze spreading from the cathedral and becomes uncharacteristically excited. Rather than track down the Flux Buddies, he decides that they should instead wait and watch as the corruption spreads.
Near the end of Episode #16 Five decides to leave a sign infront of the Cathedral, which reads ‘WE’RE WATCHING YOU’, to scare them, which it succeeds only a tad. They’re not seen much of again Until Episode #28.
In episode #28, The baddies are currently inhabiting Lalna’s Tower, which was constructed once he lost Nano temporarily in the events before/after Crazy Craft and Wizard school. The Flux Buddies have went off to finally find a cure for the flux and the Shoggoth Ooze in the Dark World and to confront Mother, leaving the tower unoccupied and thus, they take over. To the normal world and the Baddies, the Flux Buddies have been gone for ‘Weeks’, but in the Dark world the Buddies can see the two have moved in.
Inside the tower, Lalnable and Five have access to All of Lalna’s magic and equipment and resources, seemingly thrilled by the new stack of riches they now possess. They also seem to treat Tiddles with more attention and scold The Buddies for treating her bad.
Once the Flux Buddies make it to Mother, in an effort to kill her and stop her plans of using Nano for world domination, the two decide to seek help from the Baddies, Lalnable and Five, with a letter to help them make a Nuke, similar to the one in the Volts Episode #12 series.
It reads:
‘Dear Lalnable and Specimen Five, We need your help. The universe as we know it neesd your help. We have found the cause of the Flux- an Eldritch Being called Mother. She lives in the Dark Realm, and has spent years trying to break through to our world.
She is the reason Nano is fluxed…she infected Nano years ago, and has been using her as a way to invade our world. We are stuck here in the Dark Realm, and Mother intends to possess Nano entirely and break through, destroying everything.
She mentioned Five… how Five is an abomination because she’s free of Mother’s control. Maybe she lost the link when you cloned her? We are building a nuke to try and destroy Mother. But we are missing the following key ingredients.
There is a weird link between where we are and where you are. We can see how you’ve moved into my Wizarding Tower, and we think if you put these things in this chest, we’ll be able to get them here in the Dark realm.
Industrial Grinder
Uranium Ore
Uranium 238
Plutonium
Industrial TNT
2 x Hazmat Suits
We know you don’t like us. But we need to put that behind us for now. Otherwise there will be no world left for you to hate us in. You’ve seen the Cathedral. It’s just the beginning of what Mother can and will do.
We… I’m sorry. I’m sorry for whatever I’ve done to hurt you. Please help us.
Lalna and NanoSounds.’
As reading the last two pages, the Baddies Laugh, amused by the touching words and poking fun at them. As they think it over, The Baddies are reluctant to assist the Buddies, thinking of ways of how to stop Mother and screw the others over. Then, looking at the ruined Cathedral, Hector seems to reconsider, not for the sake of the Buddies but rather his own worries of what Mother can do.
Also for a possible discount at a coffee shop.
They come to the conclusion to help, sending them the necessary ingredients requested, not to help, but to make sure Mother is properly defeated and gain the titles of Badass and hopefully secure the Buddies completely in the ‘Hell dimension’, out of sight and out of mind to ‘mock and get them.’
The first bomb didn’t succeed, prompting Nano to send one more note to the Baddies, asking their help once more. Nano herself has a letter for Five, a private letter it seems.
It reads:
‘Five…
I think I understand you now. I understand our connection. I understand that you are free from Mother, and live without her gaze upon you. I have become a part of her. I am a part of her whole. All because of that If I’m right…our plan won’t work…unless I…unless…well. You can figure it out.
If I have to do what I think I have to do…please look after Lalna. I know you both hate him, but you are the only person left who I know will understand.
I wish I could’ve gotten to know you better. Maybe, under different circumstances, we could’ve been friends. Maybe even sisters.
Live a good life, Five. For both of us.
-NanoSounds.’
When they return back, there is a new sign at the chest which reads ‘HURRY UP, NERDS’ which contains the ingredients needed to end it once and for all.
Once Mother is defeated, Five is cleaned of the Flux. The two go around, claiming the victory over Mother from the Buddies and seemingly are having a grand time. Hector seems concerned over Five, asking her if she feels okay and keeping an eye on her. Five states her head is a lot clearer, her body isn’t sticky and all in all, okay.
As they walk up the tower, they continue to speak about a ‘Her’. That her, is revealed to be a new clone of Nano, created by Hector, with help from Five. This clone seems to have her memories, the only words heard from her is ‘Lalna(Duncan)?’
The series ends with a classic, 'The End?'.
Other Appearances[]
- Lalnable has also been mentioned in the first episode of Zoey's Beyond Mushbury series. When the ship did a scan for life, there were four or five Duncans found, one of them looking quite corrupt.
- In episode #39 of the Yogscast's "Shadow of Israphel" at about 3:37, there is a cloning machine with what appears to be a zombie re-textured as Duncan. This may have been one of Lalnable's early attempts at cloning, and the technology and structure of the machine there is nearly identical to the ones he built in Yoglabs and in his own lab.
Personality[]
A highly sadistic and savage version of Duncan's own personality, and with a lack of empathy mirroring that of a sociopath. As a sadist, he enjoys violence and is prone to random and even accidental slaughter and acts of violence. Lalnable has also admitted that he lived in an abusive home, and at one point killed his own mother after being pushed too far. He may have had no friends, which could be the reason why he is obsessed with clones. His rage against Duncan may be the result of jealousy, as Duncan may have had a more successful upbringing than Lalnable. Lalnable has been known to manipulate people, show no remorse for animals, and have nearly no time to create real affection for others.
Relationships[]
Allies:
- Master: Although it is unknown who they are, Lalnable works for, with or is them. (Depends if diary belonged to Lalnable or his clone minion)
- Specimen 5: Lalnable is her creator and rescues her from the Flux Buddies. He treats Specimen 5 as a trusted colleague, close friend, and sometimes minion. She has a habit of calling Lalnable "boss", although this is more of a nickname than anything.
Enemies:
- YogLabs: Previously an employee, and at one point a prisoner.
- Duncan: Lalnable's clone, enemy after Lalnable attacked the Flux Buddies base. In the finale of Flux Buddies 2.0, it is revealed that Lalnable is the original and Duncan is the clone. It is unknown if this is true, as it may have just been fuel for Lalnable's sadistic entertainment.
- Kim: Enemy after attacking her, stealing her hair and killing Billy.
Unknown:
- KirinDave and his fellow Vampires: They have attacked the Flux Buddies, and Dave used a Mystic Branch to send Kim to the Torment dimension, where she was taunted by Specimen 5. In episode #167 of Flux Buddies 2.0 it is discovered that Lalnable was holding their coffins hostage and forcing them to do his bidding.
Abilities & Powers[]
Seems to be an incredibly capable scientist, as he was able to clone Kim even though her DNA was tainted by the Flux. He also has access to powerful weapons, including a rocket launcher, a flame thrower and a chemical gun. He has jet boots and a jetpack which he uses to fly, and some sort of mechanism for turning invisible when damaged. Later in his own series he shows moments of well-planned manipulation and lying.
Trivia[]
- Name possibly based on Hannibal Lecter from the movie Silence of the Lambs, and his name is a slightly edited version of Hannibal Lecter's with some letter differences with the first letters of the first and last name swapped around. His name appears to be a play on words, as "Lalna" is Duncan's true name. However, Lalnable claims that Duncan stole the first five letters of his own name.
- It is unknown how he escaped YogLabs, or if the Lalnable seen in Flux Buddies is the same one Simon saw in YogLabs.
- Duncan has expressed a theory in which the clone who impersonated him was different from the Lalnable that attacked them, with the first possibly being Lalnable's minion. However, the impersonator did display the same violent tendencies that Lalnable seems to also have. Because there were no signs of another clone in Lalnable's bases, this theory is unproven.
- It is implied that Duncan and Kim do not know that Dr. Lalnable Hector originated from YogLabs.
- Lalnable Hector's Minecraft username is 'Lalnable_Hector_' as 'Lalnable_Hector' was taken by someone else.
- A possible explanation for Lalnable's belief that he is the original Duncan could be that he is the Duncan from Hole Diggers Inc. and was driven insane by the Black Hole.
- It is possible that the Duncan in the sealed cage from Yoglabs Hypercubed was regarded as dangerous by Lewis due to Lalnable being the one originally sealed up in the container. The sign hanging above Duncan's head literally states "WARNING: DANGEROUS CRIMINAL DO NOT RELEASE", however the Duncan found in the Reflecting Pool had a red pen in his shirt in a similar fashion to Lalnable's, suggesting that this Duncan might be Lalnable before he went insane. Throughout the series, Lewis seems to reference to this Duncan as a criminal multiple times, and after being distracted by Simon, ends his and Duncan's conversation with "I'll deal with you later" in an angry tone. These theories are still unproven.
Quotes[]
- "Burn!"
- "Don't fuck with me!"
- "I have to admit, I am impressed that you got this far."
- "Oh, no no no no, I'm the original, you are the failed clone."
- "Ahh, my feets!"
- "You can't kill me!!! I'm Lalnable fucking Hector!!!"
