Chapter 1 - Died and Gone to Hell
Here's a new story, I hope you enjoy it.
It was an average day at the Loud family home. Lana and Lola were fighting, for what reason? ... They forgot about an hour ago, they were just fighting at the point because they wanted the other to apologize.
Lola: You Say Sorry!
Lola was more worn out than Lana was at this point.
Lana: No Way!! You Apologize!
Lana was also tired from the fighting, but not as much as Lola. The two tumbled around, knocking a lot of things over in their path. Until Lori got sick of the noise and picked the two up like a cat would her kittens.
Lori: I don't care if either of you apologizes or not, but interrupt my video chat with Bobby one more time, and I'll be using both of you to make a double pretzel knot!
Lori dropped the pair and they ran away to continue their spout elsewhere.
Lana ran over to Lisa's room, opening the door without even thinking of knocking.
Lana: Hey, Lisa, where's the keys to your bunker? Lisa?
Lana saw Lisa, in a state of full sleep-deprived delirium, trying to pick up a beaker of some lime green fluid, but in her delirious state, she was grabbing everything BUT the beaker.
She looked awful to boot, bags that looked like they could hold a small melon and she was saying something but it was more slurred than a speech from an Irish man after his favorite team won a big game.
Lana: Guys! Lisa was late-night experimenting... Again!
Upon hearing that, the other siblings stopped and put down what they were doing to see Lisa in her bad state.
Lori: (annoyed) Ugh! Okay! You guys know the drill. Lincoln, put Lisa to bed. Girls, help me put away all this stuff.
Lincoln picked up Lisa while the girls started putting away the many glasses and chemistry equipment that Lisa had away.
Lana then looked at the beaker she saw Lisa trying to grab.
Lana: So what do we do with this? Can't just throw it out or just put it away. Unless we want those
Luna put a laptop under Lisa's bed as Lincoln waited behind her to put the smartest Loud to bed.
Luna: Well, what was she trying to do with it, little dude?
Lana: (shrugs) She was just trying to pick it up, I think she was saying something but I'd have a better time understanding German than the noises she was making.
Lori: Well, I don't want an explosion to happen while Mom and Dad are visiting Pop-pop with Lily. So we'll just ask Lisa if we can even understand her that is.
Luan then lightly shook Lisa to wake her up slightly, which Lincoln had just put to bed.
Luan: Hey, Lisa? What do we do with that chemical?
Lisa: In't lat hea mextora nii y hot sorfyca, kaap et ary cild. Esspaceyllu, mecriwyva rydeytein!
As Lisa flopped back into her bed, Lori stood there with a look that spoke for her, "I knew that was the answer I was going to get but I'm still upset about it."
Luna: Dude, all I got out of... Whatever that was. Was the word 'Hot'. So do we put it on some heat?
Luna scratched her head as she attempted to understand Lisa's scrambled speech.
Lincoln: I'm pretty sure that chemicals are supposed to be kept cold.
Lucy: (makes her presence known and scares the siblings) Maybe it needs to be heated then cooled?
Luan: Maybe.
Luan scratched her head before glancing at the Bunsen Burner.
Luan: Maybe, we older siblings should do it with this?
Lori: Yeah, but we aren't using the Bunsen Burner. Leni would forget something and set fire to something.
Leni gave an ashamed nod.
Lori: Luna has a habit of turning dials to the max, so she might turn up the heat too much.
Luna nodded but showed no shame in that fact.
Lori: No one here trusts Luan with anything dangerous cause of April Fools.
Luan: Come on! I got better about it!
Luna: (venomous) You nearly hit me with a car, dude.
Luan nervously laughed, before gaining an ashamed look on her face.
Lori: Lynn would think the burner, 'wasn't hot enough', and do the same thing Luna would.
Lynn looked offended by the accusation but quickly remembered that she had done that same thing in Chemistry Class, which she has failed multiple times as a result.
Lori: Lincoln... He's a maybe, he's both the least likely to do something stupid, but also the most likely.
Lincoln: Hey!
Lincoln then took that Lori never mentioned herself.
Lincoln: ... Wait what about you?
Lynn: Maybe it's because she sucks at all forms of cooking!
Luna: Yeah, like the time she tried to make dinner! She burnt instant mashed potatoes! Instant mashed potatoes! All you have to do is add milk and butter and let it simmer!
Lori: (growling) Was looking at my phone!
Luan: (sarcastic) Which is TOTALLY something you should be doing when cooking, this is why we let Linc or Lola cook when Dad isn't home. They rival Dad's place, you're not even close to 10th.
Lincoln and Lola shined with pride at their superior cooking skills to their siblings. Lana ran downstairs and quickly back up with the microwave.
Lana How about we just use this?
Lori Whatever gets this over with sooner. I've missed enough time with my boo-boo bear!
Lori took the beaker and put it in the microwave as soon as Lana plugged it up. Once she place it in she set the timer to 1 minute, thinking that should be good.
Suddenly, Lisa's alarm went off, a robotic arm came from the ceiling with a packet of smelling salts, it cracked open the packet and held it near Lisa's nose. Causing her to jolt up, now fully awake due to the effects of smelling salts.
Lisa: I AM AWAKE!!!
Lisa immediately looked at where her beaker was before she fell asleep.
Lisa: Where is my mixture!?
Lincoln: Calm down Lisa, we're taking care of it so you can sleep.
Lisa:(sighs in relief) Ah, that's good, so what are you doing- (hears the microwave's humming) What is that?
Lincoln: Lori wouldn't let us heat your chemical so we're using a microwave.
Lisa: You're heating it?! And using a microwave?!
Lisa leaped from her bed and ran over to the microwave, to her shock and dismay, the mixture inside was glowing and bubbling.
Lisa: Oh no...
*THOOOOOOMMM!!!*
In a flash of bright light and a deafening explosion, an entire room of the Loud House was blown to nothing, along with the nearby rooms on the same floor, and even some of the rooms below. After about 10 minutes Police Cars, Ambulances, and Fire Trucks came on the scene.
[Timeskip: 10 Minutes Later]
Rita and Lynn Sr. were driving back to their home with Lily in the backseat after hearing an explosion from across town. they came to their street, to find police and fire department in front of their house, with now put out remains of their home. Rita got out of the van, almost while it was still moving, with Lynn Sr. getting Lily out of the van.
Rita: Oh my god, what happened?!
Officer: Are you Mr. and Mrs. Loud?
Lynn Sr.: (walks up with Lily in his arms) Yes.
Officer: Parents of Lori, Leni, Luna, Luan, Lynn, Lincoln, Lucy, Lola, Lana, and Lisa Loud?
Rita: Yes.
Officer: (takes off his hat) You may want to sit down.
Lynn Sr. and Rita sat on their porch as the officer rubbed his head, clearly worried about something.
Officer: I'm sorry to say this, but the children I listed off are dead.
Rita's eyes began to tear up upon hearing that, Lynn Sr. just went into pure shock.
Officer: The explosion that destroyed your home, also took the lives of those ten kids. All we could find were personal items... And pieces of body parts... A cellphone burnt to a crisp, a melted pair of white sunglasses, 2 burnt white belts, a melted prank flower, the cleats of a pair of cleated shoes, the remains of a comic book, a destroyed poem book, the burnt remains of a red cap, a melted tiara, and the broken remains of a pair of glasses. There's more, but it isn't something that should be said in front of a child. (puts his hat back on) I'll leave you three alone to mourn your loss.
The officer walked away and the Loud matriarch cried into her hands. Lynn Sr. looked down at his last remaining child and held her close as she started to cry as Rita did. The look of shock was still evident on his face.

(Location: The Void, Moments Before the explosion)
The Void, an empty place but an important one. Connected to all planes of existence via special & labeled portals, from Earth to Catholic Heaven, Protestant Heaven, Hell, and many other places of various religions. Skeletons in cloaks were watching over orbs that were coming out of the portal to Earth and shooting through Pneumatic tubes (or capsule pipelines) before stopping at a desk.
A large skeleton sitting at a desk picked orb after orb up and examined it before putting it in the hand of a skeleton waiting in front of him. His desk had a business name plaque on it that read, "Grem Reaper of the Reaper family. Death and Soul Judge". Grem picks up an orb called a Soul and looks over it.
Grem (pronounced; Grrr-um): (turning the Soul) Jack Edison. Protestant. Sinner for rape on under-aged boys. Fate; Hell.
Grem hands the Soul over to a skeleton and it walks over to the portal labeled, "Hell". Placing the soul in a tube, letting it get shot into the portal to Hell, then getting back in line as Grem picked up another Soul.
Grem: (turning the soul) Mal Donado. Buddhist. Sinner but had given up all earthy possessions to achieve enlightenment. Fate; Reincarnation.
Grem was about to hand the Soul to the skeleton when they noticed that the skeleton was a new one.
Grem: 108! (pronounced; One Zero Eight)
A skeleton stood up, it was working at a desk with the business name plaque that said, "108. Buddhism Soul Supervisor".
108: Yes sir?
Grem: This employee is new, I doubt he knows what to do with a Soul that belongs to Buddhism. Show them.
108:(nods) Yes sir!
108 lead the skeleton away from the desk as Grem continued their job.
108: Tell me, what do you know about these portals?
Skeleton: Each leads to a different plane of existence, however, one mustn't simply toss the soul into them. Doing so causes the soul to be reincarnated as a being of that realm. They must be sent through the Portal Pneumatic tube system to prevent reincarnation.
108: Good, one thing though. A small but important rule, anyone that who is to be reincarnated can't keep their memories and experiences. Don't know why it's just a rule.
108 then showed its employee to a creature that was confined in a pure white bubble. It was a completely black creature that had four arms eight eyes and had no legs. Its other features changed constantly.
108: This guy is how we get rid of those memories.
Skeleton: What is this thing?
The creature hit the bubble causing the skeleton to jump.
108: It's a Void Entity, last of its kind and for good reason, it can erase things. Touch it without protection and you'll cease to exist. It's not instant though, the longer one touches it, the more they'll forget, until the person themselves no longer exists and is completely forgotten. We're not affected by this thanks to these Cloaks, it can't affect us.
108 took the Buddhist Soul and stuck it into the bubble, where the Void Entity chomped down on it. Their hand was protected by a magic barrier produced by the cloak. After about 3 minutes passed, 108 pressed a nearby switch, and a machine inside the Void Entity's mouth forced it open. 108 then pulled out a completely colorless Soul as compared to before when it was a pale orange.
108: And like that, we have a completely clean soul, don't leave it in for more than 3 minutes, otherwise it'll absorb the soul completely.
Skeleton: What happens if it's absorbed.
108: All the events that the Soul lived through will be erased. As if they never existed in the first place.
108 pressed the button again and the Void Entity's mouth was released and allowed to shut again. It watched as the skeletons walked away. Then 10 souls came from the Earth portal. In order, their colors were; Cyan, Sea-foam Green, Purple, Yellow, Red, Orange, Black, Pink, Blue, and Green, but the Void Entity only had its many eyes on two, the Orange and Black ones. It saw something in those two that wasn't like the many Souls it's seen. Inside them was immense darkness, the Black Soul that was generating darkness, the Orange Soul withheld all of that darkness, there were even a few demons trapped inside the Orange Soul.
Then the Void Entity began ramming its head against the bubble, causing a small crack. Then using its four arms, it rapidly beat on the bubble until it broke open. Upon leaving the bubble, the Void Entity grew in size, from first being the size of a small dune buggy to the size of a 2-story house. This of course set off an alarm, Grem and several other skeletons, now armed with chains and scythes.
Grem: Team 2 is readying a new bubble to trap the Void Entity and Team 3 is closing the portals! Team 1, keep it away from the portals! Just one Void Entity can destroy entire realms! That's how the Earth realm lost 7 of its planets! And Earth lost the Dinosaurs before it was stopped!
The skeletons charged and the Void Entity swiped through them. In the portal area, a Skeleton with the business name plaque that read, "7. Christianity Soul Supervisor" on its desk was turning keys slowly. At the same time, the portals were closed, only one was left, the portal to Hell.
7: Okay, just gotta close the portal to Hell.
Skeleton: Hold on!
7 looked to see a skeleton holding the ten Souls that had riled up the Void Entity.
Skeleton: We still got ten Protestant souls bound for Heaven! We need to reopen the portals to get them out of here!
7: Opening and closing the portals are two very different things, opening them is very loud, and if that thing here's it. It'll attack us to get through! (spots something flying at them) Look out!
Suddenly another skeleton hit the skeleton holding the souls, causing him to drop them. Seeing the Souls on the floor, the Void Entity charged at the Souls, Grem dashed past it and scooped up 9 of the 10 Souls, missing 1 Soul, the Orange Soul as it was grabbed by the Void.
Grem: Dammit!
The Void Entity tossed the soul into its mouth and began gnawing at it.
7: Sir, what do we do, we can't open the portals while the Void Entity is loose!
Grem looked at the Souls then at the one portal left, Grem then tossed the Souls into the Hell portal, not using the tubes they were bound for reincarnation.
Skeleton: Sir?! What The Hell!? Why The Hell?!
Grem: I'd prefer the Souls to be reincarnated in a place then devoured and erased forever. I'm ready to take the flak from the higher-ups if it means saving just 1 Soul. Now get ready to close the portal to Hell! As soon as the Orange Soul is through, shut it!
7:(inspired) Yes Sir!
7 went back over to its desk, and closing the portal halfway and waiting for Grem to save the last Soul. Grem charged at the same time, they looked to where the Void Entity was being held, where a now beat up 108 was standing, ready to push the same button from before.
Grem: Now!
108 pressed the button, a beep came from inside the Void Entity's mouth, followed by the same machine that opened its mouth before forcing its jaw open. The piston machine that open it fell out due to the Void Entity's increased size, Grem held its maw open with his scythe.
Grem: Sorry, but mealtime is over!
Grem then ripped out the Orange Soul from its mouth, taking a few teeth with it as they became stuck like loose teeth to tough candy. Its Orange color had been nearly consumed, now only about 20% remained. Grem grimaced but leaped away from the Void Entity, quickly tossing the Soul to the Skeleton near the portal, who tossed it in right away. The Void Entity was beyond pissed, not only did it have the darkness within that Soul taken from it, it just lost a few teeth with it. The Void Entity let out an enraged roar before getting hooked around the neck by a chain.
Skeleton: PULL!!!
Hundreds of Skeletons behind the chain began pulling, Grem and many other skeletons hooked more chains around it, to restrain it. 7 then finally closed the portal to Hell, leaving no exit for the Void Entity to take. The Void Entity roared in rage as it was quickly subdued.

(Location: Hell, The Pride Ring)
Suddenly, 9 sphere-like objects appeared from thin air and soon fell from the sky, hitting the ground with an earth-shaking impact. Followed by another sphere-like object, that landed much farther away. The 9 sphere's glowed brightly before taking shape... Living shape, they began to move of their own accord... Began thinking... Began remembering... Began questioning and arguing... Followed by fighting, first with words, then with fists... Before realizing it, one was missing.
With the orb that fell elsewhere. It took shape like the other 9, moving around, thinking, but it remembered only bits and pieces, and nothing made sense. It could only question itself.
???: Where am I... What am I... Who am I...?
To Be Continued...
