"We need to contain this thing!"

"This whole facility is on lockdown!"

"Something's coming through!"

A scientist ran for his life through the hall of a secret facility. Red flickering warning lights flooded the halls.

The scientist looked back to see the creature that was fallowing him, he screamed in terror.

He nearly reached the elevator when something rushed past him. The man stopped. He stood in the hall for a few seconds, then his head fell off.

...

Lincoln Loud got out of bed with a feeling of great joy filling his body.

"Well today is a very special day." Lincoln said, he pointed to a calendar on his wall. "Because today is the last day of school!"

Lincoln got his clothes on and hurried to the bathroom.

"HEY LINCOLN!" His sister Luna said, bursting out of her bedroom door just before Lincoln got to the bathroom. "Excited for your last day of school?"

"Heck yeah I am!" Lincoln said with a smile.

"A day this special should start with music!" Luna said taking out her guitar.

"Kick it then!" Lincoln said.

"Well you've worked so hard all year long." Luna sang. "And now the school year's over, so I'm singing this song.

No more pencils, no more book, no more teacher's dirty looks.

I'll spend my days rocking out and forget about the books."

Luan chimed in.

"During school, teachers say I'm disrupting class.

But for three whole months I can tell all the jokes I want, and they can kiss my..."

Lynn jumped in.

"cooped up inside all day.

I wanna go outside and play."

Soon all the loud siblings joined in singing.

Lana "I wanna play in the mud all day."

Lola "I wanna get all my stuffed animals and throw a parade."

Lori "Texting Bobby to my heart's content."

Lisa "don't you think there are areas, our time is better spent?"

Lynn "come on Lisa, don't be such a buzzkill"

Lucy "I just wanna sit in the shade, and write poems on a nice quiet hill"

Leni "I wanna go to the mall and live there till next fall."

Lily "abybygogo."

The siblings all started to laugh, and the song was done.

...

"While I don't quite see the point in summer break." Lisa said, as the line formed outside the bathroom. "I will appreciate the time to catch up on my astronomical studies. There's a meteor shower tonight night that I intend on studying."

"This is literally the most excited I've been in my entire life." Lori said.

"This year isn't an ordinary last day of school." Lincoln said the audience. "This year is something special. Lori's graduating from high school, Lynn's graduating from middle school. And I'm graduating from the fifth grade. And to celebrate our parents are taking us camping overnight in Royal Woods tomorrow. That's Royal Wood, the forest near town, not the town itself."

"Kids! Time for school!" Rita Loud called up to them.

...

For the last day of school, Royal Woods elementary put on a carnival for the students.

Lucy was immediately drawn to the haunted house. Which she came out of ten minutes later disappointed.

Lola and Lana started playing as many games as they could. They used the tickets they won to buy as much candy as they could eat.

"Hey, Clyde check it out!" Lincoln said, pointing out one of the games. "If we knock down those bottles, we can win free Ace Savvy and one-eyed Jack action figures."

Lincoln threw the ball, it bounced off of the back board and flew into the crowd.

"OUCH! Watch it!" Lola's voice cried out.

"Sorry Lola!" Lincoln yelled. "Clyde you take a turn while I see if Lola's alright."

...

"You ok Lola?" Lincoln ran over to his little sister. "I am so sorry."

"I'm fine." Lola rubbed her head. "You didn't hit me that hard. Hey, are you seeing that guy over there? He's kind of weird, I hope I'm not hallucinating."

"No, I see him too."

In the distance, just beyond the fence that marked the border of the school yard, a man stood. Lincoln couldn't make out exactly what he looked like, but his face was really pale, almost as if he was wearing a white mask.

He was just standing, watching.

"Uh go... see if you can find Lana." Lincoln said. "I uh... think she's over by the bumper cars. Then meet me back here?"

Lincoln told the nearest teacher about the creepy man stalking the playground. He went back to play with Clyde.

Lola came back with Lana.

Lincoln looked back to where the creepy guy was. The man was gone, and a couple police officers were searching the area.

"What's going on?" Lana asked. "Lola said some serial killer wants to murder us."

"No Lola just saw some guy stalking the playground." Lincoln said. "But I think he's gone now. See the police are here, they'll find him, don't worry."

"Well come on Lana." Lola said, feeling relieved that the creepy man was gone. "Let's watch Lincoln fail at this game."

"Oh yeah." Lincoln said. "Well watch this." He threw the ball. Again, it bounced off the backboard and flew past the group. Lola and Lana started to laugh at Lincoln. Then the ball bounced off of the Ferris wheel then bounced off of a flag pole and headed strait back to the stand and knocked down all the bottles.

Lola and Lana's jaws dropped.

"Man, with a plan." Lincoln smiled as the guy working the stand handed him the action figures.

"Yeah." The guy said. "Man, with a plan to get it on his fifth try."

"Lincoln Loud, please report to the principal's office immediately." Principle Huggins' voice came over the loud speaker.

"Ooooohhhh." Lola and Lana both said. "Lincoln's in trouble."

...

Lincoln got into the principle's office and his heart sank when he saw to police officers accompanying principle Huggins.

"Please take a seat." Huggins said.

"Am I in trouble?" Lincoln asked as he sat down. His heart fluttering.

"No of course not!" Huggins laughed. "These men need your help."

"They do?"

"Lincoln you reported a man stalking these playgrounds." One of the officers said. "We have received multiple reports of a stalker in Royal Woods. We just need to know what he looked like."

"Oh." Lincoln started. "Well I didn't get a good look at him. But he seemed about average height, and he was wearing a white mask."

"A white mask?"

"Yeah, like the one from that movie" Lincoln said. "The one that takes place on Halloween. With the killer in a white mask who stalks a babysitter and kills her friends. You know the one?"

"Halloween." The officer said.

"Yeah it took place on Halloween." Lincoln said.

"Yeah the movie was called Halloween." The officer informed him.

"Oh."

"Let's put out an APB on a man in a Michael Myers mask." The officer suggested to the other officer.

"But I said Halloween, not Shrek." Lincoln said.

The officer gave Lincoln a look. "Michael Myers is the name of the killer FROM Halloween."

"Oh." Lincoln said. "Well I didn't see the movie, I just heard about it, and saw the mask. Those movies scare me."

"Hey officers." Lincoln said, after a short pause. "Is it... you know... safe? I have a lot of little sisters, and I want to be sure they're safe."

"Don't worry son." The officer said. "We'll catch this guy, your sisters will be fine. But until we do, keep an eye out, don't wonder off on your own."

...

"Oh Lincoln." Huggins said before Lincoln left the room. "Don't forget, at the graduation ceremony we're giving out awards to the students. Funniest student, smartest student, and best friend. If you haven't voted for the winners, be sure to do so."

...

James Prawly was a car salesman in Royal Woods, and a dang good one too.

He was a somewhat short man. He had a round face, receding hairline, black hair and dark stubble on his face.

He had deep and raspy voice and a somewhat Scottish accent. Most customers found his voice soothing, this made them putty in his hands.

"Alright Mr. and Mrs. Fox do we have a deal?" Prawly said to his latest clients as he closed the deal.

The couple shook his hand.

"Well I can say I am looking forward to seeing you two drive away in your new car." Prawly said, with a smile. "And I'm sure your five darling children will love it."

Prawly liked to learn a bit about his customers, so their meetings felt more personal. If they believed he was their friend, they would be more likely to buy.

If only he had learned of his fate, the journey he would find himself on. How his fate would cross paths, with the Loud family.

...

At the end of the school day, the students all gathered in the gym for the graduation ceremony of the fifth graders. Well the fifth grade did, all lower grades got the heck out of there to enjoy their summer.

Rita and about half of the siblings attended the ceremony. Lynn Sr. and the other half went to Lynn Jr's eighth grade graduation. The parents had brought video cameras with to video tape each event.

A few students and teachers gave some speeches, then came time to hand out awards. As Huggins had pointed out to Lincoln, the awards were for Funniest student, smartest student, and best friend. Each award was voted on by the students.

Rusty won the award for funniest student, and Clyde won smartest.

"And the award for best friend goes to..." Huggins announced. "A student who has shown to be selfless, kind, and helpful whenever they could... Lincoln Loud!"

"Huh?" Lincoln was shocked he won. He wasn't even paying attention until he heard his name. Lincoln walked up on stage, confused and a bit embarrassed.

An award for best friend? He thought. I don't deserve this. I'm not a good friend. I'm selfish, irresponsible, I'm not even a good person, much less a good friend.

Huggins handed him the award.

"Thanks, but I... I... I don't... I don't deserve this." Lincoln said shily, his cheeks felt hot, and were turning pink.

"Well most of the fifth grade seems to think you do." Huggins said.

"Really? I don't know..." Lincoln said.

"just take the dang award so we can all go home." Huggins grumbled.

The three kids who won the awards then went back to their seats.

Lincoln held a metal in his hand, it had a depiction of a silhouette of a person and their friends. This was the first thing Lincoln had won in his entire life, besides the "most improved brother" award his sisters gave him. Of course, this time he deeply believed he had not earned this award. All the times he's lied and gotten angry at his friends. Would a true best friend really do the things he did?

A projector screen was brought into the room and the kids were treated to a slide show of them throughout the school year. School pictures, pictures taken of groups of friends etc. all to the tune of "Graduation Song." By Vitamin C

Lincoln turned to Clyde during the video.

"Hey, Clyde" Lincoln said.

"Yeah." Clyde said.

"Do you really think I deserved this award?" Lincoln asked.

"Of course, buddy" Clyde said.

"Out of the ENTIRE fifth grade," Lincoln continued, "All the kids who have, shown support for one another, who have put others before themselves, out of all of that, you really think I'm the one who deserves this award?"

"Uh, Lincoln are you ok?" Clyde new something was very wrong with his friend.

"Yeah, never mind." Lincoln said.

...

At a secret military base somewhere in Royal Woods, a man walked down a hallway leading into the base.

The man was tall and thin, yet muscular. He wore a black suit with a matching black tie. He wore dark sunglasses even though he was inside. He had dark skin, black hair, a thin mustache, and rather large ears.

The man was called in after a containment breach. He was a high-ranking officer in an organization known as SCP. Which stood for Secure, Contain, and Protect. (No not the Men in Black, that was just a movie.)

The elevator door opened, and another agent greeted the man.

"Agent Jay, glad you could make it." The other agent said.

"So, what seems to be the problem." Agent Jay asked.

"More entities came out of the rift sir." A scientist cut in.

"So, more monsters want to join the party, what else is new?" Jay asked.

Jay walked up to a window, overlooking a very large room. The room was the size of a football stadium. In fact, it was a football stadium, until the SCP built their base around it, once IT had appeared.

What was IT you may ask. Well no one really knew for sure what it was.

It was marked SCP 001. It was a thriving mass of shadows that seemed to be some sort of tear in the fabric of space and time. From SCP 001 things had emerged. Creatures and monsters from our worst nightmares. Things too horrible to describe, and it was these beasts that the SCP was sworn to contain.

"Have you contained the R.Es" Jay asked. R.E stood for Rift entities. It was what the SCP called the things that came from the Rift.

"No, we didn't sir."

"Well did you at least identify them?" Jay asked.

"Just one so far." A scientist explained. "One Michael Myers. A deranged serial killer." He showed Jay a picture of Michael.

"Uh, ain't that the guy from Halloween?" Jay asked. "Is this a world ending disaster, or a comic con?"

"When the rift first opened up." An agent began to explain. "It seemed to produce original creatures no one had ever seen. But lately it seems to be creating creatures from popular movies and TV. And even some video games. Last week one of our guys was killed by a goomba. It was... horrible."

"Did you say creating?" Jay said.

"Well, it's almost as if, something within the rift is learning our worst fears, and nightmares, and making them a reality."

"Something?" Jay said. "Like what?"

"I don't know." The agent said. "But whatever it is, it is not friendly."

...

The Red King is coming!

...

Lincoln Loud got home at around 3 or 4.

"Hey champ." Lynn Sr. said. "Sorry I couldn't see your graduation in person."

"That's ok." Lincoln said. "You were at Lynn's graduation. And besides, that's what video tape is for."

"Hey, I heard you won an award!" Lynn Jr. Lincoln's older sister said. "Congratulations bro!"

"Yeah, for being a good friend." Lincoln said. "Most of the fifth grade voted for me to win this. But I don't know, there may have been some sort of mix-up, I don't think I really earned this."

"Oh, come on Lincoln." Lynn said. "Don't be so hard on yourself, you're a great friend!"

"Personally, I think Clyde or Stella should have won." Lincoln said.

"Well they didn't win." Lori chimed in, "you did."

"Best friend award?" Leni said. "Hey, I won that one in the fifth grade too."

"I'm sure you deserved it." Lincoln said.

Leni took the medal from Lincoln. "I'm going to put this in the trophy case under your name. We can be like, medal twins!"

...

"James powerhouse Prawly makes another sale." Prawly's boss addressed him. "When you have time, meet me in my office."

A few minutes later Prawly met with his boss.

"What's this all about?" Prawly said.

"You know you're my best salesman James." His boss said. "But your behavior has been, not that great lately."

"Not that great?"

"Well," his boss explained. "First of all, you're late every day. And your co-workers have sent me multiple complaints that you have been short with them. You're angry, you're anti-social, and you ate Craig's lunch yesterday."

"Well he should have put his name on it." Prawly responded.

"If you don't get you're act together Prawly we're gonna have to let you go." His boss warned him.

"Let me go?" Prawly said. "Let ME go? You're firing ME!"

"Well not yet, this is just a warning."

"You said it yourself, I'm the best salesman in the entire BLODDY COMPANY," Prawly's face was beat red, and his veins pushed up against his skin. "Do you think for one blood second that this miserable company can last without me!?!? I DON'T THINK SO!"

Prawly slammed the door as he stormed out.

"At least I can go home to a wife who understands." Prawly said to himself. Then he thought about his wife. "Oh yeah, that's right."

...

"WELL AT LEAST I WORK FOR A LIVING!!!!" Prawly yelled at his wife.

"Work?" His wife yelled back. "Doing what? Pretending to be people's friends so they'll buy a junk heap of a car, thinking it's a great deal?"

"Better than anything YOU'VE ever done!"

"YOU ARE A PARASITE JAMES PRAWLY!!!!" His wife screamed.

This went on for some time. Prawly and his wife had been fighting for a long time. You may be wondering what they were fighting about. Well the sad truth is, they have been fighting for so long, even they don't remember what they are fighting about.

Prawly made his way to the front door. "I'm going out for a smoke break!"

"And are you coming back from that smoke break?" His wife asked.

"Oh, you would just love it if I didn't." Prawly barked back. "wouldn't you? You miserable c..."

He stopped when he saw his daughter peaking down from the staircase.

"I'm sorry." Prawly calmed down. "I'll be back in a bit, Daddy just needs to clear his head."

...

The rift started to spaz, and a shockwave of energy emitted from it.

"What the heck was that?" Agent Jay said.

"I don't know." Said another agent.

A scientist sat at a desk looking at some data on a computer monitor.

"Sir, it seems we have received a message from the rift." The scientist said.

"What's the message?" Agent Jay asked. "And it better be some super cool aliens inviting us to the radest party in the galaxy."

"I don't think so sir." The scientist said. "It seems to be just one word. But it's in some alien language. We are in the process of deciphering it now sir.

...

Prawly took a walk, through Tall Timbers Park in Royal woods. It was late afternoon and the sun was just about to go down. Prawly finished his cigarette and threw the butt on the ground.

"Hey mister!"

Prawly turned around to see a little girl, with blue denim overalls, a green t-shirt, a red hat, and blond hair tied in pig tails.

"You should really pick that up." Lana said with a scowl. "The world isn't your ashtray!"

"Oh... you want me... to pick up... this cigarette?" Prawly pointed at the spent cigarette on the ground.

"Well yeah." Lana said.

Then Prawly stomped on the cigarette, and smushed it into the ground with his foot. "Now go run on off to your mommy."

Lana ran off.

...

After Lori's graduation, the senior class of Royal Woods gathered in Giovanni Chang's Italian Chinese Bistro for a dance.

Bobby and Lori danced together in a slow song.

"I am literally so excited for our future together Bo, Bo Bear." Lori said.

"Me too Babe." Bobby said, "Me too. I can't believe we've already graduated. Time seems to fly by so fast."

"Really?" Lori said. "This year felt kind of long to me. Like the same year lasted for three years. Like everything has just been resetting every eleven minutes."

"Huh," Bobby said.

"Like is it just me? Or were there literally three April Fools days this year?" Lori added.

Meanwhile at the Loud House...

Lisa was watching the skies through her telescope.

Lincoln and Lynn were in the backyard playing catch as the sky slowly darkened.

"Ahh, smell that summer air." Lynn said, as she tossed the ball to her brother.

"Yeah, I really do love nights like these." Lincoln said. "when we can just kick back and relax."

Lana came stomping by.

"You ok Lans?" Lincoln asked.

"Yeah you look like you're about to throw down." Lynn added. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Lana said. "Just ran into some jerk at Tall Timbers pond."

"What did he do?" Lynn asked.

"He wouldn't pick up a cigarette he threw on the ground. Then he looked me right in the face, and stomped it into the dirt, just to tick me off. Then he told me to run along to my mommy."

Lynn caught Lincoln's throw. "Hey people are buttholes what can I say."

Lola was having a tea party near the group.

"You went to Tall Timbers park ALONE!" Lola said. "What if you ran into the creepy guy?"

"What creepy guy?" Lynn asked.

"There was some guy stalking the playground at our school today." Lincoln explained. "He had a white mask like that Mike Myers guy."

"You mean Michael Myers?" Lynn asked. "Or was somebody stalking you guys while dressed as Shrek?"

"Michael Myers, the killer from Halloween." Lincoln said.

"Oh, that is creepy." Lynn said. "Though a killer Shrek stalking you would be kind of creepy too."

Lincoln laughed.

"Oh my gosh!" Lynn yelled "It's the creepy white masked guy right behind you!"

"Where?" Lincoln turned around.

"Ha made you look!" Lynn taunted.

As the sun went down the sky was filled with shooting stars.

"Well that must be the meteor shower Lisa was so excited about." Lynn said.

...

Prawly made his way back to his car. Just before he got to his car, a ball of fire fell from the sky and struck the car, making it explode.

"MY CAR!!!!!" Prawly yelled.

He ran up to his car. In the burning wreck he saw what looked like a metal ball, about the size of a baseball.

The ball started to twist and shift, changing form into something else. The ball unraveled into what appeared to be a metal centipede, about a foot long, with thin metal legs that stretched out about 6 inches from its body. On the creatures head was one glowing red eye.

"What the heck are you?" Prawly said.

Then the bug lunged at him. He picked up a large stick and struck it as it flew threw the air. The bug landed on the ground, Prawly was about to smash it, when it quickly got back to its feet and jumped at Prawly again. This time striking him in the chest. He stumbled backward and fell down a hill.

As he fell down the rock covered hill, into the forest, Prawly's neck snapped.

He landed in his back at the bottom of the hill. He tried to get up but couldn't move.

"I...I can't feel my arms or legs." Prawly panicked. "HELP!"

Unfortunately for Prawly, the parking lot was empty.

Then the mysterious metal bug crawled up Prawly's chest.

"No, no, no." Prawly stammered. "Go away!" He blew at the bug, hoping to blow it off of him.

Then the foot-long metal bug crawled into Prawly's mouth and burrowed its way into his skull.

Prawly sat up moments later, his body now controlled by the alien bug.

"Testing, testing." Prawly said, his head twitching around like a bird. "Voice is operational. Running diagnostic."

Prawly looked at his own hands. Metal spikes extended from his palms, then receded back into his hands.

"Weapons system online." Prawly said. "Scanning host's memories. James Prawly male born May 30th, 1964. Married with one child. Marriage not well, divorce imminent. Wait a minute... My name's Prawly? Seriously? Prawly? That sounds like a rip off of a TV villain. What next? Are we going to meet some guy named Began, who wields a baseball bat with nails, instead of barbed wire? Well I suppose Prawly will have to do."

Prawly got back to his feet.

"All hail The Red King." Prawly said.

...

Back at the secret base.

"Sir we have successfully decoded the message." The scientist proclaimed. He showed agent Jay the computer screen.

"Hmm, dang." Agent Jay said. "I was really hoping it would be a party."

On the screen was one word.

"Loud"

...

That day wasn't just the last day of school. That day was a very special day, for that was the day that The Red King first made contact with earth.
