Chapter 9: Abducted.
First I just want to say that none of the characters or ideas in this story are meant to represent any person or idea in the real world. This is just entertainment.
Lynn Jr. sat alone at the dinner table. It was after midnight, her hair was a mess, and she had dark circles under her eyes. She had a big cup of coffee in her hands and her whole body was trembling.
Her parents whispered to each other in the living room.
"We have to do something about this." Lynn Sr said.
"What can we do?" Rita asked. "Is there somebody we can call?"
"She says Freddy Krueger was doing this to her." Lynn Sr. said. "Who the heck is going to believe that?"
"I was actually reading an article about this today." Rita said. "This has been happening to a lot of people in Royal Woods over the past few days."
"What do you mean?" Lynn Sr. whispered.
"Nightmares, and mysterious scratches appearing overnight." Rita said. "I read it in the news. It's spreading like the plague. And all the victims of it say they saw Freddy Krueger in their dreams."
"I think you're right Rita." Lynn Sr. said. "I have had some costumers come in today in the same condition Lynn is in. It looked like they hadn't gotten any sleep, in days. Something is going on, and our little girl is in trouble."
"First Lincoln, now Lynn." Rita said. "Oh, Lynn what is happening to our family."
"Well at least Lincoln is better now." Lynn Sr. said. "Thank goodness his episode only lasted for a few days."
The parents walked into the dining room to talk to their daughter.
"Lynn honey." Rita said. "Are you ok. Have you gotten any sleep tonight?"
"He can't get me if I don't sleep." Lynn said, not looking up, just starring ahead.
"Freddy Krueger?" Rita said.
"You don't believe me." Lynn replied.
"Well we do believe something is going on with you." Lynn sr. said. "We wanna help anyway we can."
"Would it help to know you're not alone?" Rita asked.
"I'm not?" Lynn Jr. said.
"Apparently, whatever this ithing, has been going around." Rita explained. "Just today I was filling a patients cavities he refused laughing gas because he didn't want to risk falling asleep. He was afraid Freddy would get him."
"He actually said the name Freddy Krueger?" Lynn asked.
Rita nodded. "I thought it was crazy at first. But I read a news article claiming this has been happening to a lot of people."
"Did they find a cure?" Lynn Sr. asked.
"I don't know." Rita said.
"I know how to stop it. How to stop all of it." Lynn Jr. said. "we gotta kill Freddy. Then find that Red King guy and kick his but before he sends more monsters after us."
...
A glass case sat atop the desk of Agent Jay. In the case was some sort of bony claw, like something from a dinosaur.
"What is that?" Agent Phil asked referring to the claw on Jay's desk. "A dinosaur fossil?"
"Oh, that's no fossil." Jay explained. "You recall the incident in Roswell? And what they brought to area 51"
"Yes, I remember." Phil said. "I remember an alien space craft crashed in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. We told the public it was an Air Force Balloon as not to cause a panic. Well at least that is what I have been told, I wasn't born yet. Are you telling me that claw came from the alien recovered from the crash?"
"You're dang right it did." Jay said.
"Funny I didn't think aliens had...claws." Phil said.
"Let me guess." Jay said. "You're picturing little green men. Well let me tell you, little green men are just a product pop culture. Real aliens are WAY more terrifying than that."
"What does it look like sir?"
"Classified." Jay replied. "Now what brings you to my humble crib."
"We captured the clown sir." Phil said. "He's ready for interrogation."
...
"So... Joker is it?" Jay said as he entered the room.
The Joker sat calmly in his chair, handcuffed to the table.
"So, are you good cop or bad cop?" The Joker smirked.
"well you'll know soon enough man." Jay said, sitting across from the Joker. "I see you've made quite a name for yourself."
"I get by." The Joker said. "Now I'm supposed to get a lawyer."
"You'll get one." Jay said. "But I'd like to ask you a few questions first."
"Not until I get a Lawyer." The Joker demanded.
"You do know why we're hesitant to meet your demands right?" Jay said. "We have on record, that one time when you were imprisoned, you asked for a phone call. Your hone call activated a bomb you implanted in another inmate, that blew up the precinct."
The Joker smiled. "Those were good times."
"Good times?" Jay said. "Something tells me that not everyone agrees."
"Do you wanna know how I got these scars?" The Joker asked.
"Nah, not really." Jay said.
"You see..." The Joker said.
"I said I don't want to hear it." Jay said.
"You know it's very rude to interrupt." The Joker said. "So anyway, I went to see this movie. Don't remember what it was, I do remember I hated it. But after the movie I was getting out of the theater and these guys jumped me. I yelled at them to get off, and they just said "You look a little unhappy. Let's put a smile on that face" So the stuck a knife in my mouth and carved this lovely smile in my face."
"Is that what really happened?" Jay asked. "Or did you make it up. We have records of you claiming many different scenarios about those scars, one involving your drunk father, and one where you did it to yourself to make your girlfriend happy."
"Wow, you guys really do your homework." The Joker said. "Well when it comes to my past, I prefer it to be multiple choice."
"Do you know you're an alien." Jay said.
The Joker was taken back. "I don't know where you got that, but I was born in America."
Jay took off his sunglasses. "I'm not talking about illegal aliens Mr. Joker." Jay said. "I mean extra-terrestrial."
"Excuse me?" The Joker had never been more confused in his life.
"Do you know, that you are from another planet?" Jay said. "Possibly even from another dimension."
"BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!" The Joker burst out laughing. "What you mean like E.T Phone home, war of the worlds, take me to your leader, ba ba ba baaaaa. And you think I'm crazy?"
"Does the name Arthur Fleck mean anything to you?" Jay asked.
The Jokers face suddenly grew dark and serious. "Who told you that name?"
"That's you isn't it?" Jay said, "Your real name."
"WHO TOLD YOU THAT NAME!!!!!!" The Joker roared.
"Todd Phillips." Jay responded.
"Who is this Todd Philips?" The Joker growled. "I will find him, and I will gut him like a fish!"
"He's a movie director." Jay said. "He's the one who made the stand-alone movie about your life Mr. Fleck."
"DON'T CALL ME THAT!!!!" The Joker growled. "I AM JOKER!!!!!"
"Those files we told you we had on you." Jay said. "They weren't files. It was a movie called the Dark Knight. Directed by Christopher Nolan." Jay threw a copy of The Dark Knight on the table for The Joker to see.
The Joker picked up the DVD and stared at it in horror.
"What is this?" The Joker demanded.
"It's a Batman movie." Jay replied. "A dang good one too."
"A Batman MOVIE!?!?" The Joker snarled. "They made a movie of that FREACK!"
"Oh, don't worry Arthur." Jay said. "Like I said, they also made a Joker movie. And I really enjoyed that one too."
"I told you I am The Joker!" The Joker Said. "Arthur Fleck is dead."
"You're right, you're not Arthur Fleck." Jay said. "But you're not The Joker either. You, sir, are an alien clone. Made by some extra-terrestrial force beyond our understanding."
"Why are you saying these lies?" The Joker asked.
Jay took out a knife and stabbed the Joker in the hand.
"AAAAAHHHHH!!!!! WHAT THE HECK!?!" the Joker yelled.
"Humans don't have black blood." Jay said as he pulled the knife out.
The Joker looked at the hole in his hand. Black goo oozed down his arm. The Joker was stunned.
An alarm went off.
"Sir there is a situation in the rift room." A voice came over the intercom.
"Ight' Imma head out." Jay said.
...
Jay entered the holding area for the rift and was met with a blast of fire.
"Whoa, who turned up the heart?!?" Jay asked.
In the middle of the room was a huge reptilian creature about the size of a pick-up truck. It looked like a cross between a dinosaur and a turtle. It had spikes on the back of its shell, and red hair on its head.
"IT'S BOWSER!!!!!" a man screamed as he ran around the room.
"Oh, you have got to be kidding me!" Jay said.
...
"After the sudden appearance of Godzilla, the monster seems to have vanished." The news anchor woman said.
"That's right." Said the anchor man sitting next to her. "And if things couldn't get any stranger, sightings of crop circles and UFOs have been on the rise. Leaving this reporter to question, is this some government experiment, or are we being visited by beings from beyond the stars. And if these aliens do exist, what, if any is there connection to Godzilla?"
"Gasp!" Lucy said as she was sitting on the couch watching the news.
"And in Local news." The Anchor woman said. "A mysterious epidemic is sweeping the town of Royal Woods. Many citizens are reporting receiving mysterious wounds in their sleep, after supposedly experiencing nightmares involving popular horror icon Freddy Krueger. There have also been reports of a psycho in a clown outfit running around, and the suspect reported to have been stalking Royal Woods elementary in a Michael Myers mask still has not been caught."
...
Jay ran out of the SPC headquarters followed by a group of SCP agents. The agents fired their laser guns into the burned hallway as Bowser rampaged through.
"Get to the cars!" Jay yelled as the group ran to the parking lot. Then Bowser leapt into the air and landed on one of the cars, blowing it up. He then started to smash and throw the rest of the cars around. Jay aimed a ray gun at bowser.
"Hold it right there!" Jay yelled. "I have a few questions for you."
Bowser turned to face Jay.
"Yo Bowser!" Jay yelled. "Are you the Red King?"
"What?" Bowser growled.
"The Red King." Jay elaborated. "Someone called The Red King, is connected to that Rift in some way. Is that you Bowser? Are you the Red King?"
"I have been called many things." Bowser said. "Bowser, King Koopa, and the great Demon King Koopa, but I have never been referred to as the Red King. If you ask me, that name feels kind of generic."
"Ok." Jay said. "Now I know a bit about you Bowser. I've been playing Mario Bros since I was a kid. I know you are a man of business, you're a king, I'm sure we can work together on this... Your majesty."
"You want me to help you find out who The Red King is." Bowser said.
"Yeah." Jay said. "And I happen to lead a very powerful, secret government agency. In many ways you can say I am a king myself. I'm sure the SCP and I can find a way to repay you."
"I'll consider it." Bowser said. "But I do wonder. How did you find out about this Red King?"
"We have done a tone of investigation." Jay said. "The name came up from an unknown source when the rift opened up. Since then we traveled the globe looking for answers. A lot of late hours, and a lot of paper work."
"How do you know it was The Red King behind this?" Bowser asked. "And not something else."
Jay lowered his gun. "Well you came out of the rift. You tell me Demon King, what's in there."
"All I remember is Darkness." Bowser said. "Unlike some these other characters, I know I come from a video game, I have suspected it for a long time. But to me this is not an existential crisis, only more land and kingdoms to conquer."
"Conquer?" Jay said. "Well I can't promise you world domination. But we can probably give you something. Perhaps the state of Kansas."
"Hmm..." Bowser pondered. "Alright, I'm sure my people and I can make a deal with you."
"Your people?" Jay and the other agents turned around to see they were surrounded by Goombas and Koopa troops.
...
Agent Phil ran through the woods trying to escape the chaos. When he was jumped by the Joker. The Joker pinned Phil to a tree and put a knife to Phil's mouth.
"Do you wanna know how I got these scars?" The Joker asked.
Phil shook his head in fear.
"You see..." The Joker began. "I was over in Japan one day. This was before I became the man I am today. Back then I was just a collage student studying abroad. One day I was jumped by a group of ninjas."
"Ninjas?" Phil whimpered, his voice muffled by the Jokers knife.
"Now I managed to kill most of the ninjas." The Joker said, liking his lips. "But the last ninja took his katana and did this to my face. So, I removed his head. Now Mr. Agent man, I have a question for you."
"What question?" Phil asked.
The Joker licked his lips again. "Why so serious?"
Then a light shined down from the sky and Phil was lifted off the ground, out of Joker's clutches.
Phil looked up to see a giant saucer floating just above the trees.
"Oh, thank you aliens!" Phil said. "Thank you! Um... you can put me down now.... No wait! NNNNOOOOOO!!!!!!"
Phil was then sucked into the flying saucer, and the craft flew away, making no noise.
"FREAKING ALIENS!!!!!!" The Joker yelled.
...
Lynn sat on the couch, her heart was fluttering.
"You sure you wanna do this?" Lisa asked.
"If I don't." Lynn said. "I'll just be haunted by these nightmares until Freddy finally kills me."
The rest of the siblings surrounded Lynn, they were all holding bats, tennis rackets, Lori held one of her golf clubs, and even Lily held her raddle ready for battle.
"Now remember." Lisa said. "The timer will go off after 5 minutes, then you will be awakened."
"At that time, make sure you have a hold of Freddy Krueger." Lincoln said.
"And remember." Lisa reminded. "Time moves different down there. Just like Inception."
"Got it." Lynn said.
"Then it's time to put operation rip Freddy Krueger out of the dream world and kick his butt, into action." Lincoln said. Then he hit Lynn in the face with his bat, knocking her out.
"I always wanted to do that." Lincoln smirked.
"Good luck Lynn!" Leni said.
...
Lynn found herself alone in the living room. The air was filled with ash and dust. Red light shined in from the window.
"Alright." Lynn said, smacking her palm with a baseball bat. "Where are you, you pizza faced freak?"
She saw Freddy's reflection in the window. She turned around, but nothing was there. She could here Freddy's demonic laughter. Lynn walked up the stairs. At the top she turned around to see the twins standing in the end of the hallways.
"Ok, now I know this is a trick." Lynn said.
"Come play with us Lynn." The girls chanted. Then there faces became burned and melted just like Freddy Krueger's. "Forever, and ever, and ever."
"Welp." Lynn said. "I think I know what comes next."
The twins vanished. The bathroom door behind them opened up, and a wave of red blood rushed through the hallway.
"Yep, wave of blood." Lynn said. Then she started to scream and run down the stairs. The crimson wave smacked into Lynn carrying her down the stairs, out the door, and onto the street. Lynn got to her feet. She looked down to see the pavement of the road was starting to move and flow like water in the ocean. In front of her she saw a man in a dingy rowing over the road. The pavement flowed around the boat and paddles like water. Even though Lynn was standing on solid ground. The pavement to the dingy was fluid.
"300 men go into the water." The man said. "Only 99 come out."
Giant Metal blades, like the ones on Freddy's hand rose from the pavement. The blades circled Lynn like shark fins. The dingy rowed closer.
"See a shark has black eyes, like a dolls eyes." The man said. "He doesn't seem to be livin' until he bites you, and those black eyes rrroooolll over white." The dingy was now right next to Lynn. "And all the high-pitched hollering and screaming."
The man turned his fac to Lynn, reviling himself to be Freddy Krueger.
"Now for a moment that will really make you drop your JAWS." Freddy said. "AAAAAHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!"
"Dang it." Lynn said, then the ground below her turned to liquid and Lynn fell in. She thrashed her arms around trying to stay afloat. She gasped for breath.
"Fair well and ado to you fair Spanish ladies." Freddy sang as he rowed into the distance. "Fair well and ado you ladies in Spain. Come on Lynn, keep swimming for it. Don't want you to Quint on me now! AAAHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!"
Ugh, he makes me miss Luan's lame puns. Lynn thought. Then the head of an enormous shark rose from the water. The shark's skin looked just like that of Freddy's. Burned and melted. The shark then swallowed Lynn whole.
Lynn found herself floating in complete darkness. Lynn couldn't breathe, she was under water. She saw her bat floating away. She tried to grab it, but it was just out of reach. Then she heard Freddy singing again.
"Under the sea." Freddy sang. "Under the sea. Down where it's wetter down where it's better." Then Freddy appeared before Lynn. "Take it from me."
Lynn's lungs felt like they were on fire.
Then the sound of an alarm clock ringing.
"The Heck is that?" Freddy said, looking around.
Now an evil smile formed on Lynn's face for a change.
Lynn grabbed Freddy by the throat as Freddy gave a look of shock and surprise.
...
Lori dumped a bucket of ice water on Lynn head to wake her up.
As Lynn woke up sputtering, Freddy Krueger appeared in Lynn's grasp. Lynn let go of Freddy and fell to her knees coughing up salty water.
Freddy stood up and looked around at the Loud siblings surrounding him.
"Wh-where am I?" Freddy asked.
"You're in the real world now Freddy." Lori said.
"Yeah, welcome to OUR nightmare." Luan added.
"GET HIM!!!!!" Lincoln called out.
The louds piled on Freddy Krueger, beating him with whatever blunt objects they held.
"GA GA!!!!" Lily called out as a battle cry, raising her rattle in the air. As the louds beat down on Freddy. Black goo splattered all over the living room.
Then blinding white lights shined into the windows and the entire house shook. The louds were all knocked off of their feet. The lights and shaking went away as soon as they appeared. With the Loud siblings off of him, Freddy got back to his feet. His face was battered and covered I his black blood. He put his hat back on his head, and quickly ran out the front door.
"Oh great." Lynn grumbled. "He got away."
"But at least he's no longer in the dream world." Lincoln said. "And he can no longer hurt you."
"I cannot even begin to express how much of a relief that is." Lynn said. "Thank you guys so much for helping me. But Lincoln did you really need to hit me?"
"We needed you to get asleep fast." Lincoln replied.
"What was that light?" Lori asked.
"I too am curious." Lisa said.
"I don't care." Lynn said. "Freddy's finally gone, and I am going to go upstairs and get some real sleep."
"But it's the middle of the day." Lucy said.
"But I feel like I could sleep for weeks." Lynn yawned.
"Let her get some rest." Leni smiled. "She totes earned it."
...
Lynn walked upstairs to her bedroom and laid down on her bed. She fell asleep almost instantly. This time she had nothing but good dreams. Dreams of winning tournaments and seeing her friends.
Luan walked out the back door. "Uh guys, you need to come look at this!" Luan said.
The Louds aside from Lynn, who was fast asleep. Gathered in the back yard. Strange alien symbols had appeared in the lawn.
"They're crop circles." Lori said. "in our lawn."
"Holy crop!" Luan said. "Ha ha. Get it?"
...
Luan and Benny sat on the back porch looking at the symbols burned into the back-yard lawn as the sun started to set.
"So... we really need to talk." Luan said.
"You're breaking up with me?" Benny said.
"WHAT? No of course not." Luan said.
"Phew..." Benny said. "You know, when a girl says "we need to talk""
"It's just." Luan said. "I want to know what you believe in."
"What I believe in?" Benny said.
"All that conspiracy stuff you told me about." Luan said. "I wanna know how much of that kind of stuff you really believe. Like, you said you don't believe in the flat Earth theory, right?"
"No, those guys are nutjobs." Benny said.
"That's a relief. Do you believe we went to the moon?" Luan asked.
"Well I do believe we went to the moon but..." Benny said. "I don't think they have been very truthful about what they found. You know, there was a brief moment in the moon landing where we lost communication with the astronauts up there."
"And you think they made contact with aliens in that time?"" Luan asked.
"Well... yeah." Benny said. "Who knows, maybe the aliens abducted them and took their forms to hide amongst humans. Aliens do live among us you know. I'm pretty sure that guy at the gas station is one of them."
"Flip?" Luan said. "You know I can kind of see that."
They both laughed.
"So, what do you make of all this?" Luan asked.
"Well it was obviously aliens." Benny said.
"I think that's pretty clear." Luan said. "But what do you think it means?"
"I have no idea." Benny said. "Maybe your family is marked to be harvested for experiments or something."
"WHAT!?!" Luan shrieked.
"Hey, I won't let anything happen to you." Benny assured her. "Or your family."
"No offense Benny but..." Luan said. "You're just a kid, and these are well... aliens. I think it's clear that these aliens want me and my family. They probably work for that Red King, Lincoln's been going on about. Maybe... Maybe it is best if we go our separate ways for a while."
"But Luan..."
"Something really bad is going to happen to me." Luan said. "I don't think there is anything you or I can do about it. I might not even survive what happens. These things probably want to dissect me or something. And I don't want you to get hurt."
"But Luan..." Benny said.
ZAP!
A flash of light, a man appeared in the lawn. He was wearing a ripped up black suit and pants.
"Holy crap!" Luan shouted.
"Who is that?" Benny asked.
"The probing" The man moaned. "So much probing."
"Are you ok?" Luan asked. "Where did you come from?"
"They... they took me." The man replied.
"Who are you?" Benny asked.
"Phil," The man replied. "I'm an agent for... Oh wait, you're not supposed to know that."
"Who took you?" Luan replied.
Phil, who was still on the ground in a daze replied. "They had big claws and teeth... and so many probs. They stuck those things everywhere.... EVERYWHERE!!!!!"
...
Agent Phil was hauled away in an ambulance.
"The probes! The probes!" Phil repeated over and over again as he was driven away.
...
Lynn woke from her nap. Leni popped her head in the door.
"Have a nice nap?" Leni asked. "You looked so cute I didn't want to wake you."
"Uh thanks..." Lynn said. "I slept well, no more clawed psychos. What's going on I heard lightning or something."
"Aliens dropped some guy in our backyard, after creating crop circles in our lawn." Leni replied.
"Leni, if I hadn't just faced off against Freddy Krueger, I would say you sounded nuts." Lynn replied.
...
Earlier that day Lincoln and Clyde made their way to the motel Ronnie Anne was staying at.
"Hey Ronnie Anne." Lincoln said as Ronnie Anne opened the door. "You told me you had someone you wanted me to meet."
"Oh, hey Lincoln." Ronnie Anne said, inviting them in. "Lincoln I'd like you to meet my friend Sid Chang."
She introduced the boys to a spunky young girl with dark brown hair, a pink headband, and a blue long sleeve shirt.
"Nice to meet you." Lincoln said shaking Sid's hand.
"So, is it true?" Sid said. "Are you actually crazy?"
"Uh...." Lincoln pulled away from Sid.
"Sid!" Ronnie Anne scorned.
"Sorry." Sid said. "I guess I was nervous."
"The whole world is going crazy." Clyde said. "I heard on the news they found the real Godzilla!"
"I suppose Ronnie Anne told you about my um... episode." Lincoln said, rubbing the back of his neck. "Well it all started with this staircase in the woods..."
Lincoln told Sid all about his adventures so far. From the stair case, to the Red King and the asylum. He told her how he and Lynn were captured by The Harvester and their daring escape. He told her about Lynn's battle with Freddy Kruger, and the fight he and Lori witnessed between Michael Myers and Predator. And everything in between.
"WOW!" Sid gushed. "That's amazing! And it's all true?"
"As hard as it may be to believe." Lincoln said. "Yeah it's true."
"Even the part with the alien space god?" Sid said.
"Especially that part."
"OH MAN!" Sid said. "I have so may questions. Like who is the Red King? Yeah, I know he's an alien god, but like who is he really? What's his personality? Where did he come from? What does he want? What IS his real name?"
"I would like to know that too." Lincoln laughed.
"Well that all sounds..." Ronnie Anne said. "Are you sure you're feeling alright Lincoln?"
"Well you know The Red king has to have some long alien sounding name." Sid suggested. "Like Moteenae, or Bleabba, or Steve!"
"Or Roger." Ronnie Anne smiled.
The four of them hung out for a while until Lincoln go a call from Luan.
"Luan?" Lincoln said. "Luan slow down I can't understand you. Ok I'll be right there."
Lincoln and the others went back to the Loud House. Sid was especially excited to see what was going on.
...
Lori walked over to the Doyle residence to talk to them about what was to be done about their door.
"What even happened here?" Mr. Doyle asked.
"Some guy broke into the house." Lori answered.
"Why didn't you call the police." Mr. Doyle said.
"I... I don't know I..." Lori said. There was no way they would believe that Michael Myers and Predator fought it out in their house. Lori couldn't think of anything to say that wouldn't make her sound completely insane.
"Tommy said you saw the man before this occurred." Mr. Doyle said. "Did you call the police then?"
"Well no I..." Lori stammered.
"And apparently your own brother was put into an insane asylum." Mr. Doyle said.
"Only for like two days." Lori said. "I told you I can pay for the damages."
"You know I can have you arrested for child endangerment." Mr. Doyle scorned.
"What? But I didn't do anything." Lori pleaded. "Mr. Doyle please, I can get your door fixed I..."
A light shined down on Lori from the sky.
"What? What's happening?" Lori said as she started to float into the air. Lori waved her arms and legs around trying to get a hold of something as she slowly rotated in the air.
Mr. Doyle let out a high-pitched girly scream and ran into his house.
"HELP! SOMEBODY!" Lori yelled. Then she was sucked up into the heavens.
...
"What's going on?" Lincoln asked as he got home.
All the siblings aside from Lori were on the front porch frantically talking to each other.
"This guy just fell from the sky." Luan said.
"Did he say anything?" Lincoln asked.
"He just went on about being probed." Luan said.
Sid and Ronnie Anne giggled.
"This is serious bra!" Luna said.
Rita and Lynn Sr. joined the group.
"Have any of you guys seen Lori?" Rita asked. "Her friends called us, they said she's gone missing."
"Our poor baby!" Lynn Sr. cried. "What if something bad happened to her. She's probably lost and scarred somewhere."
"Last I heard she was heading over to the Doyle's house." Luan said. "Apparently she broke their door or something."
"Those fiends probably did something to her." Lynn Sr. said.
"Now honey." Rita assured him. "I'm sure this is just a big misunderstanding. We'll just go over to the Doyle's and ask them. I'm sure they can tell us where she is. Kids, you stay here while your father and I go find your sister."
The two parents got in Vanzilla and drove off.
"Oh no!" Leni said. "I hope Lori's ok."
"Maybe she was abducted by aliens." Sid suggested.
"What makes you say that dude?" Luna asked.
"That." Sid said pointing to a group of flying saucers hovering in the air.
"Oh," Luna said. She calmly sat back down on the porch. Then after a few seconds looked back up to the sky. She stood back up pointing at the alien space crafts. "ALIENS!!!!!!!!!!!"
The siblings and guests started to run in circles screaming at the top of their lungs.
A bright light shined down from one of the saucers over Luan.
"Guy's, I'm starting to feel lightheaded." Luan said with a laugh as she started to float in the air. "But seriously HELP!!!!!"
"Luan no!" Benny ran over to Luan and grabbed her hands. The two of them were both sucked up into the UFO.
"Into the house!" Lisa yelled. The group flooded into the house.
Blinding blue-white light flooded the house from all the windows. Leni pressed her back against the door to keep it shut.
"Dude!" Luna said. "These creatures have traveled millions of lightyears. I don't think they're going to be stopped by a wooden door."
A reptilian hand smashed through the door. The hand had grey scaly skin and five clawed fingers.
"WAAAAHHH!!!!" Leni shrieked as her hair started to get tangled in the creature's claws. Leni managed to get herself free and ran into the kitchen. She came back into the living room with a glass of water. She splashed the water on the reptilian hand and... nothing happened.
Everyone in the room stared blankly at Leni.
"What?" Leni said. "I worked in Signs."
The creature pulled its hand back out of the door. The door knob turned, and the door flung open. Leni looked out of the door to see what was on the other side, but the light was so intense she couldn't see anything. Then Leni was sucked out into the light.
"LENI!!!!!" The siblings screamed.
A metal tentacle with a robotic claws flew into the room and grabbed Lisa.
"Well this is unpleasant." Lisa said, then she was yanked out of the house.
"Everyone upstairs!" Luna yelled, and they all ran upstairs. In the chaos Lincoln found himself tumbling into his room.
He looked out his window and gasped. He saw Lily floating through the air giggling. Then the little baby was sucked into the sky.
"Lily!" Lincoln said as he climbed up to his window. He squinted to see what was outside in the blinding light.
He saw something fly past the window, something that looked almost like a giant bird, but he could barely make it out. It was like a shadow that flew by in the blink of an eye.
His door opened and Luna tumbled in.
"In hindsight we should have gone to the basement!" Luna said, before a pair of scaly clawed hands wrapped around her mouth and pulled her away.
"Luna!" Lincoln ran out of his room. The hallway was deserted.
He walked downstairs. He saw Clyde, Ronnie Anne and Sid huddled in the corner, shaking in fear.
"Wh-where are my sisters?" Lincoln asked, his eyes filling with tears.
"I don't know." Clyde said. The room was silent now. Light still flooded into the room.
"I... I think they took 'em." Ronnie Anne said.
Lincoln fell to his knees and started to cry.
Clyde, Sid, and Ronnie Anne all sat around Lincoln to comfort him.
"My entire family is gone." Lincoln cried.
"Hey, we don't know that." Ronnie Anne said.
"Yeah." Sid said. "Maybe the aliens took your sisters to... have a tea party."
The others gave Sid a look.
"You know..." Sid shrugged. "To ask them questions about the Earth. Maybe the aliens are just tourists."
"I... I have to go save them." Lincoln said standing up.
"Lincoln NO!" Clyde said, stepping in front of Lincoln as he headed for the door.
"This is my family Clyde." Lincoln said. "What would you do if your dads got abducted?"
"I can't lose you Lincoln." Clyde said. "You're my best friend. I love you Lincoln.... Not in like a gay way, more like a brother sort of way."
Lincoln raised an eyebrow. "Uh... I love you too Clyde... In a brother sort of way... You know this would be really awkward if it wasn't for the aliens."
"At least take me with you." Clyde pleaded. "We've always been there for each other. Let me be there for you know. Come on buddy, Clincoln Mcloud?"
"Sorry buddy." Lincoln said. "This is something I have to do alone." Lincoln and Clyde gave each other the biggest hug they ever had.
"I'm gonna miss you buddy." Clyde cried.
Lincoln broke away from the hug and gave Clyde warm smile. "Clyde." Lincoln said. "In the words of the great Arnold Schwarzenegger, I'll be back."
Lincoln walked over to Ronnie Anne. "Ronnie Anne." He said, then he pulled Ronnie Anne close to his face and gave her a big deep kiss.
Ronnie Anne wrapped her arms around Lincoln and the two stood there for a while, embraced in a passionate kiss.
"Nice." Sid said.
Lincoln broke away from the kiss. "Like, I said to Clyde." He said softly. "I'll be back. Someday, it may be years, but I promise I will find my way back to you."
"Go get 'em L..." Ronnie Anne said softly.
"Lame-o." Lincoln finished Ronnie Anne's sentence.
"Actually, I was going to say..." Ronnie Anne smiled. "Go get 'em Lincolnator."
"Lincolnator?" Lincoln said. "I like it."
Lincoln turned to the door. He took one last look at his friends.
"Oh, and Sid." Lincoln said. "It was nice meeting you."
Lincoln disappeared into the blinding light from outside.
"There goes a true hero." Clyde wiped a tear from his eye.
...
Lincoln struggled to see in the blinding light from the saucers. He felt something hit him in the back and he fell to the ground.
Lincoln looked up. He could almost make out a face in the light.
He could see big yellow eyes. Eyes that almost resembled that of an eagle. Below the eyes was a big reptilian smile, full of razor-sharp teeth.
"NO!" Lincoln coughed out as a reptilian hand covered his face.
The lights and saucers vanished so quick it was like they were never even there. Lincoln and his sisters were all gone.
It was nighttime and stars filled the summer night sky.
Clyde, Ronnie Anne, and Sid Chang sat in an empty Loud house, which had now gone completely quiet. The only sound that could be heard were crickets.
...
Lori Loud awoke in a strange brightly lit room. She was lying on some sort of operating table. She was not restrained, yet she couldn't move.
Light shined in her eyes and she could barely make out her surroundings. Some sort of beings surrounded her, but she couldn't make them out. The creatures all seemed to be holding sharp medical instruments.
Lori remembered what had happened to her, where she was. She knew these things were not human, nor where they from this world.
"I swear, if you even think about probing me..." Is what she wanted to say, but what came out was just confused mumbling.
One of the creatures put some object to Lori's head. Lori could hear the sound of a drill.
Though she couldn't feel anything she figured these things were drilling into her head. She started to panic. Though she couldn't move or speak, but her heart was racing.
What are they doing to me? Lori thought What are they doing to my head?
Then she again lost consciousness.
...
When Lori came too, she found herself laying in a soft comfortable bed. She noticed she was in a completely white room. She got up to see that the room was completely clean, and her bed was made nice and tidy. She looked around her to see her siblings were in this room with her, as well as Benny. They too where just waking up in a daze, each in their own bed.
"G-guys?" Lori asked.
"Lori!" Leni got out of her bed and rushed over to hug her sister.
"Aw hey Leni. It's good to see you." Lori hugged her back.
"Owy." Came a tiny voice. Lori looked down to see Lily with a big smile on her tiny face, reaching her arms up toward her.
Lori picked up her baby sister. "You ok Lily?"
"Where are we?" Luna moaned.
"Are we dead?" Lola asked. "Is this Heaven?"
"Well, I did see something flying around that looked kind of like a bird." Lincoln said. "Maybe they were angels."
"Why would angels want to abduct us?" Luna asked rubbing her head.
Lori noticed a cut on Lily's head that was stitched up. Lori felt her own head to find she too had a small incision just under her hair.
"We're not dead." Lori said. "Feel your heads, do any of you guys have stitches?"
Each and every one of them had incisions on their heads.
"They did something to us." Lori said.
"Who?" Leni asked.
"The aliens." Lori replied. "Duh."
"Whoa this is all to weird." Luan said. "I might just space out."
Her and Benny started to laugh.
"That's a good one Luan." Benny laughed. "You have me in... stitches!"
Everyone else rolled their eyes.
"So, I guess that means were on a spaceship." Lana said.
"So, did anyone get a good look at the aliens?" Lucy asked.
They all shook their heads.
Then a door opened and one of the aliens stepped into the room.
"Holy shimoly!" Luan exclaimed.
"What the heck is that!?!?" Lucy said.
"Well that's unexpected." Lynn said, almost laughing. Not because the creature looked funny, it actually looked quite intimidating. But it's form was so surprising she just let out a chuckle.
"And I was expecting little green men." Lori said.
"Fascinating." Lisa said.
The being that stood before them didn't look anything like the classic little green men you see in the media. Instead it much closer resembled one of the Velociraptors from Jurassic Park.
It stood in a crouched position much like a bird. It's arms legs and long reptile-like snout were covered in scaly skin, but the rest of it's body was covered in white feathers. On its back were to large bird wings. It had five clawed fingers on each hand. Its feet were like that of a raptor with one claw on each foot being much larger than the others. The creature was also wearing a white lab coat. The coat of course had holes in the back for the creatures wings to fit through.
"Greetings." The alien said.
"It can talk?" Lola said.
"And it knows English?" Lucy said.
"Oh, I'm not speaking English." The Alien said. "We have implanted chips in your brains that will convert any and all alien languages to your native tongue, or to English as you have suggested. And anything you say will be converted to the language of any alien you speak to. Though to you it will feel like you're just speaking English."
"Who... what are you?" Lori asked.
"My name is Gabriel." The Alien said.
"Like the angel?" Lucy said.
"We are familiar with your concept of angels." Gabriel said. "But I am no angel. My people come from a planet called Bsepatica. Though the last human I talked to, said I had the same name as an Earth comedian. Gabriel egg something."
"Gabriel Iglesias?" Luan said.
"Yes him." Gabriel said. "Hehe his humor is quite charming. I rather enjoy his joke about the cops and the doughnuts. Didn't know what a doughnut was but I got t try one and it was amazing."
"Lizard people are real." Benny said.
"Lizard people is actually considered an offensive term to my people." Gabriel said calmly. "We prefer to be called Bsepoticans, or Raptors. But I realize you did not know this, so you are forgiven. I'm sure you have many questions."
"Are we in space?" Lola asked.
"Not yet." Gabriel replied. He flipped a switch on the wall, and a window opposite of him opened up. The Louds looked out the window to see they were miles in the sky. But still in the atmosphere.
"Good thing Clyde's not here." Lincoln said. "He's terrified of heights."
"And I'm sure the space raptors would make him a bit uncomfortable." Lynn added.
"We are in a Bsepotican cruiser, or in simpler terms a really big space ship." Gabriel explained. "We are hovering many miles into your atmosphere. The ship is cloaked so your people cannot see us, and we are just above the maximum height of your planes so we will not get hit by a passing passenger jet."
"So why aren't you just floating in space?" Lana asked. "This is a giant space ship after all."
"Like you our species needs oxygen to survive." Gabriel said. "We were unsure of how long it would take to find you. So, we hid within the planet's atmosphere in order to conserve oxygen."
"What do your people eat?" Lisa asked.
"Well, as you can probably tell by my claws and teeth, my species mainly has a carnivorous diet." Gabriel said. "However, we eat all manner of food, from meet, to fruits and vegies. Personally, I find a lot of Earth's food to be very enjoyable. I am especially fond of something called a hamburger."
"You don't eat people, do you?" Luna asked.
"The galactic federation has passed a law many years ago, prohibiting any space fairing race from hunting down members of any civilization that has developed self-awareness and/or culture for food or sport." Gabriel said. "So no, we do not eat people. Cows on the other hand, we eat a LOT of them."
"So that's what those cattle mutilations were about." Lana said.
"Do you work for the Red King?" Lincoln asked.
"Yes." Gabriel said. "The Red King is our leader, and he has ordered us to find your family and bring you to his base in the center of the galaxy. For what purpose I do not know."
"What do you guys want from us?" Lori asked.
"I just told you, I don't know." Gabriel said. "Now if you'll fallow me, I shall take you to speak with the fleet commander. I am told you have already been acquainted with him."
As Gabriel turned around, the Louds noticed the spike at the end of Gabriel's tail.
"What's that for?" Lisa asked.
"The spike?" Gabriel said. "Back in prehistoric times it was used for hunting. But now that we have become much more civilized, it's mostly used for decoration, and for making art."
"Art?" Luan asked.
"Yes." Gabriel said. "We can use it like a brush, or we can use the sharp tip to carve pictures in walls or trees. Of course, there is also the obvious uses for self-defense."
...
Gabriel lead them down a long white hallway to the main control deck of the ship. The walls of the control room where black with red lights overhead.
At the far end of the room was a massive window, looking out over a peaceful sky. A few of the Bsepotican raptor creatures inhabited the room working at desks, or just walking around.
James Prawly stood in front of the window. He turned around to look at the Loud family.
"Hello girls." Prawly said. "And boy."
"So, you're behind this!" Lincoln said.
"In a way." Prawly said. "I am second in command to the Red King."
"Second in command?" Lincoln said. "Or are you his pet?"
"Isn't his real name Sparky?" Lana asked.
"It is." Prawly said.
Lana giggled. "That's a dog's name."
"Wanna treat boy?" Lori said mockingly.
"Funny." Prawly remarked. He then turned his attention to Benny. "Wait who is this? This isn't a Loud. Who are you?"
"I'm Benny, S-Sir." Benny said. His cheeks grew red from fear. "I... I'm Luan's boyfriend."
"Get rid of him." Prawly ordered a couple of raptors. "Throw him back."
The raptors grabbed Benny by the shoulders and began to drag him away.
"Benny!" Luan yelled as Gabriel held her back.
"LUAN DON'T FORGET ME!!!!!" Benny shouted.
"I'll come back for you I promise!" Luan yelled.
The raptors put Benny into an escape pod and shot him down to the Earth.
"Are you going to let us go home?" Lori asked.
"Eventually." Prawly said. "If the Earth is still there."
"YOU'RE GOING TO BLOW UP THE EARTH!!!!!" The family yelled in shock.
"Bahahahaha! Of course, not you morons!" Prawly said. "But there is a great danger to the Earth. You'll learn more when you speak with the Red King."
"So, these are the Red King's people?" Lincoln said.
"Yes, they are." Prawly said. "For millennia the Red King grew up on the raptor's home planet of Bsepatica. Where he eventually became the ruler"
"So, is that it? The answer to the riddle?" Lincoln said. "The Red King's a dinosaur? Like a big t-rex or something?"
"Not even close." Prawly shot back. "The Red King grew up on Bsepatica, but he is not from there."
"Then where is he from?" Leni asked.
"Nobody knows." Prawly replied. "But I assure you he looks nothing like these raptors."
"He doesn't look like a spider, does he?" Leni asked.
"I don't think so?" Prawly said. "Though I'm not sure what a spider is."
"So, what now?" Lori asked.
"Well we got what we came here for, so now we blast off." Prawly said. "First we'll relay with the base we set up on the moon. Then we'll head to Pluto. There we have a station where we will create a wormhole to the center of the galaxy."
Prawly made his way to the control console of the ship and took the reins.
Prawly smiled and said. "Hail to the king."
