As Todd got farther out of the lake, picking up a ton of speed, he covered up the moon, causing darkness to spread throughout Arlen. The news helicopter hovered over Dale's house, lowering onto their lawn. Nancy and the pilot got out, as Dale and Joseph greeted her.
"Mom! Your ok." Joseph said, hugging her. Nancy looked as if she wanted to be somewhere else.
"Um, Dale, this whole situation is giving me a headache." Nancy said, trying to make an excuse to go over
John Redcorn's trailer. "I need to have a healing session." Dale and Joseph looked at eachother in confusion. Why did she want to do this now? Before they could say anything to her, she went into her car and left.
"What do we do now dad?" Joseph said, looking concerned.
"We take this creature down…" Dale said, going back into his house. He went to his basement and grabbed a missal launcher. He went back outside and put his hand on Joseph's shoulder.
"Joseph, you need to get out of here." Dale said. He gave him the keys to his Winnebago and two walkie-talkies. "We'll keep in touch. But you have to leave Arlen. Now! I'm gonna take this monster down…" Joseph got in the Winnebago, while Dale got in the news helicopter.
"Bring me over to the beast!" Dale said, talking to the pilot. Connie was driving on a highway, confused and lost. She didn't know how to control a giant van. It was dark, and she couldn't see. She was banging her head against the steering wheel.
"I'm such an idiot!" Connie said. Meanwhile, Todd stopped once again, introducing himself to everyone.
"HELLO EVERYBODY! MY NAME IS TODD!" He said, in a deep and slow voice. Everyone in Arlen was screaming. The Mega-Lo-Mart was crowded. Anarchy ravaged throughout the town.
"Hey you! That's my toilet paper!" Buck Strickland said, as he punched Boomhaur in the face. Boomhaur was over at the Mega-Lo-Mart, trying to store up on food and items.
"Dang ol' man, dat's the last toilet paper dangit!" Boomhaur got up, with a bloody nose, and jumped on top of Strickland, biting his ear almost completely off. He took his toilet paper and put it in his cart. Boomhaur left the store, pushing the heavy cart across the parking lot. That is, until a truck collided into him, causing him to fly up in the air, face planting into the concrete.
"Agh! Dang ol' man, I can't get up!" Boomhaur said, dragging his body back to the store's entrance. He laid against the brick wall, looking at all of his groceries spilled across the floor. He saw his car straight ahead. Boomhaur needed to get out of here, but there were too many people. Hank and Bobby drove over at Strickland Propane.
"What are we doing here dad?" Bobby said.
"We're saving Strickland propane." Hank said. Hank got Ladybird out, and the three went to the back. Hank grabbed several propane tanks and put it in their company's truck. He took his shirt off.
"Bobby, don't look!" Hank said, since he didn't want Bobby seeing him half naked. Bobby put his hands over his eyes. Hank wrapped his shirt over his fist and punched through the truck's glass, unlocking it from the inside. He put his shirt back on.
"Alright Bobby, you can look now." Hank said. Bobby put Ladybird in the back, and got into the passenger's seat. Hank got in the driver's seat.
"But dad, there's no key to drive the truck." Bobby said. Hank pulled out a fishing hook he kept in his pocket.
"Hmm, maybe I can start the truck using this hook." Hank said. I took several tries, but he managed to start the car off.
"Wow dad, you're cool!" Bobby said, thinking about him as some kind of action hero. Meanwhile, Connie gave up and Left his father's van. She decided to hitchhike. She lucked out and saw Joseph driving down the highway.
"Connie?" Joseph said. He opened the door so she can get in.
"What are you doing?" Said Joseph
"I'm sick of my parents, so I left them by hijacking their vehicle." Connie said. "But I got lost and decided to hitchhike."
"Well, with my dad's gps, I'm able to get out of Arlen." Joseph said. Connie smacked her forehead.
"My dad had a gps too! Stupid, stupid me!" Connie said, always beating herself up.
"Dad, where are you?" Joseph said, talking into his Walkie-Talkie.
"I'm almost near Todd-I mean the creature!" Dale said, correcting himself.
"Well, It might take me some hours getting out of Arlen. But be careful dad! And make sure find mom after your done." Joseph said. Dale had the perfect opportunity to kill Todd. He had stopped pulling himself out of the water. The helicopter hovered over to Todd's giant, pudgy face. Dale pointed his missal launcher at his eye.
"Goodbye Todd..." Dale said. He fired the missal towards his eye. But suddenly, Todd moved his head, aligning his mouth with the missal.
"NUM!" Todd said, swallowing the missal.
"No! He ate it! Get me outta here!" Dale said, as the helicopter flew away. Todd was unstoppable. All they could do now is leave Arlen.
"MMM... NOW, LET'S GET BACK TO WORK!" Todd said to himself. He began pulling out of the lake for the third time. This time he was faster than ever. He was almost halfway to belly flopping on Arlen. Meanwhile, Peggy knew she was done for. She spent her final hours playing boggle. She shook the letters up like never before.
"Come... On... Hoya!" Peggy said, finished shaking up the letters. She examined the words.
"Let's see here." Peggy said. "Die... Dead... Killed... Deceased.." She began to get angry at the ironic words.
"I can't believe we lost our daughter." Kahn said. He was angry that Minh didn't leave the house in time.
"Look Kahn, she might have left us, but atleast she's surviving." Minh said. Connie and Joseph were driving across a long road. There was a narrow bridge ahead. Joseph started to panic.
"Oh man! It's a bridge! What if we fall off?" Joseph said, as his hormonal mood swings got the best of him. Connie was no help either, since she was also stressed out.
"Just chill dude! Let me have the steering wheel!" Connie said, grabbing the wheel.
"No! Your gonna break it!" Joseph said. They fought over the steering. When they got on the bridge, Connie pushed Joseph off his seat, while he was still holding on. The Winnebago turned to the far left, falling off the bridge. It was a river. They drifted away, having no control of the vehicle.
"Dang it Joseph, your such an idiot! You should've let me drive!" Connie said. The two yelled back and forth, as they entered a tunnel, unable to see anything. They hit a rock, preventing the vehicle to move any further. Arlen was an hour away from destruction.
