"Greeting and happy late Halloween, my dear readers!"
"If you read this story on November, but it's actually being written in late September and October." She tells.
"Anyways, let's go to our main subject." ; "You're may already overheard about Venom movies and the comics, aren't you?"
"Yes, you got it right! It is the inspiration for my written-hand story project today."
She stated. "Except the fact that the Symbiote specie won't have a relation to the new creature specie here. Then, please excuse me, how about we bring up some more info?"
"B-t-w, my brother,... Lincoln, he will be the main character in this story's play... And also his long long long arch-enemy and the gang."
...
Lucy holds and opens her book,

And she takes a sigh.
"Sigh..."
Lucy's POV:
Story: The Parasites' parade
At the Mcbride's residence,
In Clyde's bedroom.
That night, he was getting in trouble with an insomnia.
"Fifty-two sheeps, fifty-three, fifty-four, fifty-five [...] Man, this gonna takes forever!" Clyde feels tired after counting the sheeps.
"I want to go to dr. Lopez right now for another therapy!" He said. "Oh wait, this is the bedtime of her, I just can't interrupt someone's rest after a hard work day."
He took and yanked the pillow over his face.
Then, from the outside window, a bright aura shown up out of nowhere.
Clyde can be sense that thing, he immediately grabbed his glasses and looked through the window.
"*Gasp* What is that?"
The glasses boy then looked around and heard the outside sound. He thought his dads were sleeping in peace.
"Good, maybe they are won't find out if I sneak out of the house a bit." He whispered.
Clyde opened the window, and climbed out.
He went miles away from the house to reach the place that appeared the aura.
At that place, Clyde seemed lost the track of clues.
"That's weird, I thought I saw it here..."
A wind flied by.
"Speaking of which, I better go home before the wind make my skin get colder." Clyde talked im shivering.
When he turned back, he saw a... humanoid creature? who's also turned around. They were very tall and slender like Slenderman, except they about 7ft2.
They have a teen girl's look. Have black hair, the back tied into a low ponytail. Wear a white T-shirt, short puff sleeves with dark cuffs, and blue jeans. Their hands look like wearing pair of black gloves, but it's actually their real skin, the fingers are shaped to claws. A sheep's fleece on the shoulders like from the Royal cape but thing here is it doesn't have red cape behind, only that, and connect to it is a white hood from many hoodies. A pair of dark sneakers, white soles, and grey stripes on.
Clyde got his nervous somehow.
"Hey, miss..." He asked in sweating.
She turned back to him. Her face was entirely covered in black shadow. Her right brown eye look like weirdcore eye, and the left one is... a lavender oval-shaped pupil leaned compared to the other eye. She has no mouth and nose, but she maybe could talk and sniff like everybody else. On the left side forehead, there's a unicorn's crystal horn stabbed out with blood under the skin, and the horn is covered by a bandage. And the most odd feature on her is a golden monocle was upside down and it seemed to be the earring in right side.
"What's seem to be a problem, kiddo?"
"Heeeeey, good evening, miss... I'm Clyde McBride, and I came because I saw a shiny aura appeared here, what's about you?" He questioned politely.
"~Natural, thankfully that now I know your identity..." She replied.
"Wait, what-"
"Parasite Clyde, come at me, I found your body to parasitize in and merge with!" She shouted.
Then, a parasite under the boy's legs, look like dry black liquid was moving up to him. And shut his mouth to close.
The parasite came near him. She made a question.
"So, Clyde McBride, huh? I assume you must be having two fathers, am I right?"
"...How about we take them as the next victims of ours."
And after that scene is the night sky filled with Clyde's scream but no person came there for his help.
...
Next day at elementary
Lincoln's just reached his locker, put the textbooks in, and closed it.
At that moment, he saw his best friend, Clyde, who's next to him.
"Hi, Clyde!"
"Hi, Lincoln!"
"Clincoln..." The white-haired gave his hand out.
"Mc-Mc-McCloud!?" The glasses boy clapping hand with his friend.
"Sweet! But did you just stutter?" Lincoln questioned.
"Uhm, I kinda have an insomnia last night and can't go to sleep until 1 or 2 a.m in the morning." Clyde answered.
"It's ok! Hey, buddy! Wanna hang out in my house and watch ARGGH tonight?" Lincoln comforted, and invited.
"Umm-"
A voice called the white-haired in scornful.
"Well, well! Isn't that Lincoln-lame talking to his-" Chandler walked towards Lincoln and Clyde, with two his friends, Trent and Richie.
But he and his gang surprised and freaked out because Clyde's appearance there.
"Gahh!"
"Uhh, why are you guys screaming like that? And what do you want this time?" Lincoln snapped.
"Larry, look! That's not Clyde you know!" Chandler stated.
"What?!"
"Are you trying to separate our friendship, aren't you?" Lincoln doubted.
"No, I am telling the truth! That guy was not McBride." The red-haired still proceed that he's right.
"Confess it, Chandler! What make you say that?" Clyde responded in an angry tone.
"Zip it, faker! You may wouldn't understand me, Loud, but that is a fake Clyde, it's an imposter!" Chandler replied.
Both Lincoln and Clyde jaw-dropped.
Lincoln then turned himself to angry mode.
"Ok, where's the proof then? I know my best friend the most, and you think I will believe in those things you just said to me?"
"Yeah, thanks, Lincoln. You're always on my side, buddy." Clyde thanks.
"Say more bad things about my best friend, I swear I'll call you Charlie!" Lincoln warned.
Then, both two boys left Chandler and his gang.
"Shoot, this is bad!" Richie scared.
"Indeed! What should we do now?" Trent continued, and he asked the red-haired.
"Stay calm, guys! I have a plan!" Chandler narrowed his eyes towards the glasses-boy, person that he discussed was the imposter.
Three boys made a whisper together.
"Here's our plan, Trent and Richie, you two go and give Loud the signals that his so called best friend is not normal. Because what I know, imposters trying to pretend to be the originals cannot do any longer, they're going to be busted soon."
"But, I'm scared..."
"Man up, Richie, the hell why even a boy like you would afraid of random thing?"
"Fine, I'll stay focus then!"
"Ok, and me, I will go to principal and ask him to go home and tell my family about this situation."
"Anyone has any questions?"
"No!"
"Then let our operation gets started!"
...
At lunch time
Lincoln and Clyde were hung out and they just finished choosing the right table to sit.
"So, what's the menu of yours today?" Clyde asked.
"Yep, nothing's special. Mine is a bunch of two sandwiches made by my dad." Lincoln brought out his lunch out from the paper bag.
"Two sandwiches? But aren't those too much than a usual human- i mean person eating for their meal?" Clyde questioned.
"Trust me, bud. In the morning, Lynn mistakes and eats my whole lunch, so my dad cut these small pieces as the replacement." Lincoln explained in a grumpy look.
"Whoa, Lynn and her nature habitat still same after weeks not being heard."
"Hey, what about you, Clyde?"
"Oh, I got salmon and mineral water!"
Lincoln picked his bread and saw there's no ketchup.
"Damn, dad must be forgotten it when done this in a hurry." ; "Well, Clyde! I better go find Lucy to ask her for some ketchup."
"Okay, see you in minutes!"
The white-haired stood up, and left his friend.
...
After took some ketchups, he's about heading back. Lincoln caught Richie and Trent were hiding behind the plants in the corner of cafeteria area.
They two constantly moving their eyes to warn the boy at Clyde's location.
He exchanged his vision to the table where he and his friend supposed to be sitting for eating the meals.
Lincoln surprised because of that... Clyde used his tonge to lick the salmon on the plate.
The glasses boy felt he's being seen, he rolled his eyes to Lincoln. He immediately placed the plate back on table.
The white-haired went to that place.
"Clyde, what was that?" Lincoln questioned in confusing.
"I-I wassss... checking if there are any teeny tiny bugs on it. That's all!" Clyde said.
"That's weird,... I thought you hate licking bugs on food?"
"You know, thanks to that insomnia last night. Now I get my confidence and less feeling uncomfortable about trying things I dislike."
"Ooook? I guess your words make sense in this case..."
In the corner, two boys did the facepalm due Lincoln's stupidity, and he can't recognise the details that Clyde just told.
...
After taking pop-quiz in class, Clyde was finished first, also means he left first.
Lincoln finished during time of others while they're doing them.
He's about to find his friend again. Another time, Lincoln caught two allies of Chandler were sneaking on the side of the end of lockers line. While Richie was carrying by Trent.
Their movement made the pointing sign at Clyde's direction, which is the opposite side of them with a few feets away, to show the white-haired see what happened there.
Lincoln this time felt something odd goes on, so he did like what those two point as give him a message.
And then, his eyes couldn't be blinking in a half of minute because what he has seen.
In front of his view, the glasses boy was using the hand to touch things through the high slit parts of the locker. The circumstance problem here is Clyde's hand, it kinda long than every day. I mean, he didn't need to tiptoe a little to reach that, and we didn't mention the slits size are super camped and no person's fingers could put in. All he needed to do is aim the slits, and let the hand shifted close to the inside.
"C-C-Clyde...?" Lincoln stuttered.
Being heard his name, the boy pulled over his hand to its right position.
"Hi, Lincoln! You must be done with your test!" Clyde waved.
"Ummm, yeah, I totally am!" ; "But hold on for a second, Clyde! Did your hand just shifted longer through those slits?"
"No, no way!" Clyde refused and chuckled. "You know the cartoon and fantasy story logics, right? Yep, we're living this world." He changed the subject.
Meanwhile with two boys,
"Dude, what should we do? That creature still continues making the excuses!" Richie questioned.
"Shut up, Rich! Do you even care about people's live or not?" Trent replied back.
"Fine, as your assist, I agree. But if Clyde being like this, so it means his dads must be have the same situation! Let's move to phase 2 or plan B, operation making Lincoln go to Clyde's house and he gonna figure out that guy is the imposter." Richie said.
"Errrh... I thought that's a back-up one called C and phase 3 when we are failing at others? Plus, plan B is the after school one." Trent responded.
"Wait, it is?!"
"Yes, what're you thinking airhead?"
"Well, I- oh, nevermind. Change to our next plan then!"
Trent turned around and opened the door behind him. He trailed his ally go in there and they two shut the door.
After school, Lincoln waved at Clyde and he also waved back.
The McBride's car came,
"See you in class tomorrow with my presentation, Agent L!"
"You, too, Agent C!" Lincoln replied.
When Lincoln turned back, he another time saw two allies of Chandler were hiding in the bush.
"What are you two-"
Before the white-haired finished his question, other two continued pointing at the McBride's car.
Lincoln's weird feelings once more made the instinct turned back.
His vision also not only saw Clyde's odd behaviors, now it's the dads, too.
Howard's elbow was stabbed by a sharp nail, no blood spilled out. However, his expression's normal like he hadn't knew that his body part was injured badly. Harold constantly rubbing his left eye for unknown reason, as that eye was a bit green and other one is white like usual.
"Don't overthinking, Lincoln! I guess it's nothing, probably you just having a day, and seeing your friend and his dads doing weird action! "
Lincoln took a sigh, he turned left and walked home.
In the bush, two boys were annoying because Lincoln's ignorance.
"Aaaaaaaand, yep that jackass never learn his lesson at some points." Trent commented.
"Bro, shall we move to plan C?" Richie asked.
"Hell yeah, of course, where's the note?"
"Here!"
Richie gave Trent a paper, he arrange it to become a paper plane.
"Try open your eyes and see what's wrong with it, Lincoln!" Trent aimed at Lincoln's direction.
The paper plane stuck on the white-haired. Two boys immediately hided themselves in the bush.
Lincoln noticed and took the paper, and read it.
"I'm change my mind, buddy! See you at my house this afternoon - Clyde"
Lincoln heard the sound of car engine started. He turned and saw the McBrides were leaving in the opposite way of him. It must be a coincidence when both paper and Clyde's admission invite him to his house that time made the boy mistakes it.
"Gosh, I wouldn't never refuse the invitation of yours, my pal!" He smiles. And walked home.
Inside the bush,
"How good, our mission stage is clearly done in a half, Trent!"
"Yea, you can say that again. But seriously, Lincoln's blind eyes still not open and witnessed all our signals we gave him, bro!"
"I suggest we should call Chandler and ask him to buy a pair of glasses for him!"
Trent looked at the Richie in a poker-face.
"Sorry, I meant to after we do a eye-surgery on his vision and call Chandler to kill the imposters! *Chuckles*"
"*Sigh* Shut it, chuckle head! I hope our last move could work..."
"Me, too..."
...
At the McBride's residence,
Lincoln got dropped down from Vanzilla by Lori.
"Thanks for give me a drive, Lori!"
"No big deal, Lincoln! See you in the evening!"
Then, Lori drove away.
Lincoln went to the main door, he pressed the bell.
A person said. "I got it!"
The person who opened the door is none other than Harold.
"Oh, hi Lincoln!" He greeted the boy nervously and sweatingly.
"Good afternoon, Mr. McBride! Is Clyde's home?"
"Yes, he is. He's in his room to prepare for his presentation at school. Come in, boy."
Inside the house, Harold told Lincoln to go to his son's room, while he will make some snacks for them.
Outside Clyde's bedroom, Lincoln came and knocked the door.
Clyde opened the door and surprised.
"Lincoln!"
"Hey, Clyde!"
"What brings you here?" The glasses boy asked.
"What do you mean? Didn't this paper plane of yours fly over my hair about 30 minutes ago!?" The white-haired confused, he pulled out the previous paper plane that Trent aimed at him.
Clyde turned down, took a look at it, he thought in sweating.
"Wait, I had never sent this to him...! "
He grew a creepy smirk. "Hold on,... yea... now I've seen everything! "
Clyde looked up, he informed a fake smile.
"Oh yes, of course. I did that! I invited you here today to care to become one of the audience watches under the stage..." He chuckled.
The knocking sound happened again.
"Son, can we have a talk with you now?" Harold talked outside.
"Sure, dad!" Clyde replied. "Sorry, buddy! I shall be gone and have a short conversation with my dads!"
"That's all good, take your time!" Lincoln continued.
...
Outside the room, Clyde walked out and saw his dads were standing at the stairs.
He came by them. They started whispering to each other.
"Yo, dads! My friend, Lincoln, he hasn't figured out that I'm a parasite yet! This is our chance, can we connect with her now?"
"Good job, sweetie! Leave the call part to me!" Howard replied.
"In the mean time, I'll help you cover!" Harold said.
"Good, let's do this, guys!"
Downstairs inside the plants. Trent's wearing a headphone and using a tape-looking device to transfer the conversation from upstairs to his ears.
After heard the plan of imposter McBride, he called his ally from outside the house also by that headphone.
"Rich, do you copy?"
At Richie's location, he was sitting on a tall tree in front of the McBride's residence.
"Roger that! So what's the news in there, man?"
"Look, bro! I got good news and bad news. Good new is we're actually right, McBrides are imposters and they've seen to be refering themselves as 'parasites'.
"What about the bad news?!"
"Well... Clyde and his dad are trying to distract Lincoln and other dad is trying to call... someone that I don't fricking know... but I do know they refer that person as 'her', so I guess it's a she. To come and probably try to harm Lincoln."
"...Dang, that idiot doesn't have an unpleasant feeling make himself thinking that he's in danger though. He's even texting with others in that room and don't paying attention to any of these."
"Right, forget what we doing right now! You sneak and keep him always from other two, I'll call Chandler to send some more forces to come here, and stop the one who calls the ally of it."
"Seem your task is heavier than mine, thus harding things, do you wanna swap the call to Chandler to me!?"
"It's ok, I'm still good. Go ahead!"
Two boys hung up their call. And ready to do their mission again.
...
At Richie's scene,
He jumped down from the tree.
"Oow!~"
Although his back got damaged a little bit, he still continues get up and grabs the ladder to put at Clyde's bedroom's window. Climbed up there to save the white-haired.
When reached the glasses of window, he still saw Lincoln typing texts on the phone but didn't know his appearence there yet.
Richie then came up with a plan is he'll ask Lincoln to open the window and escape. Such an easiest plan ever, right? But no...
Unfortunely, when he almost knocked at the window, he can be sense the footsteps and door knob's movements. Feeling not good, he slided himself down to the ladder at few inches away from the window, in a way that people called dead corner, the angle of scene which makes vision in a location cannot be seen when there's someone or something hides in the dead corner.
The door opened, Harold and Clyde stepped in. Lincoln's attention changed immediately.
"*Whisper* Shoot! What should I do next?"
...
Meanwhile at Trent's part,
He turned on his phone and started calling his ally.
"Come on, come on! Pick up, pick up, fast!" He repeated some words.
Finally the red haired-boy did accept the call.
"This is Chandler McCann! So Tren, any goods happen with you guys!" Chandler said.
"Well, you could say our plan is done in a half, except... Can you come here to pick us up and also send some forces for beat these imposters down, please." Trent questioned in a breathy voice, as his face kinda sweating a lot as well, and grew a fake smile.
"You gotta be in trouble, am I right? I can sense you're sweating, and somehow your tone change to breathy unlike every day else!" Chandler replied in a monotone voice.
"What?! No, I'm not! It's just getting hot in this place and I quite had a hard time breathe here." Trent exclaimed.
Then, the boy felt a creature was standing and looking at him through the plant.
When turned and took a look, there are two dark tigers lookalike about 10 feets tall stood together, and looked at him, breathing hardly. The bigger one has large razor-sharp claws and teeth, two whiskers in each cheeks, two tails stuck into each other like snakes, with orange-glowing eyes. The smaller one is less scarier, it owns everything the same as the big one, but there are minor differences, such as: three whiskers in each cheeks, tails are shorter and thinner, purple eyes instead of orange. They both angry when saw Trent and think he's the intruder.
He screamed in fear. Made himself dropped the phone away and jumped outta the hiding spot.
"Well, well! Look like my girls had spotted the uninvited guest in our house!" Howard appeared without sudden movement behind the big tiger. "Good work, you two!" Two tigers purred like cats.
In front of the brown-haired now wasn't normal version of Clyde's dad anymore.
Howard's face had some black spots underneath his right cheek, and half of other below surface which is opposite with those spots, it has been covered by a whole dark liquid. Eyes without sclera nor pupils. His left hand was a big claw has dark brick-coloured, knees bend apart, legs of him turned to be wearing high heels made him nearly 8ft or might be taller.
"You-you... you are-" The boy gulped and stuttered.
Two giant tigers growling, cause Trent to zip his lips.
"Claws in, Cleo, Titi!" Howard calmed his pets down. "No need to handle him like this, we could do in another way."
Chandler shouted from the phone. "Hello, Trent, yo dude! You still there? Tell me you're alright please, and tell me that the thing I just heard wasn't from somewhat creature!"
"Chandler!!" The brown-haired tried to grab his phone was distance from him.
But the unlucky happened again, Cleopawtra, the creature with orange eyes using its sharp nails and cracked the phone screen in an instant.
"My phone..." Trent gasped.
...
At Chandler's location,
After heard a crash generated from his phone call with a friend. The phone shown that person in other side connection wasn't existed anymore.
Chandler immediately thought something bad was happening.
"Damn it!!" He slammed the cellphone of his to the table. Cause the screen to be broken into big crack ever.
He punched his fist on the desk, too. It also created a crack on that.
Then, his parents burst into his room.
"Son, what's happen?" Mr. McCann asked in worry.
"Sweetie, did your friends in danger?" Mrs. McCann also asked.
"Yes, mom..." ; "But goddamn it again, *sobs* my friends nearly..." He tears.
Mr. McCann said. "Stay patience, Chandler! Just tell us what happened?"
"There's no time, dad! Come on, we have to come to rescue Trent, Richie, and... Loud."
Seeing his son determination in the eyes, the father nodded and both of them ran outside the room.
...
Meanwhile in Clyde's bedroom,
"Hey, guys! What took you so long, its been ten minutes passed by!?" Lincoln questioned.
"Sorry, family personal problem!" Clyde answered.
"Hey, Mr. McBride! Where's Mr. McBride go?"
"Oh, he's busy to clean the house downstairs!" ; "But wait, before we started Clyde's presentation, we want to show you something 'important', Lincoln!"
"Ok...!" The white-haired tilted.
"Now!!" Clyde ordered loudly.
The room went dark, Lincoln surprised. Then, the room's lights were turned on again.
Natural, the tall lanky parasite teen that Clyde met last night appeared in the room.
"~Hi, there! It's a pleasure to meet you, Lincoln Loud!~" The parasite said and smile, revealing her pair of sharp yellow teeth.
Lincoln's expression changed fast in a flash. His body all sweated from head to legs.
"Wh-Who a-are you...!? And how do y-you know my name? *Gulp*"
"No need reasons nor why I know that! I still have a surprise for you, thanks to your friend and his dad connect to me earlier!"
"What's the meaning of this? I don't understand, Clyde, Mr. McBride?" Lincoln worried and backed at the wall.
"Ooh white-haired!!!" Natural groaned. "Any interesting in new acting role of lifetime?"
Outside the window, Richie popped his eyeballs and witnessed everything.
"Oh my god, he gonna so fucked up! I have to help him out of that physical torment right here and now! "
The black-haired boy jumped and used the hammer of his broke the window down.
Everyone in the room surprised, except Clyde.
"Yes, as I thought! " Clyde thought.
"Alrighty, you self-referred parasite!! That's enough, don't even thinking about torture Lincoln, and only my friend, Chandler could do that!!" Richie yelled against the imposters and parasite.
Then, both Harold and Clyde laughing in a mad way.
"Why the hell are you laughing like that?!"
"I pretty sure you still not get what we are, boys!" Natural said in a serious voice. From rolled her vision to Lincoln, and then Richie, by swung her head 180 degrees.
Natural turned her body around towards Richie. Her hand grabbed Lincoln's neck and he seemed has a hard moment for breathing.
Harold and Clyde revealed their true appearance. Clyde's face covered in pitch-black, his eyeballs were gone, the dizzy pupils-like has replace over it. His hands were longer and half of the elbows to hands were turning to black on the skin. The mouth became muzzle like some monsters. Harold had entirely grew taller, about 7 feets tall. From head to down apart, everywhere on him has darkest sea blue colour on the skin. The sweater and pants that he used to wear now changed to a suit with red tie, ice-symbol necklace on the collar and dress shoes. His hair was light cyan and no sign of mouth shown up.
"Don't worry, I have two choices for you!" Natural said.
"What is it?" Richie questioned.
"Easy, first one is you can leave here all by yourself and be safe with your allies!"
"Second one is Lincoln will get free, but with a condition... that means you have to replace him to your alternate version parasitize in you!"
"...So, which one do you choose?!"
"I... I... I..." Richie couldn't inform a word and he kept repeated his unfinish sentence.
...
Trent not prepared for a big ass fight between him and parasite Howard with Cleopawtra and Nefurtiti, because he didn't expect that would coming.
"Omfg, am I will be literally doomed? "
He backed at the wall in the corner of living room.
"Don't be afraid, Clyde's friend! Soon as my husband and son finish your ally and the prey as possible, they'll bring her here and your alternate version gonna parasitize you then."
"What?! You knew our plan!?!?" Trent freaked out.
"Pfft, you think I... Đôn'T!!!" Howard wheezed in a creepy way. His hair triggered his true power and the flame was firing on his head, literally.
"Ever since I born as a fire-control parasite or you can say I have power of Pyrokinesis" ; "Despite lack of knowledge, people might be only known that I could summon fire-related things, absorb flames make-from-whatsoever, and manipulate them... However, they don't or did not know that's I also can feel enemy's sweatiness due hot weather from everywhere, even around the world and help me locate their location easily." ; "Plus, I got myself pair of very well-hearing ears, so you may wouldn't surprise how do I know about your expired plan!!"
"Gosh, nice abilities by the way! But still, I cannot let you hurt anyone!" Trent replied.
Suddenly, a car crashed through the wall and Chandler jumped out of that vehicle.
"Stay away from my friend, you freak monster!" Chandler shouted, and he had a water shotgun used to shot some sort of sticky purple slime out towards Howard.
Parasite Howard seemed to be stuck in that giant slime for a while, and it can be slowed down or prevent him to use the power.
"Watch out!!" Trent warned loudly.
Chandler turned and saw a large-sized hairball dashed at him. He quickly dodged it, the hairball was fill with disgusting saliva mixing horrible smell. Looked upwards and witnessed the big creatures that he has ever seen.
Then, two shadows shown up and they stopped the big cats by keeping them busy against the walls.
And they two were actually Stan and Steak Stankco that Lincoln and his dad used to battle together in Legends of the Hidden Temple competition.
"Go on and take that wheephead out from this stage, weak dude!" Steak said.
"In the meantime, me and my son will keep these guys busy! Tell him it's our territory now to be played with these unhumans, red head!" Stan continued.
Chandler nodded. He gave Trent a hand, and he stood up. Two boys ran upstairs.
Cleopawtra and Nefertiti's sharp claws growing out to scare enemies.
Both father and son realeased the four-legged from their strong grips.
"Ohoho! Man, look at what are they showing us!" Steak surprised with a smug smirk.
"Hah!! I bet they don't really know what two of our secret learning-skills, son!" Stan replied.
And two of them pulled the shurikens out of their pockets.
"Let's see which one is better..!"
...
Richie still couldn't choose a thing, plus Lincoln being held as a hostage making his decision more heavier to carry on.
"Tick tock! Time's up!" Natural stated. "Sorry, but I will take this boy to be my next victim!"
The parasite opened her mouth, just like Pennywise underneath its costume, there were a lot of teeth behind the unseen mouth, she sticks her tough near Lincoln's skin.
"Damn, your skin is wonderful than ever. Unfortunely, your alternate version is quite the opposite, because his skin is fucking cold and wet, too. He isn't standing a chance to compare with you...~"
A dry liquid came out from her mouth. It floated down to the floor.
"Stop-" Richie yelled but felt something was holding his legs back.
When looked down, he surprised because there's a frozen ice keeping him.
"What and when the hell is this ice got in my legs?"
"Love my ice power, boy!" Harold asked in his pouting tone.
Richie worried and thought he's useless now, cause he didn't know what to do next. But he remembered he still can do a thing.
Pulled his shotgun out from his back (cartoon logic?) . Use it to shot a sticky purple slime at the new liquid. It stuck under that thing and couldn't move anymore.
"What the fuck?!?! You fucking asshole, what did you do!?" Natural cursed.
"Oh, I'm just practice shooting targets, didn't expect that my bullet would come right at one of your slaves..." Richie replied and laughed. That made her groaned.
"The heck why you two stand are looking for!! Eat that shit's head for me!!" Natural ordered Clyde and Harold.
Next, the boy's allies finally reached the room.
"Step back from my friend, twerp! Only me could do something with him!" Chandler said.
"Me, too." Trent also exclaimed.
"Chandler, Trent! You came!!" Richie shouted in excitement. Lincoln gasped while he still be hold.
"Eat these, freaks!!" The red-haired shot two slimes towards those father and son.
As the results, Clyde and Harold laid on the floor and themselves are stiffless.
"What in the world? How did you manage to get over here, aren't Howard and other two supposed to stopping you there?" Natural growled angrily.
"Well, unlike you think, my friend, Chandler has been brought here some support allies. They are handling those ones downstairs!" Trent responded in a smug face.
"Ok, enough is enough! Put Loud down now!" Chandler picked up and pointed the gun to the parasite.
"...What if when I say no?" Natural questioned in a monotone voice.
"Then that means you're going down!!"
A sound of bullet shooting happened, Natural was defeated as other parasitic creatures were.
Lincoln atleast free from now on, he's constantly breathing non-stop and kinda traumatized about the situation.
"Hey, Loud! Are you... okay?" Chandler carefully asked made that one of the awkward moment in his life.
"Chandler,... I-I-"
"Shut it up, Larry! I know you're trying apologize me, but let's settle this after we get out of this place!"
Trent finished helping Richie out of the frozen ice.
"Wait!... Before go, you all have to give me an apologize first!"
The four boys turned and saw Natural already escaped from the slime.
"You just escaped!"
"How's that possible?"
"Dude, is your weapon got a problem?"
"The hell? My shotgun had never broken since it was created, y'know!"
"The boy was incredibly right, glasses kid. Because myself is a... very different parasite from other ones." She stated.
"I could slide through tiny spaces no matter how small they are. I also can regenerate my body parts fast and remove the previous injured ones out of the existence. And let's conclude that I am forever immortal..."
Four boys scared, they backwards because they knew it useless to be used that kind of gun they're holding.
Suddenly, three men in black suit joined in the room by swung through breaking the walls at window side.
"By the rules I learnt, you should be away from McCann's Jr." Man 1 ordered.
As man 2 and man 3 carried a big machine gun.
"...I guess this gonna be pain a while for me!" Natural whispered.
Bunch of bullets shot at the parasite. Created holes through on her body.
"Great! She downs! Let's go!"
"I-I don't th-think you did k-kill her that e-easily!"
Natural stood up and her body was remaking all the introspects inside her.
"I have to confess this, those bullets you shoot me just like flies who tries to bite my skin."
Three men jaw-dropped.
"This could be a tough fight!"
"You kids run and go back to the headquarter!"
"We'll stay to beat this monster!"
They nodded and left Clyde's bedroom.
...
At the headquarter,
Lincoln and his non-ally gang stepped in a room.
A lot of people in that made the white-haired surprised.
In fact, those people in room used to play antagonist role in episodes before season 5 of TLH started.
There were Scoots, Flip, Lord Tetherby and his henchmen, Principal Huggins, Hawk and Hank, Bratty kid, etc.etc
"*Gasp* Why are you guys... here!?" Lincoln pointed at each of them.
"Zip over your mouth, you spider hugger!" A familiar voice said to him.
Lincoln rolled his vision and saw the exterminator that his dad hired to kill his class pet, Frances, due to his arachnophobia in "Along came a sister".
"You, too?"
"Shut the hell up, I am working on my project and find the way to kill the new powerful creature specie out there! Me being called here thanks to you and your 'friends' are gathered in team with us."
Then, Exterminator left and went to the planning table.
As Stan and Steak Stankco joined the table as well with people by walking through door that four boys just went to.
"So, Chandler... Any explain to let me know why are these means in this place? Am I gonna get insult by them...?" Lincoln asked softly.
"No, no, no! Nothing to be worried! I have been tossed their bad thoughts away in 3 weeks. They accept to become your friends and we're all allies now."
Lincoln took a look at his arch-enemy. The white-haired first time ever saw the person he dislikes, he's acting so open toward him, unlike usual that Chandler would scoff and annoy him instead. What kind of odd things make the boy change so much?
...
Mr McCann and Mrs McCann gathered in room everybody else.
Chandler's father cleared his throat and started the explanation.
"Hello, everyone! I am pretty sure you all know why I invited you guys here, right?" ; "But to be sure, I will summary the thing here once again... According to the McCann's ancestor past life, my great-great grandma Clarabelle or Clara, she can predict the future, 'cause she used to study a teacher named Harriet when she was alive. Although the teacher is younger than her more than ten years but Clara very respect and love her teacher." ; "One day, after dealing with my great-uncle's sleep, she returned back to her room and took a nap. Like everyone or everything rest after a long hard-working day over... Nevertheless, she saw the prediction about our period timeline could be in danger. Clara immediately took a piece of paper, wrote everything she's seen in that dream, next generations have to follow the rules of her, and it considered us that it's very important; If anyone in our relatives break the rules, there'll be a high pay for them..."
"Ok, Chandler, sweetie! Dad is done! You go on!"
The red-haired started. "First of all, I want to say sorry for all I did to one of the students at school, Lincoln Loud. I didn't want to bully him though, but it's the rules of my deceased great-great-grandma, I must obey and get to used to it every day. Along with people in here play a vital roles in the history. Second, Loud or... Lincoln I hope you not too upset about the thing I will talk to you, your family is no longer in our side anymore, they've been turned into one of those monsters by the person who hehind all of these..."
That sounds like a disaster to him, he felt angry from the inside because the McCann family did not save his family in there.
Lincoln ran outside the room with tears on his face.
"Hey, wait...!"
"Dudes, could you explain the rest of my presentation to me, I have to follow that idiot to make sure that nothing can be harm him!"
"Ok!"
"Alright!"
...
Somewhere in town, the sunset had bright red color, clouds were gray and more like smoke or dust.
Houses were broke down like they've been abandoned for a long time.
Chandler's holding his gun and tried to looking for Lincoln.
"Loud!! Where are you?! Larry!! Lincoln-lame!!"
He kept repeating to call the white-haired.
"Wait, what if he isn't in here...?"
"...Because I just broke his feeling by told him that his family aren't being normal human anymore! He gonna be at the Loud house to check on them..." The boy whispered in worry. "...And maybe in danger if others are actually parasites..."
He rubbed his chin.
"According to his address from Principal Huggins, it is... 1216, Franklin Avenue?
At 1216 Franklin Avenue,
In front of the Loud residence. Like any other house, it must've gotten in a high damage from something so strong and then ended up became a pile of dump.
"There should be it!"
Suddenly, at the main entrance, a tall girl-figure like got blasted out of the house.
Saw it, Chandler quickly dodges without thinking.
The girl-figure laid her back at the street lamp.
Lincoln appeared inside along with a rifle in his hands.
"Chandler!! What are you doing here?!"
"What do you mean?! I was worrying about you, that's why I try to find you till now!!"
"So... you did care for me?"
"Of course not, idiot white hair!!" He blushed in embarrassment.
The red-haired boy looked down instead of his former bullied victim.
"It's complicated to show my real act... after what I've been forced to do... something that isn't real me."
"...I understood what happen to your family's rules... Am I one of the choose to face on this 'special occasion day'?"
"You can say so...!"
The tall girl-figure became still and she's ready to fight again.
"That's it!! You have to pay for this, Lincoln!!" Her voice was a mixture of 10 different female voices.
Two boys attention turned to that figure.
"Holy crap! Is she a fusion of someone with someone?"
"Yeeeeah, they're my sisters, they were parasitized by that Natural lady along with my parents... I got no hope, so I attacked my mom and dad with this rifle, they escaped to tell that mastermind monster, and all of my sisters fused themselves together to kick my butt." ; "I called them, Lorniunanynnucanlalisly!"
"Sheesh! How many times do your sisters trying to kick your butt anyway?"
"I don't count but probably certain amount of times in the past since Lily was five."
"I'LL KILL YOU ALL!!!" Lorniunanynnucanlalisly roared.
Ironically, Chandler only needed to shoot once and the Loud sisters fusion fell off again.
"See! My type of gun is better than yours!"
"I suggest you may wanna erase thing you just said! Because Lynn has super strength, and basically Lorniunanynnucanlalisly is a fusion make 10 non-human girls shared a body and mind with their parasite powers." Lincoln explained.
Lorniunanynnucanlalisly stood up again despite the slime's grip.
"Oh, crud! We're doomed!" He said.
"Hahaha!! That is the best 'slight' slime shot ever!! Get it!?" Voice of Luan spoke and laughed at the same time. "But seriously, we're done after a bunch of times get eating pains by you two!"
"And you may prepare meet our boss! She's a real one you could never beaten until you die..." Voice of Lisa commented.
Two boys got furious and sweating when Lisa's voice told them, especially Lincoln. He swore he'll capture Natural for what she did to his family make they all infected now.
"*Lori's voice* Ooh!~ The babies are scare!! *Lynn Jr's voice* Weak, scaredy cat!! Hahah!! *Lily's giggles*... *Leni's demonic tone* Little Linky is afraid, let's give him a hug-"
"Shut the fuck up! You're not my real sisters! I wish my parasite version hate all of you and rather stick to help me instead be in your slut side, you abomination of bitches and little brats!!" Lincoln sobbed and cried out loud.
The white-haired used cussed words made Lorniunanynnucanlalisly triggered their anger.
Another two slimes flied to the figure's legs.
"Slime's in action! You're under arrested!" Richie said.
They turned and saw two allies of Lincoln and Chandler were come.
"Uhh! Thanks for keeping that amalgamation of Lincoln's sisters, but it's useless to use that kind of gun."
"*Realize* Don't tell me they can handle our weapon?" Trent said.
"Exactly!!" All ten voices added. "Wait till she joins the chat, boys!"
Then, the figure disappeared by dissolving herself in the air.
"Guys, we should probably run now!!"
"I have the same thing to say! 'Cause I feel something bad will happen to us..."
"Come on, let's get to my mansion! I got some back-up supplies to update our team and others!"
Four boys immediately running and running, they refused to stop nor taking a break.
To Chandler's family mansion, they were picked some stuff to add and medicine for treatment. After finished grab the stuff, they began to head to the headquarter again and gather with the team.
Unfortunely, in the middle of a random street.
"Are you serious to give Mr. Exterminator guy these kinds of radioactive energy sources for his work?" Lincoln questioned, while he's carrying a suitcase.
"Yeah, didn't mention they can be a harmful thing to humanity as the parasites as well." Trent continued.
"Tchs, nah! We'll be fine... if we stay away from these chemistry bottles!" Chandler responded.
"And please help me with these adjustment and accessories in fighting, guys!" Richie coughed, he's carrying a large bag on him and spoke in hard breathing tone.
Other three gave him poker-faces.
"You have to carry it faster, Rich!"
"Fine! But hey, I saw someone familiar over there, guys!"
They looked toward the way they walked.
...
A black shadow man was talking to Natural.
"I am so appreciate your work, young miss! Now this whole Earth has fall into chaos, I'm very happy about it!" He said proudly.
"Tch!! Forget it! So the deal is the deal! Where is she?" She growled.
The shadow man handed out, he teleported a short teen in front of him.
"Jasmin, you are offcially free!" The man said and he disappeared.
Jasmin, the short teen, she's about 4ft11. Opposite with Natural, she is total positive energy and cheerful normal girl. She has straight black hair, her ponytail is tied up high on back forehead. She wears a black hoodie, white zippers, black fingerless gloves. White shorts, socks, cyan shoes and white soles.
Jasmin was untie, she's leaping onto Natural and hugging her.
"Thank you, N! I know you had to do something bad for a universe and face a high consequence for that! Don't worry, I never hesitate to help you rebuild everything."
The parasite saw her friend's happiness, which causing her speechless and giving the girl silent treatment.
"How about we going home? The others are waiting for you!" Natural suggested, she picked her friend up.
"Sure, they'll rate you when see you save me from ¥!_@#$*;%" Jasmin commented.
At distance away, the four cannot hear well what's the conversation between Jasmin and Natural. They kinda misunderstood that the parasite gonna eat the random girl.
"Stop!!"
Two girls turned around and saw the boys were gun-in-hand.
"The heck, are you even here by any minutes? I've been searching you for 2 hours!"
"Who are those little boys, N?" Jasmin questioned.
"Uhm, well I-"
"Wait, do you two know each other?" Richie asked.
"Yes, we do!" Jasmin answered.
"Oh well, another Leni?" Lincoln theorized.
"Who is Leni?"
"Alright, that's enough, let's settle this right here!" ; "Jasmin, go home!" Natural threw Jasmin delightly down, a white aura portal appeared under and she fell in and it closed.
...
After sent her friend somewhere in other side of the portal.
"Now..., it's time... for me... to clean the annoying problem you brought here!" She shifted her hands down like an ape.
"And let's see which side will win in this 1 parasite vs over 50 people match!" Chandler smirked.
"Hmm?"
Then, a lot of people in team gathered with four boys by swung the ropes down to the ground on top of helicopters, they were control by Chandler's parents.
"You all think I'm alone?!" Natural tilted. She blinked only once, and lots of parasites of Royal Woods citizens shown up.
Everybody in heroic team surprised.
"They are much many more than us!"
"Who cares? Let's this battle begins!"
"Oh god, please help me remove these heroes wannabe!!" The parasite facepalmed and made a tired gaze toward humanity tried to against her.
"...Welp, this could be taking a while and it might not has a none reward ending though..."
"...But let's see how long it can be held..."
Parasites and Humans battle is just begun.
Nothing is great when Humans attack Parasites without reason.
And nothing is great when Parasites created the revolution to protect themselves from all the mankind.
Thus starting an activity in Royal Woods town called, "The Parasites' parade".
...
The end
Lucy closes her book within by quiet and peaceful space.
"You know what? The story I just tell you like having a few things in life might come with us, but it's kinda not as what we expected..."
"Here's the message in today's story telling..."
"...Sometimes, friends can be foes, or foes can be friends..."
"...Bad might be good, or good might be bad..."
"...Enemies could be allies, or allies could be enemies..."
"...The beginning and the end of everything are the same thing,... like a key that we use to unlock the new door to another new event starts..."
"End quote,
-Lucy L."
Lucy stands still, she keeps her poker-face and a binary code shown up.

Then the girl takes a bow.
"Thanks and goodbye, see you next year, dear readers!"
And Lucy fades herself in the dark.
