Hello, I'm back!
I got nothing important to say at the moment, so let's just cut back to the story.
Oh wait! I actually do have something to say actually. Black Tip's voice actor is Jonah Hill.
Ok, now we can cut back to the story.
...
...
Royal Woods, Michigan...
Within the Loud house, the Loud siblings had just got home after a rather horrifying experience at lake Sandy-Bark, and they were discussing about the two sharks at the lake. Mainly the one known as Black Tip.
Speaking of which, Lynn Senior went to see who rang the doorbell, and he and his kids were met with a shocking sight...
... it's Black Tip!
"Mr. Loud. We need to talk." Black Tip spoke with such seriousness in his tone, that it sent chills throughout Lynn Sr's already terrified being.
Especially when he stared into the shark man's intimidating stern gaze. His bright red irises combined with his slit pupils pierced through his very soul.
Despite his fear quickly increasing his heartbeat, and making his body quiver and shake like a rattlesnake tail, he's able to formulate a proper sentence. But it came in fearful stutters.
"Y-Y-Y-Y-You're t-t-the sh-sh-sha-sha-shar-shar-shar-shark-" he stuttered.
Black Tip stared at him with an unamused gaze as he listens to the somewhat balding man try to spit out a sentence.
Then Charles, one of the family pets came running, and started growling and barking at Black Tip aggressively. The shark man wasn't budging, and he wanted to show this dog who's in charge here.
"BOO!" He said, spooking Charles to where he runs away while going *Argh! Argh! Argh!*
"Honey? Who's at the door- OH MY GOD!*" Rita asks as she comes out of the kitchen, only to exclaim in shock when she sees the hulking shark man himself standing at the now open door with her husband as a teeth chattering mess.
Black Tip looks at Rita then back to Lynn. He gave up trying to speak, and is merely chattering his teeth.
He gently shoves the frightened man of the house out of the way, and closes the door behind him. The motion snaps Lynn Sr. out of his fear stricken state.
"H-Hey! You can't just-"
*Grrrrrrr!*
"Ah!"
One mean look, and a growl with his teeth bared was all it took for Black Tip to shut Lynn Sr. up.
Black Tip then made his way over to the couch where the Loud siblings are, and they're too terrified to speak or move.
The shark man leaned on his right arm on the arm of the couch as the siblings leaned away from him as he leaned in a little. He looked at the TV, which displayed an episode of Dreamboat, and then back at them.
"Whoever's got the remote, could you please pause your program for a bit?" He spoke in a somewhat monotone voice.
One of the siblings complied, and quickly paused the episode.
"Thanks." Black Tip said.
The anthropomorphic black tip shark then made his way over to the center of the living room. To him, it was a couple of simple steps. To the Loud family, it felt like a gunslinger walking out in the center of town for a showdown in those classic western movies with cowboys.
Black Tip now stood in the middle of the room. He stands in between the couch, and the TV with his arms crossed with a stern stare in his eyes.
He then notices that the Loud parents hadn't moved from their spots.
"You two, by the couch please." He ordered calmly.
"W-Why do you need us by the couch?" Rita asked.
"Because this concerns the two of you too." Black Tip answered.
The Loud parents complied, and cautiously moved to the back of the couch.
"Good. Now I can right to business. You're all probably wondering why I'm here, and how I found you. Well, to answer the first one, it's because of what happened at the lake regarding the giant monstrous tiger shark that almost ate Lincoln over here." Black Tip said.
"How do you know his name?" Lynn Jr. asked.
"Because he told me after I saved his ass." Black Tip answered.
"Language!" Rita warned.
"English." Black Tip quipped while keeping his serious demeanor up.
Luan snickered from this of course, because it was a little funny despite the fact that there's a shark man in the room.
"Wait, you told him?" Luna asked with an arched brow.
"Well, yeah, I mean he saved my life, and I didn't see a problem with it." Said Lincoln.
"And there is no problem with it, because it actually helped me find you." Black Tip said.
"And this is one of the reasons why we don't talk to strangers, kids." Rita pointed out.
"Ok, maybe that can be a problem. But in this case it isn't." Black Tip said.
"Okay, so, like, how did it help you find us?" Leni asked.
"Simple. After the incident, I did some research after learning the boy's name, and discovered that your family is rather, uh, for lack of a better term... somewhat infamous." Black Tip said.
"Our family is famous?!" Lola exclaimed with joy.
"What? No! Infamous is the opposite of famous. It's bad fame. But in your family's case, it's a mix of both. I'm not gonna bother going into detail because I have a schedule to keep. Anyways, long story short, I was able to track you down, and here I am." Black Tip explained.
"Now where was I? Oh yes! The incident at the lake. I'm here because I need to warn you of who, and what you're dealing with." Black Tip said, explaining his reason as to why he's in their house.
"Please do. We're all incredibly curious as to what kind of monstrosity that colossal Galeocerdo Cuvier is. Or street name, tiger shark." Said Lisa.
"And I will. Now, as you all probably know, that thing's name is Undertow. A highly aggressive, bloodthirsty monster, and one helluva grudge holder." Black Tip began to explain.
"So the two of you have history, correct?" Lisa asked.
"Very much so. Some of it is too personal for me to explain. So let's just say I've lost a lot because of him, and I don't want history to repeat itself." Black Tip answered.
"So you've literally fought that monster before?" Lori asked.
"Bingo. We've been on each other's tails for almost a year two years ago. During that time I've learned how he thinks, and acts. His strengths, and weaknesses. What he can, and can't do. Because let me tell ya something, he holds a grudge against those who've escaped him. Myself being one of them." Black Tip explained.
"Wait, that means he's gonna be after Lincoln?!" Lana exclaimed fearfully.
"Yes. However, he'll probably go after any of you in order to get to him." Black Tip informed.
"So you're here to inform us on this Undertow guy, and give us safety precautions?" Lynn Sr. questioned, having calmed down enough to properly speak.
"Exactly. Now here's what you need to know, first bit being pretty obvious; He can't get you on dry land as long as you're not too close to a big body of water that can house him. You all saw how he can leap out of the water like a great white catching a sea Lion on shark week." Black Tip began to explain.
"Can he appear out of any water?" Lincoln asked.
"Yes and no. It doesn't matter if the water is salt or fresh, as long as the water is vast enough, and deep enough, he can show up. So try to avoid certain lakes, and rivers if it can be helped. The most obvious one to avoid is the ocean." Said Black Tip.
"What about water parks?" Lola asked.
"Those are fine. Water parks aren't deep enough to contain him, and they provide nowhere for him to hide in order to make an ambush." Black Tip clarified.
"Why would he make a bush?" Leni asked.
"Excuse me?" Black Tip asked in confusion.
"You said he can make an ambush. So why would he make a bush if he's a shark." Leni asked.
It soon dawn onto Black Tip as to what she thinks he's talking about.
"You're not the brightest in the room, are you?" Black Tip noted.
"No she isn't." Lisa answered for him.
"Lisa!" Everyone else besides Leni and Lily scolded the child protégé.
"What? He asked." Lisa said in defense.
"Anyways, no, he doesn't make a bush, uh... sorry what's your name?" Black Tip asked.
"It's Leni." Leni answered.
"Thanks. As I was saying, an ambush isn't a bush, it's a tactic both people, and animals use in order to attack or surprise their target. For example, a lion hunting a gazelle. They hide before they attack." Black Tip explained.
"Oooooh! That totes makes more sense now!" Leni said.
"Good. Now where was I? Ah, yes. He can make portals for himself in order to enter or escape the location of the big body of water he's in." Black Tip began explaining again.
"How can he do that?" Luna asked.
"I'd... rather not say at this time." Black Tip said, sounding like it's personal for him.
"What else can he do?" Lincoln asked.
"Besides swimming, and opening portals in the water, he's capable of talking besides roaring like a monster. Although in very few gargling words due to having his throat slit years ago. Long story by the way. So hearing him speak at all is rather rare if he hasn't killed you yet." Black Tip explained.
"Can he control water like you did at the lake?" Rita asked.
"Nope. Just me." Black Tip answered.
Rita breathed a sigh of relief from hearing that.
"What strengths does he have?" Lynn Jr. asked.
"His size, and physical strength are obvious enough. He can heal himself after a certain period of time, which makes it even harder for me to take him down. He's also a fast swimmer despite his immense size, and he's intelligent enough to think of ways of taking you down. Like the whirlpool I launched Lincoln out of." Said Black Tip.
"Wait, that was you?!" Lincoln exclaimed in surprise.
"Well duh! If it weren't for me, he would've drowned you before he ate you." Black Tip confirmed.
Lincoln gulped in fear at the reminder of how he was almost eaten by that thing.
"Now moving on to his weaknesses. He's capable of staying out of the water for a certain period of time. He can breathe as long as he's still wet, even if there's no water flowing through his gills. Don't ask how that's possible. Hence why he wasn't choking on himself on the sand bar I beached him on. His other weakness is one I stated earlier, he can't get you on dry land as long as you're not too close to a big body of water. That's all I can say." Black Tip finished explaining.
There's a brief moment of silence when Black Tip finished.
"... Is that it?" Lynn Jr. asked.
"Pretty much." Said Black Tip.
"Oh... can we ask you some questions?" Lynn Jr. asked.
Black Tip looked at the time on his phone to see that he has some time before he has to leave for something important.
"I've got some time, so spill." The shark man said, putting his phone away.
"What kind of shark are you?" Lynn Jr. asked.
"An anthropomorphic black tip reef shark. Hence my name." Said Black Tip.
"What are your origins, as well as the origins of Undertow?" Lisa asked.
"I'm not obligated to tell you." Black Top answered.
"Not even in the name of science?" Lisa asked.
"No. So don't push it." Black Tip warned.
"How old are you?" Rita asked.
"I'm in my late teens." Black Tip answered.
"Do you have parents?" Lana asked.
"No." Black Tip answered.
"Can I take a DNA sample?" Lisa asked.
"No." Black Tip answered, although in a much more firm tone.
"Do you have a phone number in case we have a run-in with Undertow?" Lynn Sr. asked.
"Yes." Black Tip says, taking a card out of his pocket.
Lynn Sr. cautiously walked over to grab it, and his hand shook as he reached to grab it hesitantly due to being scared of Black Tip.
"Oh for the love of- just grab it already!" Black Tip shouted angrily, getting annoyed.
Lynn Sr. quickly snatched the card from Black Tip, and quickly made his way back to his spot by his wife behind the couch.
"Tch! Wuss. Now if you excuse me, I need to get going before anyone sees me here." Black Tip said, heading towards the door.
"Oh, and one more thing. Don't tell anyone you saw me here at your house! I'm not exactly fond of the public view at the moment. Got it?" Black Tip warned.
The whole Loud family nodded their heads in agreement.
"Good. I'll see ya around." Black Tip said before closing the door as he left.
As soon as he left, Lynn Sr. fainted onto his back.
Outside the house, Black Tip made sure that no one was watching him before he pulled the grimoire out of his vest, and opened a portal.
The portal opened in front of him, and he quickly went through, now in the I.M.P. office, then quickly closed the portal behind him.
"There he is. Hey, you done with whatever business you had to do in the living world?" Blitz asked.
"Yes. Here's the book back." Black Tip said simply, giving the book back to him.
"Thanks you. You've also arrived just in time for our lunch break." Blitzo said.
"Good, because I've got a date with my girl during my lunch break." Black Tip said.
"Seriously? Right now?" Blitz questioned.
"Oh relax, I won't be gone long." Black Tip reassured.
"Hey, Millie!" Black Tip called out.
Millie appeared around the corner of the break room door frame.
"Yeah?"
"Did you finish splitting the cash evenly? I need my cut for my lunch date." Black Tip asked.
"Sure thing, hun! Heads up!" Millie said, tossing a zip lock sandwich bag filled with cash.
"Thanks. I'll be back in a bit." Black Tip said.
