Chapter 5 – "Realization of Reality"SLAM!
The door closed to the outside world, and their brother Lincoln. The girls looked through the peep hole, each taking turns, well the ones that were tall enough to anyway. They looked out to see their only brother sleeping outside the house in their back yard.
"Are you sure we should be doing this dude? It doesn't feel right" Luna asked.
"Of COARSE we should be doing this Luna! He made me lose my very important softball game!" Lynn replied.
"It's not like that was a very important game Lynn, we shouldn't be doing this!" Lori said to Lynn.
Lynn was about to speak when Lisa came to her side.
"Trust Lynn and I, my studies were purely scientific!"
"What are even the chances of Lincoln coming to the ONE GAME where you lose?" Lori asked.
"Ladies! Can you stop yelling, it's dark out, let's go to bed! I need my beauty sleep!" Lola yelled at the top of her lungs.
Everyone mumbled in agreement as they all went up to their beds, except Luna who sat on the couch looking at Lincoln struggle to get out of the ropes they tied him up with.
"Maybe they are right." Luna sighed as she pulled a blanket over herself. "I'm going to sleep here tonight, after some tunes."
Luna pulled out some headphones and proceeded to put them in her ears, cranking up the volume.
Everyone was in bed now, drifting away in their sleep.
CRASH!
Everyone ran to the nearest window to see Van-Zilla crashed into Clyde's garage. Their dad got out of the now-damaged van, slamming the door in the process and stormed back to the house.
No one wanted to be on dad's bad side, so everyone went back to their beds. Except for Luna, who was still listening to her tunes under a blanket for the last couple of hours. Luna thought she had enough late-night tunes for a couple more hours, then she felt a tap on her shoulder.
Luna lifted the blanket to see her father standing over her. Luna took out the headphones, so loud that you could still hear them clearly.
"Turn off your." He looked at the music. "Smashing Pumpkins, and go to Clyde's house immediately! Talk some sense into that brother of yours, I'm going into the kitchen."
"But, it's ext— "
"I don't care if it is dark out, go!"
As her father left for the kitchen, Luna got up and walked over to the door. It was pitch black outside; the street lamps were off when they should be on. Luna almost didn't see the black car zoom past their house. Luna heard Mr. Grouse shout from next-door.
"Are You Blind! The Speed Limit Is 15!"
He then muttered something Luna couldn't hear. But then, on the opposite side of the road was Lincoln, running at his top speed, almost rivaling Lynn for how fast someone could run. Luna knew she couldn't catch up to Lincoln, she went back inside.
Luna saw her father in front of the TV eating a carton of ice cream. She ran towards her room and plugged an air guitar into an amp. She played a chord. The noise travelled all throughout the house.
Everyone got out of their rooms to see what all the commotion was all about.
"LUNA! Why are you playing at this hour! I need my BEAUTY SLEEP!" Lola screamed.
"Why would you wake us up at 4am?" Lori asked.
"I was already awake." Lucy said not understanding the situation.
"I saw Lincoln guys, he is running away from home!" Luna retold the story to her comrades.
Their mouths were open as Luna told the story to them, well, almost everyone's mouth was ajar.
Lynn was our only exception.
"Who cares if he runs away, he ruined my chances of winning every game of the season!" Lynn argued, not caring for her only brother. As soon as Lynn spoke that line, her mother approached the group of sisters from behind.
"Lynn Jr! Where are your manners! I know Lincoln's bad luck is an annoyance, but if we really love him we wouldn't care who he is or what he does." Her mother spoke in a harsh tone, "I'd help out too but your father is having one of his ice-cream fits again."
"That's fine mom, we got this." Lori said confidently "We should split up into groups of two or three, since Lily is still fast asleep."
"I suggest we split into one eldest sibling and one youngster sibling." Lisa suggested, "Except, let's not play like a high-school dodgeball game like we did last time, huh Lynn."
"I know what we have to do!" Leni said. "I'll go with Lucy to Mr. Grouse's house to borrow his car, then I'll drive it and rescue Lincoln!"
"Uh, Leni, can you even drive yet?" Lucy asked, "I'd feel much safer with Lori driving."
"Sure Lucy, you can go with me." Lori responded.
"I'll go with Leni." Lisa says, "Put together our IQ's should rival Einstein, although if I chose anyone else it would surpass Einstein by a large margin…"
"Enough science talk Lisa." Luna says, I'll go with Lana and Lola."
"Since when were we one person?!" Lola asked.
"Yeah, I don't want to be stuck with my little pony over here." Lana responded.
"Too bad, Lynn and Luan, you two are pairing up too." Lori said, "C'mon Lucy, let's go talk to Mr. Grouse."
"Sure." Lucy responded in a monotone voice.
The girls put their hands together, well, all except Lynn.
"3, 2, 1, Go Louds!" The group said all at the same time. They then split up to do the various tasks they were assigned.
-Lori and Lucy—As Lori and Lucy approached Mr. Grouse's house, something felt, off.
"Lori, I'm sensing spirits from years past." Lucy said "I must concentrate in order to listen."
"C'mon Lucy, enough of your spirit shenanigans. We have a mission to do." Lori said as she rang the doorbell.
No one answers.
"Typical Mr. Grouse." Lori says pushing open the closed door. The door creaked open as the smell of old man reeked the house.
Lori plugged her nose as the two sisters walked in the house.
"Why aren't you plugging your nose Lucy, it's disgusting in here." Lori asked.
"I guess I'm used to the smell of burning flesh." Lucy responded in her traditional monotone voice.
"WAIT—did you say burning flesh?"
The two of them looked at each other, then looked to see smoke coming from upstairs.
As soon as they saw the smoke they both ran up the stairs, plugged their noses and opened Mr. Grouse's door to his bedroom to see what was left of his body, still a light with fire.
The two girls were frozen in sight seeing the deformed body of Mr. Grouse.
"Awesome" Lucy said.
"LUCY! Why do you always have to be so morbid all the time!" Lori said to Lucy.
Suddenly, out of no-where a bald man ran out of the bathroom and proceeded to jump out of Mr. Grouse's window before saying.
"Revali Boots!"
Blue flame shot out of his knee-high boots as he flew away. The girls were speechless once again. Lori gripped Lucy's hand as they ran back down the stairs and out of the now dead old man's house. Lori pulled out her phone and immediately called 9-1-1,
"The cops and firefighters will be here shortly Lucy, we just need to wait." Lori said to Lucy.
-Lisa and Leni—"Come, sister to my bedroom." Lisa said to Leni.
"Sister? I thought we were hairless monkeys?" Leni asked.
"You are, I'm just—" Lisa froze in thought "Never mind, it wouldn't make sense to your miniscule brain anyway."
"Now, then, if you see here I have this highly scientific mapping system known as a GPS here, tracking all of your known locations." Lisa said "I can trust you with this knowledge because of your dim-witted nature."
"GPS? Girls Play Soccer?" Leni asked.
"Perfect." Lisa muttered to herself.
Lisa looked down at her GPS looking at all the dots.
"Let's see, Lucy and Lori are next-door, we are right here. The twins and Luna are currently in the garage, currently moving out of the house at a rapid pace, Luan and Lynn are on the sidewalk, hmm, no Lincoln. Fascinating. Got all of that Leni?"
Leni was looking at her phone.
"Ooooh, look at that Lisa, wouldn't that look great on me?!"
Lisa took a look at the cellular devise.
"Sure, looks good." Lisa said spitting all over the phone.
"Say, Lisa, do you smell smoke?" Leni asked. "Do you think dad's making lasagna again?"
"I have nasi obstructio, nasal congestion. Do you think I can smell?"
Leni looked up from her phone and snapped a picture of the window.
"Let me see that. I can't have you take pictures in here." Lisa said taking the phone.
"It's a snapchat! It'll go away soon enough don't worry." Leni responded "Those fireworks in the photo looked amazing!"
Lisa took a look at the picture and it disappeared.
"Hold up, bring the picture back! I must study the strange blue light!" Lisa said "Bring the picture back you hairless monkey!"
"You can try, it won't come back." Leni said.
"I will be here for hours if I must! I demand silence! Step out of the room and sit yourself down next to the door." Lisa responded.
Leni did exactly that as Lisa slammed the door in her face.
-Luna, Lana and Lola—"We have to run after Lincoln guys, what is the fastest way to get to him?" Luna asks.
"Oh, I know, my pretty princess car!" Lola says. "But I'm not letting Lana in it."
"Why not!" Lana asks.
"C'mon dudes, we have no time for this. Everyone in the pretty princess car!" Luna yells.
Lana and Lola run to scramble to the car to get the "shotgun" seat, as Luna runs to open the garage doors so the car can get out. Luna hops in and they rush out of the garage, at a high speed of five miles per hour.
"Maybe we should've run to catch up with him." Luna thinks. "Too late now I guess."
"Revali Boots!"
The gang stops the car and turns around to see a bald man with rocket boots fly out of Mr. Grouse's house and land on the road directly in-front of them. He pulls out an oval shaped devise.
"Boss! I have detected some collarmen. They stand no chance."
He pulled out a sphere-like shape out of thin air and tossed it at the car. Luna jumped out of the way and so did Lana.
"My seatbelt is stuck! Someone help me!" Lola shrieked.
"That's why you don't wear seatbelts sis!" Lana said to her twin.
A dark red gas steamed out of the ball and engulfed Lola, she started violently coughing.
The bald man ran at Lola as he pulled out a different oval-shaped object placed it on the ground, grabbed Lola and tossed her into it.
"You monster! Who are you!" Luna yelled.
"The name's Kitz. But you can call me your downfall."
Kitz pulled out a small hand gun and aimed it at Luna.
"Welcome to your doom." Kitz said as he pulled the trigger.
A dark-red beam of light shot out of the gun. Luna closed her eyes awaiting impact. He was right, he would be her doom, but not today as Lana saw what was going on and jumped.
Luna opened her eyes a crack, she wasn't injured. Kitz was still up ahead. She looked down at her feet to see Lana on the ground motionless. She looked back up.
"You got lucky you have so many expendable sisters. But I don't see any more here." Kitz said "Your luck just ran out."
Luna knew what she had to do. Run.
"Your sisters can't help you here." Kitz said "Revali Boots! I'll save you for later sweetheart, there are more pressing matters to attend too."
Lana was dragged by the force of the oval in the ground and was sucked in.
-Lynn and Luan—"One last joke Luan." Lynn said.
"Okay, here is one; What did the mother bull say to her son on the first day of kindergarten?"
"I don't know, what?" Lynn said.
"BISON!" Luan said chuckling to herself "Okay, enough jokes, we gotta find Lincoln!"
"Why bother." Lynn said.
All of a sudden Luna ran into the house.
"Lynn! Luan! We gotta run!" Luna said.
"What's the problem, we were about to go the Clyde's house to find any clues of Lincoln." Luan said.
"There is this man trying to kill me outside!" Luna said frantically.
"Okay, let's go through the backyards to get to Clyde's house then easy." Luan suggested.
"You do that, I have other stuff to do that is more important than Lincoln." Lynn said.
Luna grabbed Lynn by the ear and pulled her through the backyard to get to Clyde's house
XXX
They arrived at Clyde's house to see the door open a crack. They opened the door and heard yelling coming from the second story of the house.
"What's going on with Clyde's parents?" Luan asked in a whisper.
"Only one way to find out." Luna said as she quietly walked up the stairs.
They creeped up next to the door and then opened it up with a slam. It was Howard and Harold, and one other man.
"Kitz." Luna said, clearly remembering him.
Kitz put his hands on the parent's heads as a light blue liquid fell down their heads, freezing them in time itself.
"Oh, yes it's the girl from before. Charmed I'm sure to be in my presence. I don't have much time with you two, I have orders from the boss to take these two in custody, and more." Kitz said as he pulled the same handgun from before. "But what's one more, adding a third is much different than adding a second."
Lynn pulled up her sleeves. She was ready to pounce.
"Listen mister, I don't know who you are…"
"Kitz."
"Yeah, I don't care, if you put one finger on my sisters, you are toast!"
"What about your brother, cause I'm ready to mess with him, but I sadly unable to accept your request. Ciao!"
Kitz slashed his empty hand towards Lynn, who dodged with ease. Kitz lifted his handgun at the girl.
"He seems to have an ace up his sleeve!" Luan noted.
"Actually, it's a gun, but I can kill you with an ace as well, pick your poison." Kitz said sarcastically.
"Look mister, I don't know what you are trying to accomplish here, but it's not going to happen!" Luna said.
"Bosses orders, sorry sweetie, can't tell. I've gotta keep my word." Kitz said.
Suddenly he took his other hand and grabbed Lynn by the arm, slowly freezing her whole body.
"You, you monster!" Luna said to Kitz "What is that, five people? Why?"
"Well, soon I'll have seven, then eight, nine and it goes on and on." Kitz said as he pulled an oval shaped device from his pocket and placed it on the ground, making Clyde's parents and Lynn slowly move towards the oval. "The boss needs them."
Kitz closed the portal-like thing and pointed his gun at Luna's head.
Suddenly the door slammed open revealing a woman with dark brown hair holding two hand guns in her hands pointed directly at Kitz.
"You." Kitz said "Thought I took care of you a while back."
"Kitz." The woman said "Just as bald as always, how about I add another scar to that head of yours."
"You can very well try." Kitz said switching his target.
A purple gas filled the room. Luna and Luan started to get dizzy as they fell to the floor. The woman walked over to Kitz, pulled a silver spear from her back and slashed his chest with the tip of the spear, then pushed Kitz out the window and he fell in a slow-motion fashion to the ground.
"Re-val-I Bo-ot-s" Kitz said in a slow-motion tongue as he flew up into the sky exploding into a grey light and erupting towards the sky going back to normal time.
The woman helped Luna and Luan back up.
"Who are you?" Luan asked the woman.
"I'm the person that just saved your life, but you can call me Bernice." Bernice said to the girls. "You said there was more of you? Take them to me. We need an army if we are going to take care of them."
"Take care of who?" Luan asked, still a bit dazed.
"Sorry, those fumes can get strong. I'm used to them. So, where are the others?"
"We'll get them for you, stay here." Luna reassured Bernice.
And with that Luna and Luan went to get the rest of the gang together.
I hope you enjoyed reading chapter five, sorry it was out so late, I'll slowly get back into the swing of things. Tell me which group I should write about next. Thanks for reading.
