Lucy was at the dump in New York City. She walked over the garbage piles and more. She then heard what sounded like someone snoring. And she found a puddle of sludge bubbling.
Lucy: Ickis? Is that you?
A mass came up and it was Ickis.
Ickis: Lucy? What are you doing here?
Lucy: I sensed that something is about to go down here in the next few minutes.
Oblina came.
Oblina: Ickis what are you doing out here?
Ickis: I was getting my ugly sleep.
Oblina: Hey Lucy.
Lucy: Hey Oblina. I sensed that something is going down here.
Suddenly a Solar Eclipse began.
Lucy: Gasp! It's a Solar Eclipse.
The Gromble, Krumm and some monsters came out.
Oblina: Is this the end of the world?
Gromble: No, it's a sign. A message to the Monster World. Follow me.
The Gromble too them to a poster and he pulled it off and unlocked a door and opened it.
Gromble: The time has come for a young monster to enter this passageway and journey in search of the Ancient Garbage Cans.
All but Lucy: The Holy Pail.
Lucy: What's the Holy Pail?
Oblina: It's said to be a magical artifact that can grant any monster the power to instill traumatizing fear into any human they come across.
Lucy: Sounds like a very powerful item.
Gromble: It is.
Oblina: I guess it should be me who should go after all I have the best overall grade average. Mm-hmm.
Gromble: In this case and in this case only your performance in class is not important. We must wait for a sign to see who is chosen the Golden Monster.
Oblina: Well it should be based on grades.
Krumm: Yeah base it on grades. I don't want to go. Sounds like too much work.
Ickis: Work? (Laughs) What is it with you guys? This isn't work. It is adventure. Why if I was chosen, I'd march Boldly into the unknown, face every danger and be back with the Holy Pail before dinner.
Lucy: I may be the goddess of horror to the Monster World but Adventure is also my strongest suit.
A paint can levitates and it floats above Lucy.
Ickis: Would you look at that. What is making it do that?
Gromble: (Gasp) That's the sign!
Ickis: (Points to the can) That?
Gromble: No. (Paint pours onto Lucy) That.
Lucy was standing next to a river of sludge.
Gromble: In this crate Lucy is everything you shall need for a successful journey. The Monster Manual refers to this as the "Box of Really Useful Stuff". Snorch?
Snorch grumbles and dumps the stuff out.
Gromble: First a ball of string. Then of course a trash can lid, another trash can lid. Something that goes sproing and of course the sort of human thi... Oh just take it.
Lucy: A ball of string, 2 trash can lids, an exercise spring and a window shade. I have a feeling I know that this stuff will come in handy.
Lucy got in the crate and she had a backpack on.
Krumm: Good luck Lucy.
Gromble: Now legend says you must pass through the Sludge Cascade to Pick-A-Door Cave and beyond. And I can tell you this. Tread lightly through Belchsplat Caverns and be careful Lucy. The Wall Warriors are more dangerous than they look. Go to the top of the heap. That's where you'll find the Holy Pail.
Lucy: I will be back Gromble. I have a feeling that there is a Holy Pail.
The crate went down the river and she went over some sludge rapids and she arrived at the Sludge Cascade.
Lucy: The Sludge Cascade. Gross.
Lucy spread her wings and covered herself as she went ashore.
She found herself at Pick-A-Door Cave. It was a bunch of broken airplane bodies connected together to form an endless hall of doors.
Lucy: So this is Pick-A-Door Cave. You can get lost very easily in here. But lets see here.
Lucy takes out the ball of string and rolls it on the ground and it goes through the doors and leads Lucy to the right passage. She found herself in Belchsplat Caverns. It was a cave filled with volcano-like chimneys.
Lucy: So this is Belchsplat Caverns. I wonder why they call it that.
A chimney erupted and it made a belch and glowing red slime came out and it landed by Lucy with a big splat.
Lucy: Now I see why it's called that.
A malevolent Laugh was heard and she heard it coming from an evil-looking temple.
Lucy: Guess that's where I have to go.
Lucy spread her wings and flew to the temple and got into a minecart. She went down a track and she saw warriors on the walls of the mine tunnel.
Lucy: These must be the Wall Warriors.
Spears hit the cart and more spears came and Lucy grabbed them. She arrived at a ladder and climbed it and she arrived at the Ancient Garbage Cans.
Lucy: These must be the Ancient Garbage Cans. Incredible.
She made the spears from the Wall Warriors normal size Spears and she climbed up to the top of the heap and she found an old monster meditating.
Old Monster: I hate this thing. Has it been 400 years already? Time flies when you're bored out of your skull huh? (Gets up and is stiff) Oh wow! Ouch. I got to remember to move around at least every 100 years or so.
Lucy: My name is Lucy Loud and I've come for the Holy Pail and I know you have it.
Old Monster: You're right. I do have it. Follow me.
Lucy was lead to a special vault and the monster pulled out a golden bucket that had the M of the Monster World on it.
Old Monster: Here it is.
Lucy took it.
Lucy: Thank you. Now I can head back to the Academy.
Lucy put the Pail in her backpack and went back.
Old Monster: That's quite a journey up here huh? Here Lucy for your trouble. (Hands her his toothpick) Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
Lucy: Thank you.
Lucy takes the toothpick and heads back.
She arrived back at the classroom 45 minutes later.
Krumm: Lucy! You're back!
Lucy: Yes. And I've returned victorious.
She pulls out the pail and everyone gasped. The Gromble was flabbergasted.
Gromble: It... It's Real? (Faints)
Everyone cheered and went to Lucy.
Oblina: So what was it like Lucy?
Lucy: It was an amazing adventure. My little sister Lana would've liked this. I used my wings to cover myself from the Sludge Cascade, I went through Pick-A-Door Cave, I flew over Belchsplat Cavern and I protected myself from the Wall Warriors. I made it to the top of the heap in the Ancient Garbage Cans. I met an old Monster and he actually had the Holy Pail in a vault. All it took was a little persuasion.
Krumm: That's incredible!
Ickis: You've become even more of a legend in the Monster World.
Krumm: So what are you gonna do with the pail?
Lucy: Take it home and put it on display in my crypt room.
Oblina: It is your choice Lucy.
Gromble: (Groans) What a dream. I could've sworn that Lucy found the Holy Pail.
Lucy: That was no dream Gromble. I did find it.
Gromble: That's amazing Lucy. Congratulations. You have succeeded where so many monsters have failed.
Lucy: Thank you.
Ickis: It's true your Grombleship. Lucy braved everything and successfully found it.
Krumm: She met an old monster in the Ancient Garbage Cans and persuaded him to give it to her.
Gromble: I'm so proud Lucy.
Lucy: Thank you. Now I have to head home and tell everyone about my adventure.
Gromble: See you later Lucy. Now everyone, BACK TO WORK!
Lucy got back home and took a bath and told us about her adventure.
Lucy: And then I brought the Pail back and was made a bigger legend.
Lana: Wow Lucy that was incredible! Trekking through a garbage dump like that must've been tough.
Lola: That is really gross!
Lucy: Yes I know. But it was considered a quest I will never forget.
Me: I can believe it. That must've been a great adventure. Albeit a disgusting one.
Lucy: Yes. It was.
Laney: I'm glad I didn't come with.
Lucy: You probably wouldn't like it Laney.
Lynn: I'm glad you had a great adventure Luce.
Lucy: Thanks Lynn.
Lucy had an awesome adventure in the monster world and we have a feeling that there are more adventures in the Monster World.
THE END
Another Fanfiction Complete.
I based this chapter off of AAAHH! Real Monsters episode "The Quest For The Holy Pail". That's one of my favorite episodes in the show. At the end Ickis didn't get the pail because the Old Monster was hiding it and he was that gullible to believe it. So I did a twist to the episode and made it where Lucy succeeded. Belchsplat Caverns was funny. Let me know what you all think.
See you all next time.
