Helluva Loud Adventures.

"The Dream Alternate 40."

(Royal Woods Mall. Royal Woods, Michigan.)

The station wagon of the Silva Hound family has arrived, and the group all come out and are composed of: Loona, Lincoln, Luna, Lori, Leni, Luan, Lynn, summer and Dia. Loona, Summer and Dia are in their human forms and wearing something decent and not too revealing.

Loona is pushing the strollers with her infant kids, Lincoln and Lynn, and the infant boy is playing with his plush wolf and they are glad he let go of the potato since it will go bad and they needed to put it to good use and not to waste, but they will need to find a replacement for the potato when they get home, and the mall will be the one to provide.

Loona then looks to the others. "Alright, so the first place we should go to is wherever the kids wanna go." She then looks to her children. "So, where do you girls wanna... Toy store?"

All of them giggle and then Luna speaks. "We wanna see what is affordable, and also get somethin Linky would like. He needs something fun, but I also wanna check the book store for anything I can read, and maybe even read to Linky."

They all look towards Lincoln, and he giggles and plays with his plush horse and then he looks to his sisters and he giggles and they go over and kiss his cheek, though Lynn is on the other stroller and she can't see or reach her baby brother.

Loona smiles. "Alright then, let's get going." she then looks towards Dia and summer. "You two are coming with us, and following us, got it ladies?"

Summer snickers hearing this. "Oh, you do not trust us on our own around here?" Both summer and Dia snicker at this, but then they see the serious expression from Loona, and they can tell that she is being very, very serious.

"Oh, you're being serious. Okay, we'll tag along with you guys and not cause any attention or trouble?" replied Dia. Loona is relieved to hear this and so they all venture into the mall and they see how big the whole place looks.

"Seems bigger than the one at Pentagram City" replied summer. They then make their way into the mall and they spot the toy store and so they all head inside, and thankfully the daughters of Loona don't rush inside like happy little kids, they seem to have learned so much, even well-behaved manners, and this makes Loona happy to know, otherwise she'd be chasing them all around the place.

Seeing this place, fills the eyes of Lincoln and Lynn wish such wonder, but Lori, Leni, Luna and Luan have been here before and it doesn't fill them much since they have been here. Loona then has an idea. "Everyone, split up. I will take Lincoln and Luna. Dia, you accompany Leni and push Lynn on her stroller and summer, watch over Lori and Luan, got it?"

They all nod, and so they split up and they go around the toy store for anything they might like, well anything the kids might like.

Loona along with Lincoln and Luna check out the plush toy area, which is connected to the baby toys area and the infant is amazed and surprised by all the colorful and fun looking toys and he feels like grabbing one.

Luna then looks towards her baby brother. "Something on your mind, little brother? Do you see something you like, little brother?" She then sees Lincoln reach towards something and so Luna goes over and she grabs what it is. "Mommy, we found the replacement for Lincoln to play with."

Loona sees the plush potato with a smile, googley eyes and hands and little feet. Loona smirks. "Wow, and Lincoln was the one who spotted this. Keen eye there, little one." Loona then hands it to her daughter, so she can carry it. "Alright, now Lincoln seems to have picked something, what about you Lunes?"

Luna looks around and she doesn't seem fond of any of these toys, or anything, but then she stops when she sees the toy keyboard, and she goes over and grabs it. "This one?"

Seeing her daughter grab a musical instrument makes Loona smile. "Alright, you can have one." But then Loona has an idea. "Perhaps, you can grab another item and so can Lincoln." the baby continues to play with his plush horse and he giggles at the sight of the toy store and al it has to offer.

Luna smiles. "Really?" The mother of the children nod and so Loona goes around and she looks for something she might like, and another thing Lincoln might like. Soon enough, Luna does return and she has a plush elephant wearin a purple sweater and holding a small guitar and a plush triceratops and she shows it to Lincoln and he is entranced by this plush dinosaur.

Loona chuckles and then she sees something, something that catches her eyes. Loona sees that it is a snow globe, and inside is a small figurine of a wolf howling into the sky, and so she takes it and Luna notices this. "Do you like it, mommy?"

Loona smirks. "I'm not much of a fan of small trinkets and stuff, but this seems to have caught my eye, so yeah... I do like it. Would make a nice small item on my desk, and makes me feel... Normal." The trio then continue their journey down the aisle and head for the check out so they can pay for what they got and wait for the others to show up there.

(Later.)

After an awesome time exploring the toy store, the group are now leaving the place, with the stuff they got and it doesn't seem much and they all have cash with them, thanks to the hellhound.

Lori got two new dolls and a plush animal which is a whale, Leni has a new rag doll and a teddy bear, and even a plush tiger, Luan seemed interested in the puppets and so she got four hand puppets and Lynn seemed more keen on the sports stuff and so she got a plush football, soccer ball and basketball.

Though, Dia and summer both got caught in the small plush trinkets they found. Dia found this small plush brown car with a bell on it and summer found a plush red devil and it has a shiny necklace around it, and so they went for those items, and would look nice on their bed.

The children are also impressed by what Lincoln and Luna have gotten, and then Lori looks to her mother and she asks. "So, where are we going now mommy?"

Loona then recalls where they are going. "Alright, so the next stop is the book store and then the clothes department, since we need to see what new wardrobe you kids could wear, especially something cute for this little one."

They all look towards Lincoln and he is already having his own little fantasy playtime with his new plush toys and Luna goes over and she kisses his cheek. "You're welcome little brother." The infant giggles and then he goes back to playing with his toys.

As they all continue to walk, they are unaware of this man wearing a ski mask hiding around the corner behind a plant, and so he makes the move and he pounces out of the shadows and then he grabs Lynn, this alarms Dia and she kicks the man in the groin and he let's go of Lynn, thus Dia grabs her and she cries at what had happened. But then another thug shows up and pushes them aside, and then he goes for Lincoln and runs off with him.

"Lincoln!" Loona gives chase and so does Luna, while Dia and summer watch over the others, and then summer grabs the trash can and she slams it to the crook and he falls into the fountain and mall security take the man and give chase to the other. Summer, Dia and the other girls also make their way to get their brother back.

The thug is headed for the exit. "No!" Loona is furious at what is going to happen and she picks up the pace, she then leaps from the nearby magazine stand and she lands on the roof of it, and then she leaps over and lands at the exit of the mall and the crook is alarmed and he stops and then runs off.

But then he sees the mall cops, and so he pulls out a knife and everyone stops in place and many folks record this. "Give me back my son!" The sound of her infant crying is makin Loona enraged and she has to control her hellhound form, there are too many witnesses here.

The crook is scared and then he makes the demands. "I want more than ten million dollars or you'll see this kid turning red all over!" he then points the knife to the infant, and this scares the baby and Loona is full fury and feels like going hellhound on this asshole and the mall cops prepare their tasers.

But then Luna goes over. "No, let my baby brother go!" She tries to attack the man, but he kicks her away and she lands face first to the ground.

"Stupid kid!" He then looks to everyone else. "Give into my demands and this kid continues to grow up and..." Luna leaps onto the man and she bites around his ski mask and the man panics at what is goin on, then Luna pokes him in the eye and she pulls the mask off, and the mall cops know him.

This large man is a resident bodybuilder and a local shop lifter around the mall, and has been caught stealing more than 25 times. Luna then bites his nose and he tries to stab the little girl, but she dodges and the man stabs his own shoulder and he drops the baby, Luna grabs her baby brother and his plush toys and she runs over to her mother. "Lincoln, is alright mommy."

Loona is relieved to hear this, and she is about to grab her son, but then she sees the crook coming after them. So, she does the unthinkable and yells. "Cover your ears kids!" Luna does so and she covers her ears and Lincoln's ears, and Loona pulls out a magnum pistol and she shoots the man in the thigh, and then to the knees and he goes down to the ground and is in serious pain.

The mall cops make the arrest and one of them is about to ask Loona, but she shows him something. "License to carry a gun, officer." The mall cop nods and they call the police and handle the two crooks. The rest of the girls go over and they embrace Loona and they're whimpering baby brother.

Summer and Dia are surprised and also relieved to know that Lincoln is safe and well, but scared after what went down. Loona does what she can to comfort them. "Everything is fine, we're fine now and those monsters are not gonna take you all away from me, I promise."

Loona then looks to her daughter Luna and she kisses her forehead. "That was brave and you did what you had to do, to save your baby brother. I'm proud of you, Lunes." The little girl smiles and she embraces the hellhound and her baby brother, and Lincoln doesn't let go of his older sister, feeling like he is safe after she rescued him.

The other folks around the mall are amazed at what this woman did, a Goth young woman who is a mother and is armed and dangerous and her daughter who went into total attack mode and saved her baby brother, and they are going to be the talk of the town and the Royal Woods News soon.

"To be continued in the next chapter folks!"

A/N: A nice day in the mall, turned into somethin very, very serious and thankfully they handled it well and the trouble is over, now they need to deal with folks around the town who were impressed that Loona became the most protective mother of all time. I hope you all enjoyed reading the new chapter folks!
