A casual thing at school, which kinda involves a lot of news which seem unexpected and less than anything to even believe, especially one that sounds a little too dumb to even understand. So, let's see how Lincoln and his friends are dealing with rumors, news and other wild stories from the Royal Woods Middle School Action News Club! Wow, that is a long name. Enjoy reading this folks!

Helluva Loud Adventures.
"Middle School Action News and Report."

(April 18. Royal Woods Middle School.)

as usual, the portal opens and coming through is Lincoln Silva Hound and he sighs in relief and he looks to the school and he makes his way towards it and the portal behind him closes and then he recalls what he has planned after the school day is done.

'Alrighty then, so after school I should meet with Vanoss and the others for some Minecraft and see what the hell do they have in mind and I am glad we joined their server. I gotta finish the statue of my mom, and make sure the morons don't blow it up. Mostly Vanoss and...'

Lincoln sees his girlfriend Jordan and she races over towards Lincoln with some news that she found out, alongside Clyde and so Lincoln goes over to them and asks what is happening. "Guys, calm it down with the rush, now what the heck is going on to wanna go to me and tell me..."

Jordan speaks. "We got this notification about three big stories going around the school and outside of town. Did you get any notifications?"

Lincoln checks his phone and he realizes. "Oh, I turned off my phone, sorry." He then puts his phone back into his pocket. "Please, continue. What the heck is going on here?"

Jordan and Clyde are surprised that Lincoln doesn't know. "Something from the Royal Woods Middle School Action News Club." He then shows Lincoln what is on his cellphone and Lincoln sees what it says.

Stella Zhau. "An unexpected guest has made a home within the school, eye witnesses from the local groundskeeper and chef pat descried this small and hairy creature, they didn't see clearly at what it was, but it was sighted when a couple of students came to the school earlier to finish their book reports, but what on earth was this strange animal that has arrived within our school?"

"Strange sounds have been heard throughout all the restrooms within the school, strange noises which describe moaning, groaning and some strange whimpers and cries. Many of the students and staff believe that the restrooms, all the restrooms are now haunted by a mysterious spirit or ghost, and some are now nervous or afraid to even go to a single restroom alone."

"On other news, everyone is being told to be cautious about going around and night. Reports of the dreaded Michigan Dogman are still at large, and many folks have said that the beast or cryptid as some people call it say that the direction it is headed for seems to be south, and Saginaw is in the path. Let us hope this beast doesn't enter the borders of Royal Woods."

Lincoln is so confused seeing this. He then looks towards Jordan and Clyde. "Guys, this doesn't even seem like something I should even care about, because this is just really, really dumb. Come on, ghosts and mysterious animals and cryptids?"

Clyde then looks nervous. "Lincoln, you never know what could be real and what could not be. I mean, demons are real and all, but what about..."

"Then chances this is a common animal" replied Lincoln, he then walks towards the school followed by Jordan and Clyde. "There is no possible way that the school has been haunted, are there even any stories or tales of someone who died here long ago?"

Clyde and Jordan then try to speak what he might say is true or not, but they rethink this and remain silent, they can tell that this news is just nothing more than nonsense to Lincoln Silva Hound, they just need to know if this is all true or something else that would make sense.

(Hours later.)

The second period is over, and we see Lincoln Silva Hound is headed to his locker, then he sees Artie, Lance and Trent go towards him. "Hey guys, ready for some Minecraft later after school?"

"That depends, are we gonna have any homework when the day is over?" asked Trent.

"He has a point" replied Lance. "I mean, we did finish our book reports and projects and there is the bi test inbound for the month of May, so chances we could play this afternoon with the others."

Artie then speaks. "There is one thing I am afraid of... What the hell does Vanoss have planned for us, also Chad told me that the other day he played some Call of Duty with Evan, Tyler, Brian, Anthony, Delirious and Nogla and they got angry when he went Gun Game mode."

Lincoln chuckles. "Classic Brian, he is the Terroriser for a damn reason..." Then they hear screaming sounds and they see Paige come out of the restroom in fear and she hides behind Lincoln and this confuses him. "Whoa! Whoa! What the heck? Paige, what the heck?"

"Guys, Linc... Ghost in..." Christina then feels Jordan lift her by the waist and away from Lincoln and she realizes this. "Oh, sorry Jordan. I didn't mean to."

Jordan nods. "Don't make the same kind of mistake, now you said something about a ghost?"

Paige then tells them. "Ghost. Bathroom. In there, and scary!" she feels like crying, and the others are concerned, but Lincoln doesn't seem concerned and he looks to the restroom and then he pulls out a crucifix.

They watch as he goes into the restroom, and then they hear what sounded like the vent busting down, and then the principal show up and she is confused about what's been going on. Then Lincoln comes out of the restroom and she asks. "Well, what the heck happened in there?"

Lincoln then shows them and they see this man whimpering and holding some beer. "I have seen this dude, normally he would be by the bar near the outskirts of town, and he's always lonely and sad. But I don't know what his issue is."

Seeing this guy, Rusty then recalls. "Wait, I know who he is. His name is Ned Gabbles Janderson, my da... my former dad knows him and he is a lonely and sad man, because his wife divorced him two weeks after their marriage."

All of them are surprised to hear this and they all take pictures, while Principal Ramirez calls the cops to come and take this intruder away. Stella is surprised to see this, and then she hears what Lincoln says to everyone. "The ghost was nothing more than some lonely dumb and heartbroken spirit, with nothing else left."

(Lunch Time.)

Everyone is enjoying the delicious Meat Loaf Mondays and Lincoln is one of them who gets some meatloaf, and then he goes over to the friends at the table, and he feels like everything has turned peaceful after that discovery that there was no ghost.

Lincoln then thinks about what he could do this Friday on the date with Jordan, which is gonna be a double date with Blitzo and Verosika involved. 'When we do go on this double date, I wanna make sure Blitzo doesn't... Nevermind, Verosika might keep him occupied from doing somethin dumb shit.'

Lincoln then goes to high five Hassan who is wheeling by him, but then they all hear a scream from the cafeteria and they turn around and see Chef Pat and she is scared. "The hairy thing is in the kitchen and it's already eaten through the ingredients!"

Lincoln sighs. "Seriously?" He is about to go over, but then Liam joins him. "What the heck are you doing, dude?"

Liam then has a lasso. "When you found the truth about that ghost being a lonely and drunk guy, I kinda had a feeling that this hairy monster might just be some wild animal, and I can help hog tie it so we don't have to hurt it."

Lincoln smirks. "Then let's go and bring this thing in, like a deep down country beat down!"

Lincoln and Liam go over and they begin to take down what is in there, and everyone hears some rummaging and pots and pans tumbling and Lincoln yelling. "Ow! What the hell?!" He hit his head on the cabinet when he was knocked over by the fat moving hairy thing. "Wait, what? Liam now!"

Then there is silence, and then the doors open and they see Lincoln rubbing his sore head, and Liam has the beast in the lasso and it seems calm now and walking with him. They are all surprised by what it is. "Guys, the animal was a capybara, not some kind of monster."

They all see the animal and it's munching on some vegetables and Liam pets the head of the animal. "Didn't think rodents can turn this big, dang this guy is impressive, fast and knows how to tackle better than Virginia and Petunia back in the farm."

They all come over to see this and even the Chef, but then she races to the kitchen and sees the mess and she faints seeing at how much she needs to clean. Then Clyde realizes. "Wait, this Capybara's name is Lizzie!" He sees the collar and the name tag. "She's a part of the petting zoo!"

Lincoln smirks. "Well, this guy knows how to tackle and run." He is handed an ice pack. "We need to call the petting zoo, that they're handlers must've left the dang gate open. What are the odds that the one who let her escape is some lazy newbie?"

They all chuckle hearing this and then take footage and take some photos of this animal and post what they have heard about what might be true, which means the Royal Woods Petting Zoo will notice this.

(Later in the Day.)

The school bell has rung and Lincoln Silva Hound walks out of the place, and he sighs in relief and then he sees Stella Zhau go towards him. "Hey Stella, you doing alright?"

Stella nods. "Sure am, and thanks for actually finding out the truth about what was really within the school. I mean, a heart broken drunk guy and a capybara in the vents? I wish I was that coming, but I guess we went with the rumors and words from everyone who thought that what they saw was legit and real."

Lincoln nods. "Folks around here would come up with something to spark up some madness and rumors to make sure the whole thing is far from belief and become something out of reality, because seeing is believing. Unless the facts and truths are reveled and you see the bigger picture."

Lincoln then opens the portal to his house and he turns around and he looks towards Stella. "Some word of advice, Stella Zhau. Don't go exaggerating on what could be news worthy and just get to what really matters and solve what goes down. The club you started with Jenny seems pretty much as common as the rumors of folk's going down on social media, be careful about it too. Be careful about what news you guys announce, or someone could get hurt from it."

He then takes his leave through the portal, and Stella walks off and thinks about it. 'Dang, Lincoln s legit an awesome kid with what he could do and sense, but then again his hellhound blood is what makes his mind much more improved... Wait, am I having feelings for Lincoln Silva Hound?'

(Time skip, Night Time.)

As the night falls, and we head to the very outskirts of Royal Woods, a large and mysterious figure has scared off some campers, which are a happy young couple, and the figure is gobbling away at the food they were cooking, and this creature seems to be very brown and hairy, and with a long tail attached and a dogg-0like appearance.

The beast then leaves the woods and sees the road leading to the town, and he sees the sign and then he growls and then yells. "Silva Hound!" He then howls into the moon, and he is on the road and headed for the town itself.

But the beast fails to see this large semi-truck coming and the beast is struck and stuck on the lass of the vehicle wipers and the driver is freaked out and he turns on the wipers and the do-like creature is knocked away and hits a nearby tree.

The driver couldn't believe it and he needed to tell everyone, heck his truck had a camera, so he has proof that the legendary Michigan Dogman is real and headed for Royal Woods. As for the Dogman, he groans and is in serious pain and then speaks.

R-Rest now... Silva Hound... L-Later..." the beast then passes out, and waits till his body is healed after that impact.

"To be continued in the next chapter folks!"
