It's nighttime at Royal Woods Zoo, the animals were all asleep, until a shadowy figure appeared. The figure walked towards the Hippo enclosure and gets a blood sample. Then get blood samples from a tiger and kangaroo, rhino, bat and gorilla.
"I have what I need. Now I need some test subjects." The figure said.
The next day at Royal Woods High school, Leni is grabbing her books from her locker, until Kristen and Ariel walk up to her. "Hey Leni." Ariel greeted.
"Hey Kristen and Ariel." Leni greeted.
"So you're gonna love this. There are some new boys that came to our school." Kristen said.
"There's one of them right now." Ariel said. Leni looked to her left and sees a 16 years old boy with fair skin, short blonde hair, green t shirt, blue jeans and white sneakers.
"Hi, Im Kody Kent." Kody introduced.
"Why does that last name sound familiar?" Leni asked.
"Wait, are you related to Nelson Kent?" Kristen asked.
"He's my dad." Kody said.
"No way!" Kristen gasped. "I love his movies. I really enjoyed his last movie, Noir Town."
"Yeah he was trained by the best directors." Kody said.
"Maybe I can like show you around town?" Leni suggested.
"I would like that." Kody said.
"Well I better get going." Kristen said right when she walks away. But she bumps into someone. She gets a good look at the person she bumps into a 16 year old girl with fair skin, platinum blonde hair in a ponytail, wearing an icy blue shirt with dark blue leggings, and white shoes.
"Sorry." Kristen and the girl said.
"Let me guess you new here?" Kristen asked.
"Yes. I'm Elise, my sister Abby and I just over here yesterday." Elise said. "We live on 1215 Franklin Avenue."
"That's right across from Leni's house." Kristen said.
"Yeah my sister and I part of some foster care system with the Wus." Elise said.
"Well welcome to Royal Woods." Kristen said as she walked away.
Sometime after school, Becky and Dana are walking home from school. "So what do you think of that new guy?" Becky asked.
"You mean Keanu Kent?" Dana asked. "Yeah he's a real cutie."
But before they can talk more about this Keanu Kent, a large figure placed the two in a burlap sack and runs off as the girls scream for help.
Meanwhile at Royals Woods Mall, Chaz is at work folding clothes. He finished folding some pants. "Hey Chaz. I need you to unpack some jackets in the stock room." His boss said.
"Sure thing Mr. Peterman." Chaz said as he walked towards the stock room where there is a huge crate. "How many jackets did Mr. Peterman buy?" Chaz walked towards the box, but then a pair of robotic arms grabbed Chaz and dragged him into the box as the shadow figured laughed.
Meanwhile at Royal Woods high, Ruby and Benny are in the theatre reading over the scripts for The Little Mermaid. "So what part do you have?" Ruby asked.
"Prince Eric. You?" Benny asked.
"One of Ariel's sisters." Ruby said.
"Cool. And I heard Shannon ended getting the role of Ursula." Benny replied.
"I even heard Luan will be Ariel." Ruby said.
Yeah I noticed." Benny said as he blushed.
"It's like you two are destined to be together in all these romance plays we'll be doing." Ruby teased.
"Probably." Benny said.
But then, they both saw something rolling on the stage and it was some kind of metallic ball. It exploded and released a inch of red gas that made them both fall asleep.
"Oooh… crud." Benny moaned weakly before falling down.
"Benny!" Ruby cried out before passing out as well.
The shadow figure laughed as they watched from behind the curtains.
At Lola's pageant training center, Cricket Van Doren was applying some makeup in her room.
"So, you're Lola's new pageant friend?" A voice asked as Cricket turned around to see Lindsay Sweetwater.
"Indeed I am." Cricket replied. "You must be Lindsey Sweetwater?" Cricket askedZ
"Yes. I have a reputation myself, just like Lola." Lindsay replied. "You know, you could always just dump her and make me your new BFF. My family isn't loud, crazy and we don't act like a bunch of animals who always get kicked out of malls or pools."
"Yeah no." Cricket replied. "I would never abandon Lola like that. She's a nice person and I wouldn't trade her for you."
"Dang it!" Lindsay scowled. "Well, I'll let you change your mind when Lola ends up doing something manipulative to you."
"That's never going to happen." Cricket said with a frown.
But then, two robotic hands grabbed both Pageant girls from behind and then stuffed them in a brown sack as they helplessly cried for help. The robotic figure ran away before any of the other pageant girls could show up.
In the Royal Woods graveyard, Haiku was standing in front of a grave while holding a bouquet of black flowers.
"Hello, great grandma Madeline." Haiku said as she placed the bouquet in front of the grave. "I know that it's been a while since we last met, but I have been busy doing stuff with my Goth friends. Lucy and I are now in charge of the Morticians Club and it's been really good."
But suddenly, a tranquilliser dart hit her in the back and she started getting very drowsy.
"Siiiiiigh." Haiku moaned before collapsing.
Haiku began regain consciousness and find herself in a small cage. "Where am I?" Haiku asked as she looks around she sees Becky, Dana, Chaz, Ruby, Benny, Cricket and Lindsey in similar cages.
"Okay, this is just creepy." Becky said.
"I don't have time to be kidnapped! I've got a pageant to win!" Lindsay shouted angrily.
"Really? That's your biggest concern, right now?" Dana asked.
"We've been captured and placed in cages. That's the main problem we're dealing with!" Benny said.
"Wait so who captured us?" Becky asked.
"I've got no idea." Chaz replied.
"Same here." Cricket added.
"To be part of the next step in evolution." A voice called out.
"Huh?!" The kids said in surprise as they turned to see Doctor Animo himself standing in front of them.
"Who's this creep?" Ruby asked.
"My name is Dr. Animo. I brought you all here to make you the first of my new minions." Animo said.
"I'm nobody's minion, you creep!" Lindsay replied with a glare.
"You can never trick us into doing your dirty work." Haiku said.
"We will never do your dirty work!" Benny said.
"What're you even planning to do? Hypnotise us?" Becky asked.
"In a way yes." Animo said.
"He can't be serious." Dana said.
"I think he is." Cricket said nervously.
"Now, just hold still." Animo said before pressing a button a remote controller.
Then some needles filled with green liquid are injected into the kids and teens' arms. "Ow that hurt." Ruby siad.
"What did you just put in us?" Dana asked while rubbing her arm.
"Your next step into evolution." said Animo as he smirked,
"Uh, guys? I… I don't feel so good." Becky said as she started to sweat a little bit.
"What's happening? I feel… strange." Haiku groaned.
"So am I." Chaz replied as he grabbed his head.
"Somehow I feel bloated." Dana said.
"I can't feel my legs." Cricket said painfully as she fell back. "What's going on?"
"I don't know, but I hate it! This is worse than having a wrinkles!" Lindsay screamed.
"I feel like something is growing on me." Becky said.
Animo chuckled and watched as the teens and children yelled out in pain and their bodies began to change in a bad way.
At the Loud House, Lincoln was playing some video games with Marcy as Maddie and Ivy watched with them.
"I'm glad you and Maddie could come over today, Marcy." Lincoln said.
"Anytime, Lincoln. We don't have any hero stuff to do, so it's nice to take a day off." Marcy replied.
"Man, these video games are so life-like." Ivy said.
"And Ratchet says that humans have primitive technology." Maddie added.
"It's a good thing my parents are busy at the restaurant they would freak at the site of talking frogs." Lincoln said.
"My family knows about Maddie and her family." Marcy said.
"True." Lincoln said.
But suddenly, the door was swung open and the group looked to see Lola with an angry expression on her face.
"Lola? What's the matter?" Lincoln questioned. "You look a little more madder than usual."
"I was supposed to be in a pageant today, but Cricket and Lindsey mysteriously disappeared and the whole thing was called off!" Lola shouted.
"Wait, Cricket Van Doren? Your new BFF?" Marcy asked.
"Yes. Oh and Lindsey's gone too, but it's no big deal." Lola said.
Then Luan walks in with an angry look on her face. "Something wrong Luan?" Maddie asked
"Benny and Ruby are no where to be found so we have to put the Little Mermaid on hold until they find them." Luan said.
"First Lola's friends go missing, now yours?" Ivy asked in surprise.
"Lindsey's not my friend!" Lola stated.
Lori came downstairs and she had a concerned expression. "What's wrong with you, Lori?" Lincoln asked.
"I just got a call from Whitney. She said that Becky and Dana didn't show up for her slumber party after school, today." Lori said.
"Now Lori's friends are gone too!" Ivy said.
"Yeah something's not right." Lincoln said.
"You're absolutely right." Lucy said as she appeared next to the couch, making everyone expect Maddie yelp in fright. "Haiku wasn't with me in our Morticians Club meeting, today. I sense that something terrible has happened to her."
"You think they've been kidnapped?" Marcy asked.
"But who would kidnapped some normal teen and kids?" Lincoln asked.
"No idea." Maddie replied.
"Hey, guys? I just went to the mall to buy a few cloths and Chaz wasn't there." Leni said as she showed up from the kitchen. "He's not even giving me any texts."
"We'd better call the others to meet us at the scrapyard." Lincoln suggested.
"Good idea." Lori said.
Meanwhile at the scrap yard, most of the team has been assembled. "Is everyone here?" Lincoln asked
"We're all here, bro." Luna answered.
"What seems to be the problem?" Chloe asked.
"Some of our friends have gone missing." Lucy answered.
"And we don't think it's a coincidence." Luan added.
"We're supposed to be looking for some missing humans today?" A Red Autobot with a tank cannon on his torso asked in disappointment. "I'd rather go blow up some Decepticons or any other bad guys."
"Warpath this is serious. They could get hurt of killed." Bulkhead said.
"This could be Vilgax's doing?" Ronnie Anne said.
"I'm not sure Vilgax would wanna kidnap a bunch of young humans to do his dirty work." Sid answered.
"I say that some of us go into town and start searching them." Lincoln said. "I'll go with my sisters, Ronnie Anne, Sid, Marcy, Robin, the Demi-Kids, Arcee, Sideswipe, Mirage and Warpath. The rest of you should stay here to monitor our progress."
"How's about I tag along for the trip, as well?" A red and yellow Autobot with a radio speaker on his torso asked as he approached the group. "I can scan the whole town for your pals' life signals."
"Finally you're not as useless as I thought Blaster." Warpath said.
"Alright let's get going team." said Lincoln.
"Right!" Everyone replied confidently.
Sideswipe, Arcee, Mirage, and Warpath each transformed into their vehicle modes as Blaster transforms into a boom box. Lori made sure to pick up Blaster as everyone moved out to find the missing children.
"Alright let's just pray that we find them in time." Dando said.
"Yeah. Something tells me they'll all bump into trouble." Bivalvan replied.
"I'll join in as well." Ra'ad said as he went intangible and flew off.
A/N: What plans Animo have for his victims? Will Team Loud find them in time? Find out next time. I know I did a full chapter last time, but after doing some thinking I decided to do a two parter because I need work on the animal hybrids designs. But I like to thank Rodimus873 for helping me out with the chapter. Please read and review.
