Episode 6: Feeding Time:
Daytime. On October 30th, The Loud sisters's are putting up the the Halloween decoration inside their house.
"Excellent work, guys. Now, we need is to buy some pumpkins." Lucy said.
"I'm on it." Lori said as she leaves the house.
Lincoln step aside for Lori to pass as he return home with a bag full of candies. "I bought some candies!" Lincoln shouted.
"Thank you, Lincoln. You know how to never disappointed me." Lucy smiled.
"Well," Lincoln chuckles "Can't have Halloween without candy."
The two chuckled. Lynn glared at the two but her mood change when Lucy quickly stared at her. Lynn remembered that she has t keep her distance away from Lincoln or else she'll tell on him. This is so strange; This blackmailing thing belongs to Lola not Lucy, so why would she blackmailing her.
Lynn sighed and head upstairs which got Lucy smiled.
"So, Lincoln. What are you going to wearing tomorrow night?" Lucy smiley asked.
"I'm not sure. It will be to obvious for my and Clyde to dress as our superhero costume. But we'll think of something." Lincoln said.
"Actually, I think I found a perfect outfit for you." Lucy smiled
Meanwhile at a lab center called S.O.L.A.R. located not to far away from Royal's wood, a janitor name Raymond Jones was on a look out to make sure know is here as another man driving a forklift carrying barrels containing chemicals with unknown properties. He loaded the last barrels into his pickup truck as he got out of the forklift
"Done." The Man said.
"No sign of guards. Once we getaway, you promise me that you will leave me and Rudy alone." Raymond said.
"Oh, yes, you're lover. If this goes smoothly, then yes, now shut up and get your ass in this van." The Man ordering Raymond.
"Hey! You there!" Two security guards appeared and were shock to see Raymond. "Raymond? What are you doing? What's going on here?"
"I-I..."
"To think we would go smoothly," The Man took his gun out and started firing but the guards took cover behind a chamber just in time.
"Jerry, Stop! You'll get us put away for good!" Raymond shouted Jerry who is still firing.
Jerry scoffs at Raymond. "Who said I'm going to be put away?"
Bullets bouncing of chamber as the guards still in cover. "Get on the truck!"
Raymond hop into the back of the pickup truck. Jerry stop firing and head to his truck, he got in and drove of in full speed as The Security Guards fires back onto the pickup truck.
"Call in for backup!" One Security Guard yelled.
Although the two manage to make their getaway in a pickup truck after narrowly escaping the scene, Raymond is feeling bad that he's doing this. He's only doing this because he has to pay back Jerry after loaning $500.00 and since he couldn't afford to pay him back, he has to do all his deed or else he'll kill him and has lover Rudy. But he snap out of it when he feels a bump.
"Hey, slow down!" Raymond yelled..
"You, friggin' idiot. This is all you fault. You said the coast is still clear. This is the last time I trust you to be my lookout." Jerry said angrily.
Jerry drives faster on a bumpy road which got Raymond to move around a bit as he told him to slow down. The barrels soon open when the truck encounters an uneven road, spilling their contents all over Raymond. He scream in agony as he feels like he was being burnt alive. He put his hand on the back window as cried for help. This got Jerry terrified as he drives out of control to get away from him.
"JERRY! PLEEEESE! JERRY...HELP...ME!" Raymond cried as he tries to reach Jerry
Jerry gasp as he's about to crash onto a small bridge, he put the breaks on just in time but Raymond flies off, roll down a hill, and into a lake which has freshwater.
"Sucks for him." Jerry look at the window and sees the cops are coming. "God damn it." He got back on the road and drove off while the cops chase after him. Leaving Raymond's fate into the lake.
Back at S.O.L.A.R. Labs, Commissioner Grouse and his men already arrived.
"My men are already on pursuit on the driver. But do have any identities on the two?" Commissioner Grouse asked the security guards.
"We know one. His name is Raymond Jones, he works here as a janitor for five years." The first security guard explained.
"I still can't believe Raymond would do this. He's the nicest person I've ever known. This isn't like him to steal those chemical barrels." Second security guard said.
Commissioner Grouse think for sec. "Say, doesn't he have any relatives I can speak with?"
"Yes. We can give used his profile."
"Good." Commissioner Grouse sighed as he take out his phone. "I really don't want to call them, but..." He started texting to the people he knows but doesn't like.
Meanwhile, at Lucy's room, Lucy have already pick up an outfit for Lincoln.
"What do you think?" Lucy asked.
Lincoln look at himself through a mirror seeing him wearing a scarecrow outfit from the new batman adventures.
'Woah, Lucy. I look exactly like him. Thank you, Lucy. This feels great." Lincoln thanked her with a smile.
"You're welcome. In fact, you kinda cute for wearing that." Lucy blushes.
"What?"
"What?"
Lincoln then got a text from Commissioner Grouse from his phone. It said to meet him on top of the police station at ten.
"Mr. Grouse?"
"Yeah. He want's us to meet him at ten tonight."
Lucy sighed. "But we're still not finishing the decoration.
"Don't worry. Once we finish, we can go finishing what we're doing before tomorrow." Lincoln said.
"Good. The last thing we need is trouble on Halloween." Lucy said
Back under a small bridge as the day set to night, an hand came out of the water and then slowly crawled to shore with leeches covering his body. The leeches then fuse into his body as his entire body began to mutate. A homeless Man walking down a bridge as mumbled about the economy and politics of the country, he suddenly heard moaning blow him so go down to check it out.
"You alright?" The Homeless man asked as he get's close to him.
"...Hungrrrry."
"What?"
"I'm...hungry. Need. To. FEEEEEED!"
He tackles the homeless man as the homeless man tries to struggle. Next, he reach down his neck and began to drain his blood as the man cried in agony. The Homeless Man's body became a husk as soon as he finished. "I'm...I'm sorry." He ran off to Royal's Wood.
Meanwhile on top of the police station, Commissioner Grouse was waiting for Ace Savvy and The Full House to show up.
"Good evening, Commissioner Grouse." Eight Of Spades said.
Commissioner Grouse gasped for her sudden arrival. "I hated when you do that."
"Sorry, she loves to do that." Ace said.
"Where are the others?" Commissioner Grouse asked them.
"Oh, they're busy with other things but we'll let them know. So what's going on chief?" Ace asked.
"Five barrels that contains unknown materials were stolen from S.O.L.A.R. Labs. Two suspects were identify, one is Jerry Perkins and the other is Raymond Jones who works there. My men caught him when he was about to leave city limits but his partner disappeared from sight." Commissioner Grouse finishing explaining.
"Don't worry. We'll find him." Ace said.
Commissioner Grouse handed him the note. "Raymond has relative. So he may try to go there."
"We're on it." Ace said.
He and Eight Of Spades grabbed away.
Commissioner Grouse groaned. "I don't know what's worst; these young heroes running in my city or my lousy next doors." Commissioner Grouse sighed. "I sure missed Lynn's Lasagna."
Elsewhere, a man was running away from the police for robbing a jewel store. He hides into an alley and waited for the police car drive passed him.
"Phew." He snickered "Stupid pigs."
He then heard a noise." Who's there?" He take out his gun as he follow the sound. The sound get's louder but still haven't find out where it came from. He look around but when he looks up..."
"What the-AHHHH!"
The creature revealing him to be a black humanoid leech who attack him and started draining his blood until he's nothing but a husk." Why? Why can't I stop eating?" Raymond cried.
"You seem trouble. Maybe I can help."
Raymond was spook and was wondering who said that. "Relax, I'm not going to hurt you."
"Stay away! I don't want to drink anymore people's blood like some sort of leech." Raymond said.
"Wait. I saw what happen too you. It was awful. You're were forced to do something that you have no choice because you needed the money to pay your bills."
"H-how did you know about that?" Raymond questioned him.
"Follow me. And I'll explain it to you."
Meanwhile, Raymond who join with the scientist, drinking a gallon of blood from a jug.
Raymond burped. "Thank you. I just can't stop thirsting for blood. Wait, where did get this kind of blood?"
"Let's just say "someone" donate blood to me." The scientist laughed.
"So how do you know me exactly?" Raymond asked.
"I've hacked into the city's camera to see everything, until I saw what happen at S.O.L.A.R. Labs. I search for hours to find you until I spotted you attacking a man who robbed a jewel from a jewelry store. "
"But why me?' Raymond asked.
'Because your special talents can very be useful. You can help me with a my problems." The scientist smiled.
"No. I-I don't want to do anything. I just want to be normal so I can be with boyfriend."
The scientist then got an idea. "Okay, how about this. Perhaps there is someway I could change you back to your normal."
"Y-you can do it. How?"
"With my genius of course. But I'll get to work, if you take care my problems."
"What are your problems?"
"I want you to drain the life of those brats...Ace Savvy and the Full House." The Scientist said.
"I can't do that. They're just kids."
"So. It's there fault for taking this life." The Scientist said.
"I don't know."
"You want to be normal, then you have those kids."
Raymond sighed. "Very well."
"Excellent. You can rest here. Tomorrow night you got lots of work to do. " The scientist smirked.
Elsewhere, Rudy is in his house watching the news on what happen at S.O.L.A.R. Labs and is worrying about Raymond.
"Rudy Maxwell."
Rudy gasped when he sees Eight of Spades and Ace Savvy appeared in his room. "What do you want?" Rudy asked feeling scared.
"We thought that Raymond would show up." Ace said.
"No. He never came home. I thought he was arrested along with Jerry, but no it was only him."
"Jerry?" Ace questioned.
"Bills were piling up. Even working at the S.O.L.A.R. Labs isn't enough to cover it. That's were Jerry came along, he overheard Raymond's conversation at the bar and offered him to loan in some money. The bills were paid but unfortunately we have to pay him back, but we couldn't afford it. Raymond has been working with him for couples of days until this morning. Oh god, I hope he's not dead." Rudy sobbed.
"Don't worry, sir. We'll find him and once we do, we'll have him testified on Jerry so that he'll be lock away for a long time." Ace said comforting him.
"Thank you." Rudy smiled.
Ace Savvy and Eight of Spades left his house to get onto his Ace Cycle.
"We better informed the rest of our team to search for Raymond Jones." Ace said putting his motorcycle helmet on.
"But what about Halloween?" Eight of Spades getting behind.
"Once we find Raymond as soon as we can, we'll have plenty of time to finish up the decoration before tomorrow night." Ace said.
"Okay." Eight of Spades said.
They drove off into the city.
In Lynn's room, Lynn is beating on her punching bag. "Stupid Lucy. Trying to keep me away from Lincoln." Lynn angrily said to herself as she continues punching the bag. "I'll get her back, I swear!" Lynn delivers a powerful blow to the bag which broke the chain that holds it and hit the wall really hard which drop a loose book from Lucy's shelf on to the floor.
"Huh?" Lynn picks it up and sees that it's Lucy's Diary. Lynn knows better not to look into people's personal things but since she's blackmailing her, she doesn't care. She look through every pages in diary and found something which shock her. "Well, I'll be damned."
Lynn hides the diary behind her back just before Lori rush into her room. "Get to the cave and suit up. We're on the search to find Raymond Jones." Lori said and then leaves.
Lynn looks at the diary with a dirty look on her face. "Payback time, sis." Lynn hide the diary under her pillow and leaves as well.
The next day, Raymond just woken up and meet the scientist in his lab.
"Oh, good, you're awake. Are you ready, Raymond?" The scientist asked.
"If I do this, you'll make me normal right?" Raymond questioned him.
"Yes, yes, yes, I told you already last night. Now, I paid some people to rob a bank to get Ace and The Full House attention and lured them into a abandoned warehouse where you can strike. I planted a hidden camera in the warehouse so I could see the end of Ace and The Full House." The scientist smiled.
Raymond sighed. "I'm so sorry kids." He leaves the lab.
The scientist chuckles a bit.
The Full House have search the entire city in Vanzilla for hours as the day was about to turn dark.
"High Card to Ace Savvy. We've literally search the whole city and no sign of him." High Card contacted her brother through a walke talkie.
"Keep looking. Me and Eight of Spades are going to S.O.L.A.R. Labs to find some clues."
"Roger." High Card replied.
Suddenly, The Full House spotted robbers just robbed a bank and are heading into their car and drove off.
"Worst timing for a bank robbery." Strong Suit said.
High Card sighed annoyingly. "We're going to have to find Raymond later."
The Full House follows them. One of the robbers sees The Full House is already following exactly what their boss wanted.
The driver call his boss over his cellphone. "We got them."
"Good. Then, you know what to do?"
"Yes." He hang up and took a left
The Full House took a left too. The chase wasn't long but it felt like hours. The Bank Robberies got to the warehouse first, they got out of their car and rush in just before the Full House arrived.
"These guys are stupid for trapping themselves in there." Strong Suit smirked.
"It could be an ambush. We'll take that chance." High Card said.
High Card speed up the van and crash through the wall as the Full House except for High Card got out of the van and are to fight. But then they soon realized that no one is here. Not even the bank robbers.
"Hey, what gives dude?" Night Club said.
"Looks like they're going to surprise us. Stand your ground guys." High Card said to her team.
The Full House are in position waiting for there element of there surprised. It was quiet for a few minutes and still nothing happen, all they hear is strange moaning.
"Do you guys hear the?" Strong Suit asked her siblings in a soft tone.
"I do. It's like they're really close." High Card replied while whispering.
The Full House suddenly hear silence which confuse them. Raymond came out of nowhere and tackled Night Clubs.
"AHHH! WHAT THE HELL?! GET THIS THING OF ME!" Night Clubs yelled as she tries to get him off.
"Hold on, sis!" Strong Suit yelled coming to his sister. She grabs the creature and throws him against a wall. Strong Suit help Night Club get back on her feet.
"What the heck is that?!" Night Club asked in fear.
Raymond recovers from that impact and growled. "Feeeeed." He wealky said.
"This town gets weirder and weirder everyday." High Card said.
Meanwhile outside of S.O.L.A.R. Labs, Ace Savvy and Eight of Spades are looking for clues.
"Anything?" Eight Of Spades asked her brother.
"Actually, I do." Ace Savvy switch to detective mode on his mask and scan the unknown chemical spill on the ground. "Raymond was on the truck with Jerry, but he suddenly disappeared right before the polices captured Jerry. I think he maybe thrown out or jump out the truck. Follow me." Ace ran ahead to follow the spill stain. Eight Of Spades follows him.
Eight Of Spades glad that's he's working Ace Savvy because it's been awhile since they do things together. They usually get busy protecting the city from crime and haven't done any bonds. The two continuing running to follow the stain until they stop at the bridge.
"The trail ends over by the lake." Ace said switching off his detective mode. The two slide down the hill and were surprised to see a dead homeless man.
"What happen to him?" Eight of Spades asked looking over a husk.
Ace switch to his detective mode again again and scan his body, he noticed that all the blood inside his body is gone. Next, he sees a hole on his neck. "It looks like he was somehow...drain."
"But what could have done this?"
Ace got scan beside the corpse; he scan the big stain and detected Raymond's DNA onto the chemical spill. Next, he scan the body again to find some stain hand print on his ripped jacket and found out the print belongs to Raymond. "Raymond."
"Raymond?" Eight Of Spades said in confuse.
"Yeah, the chemicals must have got on him when he was toss out of the truck by Jerry. But I don't get is how could he able to drain bloods like that?"
Eight of Spades had figured it out, she dip her shovel in the water and when she pulls her shovel out of the water, leeches were already covered it. "I think this explains it."
"Of course, he roll down into the water and the leeches must have attach him which mutate him into a monster. Good work, sis."
Eight of Spades blushed. " Thank you, Lincoln. Um...so, now he's a monster, we should inform the police to go on a search out to find before he kills innocent people." Eight of Spades sighed. "So much for Halloween.
Ace then got a contact from High Card. "What's up, sis?"
"Ace we literally need you're help. We were chasing bank robbers to the warehouse, and all the sudden we were attack by some sort of leech creature."
"We're on our way." Ace hang up. "I don't think Halloween is going to be canceled this year, sis. Come on." Ace said.
Eleven Of Hearts used her straps to wrap around Raymond so she could toss him to Strong Suit. Strong Suit gave him a strong blow to the face as he was flying up which Night Clubs using her jetpack is waiting in the air. Night Clubs played her guitar firing a sonic wave which pin him on the ground. Royal Flush charges to attack him wither wrench but Raymond grab, she struggles to get free but his grip is strong.
"I'm sorry." Raymond is getting ready suck her blood as Royal Flush in frighten.
But Strong Suit save her by giving him a bear hug which will squeeze him and force to let go of Royal Flush. "Get you're slimy hand off her!"
Raymond bite her are as she groan. As he sucks her blood, his body begins to act funny. "What is this? Her blood taste different from the other people I drain. I-it's making me...stronger." Raymond said in his head as he continues .
Back at the scientist's lab, he watches the fight through one of his monitors.
"Excellent. Excellent, Leech. Suck them dry." The Scientist laughed.
Strong Suit let go if him quickly and punch Raymond to get off. Raymond's muscle grow a bit as he watches Strong Suit feeling weak.
"Strong Suit, are you okay?" High Card asked.
"I...I don't know. My strength feels like it's gone." Strong Suit said weakly.
"Oh no." Night Club said.
Raymond ran to the Full House to deliver each blows on The Full House (except for Deuce who is absent because I don't want a baby being harm when fighting a Leech). Each punches were so brutal that they cough out blood and leave stain on floor. Raymond sees their blood on the floor, he stops attacking and start sucking their bloods on the ground.
"Ugh! Gross!" High Card said in disgust.
Raymond finish and turn to The Full House. "More. Must have. Mooore." Raymond said as he slowly walk towards them.
"Raymond!"
Raymond and The Full House turn around to see Ace Savvy and Eight of Spades rush through a big hole that The Full House made.
"Crap! I forgot about them!" The Scientist realized it.
"Stop this right now, Raymond." Ace Savvy said.
"Wait. This...This thing is Raymond?" High Card said in confusion.
"Yes it's him. I'll explain to guys later but right now...Raymond, you got to stop what you're doing." Ace Savvy said to Raymond.
"I can't, I'm sorry. I have to kill you guys so the scientist can change me back to normal."
"Scientist? What scientist?"
"I-I don't know. I never asked his name but he promise to help me." Raymond said.
"No! Damn it, Raymond! Why did you have to mention my envolvement!" The Scientist yelled at the monitor.
"Raymond, whoever that scientist may "think" can help you is a lie. Bad guys usually tricked the victims to take care of their problem. Trust me, this happens a lot." Ace explained.
"...N-no. You're lying!" Raymond charges and punch Ace and Spades super hard sending them tumbling down on the ground. The two struggles to get up with blood dripping from their arm. Raymond noticed it as his stomach growled for more blood.
"Raymond, stop! We know what your powers are capable off and it's very dangerous. You gotta stop so we could help you." Ace said.
"Nooo!" Raymond growled and then start charging again.
"What about Rudy, Raymond?"
Raymond stop charging after hearing his name.
"How will Rudy feels about you siding with the bad guy when he finds out. He will hate you for the rest of the life." Ace Savvy said.
Raymond got on his knees and started to sobbed. He realized that maybe he's telling the truth, what if the scientist is lying and is planning on using me for other personas after I killed them. Plus, Rudy will see him as a true monster and the love of his life will never forgive him.
"What are you doing?! Finish them off!" He shouted.
"You're right," Raymond sobbed. "I don't want to become a murder...please, help me."
Ace walk up to Raymond to comfort him. "It's okay. Don't worry, we'll get the help you need." Ace smiled.
The Full House recovers and join back to Ace.
"No. No!" He yelled smashing his keyboards with both hands.
Later that night, Lincoln in his scarecrow costume and Clyde in his Candy Man costume are outside of The Loud House giving out candies to the kids."
"Trick or treat!" Robocop Boy said.
Lincoln gives him on. "Here you go."
"Trick or treat." The girl said in a Supergirl costume.
"Here you go," Clyde said giving her one. "Dang it. I can't believe I missed out all the action. Sorry, dude, my parents were trying to help me find a good costume for Halloween." Clyde apologized.
"It's okay, bro."
"So, what happen to Raymond?" Clyde asked.
"Raymond is staying at S.O.L.A.R. Labs to find the way to change him back, he also promised to testified Jerry in the courts next week. We told Rudy about Raymond and he's glad that he's alright and wanted to come visit him everyday." Lincoln smiled.
"That's nice. Glad he has a happy ending." Clyde smiled.
"But what we don't know is that the scientist force him to do this." Lincoln said.
"What scientist?"
"That what we're going to find out soon." Lincoln said.
Back at the warehouse, The scientists walked in feeling very upset.
"God Damn it! Twice my plan failed from those bastards! How is it so hard to beat those kids?!"
The scientist sees dry blood stain on the ground, he analyze it by scanning the bloods using a scanner and it confirmed that all the blood dry stain belongs to Ace and The Full House. "Hmmm...it's stead of letting people kill them, why not I have them kill each other. Yes...Oh Yes!" The Scientist laughed.
Around midnight, The Loud Family are sound to sleep. In Lynn and Lucy's room, Lynn woke up to make sure Lucy is still sleeping which is good. Lynn takes Lucy's dairy out under her pillow. "You think you can get away with this Lucy, well now I know you're secret and I'm going to used it on you." Lynn said softly with a smirked. "You're not taking him away from him."
