Episode 18: H2-OH NO!

At the backyard of the loud house, Lori, Luan, Lola and Leni are in the pool feeling extremely hot while the rest are standing to listen to the radio.

"It's another hot hot scorcher in the rare fall heat wave! And speaking of hot, here's a new Mick Swagger single that's burning up the charts!"

Everyone groans.

Lynn growls. "This sucks!"

"And the worst of all, this extreme heat will be going on for two more weeks." Luan said as she wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Well, it is the summer after all." Leni said.

"Leni, it's September." Luna corrected her.

"Then, why is it still hot?" Leni asks her.

"This pool doesn't do crap anymore! I'm still hot!" Lola complained.

"Cthylla, could you hit us with your water blast." Lana begged to her.

"Unless you want to get hurt by it really bad, I'm sorry I can't." Cthylla apologized.

Lori mouth feels dry. "I'm literally thirsty. Lincoln, be good brother and get a water bottle."

"We're all out. Lisa drink the last one." Lincoln told her.

"Well, then go to the store buy some. I'm dying in this heat."

"Wait. Why-you know it's too hot I'm not going to fight you." Lincoln said. "How about the rest of you guys?" Lincoln asks the rest of them.

"Too hot." They responded.

"I'll go." Cthylla joining in.

"Will go with you." Lynn and Lucy jumped in with excited glee on their faces. The two look at each other with anger.

"Good. I could used some extra help." Lincoln, Lucy, Lynn, and Cthylla put on their sandals and head out to the store.

At Flip's Food & Fuel, Flip is standing near the counter looking upset when he hasn't got any customers. Lincoln, Cthylla, Lucy, and Lynn enter his store which change his expression. "It's about time. Welcome to Flip's Food & Fuel. Need some cold refreshment, there down there." Flip pointed at the back.

"Thank you, sir. What a nice guy." Cthylla smiled.

"Yeah, if you have money in your pocket." Lincoln said to Cthylla.

The Gang head down the aisle and pick up some water bottles, and to the counter ready for it to get purchase.

"Slow business?" Lynn asks him.

Flip sighed in frustration. "Yeah. Everyone stop coming here. They're probably at Ed's Gas & Snack."

"Why so?" Cthylla asks him.

"Because Ed brought in new supplies of water bottles "Crystal Pure" from Crystal Pure company.' Flip turn his back. "Their water can make everyone feel easily cool and fresh."

"Cool you say?"

"Yeah, and because of that, the bastard has been stealing my customers. And no other water company will make an offer due to my bad reputation in the past, so I have to "make" my own water. At least you guys are here to buy my..." Flip turns back around to see Lincoln and the others are already gone leaving the water bottles here. "Damn it! I shouldn't have brought this up." Flip exited out of his store and spotted The gang head over at a second Ed's Gas & Snack which is across the street. "That does it! He's not going to steal anymore of my customers! Not this time!" Flip took out his cellphone and make some call. "Floyd, get Dante and some gallon of chemicals. We're striking at Crystal Pure company tonight. Don't be late." Flip hang up.

Back at the Loud house, the loud siblings are sitting on the couch feeling a lot better after drinking Crystal Pure.

"Dude, this water is rad! You said you bought it at Ed's?" Luna asks Lincoln.

Lincoln stop drinking his water bottle for a sec. "Yeah. Ed told me that he's good friend with the owner of Crystal Pure and is glad to bring in their pure water to his store." Lincoln goes back to drinking.

"We should literally go there for now on instead of that jerk Flip." Lori said.

"I agree." Lana agreed.

"Poo-poo." Lily nod.

"Anyway, let's finish our last bottles and go out patrol. We can't have this heatwave make us sit around and drink water all day." Lincoln said.

Crystal Pure Company...

At around midnight, Flip, Floyd, and Dante in their ski masks and wearing protecting gloves, caring three gallon of corrosive chemical arrived outside of the gate. Flip zip down his bag to pull out his gate cutters, and cut the gate big enough for them to enter. As they reach to the back door, Floyd pour some corrosive to melt the lock. But what they didn't know as when they rush inside, they tripped the silent alarm.

Meanwhile, Ace Savvy is riding his Ace Cycle as patrolled the streets until he picks up an alarm from Cycle, and contact his team through his comlink. "I'm picking up a alarm from Crystal Pure. It could be breakin."

"Do you require assist?" Card Counter asks him.

"Nah, their just a bunch of crooks. Nothing too serious. I'll take care of them." Ace hang up and drives faster.

Back with Flip, they ran down the catwalk and stop to pour corrosive chemical into each vats.

"Flip, this is crazy. We're going to the big house for this." Dante said.

"Stop complaining. As soon we're done, we're out of here. Once the water is fully polluted, Ed will break up the contract with this company after discovering the water is poisoning the customers, he'll go back selling back his plain water." Flip said pouring the chemicals in.

All three of them have finish.

"Good. Now, let's get the hell out of here before...

Ace jumps in. "Before I show up. Too late."

Dante and Floyd are terrifying to see him

"Oh, no. Not you."

Ace recognize that voice. "Wait. That voice...Flip?"

"Get him!" Flip shouted his friends.

"What?! Are you-*sigh*. Dante got close to Ace and throw punches in the air. He's scared to make contact with him which he looks away.

Ace grab onto his fist, and flip Dante knocking him out on the catwalk. Next, Ace grapple Floyd's ankle as he tries to escape, and drag him back here to tie him. "You stood a new low, Flip." Ace pointed at Flip.

Flip throws the empty gallon at him but Ace knock it across away from, and makes a run for it. Ace quickly chase after him. But without looking, Flip trip over an empty pail and mop causing him to trip over the rails.

"Flip!"

Ace rush over and grab Flip's hand, but do to his heavy weight he can't couldn't his hand anymore.

Flip screamed. "AHHH!" Felling down into the vat of chemical water as he slowly sicks melting him at some sort.

There is nothing he could. All Ace could do is stood there in a horror stat after seeing Flip got dissolve.

Later, the police arrived and arrested Floyd and Dante while doing some investigation around the company after Ace departed to his cycle and drives off. He got a call from Strong Suit to check up on him.

"Hey, Lincoln, did you take care those losers. Don't tell me you're having a hard time with them." Strong Suit joked.

"Yeah, I...I took care of them."

"You don't sound so happy. Is something wrong?" Strong Suit asks him.

"Actually, yeah, tell the others to come back to the Ace Cave." Ace tells her.

"Okay, bro." Strong Suit hang up.

Ace sighed. "I may don't like Flip but he doesn't deserve that. Wish I could do more."

Back at Crystal Pure, the cops are already gone. It may seem peaceful now until...

Bubbles begins bubbling from the water.

The Next Day...

Still hot outside, Lincoln, Cthylla, Lynn, and Lucy heading down to Ed's Gas & Snack to pick up more Crystal Pure.

"I still can't believe Flip would do something like that." Cthylla angrily said.

"Not really. Flip pull this kind of stuff before." Lynn said.

Lincoln sighed in sadness. "If only I could I save him, but now he's dead."

Lucy hold his hand. "Don't blame yourself, Lincoln. You did all you could."

Lynn hold his other hand. "Besides, there's nothing for you to feel guilty about it. It's his own damn fault for getting himself killed. You're were just doing your job."

"I know but still."

"Maybe a taste of Crystal Pure will help you clear thoughts." Lynn smiled.

"I don't think...

Lynn and Lucy drag Lincoln inside Ed's place as Cthylla follows.

In the bathroom, Ed just finish using the toilet and is about to wash his hands. "Huh?" Ed just turn the sink water on and no water is coming out. "I thought my plumber fix the pipes yesterday." Suddenly, his sink started to shake confusing Ed.

"Damn it. They're all out." Lynn said.

"Looks like we'll have to come back next time." Lincoln tells them.

"Our sisters won't like it." Lucy said.

The gang soon heard a loud scream from Ed.

"That's Ed." Lincoln noticed that scream.

The bathroom door bust down as a wave of water held Ed escaping out of the store. Ed scream and cried out for help. Lincoln, Lucy, Cthylla, and Lynn were surprised and not sure what just happen, so they rush out of the store to see the wave heading south.

"Uh...what just happen?" Lynn confusingly asks them.

"I have no idea, but we better suit up and follow the trial. Quick. Cthylla, get back home and tell the others on what's going on." Lincoln said.

"Right." Cthylla rush off back home.

"Looks go find somewhere to change." Lincoln tells his sisters.

Lynn and Lucy blushes.

"You mean we have to go change next to you?" Lucy asks him with a blush.

"Uh, yeah? Why?"

Lynn covers Lucy's mouth before she could say anything else. "It's nothing. We should probably hurry."

The three head to an ally to change into their costumes

"HELP!" Ed call for help.

Ace, Eight of Spades, and Strong Suit jump from different to different to chase after the wave. Citizens on the grounds manage to escape while others get caught in the wave. The wave still caring Ed went straight down to a gigantic hole that was being dug for newer sewer pipes at a construction site as Ed scream. Our heroes stop and look down the hole.

"Oh, man. Looks like we got lot of climbing down." Ace said.

"No need. I know a faster way." Strong Suit hold on onto Eight of Spades and Ace Savvy. "Hold on tight." Strong Suit jump down. Way down. All the way down to the sewer lines. Strong Suit leaves an impact on the ground after she lands. Eight of Spades push Strong Suit off her as he was mortified of that experience.

"Don't ever do that again." Eight of Spades glares at Strong Suit.

"Why? You afraid?" Strong Suit smirked.

Eight of Spades growled.

"Come on, guys. We need to go save Ed. Follow the trail."

Ace, Eight of Spades, and Strong Suit race forward following the trail of water.

The wave dissolve. Ed cough and breaths heavily after some water got into his mouth. While he's coughing, a silhouette man in a trenchcoat and hat approach in front of him.

"You have fun?" He asks him in a gargling voice.

Ed cough one more time. "What's going on? Who are you?"

He laughed. "Seriously? You can't even recognize my own voice, Ed."

"Uh, no. You speak in a gargling sound which is very hard for me to recognize it."

"Fine. Let me break it down for you. I own a store which I make lots of money before you show at my block stealing my customers, you bastard."

"Wait...Flip?"

"That's right. Flip." Flip crossed his arms

"But the news say you were dead?"

"I though I was dead too, but then I soon started to move. That contaminated vat of water I fell in transforming me into all master of water. Hydrous."Flip removes his trenchcoat and hat, revealing his whole made out of water.

"Dear god, Flip."

"It's Hydrous now! You've steal my business for the last time, Ed!" Hydrous shouted as walk slowly towards him.

"No! Stay back! Help! Help!" Ed cried as he moves away.

"Cry for help all you want, Ed. There's no one here to save you."

"Are you sure about that?"

Hydrous change back to his normal turn back to his normal form to see Ace, Eight of Spades, and Strong Suit arrived in time.

The gang gasped."Flip? You're alive?"

"Great. You brats are here." said Hydrous.

"Let him go, Flip. Whatever you have against Ed is not worth it." Strong Suit said.

"It will be. Now, butt out this is non of your business." Hydrous turn back and continue waling towards Ed.

Eight of Spades jumps in front of him with her shovel out. "My sister said let him go." Spades's shovel went through his chest without no effect on him. "What?"

Hydrous laughed. "That tickles. My turn." Hydrous blast water out his his chest pushing Eight of Spades towards the wall.

"Spades! Big mistake." Strong Suit charge forward to tackle him but only phase through him and collide onto the wall as she coughed when some of the water got into her mouth. "What just happen?"

Hydrous change into his water form, morphed into a hand to grab Ace before he could react, and sloshes him against the wall. "These powers are amazing! I wonder what else I could do." Hydrous punch one of the pipes above our heroes as all the water pour on their heads, he the used the pipe waters to surrounded our heroes and then heat up the water.

Strong Suit sarcastically said. "Ooh. Water. I'm really scared." Strong Suit was going to rush through it but Eight of Spades stop her. "What gives? It's just water."

"Can't you see the smoke coming from the water?" Eight of Spades pointed.

"Oh." Strong Suit realized it.

"We need to come up with something and fast, or we'll be boiled alive." said Ace.

"That'll take care you brats." Hydrous turn back to Ed. "Now, where were we."

"No, please!" Ed begged.

Suddenly, a sonic wave hit Hydrous which blow him up causing the wall of water goes down. Ace, Eight of Spades, and Strong Suit are happy to see the rest of their sisters.

"Are you guys okay?" High Card asks the three.

'We're fine." They replied.

"How did you find us?" Eight of Spades asks them.

"Cthylla used her psychic powers to help us locate you." Royal Flush explained.

Hydrous pull himself together, firing water onto the heroes when they weren't looking. "Come on, Ed. Time for us to leave." Hydrous grab him and make a run for it.

The Full House got back on their feet and chase after Hydrous, but then soon lost him at the waterworks leaving some sample of water on the floor.

In the Ace Cave, Card Counter stood in her lab studying Hydrous's sample. She already know that the DNA of Hydrous is confirmed to Flip, but there is something in his DNA. "The chemical water that Flip fell into had alternated his DNA transforming him into this aquatic being." Card Counter tells her siblings.

"Tell us something we don't know." Queen of Diamonds rolled her eyes.

"But I did find something wrong. Like The Superiors, Flip's DNA is becoming unstable. The more time he uses his power, the more of his molecular structure will breakdown. He'll die if we don't get him some help."

"Then, we better head out and find them." Ace said.

"News flash. How are we going to find them? They disappear to the pipes." Queen of Diamonds pointed out.

Ace turn to Cthylla. "Cthylla."

Cthylla concentrate. "Found him. He's located at a Water filtration Plant."

"Good work. It's time we take the Ace Boat. Lori, you'll take the wheel. We need two more for the back seat."

"We'll go." Strong Suit and Eight of Spades said together but then glare at each other before looking away.

"Alright, let's go." Ace said.

Inside the Water filtration Plant, Hydrous pants heavily as his body leaks trying to regain his strength. "I don't get it. Why do I feel weak." Hydrous thought to himself.

Ed is still terrifying. "I still don't understand. You're upset because of the water sales."

Hydrous hits him with water. "It's not just the waters, it's everything! I lower my sales, you went for free. You're basketball team beat my team and got a swarm of customers after your victory. Plus, you got me arrested.!"

"You were selling expired food to people. That's disgusting." Ed said.

"Enough! It's time I'm going to make you pay!" Hydrous rises up in his water form and his ready to kill him but got hit by an exploding card.

Ace, High Card, Eight of Spades, and Strong Suit jump out of the water.

Hydrous groans as he struggles to reassemble himself. "You guys again."

"High Card, get Ed out of here. We'll hold him off."

"You got it, Ace." High Card rush to Ed.

"Oh no you don't." Hydrous is about stop her but got hit by another exploding card from Ace.

High Card got Ed. "Hold your breath." She take him back into the water

"No! He's mine!"

Hydrous lashes out with one of his hand, trying to drown the heroes but they dodge it.

"Flip, stop using your powers! You're killing yourself!" Strong Suit yelled.

"Ha! Like I'm going to believe that!" Hydrous fired water out of his hand to hit Strong Suit knocking her into the water, next, he extends his body so that he can grab Ace and Eight of Spades. "Now I got you." Hydrous grins.

Strong Suit climb back to the surface. "Ace! Spades!" She yelled.

Hydrous groans. "You're finished."

Strong Suit charges but Hydrous extend his arm to grab her and throws her through the air, she grab onto his arm and tries her best not to let go.

"Flip, please. We need to get you help. You're becoming unstable the more time you used your powers." Ace grunted.

"Oh, would you just shut up and die already." Hydrous squeezed the two even harder while his other arm tries to get Strong Suit off. But since it's not working, he decided to drown her by sinking her into his arm. Hydrous laughed until...

Hydrous gasp. His body is falling apart causing him to let go of the heroes. "My body! What's happening?!" Hydrous tries to reassemble himself but it's not working

"We warn you, you're molecular structure is starting to breakdown. The powers that you're using has been slowing killing you. Now, it's too late." Ace tells Hydrous.

"No. NOOOO!"Hydrous stood up and glares at the heroes with a furious look on his face. "YOU BRATS ARE GOING TO PAY!" Hydrous charge forward to attack them physically.

"Flip, don't!" The heroes jump out of the way before he could touch them. Hydrous fell to the ground destroying himself leaving nothing but a big puddle. Ace, Strong Suit, and Eight of Spades squat down to look closer at the puddle.

"Is he..."

"I'm afraid so, Lucy. I'm afraid so." Ace answered her.

The next day, Lincoln, Lucy, and Lynn are standing out of the Flip's Food & Fuel which is closed for the meantime.

"Well, I guess this is the last time we'll see this place." Lynn said.

"Not really. They said the store will remain closed until they find an replacement." Lincoln said to Lynn.

"What are we going go for refreshment now? Ed's store is still out of Crystal Cure." Lucy said.

The three sigh together until Lincoln felt a drop on is nose.

"Huh?" Lincoln looks up.

Clouds have already appeared and begins to rain down on everyone in Royal Woods. Everyone run outside and splashes water in their faces in pure bliss. At the backyard of Loud House, the loud siblings and Cthylla are having fun time outside in the rain.

"Looks like we got some refreshment after all." Lincoln smiled.

Lincoln, Lucy, and Lynn plays in the rain together as they laugh.
