Chapter 44: It Came From Outer Loud

This chapter is a parody of the episode: It Came from Outer Ed. Written by Mr. Imitator

While the story structure will remain largely unchanged, the comic, curse, and ending will be completely different. I hope you enjoy

On a peaceful October day, Lincoln was in the kitchen, reading a new issue of one of his favorite comic books. Not Ace Savvy, but something a bit more… bizarre.

"YoYo's Strange Endeavor!" Lincoln exclaims, covering his eyes as he turns the page. With one eye open, gripping his comic tight, he examines said page.

Behind him, Lynn was peering inside from the kitchen door window. She rushes to the front yard, where the neighborhood kids have gathered, "Places, people! The show's about to start!"

Chandler remarks, "This better not blow, Loud."

Lynn rushes over to Clyde, who is carrying a wadded-up vampire cloak, vampire teeth, and a blond wig, and tells the bespectacled boy, "Everybody's waiting, Clyde!"

Clyde worries, "Lynn, I'm having second thoughts. Lincoln is sure to catch on to this charade."

Lynn glares, then turns Clyde around, "Stick to the script." Lynn then proceeds to kick Clyde into position.

Rushing to the kitchen door, Lynn starts beating on the door, "HELP! LINCOLN, SAVE US! HELP, LINCOLN!"

Lincoln yells, still engrossed in his comic, "Za Waru has broken the fourth wall into our world, and he's gone after Lynn!"

"Out here, nerdo." She said as Lincoln turned around.

"LYNN!" He slams his face against the window and holds up the book, "I got a new manga."

Lynn reaches through the doggy door, grabbing his leg, "So what? We're being attacked." She drags him outside and shows him off to the kids, "Stop panicking, folks! Everything's gonna be okay, 'cause Lincoln's here to save us!"

The confused white-haired boy asks, "I am?"

Lynn explains, "It's been terrorizing the neighborhood all morning! Oh, look! There it is!"

Lincoln looked down the sidewalk, where a large figure stood! Said figure was dressed like a vampire, complete with long nails like Nosferatu!

Bending backwards at its knees, the creature gives out a high-pitch yell, "WWRRRYYYYYYYYY!"

Lincoln pulls out his comic, reading from it, and then yells, "It is the curse of the steel mask!"

Chandler smirks, "What a maroon." He, Boy Jordan, Hawk, and Hank share a laugh.

Liam, who was with Lincoln's other friends, adds, "White-haired Loud-boy has fallen harder than Nana's arches, yes? No?"

Lynn clamps his mouth shut, "Ssh!"

Lincoln continues, "The Ultimate Lifeform has overcome the power of the sun, and will now feast upon the blood of the living!"

Darcy, who was sitting on a tricycle on the sidewalk, shivers. She turns to Sam, who was standing next to her, and tells the teen, "Jeepers, Sammy. Lincoln's scaring the Mr. BoJangles out of me."

Lynn tells the little Indian girl, "Don't worry, Darcy. You're in good hands."

She taps Darcy on the head, pushing her trike forward at the monster, and causing the little girl to yell, "Runaway trike!"

Lynn warns, "Look at that, Linc! The monster's sucking Darcy in!"

As Darcy screams her head off, the trike still rolling towards the monster, Lincoln chases after her while carrying a statue of an angel over his head, "CRUSH THE BLOODSUCKER!"

Over by the "monster", it's revealed it was just Clyde in the vampire getup he was holding earlier! Stuck in the position he leaned backwards into, his eyes bulged out of his head, "LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT CONCRETE ANGEL!"

Clyde tries to move out of the way, but the costume makes rapid movement impossible. "Oh, dear. Oh, dear. I can't seem to coordinate my—"

Too late! Lincoln smashes the statue down on top of the monster, not knowing he crushed Clyde and Darcy!

"The curse has passed! You are all safe."

Zach exclaims, "Holy moley!"

Rusty adds, "That was awesome!"

Stella asked, "So, where's Darcy?"

Lincoln asks, "Darcy?" He hears a small whine under the angel, seeing Darcy's arm poking out from underneath, slightly twitching. Realizing what he had done, Lincoln screamed out, "DAAARCYYYYYYYYYYY!"

Cracking up, Lynn wipes a tear from her eye, "You gotta love him."

Lincoln roots underneath the angel until he finds and pulls out Darcy, "SPEAK TO ME, DARCY!"

Delirious, the small one wearily replies, "Some things are best left unsaid."

Lincoln shouts, "FIRST AID FOR DARCY!"

Chandler grins, "Choice!"

Lincoln proceeds to give Darcy mouth-to-mouth, his inward breaths inflating her like a balloon, and her deflating every time he takes another breath. This results in Lynn, Chandler, Hawk, and Hank laughing so hard, all four of them were on the ground, holding their guts. Everyone glared at them for this, excluding Sam. She was racing towards Darcy!

"ARE YOU WITH US, DARCY?"

As he goes to do it again, Sam gets the bright idea to take Darcy away from him, "Stop it!"

"I've got prune lips, Sammy."

Sam holds Darcy tightly, "Lincoln, you slobber-mouthed baboon!"

As Luna's girlfriend carried Lisa's friend away from this madness, Chandler comments to Hawk and Hank, "That was so awesome, huh, guys?"

Lynn stands back up, sniffling from her laughter, "Gee, thanks, Chandler!"

"Oops. What I meant to say was it was awesome–for a one-year-old!" He and the bullies share another laugh, and all the kids take their leave, respectively.

Clyde crawls out from under the angel, "Oh...is this what we've been reduced to?! Humiliating each other?!"

Lincoln pulls Clyde out, "Clyde! Not you, too, buddy!"

As the middle Loud goes to CPR his best friend, Clyde stops him from doing so, "NO FIRST AID! STOP!"

Linc stops mid-kiss, dropping the McBride boy, "I feel bizarre."

"Bizarre?" Lynn chuckles some more, "You're a regular weirdo, Stinkoln!"

Lincoln pulls out his phone and pulls up an image of a lightbulb on the internet, "Ding!"

Perplexed, Lynn and Clyde look to each other, the jock stating, "Okay. I'm stumped."

Clyde explains, "I believe Lincoln has an idea."

"Ding!" Lincoln smiles, "For a plan."

Lynn laughs at this, "For what? How to look like an even bigger lame-o?"

Clyde remarks, "Don't say that, Lynn! Lincoln is the man with the plan, after all."

"Yeah, Lynn!" Lincoln repeats, "Ding!"

"What do you know? Forget it!"

As Lynn walks away, Lincoln sits down and starts crying. Clyde hugs his friend, "There, there Lincoln."

Lynn reaches the door, but stops and turns around, "What's he blubbering about?"

Still weeping, Linc explains, "Ding, Lynn!"

Clyde scolds the fifth-eldest Loud, "First, you make him the brunt of your joke, now you deny him freedom of concept! He may have thought of something truly unique."

"It's a simple plan, Lynn!"

As Clyde glares at Lynn, the latter has a look on her face: a mix of unamused and remorseful. However, she hides the remorse at the last second and yells, "ALL RIGHT ALREADY, DANG IT! Let's do your stupid plan, Lincoln."

Lincoln quickly cheered up, "Yes!" He whispers to Clyde, "I learned that trick from Lily." He tells them both, "Okay. First, we need- um—" He turns his back to read through YoYo, "A bunch of rocks!"

As the boy turns back to his sister and friend, Clyde asks, "Rocks?"

Lynn warns Clyde, "This is on your head."

Lynn walks away, Clyde thumbing his nose towards the sporty Loud. Then, he crosses his arms and follows wherever this plan was leading.

At an abandoned construction site, Lincoln is painting something on the ground, red paint splashing about. He stands, "I marked the spot with a X, Clyde!"

Clyde was standing next to a pile of rocks, each nearly as big as him!

"Let's move 'em out!"

Clyde is skeptical and tells his pal, "Lincoln, these rocks are quite large in mass and will require significant force in order to...transport..."

Clyde trails off as Lincoln just stares at his friend. Lincoln grabs Clyde's head and points forward, "Right over on the X, Clyde!" Leaving Clyde to haul rocks, Lincoln rushes to a porta-potty, "Ready, Lynn?"

Lynn steps out, looking like a 90's fashion disaster: A black fishnet top, which was worn on top of a long-sleeved black shirt which had holes for her thumbs, a black hoodie wrapped around her waist, black trip pants with a chain belt, black inline skates, black fingerless gloves, black inline skates, and even black sunglasses.

"Why am I dressed like this, Linc?"

Lincoln taps his head with his index finger, "It's all a part of the big plan."

Lynn rolls her eyes, "Yeah, right."

Lincoln points to a steam roller, "Now, paint this like an Egyptian pyramid." He hands a bewildered Lynn the paintbrush from earlier, running off, "My plan, my plan, my plan."

Clyde's struggling with a rock. He carries it to the spot Lincoln indicated, only to find, "Q?" However, the line for the Q was drawn to look like a triangle, for some reason. He turns to Lincoln, who is shoving an arrow up his sleeve, "Lincoln, where's the X?"

Lincoln heaves a sigh, "A, B, C, D, E, F, X, Y, Z. Don't you know your alphabet, McB?"

"But I don't understand! You said X marks the spot! All I see is a–"

"Ding!" Lincoln announces, "Lunchbreak!"

Clyde and Lynn are seated at a table. Lincoln opens a paper bag and hands them both sandwiches, which were each served upon a mannequin's hand. Lincoln grabs one and holds the hand, eating the sandwich off of it.

Lynn removed her sandwich from the hand, rightfully weirded out, and proceeds to eat it. Clyde awkwardly smiles, "Well, Linc, this is very nice. Thank you."

However, before Clyde could take a bite, Lincoln literally flips the table over, away from them! Then, he gently pushes Lynn aside and slaps the sandwich out of Clyde's hand, "Back to work!" Handing Clyde yet another rock, Linc reiterates, "Right on the X." As Clyde strains to walk, Lincoln tells his sister, "Come on, Lynn! We have to find black spaghetti noodles!"

"How stupid can you—" Before she could finish, Lincoln grabs her by the part of her chain belt that was dangling, "Hey!" Without putting up a fight, Lynn gets dragged off.

Clyde hobbles over, just missing them, "Wait, Linc!" There were a plethora of red Q's drawn all over the site, "I can't find an X!"

At Ketchum park, we see Lincoln's friends, Rusty warning, "Let go of our ball, Zach!"

Zach had a soccer ball stuck in his mouth, unable to speak intelligibly.

"If your teeth poke a hole in it, I'll let all the air out of your head."

Suddenly, Darcy and Sam show up, Darcy cheerfully running up to the group of kids, "Hey, guys!"

The kids turn their attention to her, Liam saying, "Hello."

Stella asks, "How you feeling, Darcy?"

Sam, who had her hands behind her back explained, "She's fine. Took the little tyke to Make-A-Stuff after her traumatic experience."

Darcy smiled, "I made a new friend for Rafo! Introducing…" As Darcy introduces, Sam reveals a stuffed black dog, "Iggy Pup! Isn't it adorable?"

Rusty jokes, "Better keep it away from Zach, or he'll eat it."

Darcy, now holding the stuffy, grips Iggy for safety, "He wouldn't dare! Iggy hates saliva." Hugging the doggy, the little 4-year-old cheers, "I love you, Iggy Pup!"

Rusty rolled his eyes at this, "I think I'm gonna hurl."

Liam wipes away a tear from his eyes, a sentimental tone in his voice, "Darcy's foolish affection for a stuffed hand cloth touches me, as I too have a childhood companion. Meet my turtle, Coco!"

Reaching under his shirt, the farm boy pulled out a giant turtle! It was roughly three times the size of the boy, and had a small keyhole on the back of its shell, for some unknown reason.

The turtle still in its shell, Liam climbs onto its back, "To this day, I seek comfort from Coco when I am frightened." As the turtle poked its head out, Liam gently hugs its neck and cuddles with it, "Hello, Coco."

Everyone was shocked, and the only response was Rusty asking, "Is that a giant turtle?"

Unnoticed by the group, Lincoln appears behind them. He was standing behind a mirror, peering just over the top of it. Lynn right behind him, the boy utters, "Our enemies await unsuspectingly."

"Uh… yeah. So, what now, Stinkoln?"

Turning to his sister, Linc nervously pinches his index finger and thumb together before shaking Lynn, "We need Clyde for this part!"

Lincoln gallops away, and comes back pushing Clyde forward. Clyde is dressed in an astronaut suit, sans the helmet, "There wasn't an X to be found, Lincoln."

After Lincoln jams a fishbowl over Clyde's head, the middle Loud explains, "Okay. Now, Clyde, it's very important for you to give Lynn these CDs." Lincoln pulls out a stack of blank CD's, handing them to Clyde.

"Very well." Clyde takes them and hands them to Lynn, "Here, Lynn."

Lynn complains, "Who even uses CDs anymore?"

"Now what?"

Lincoln repeats, "X marks the spot, Clyde!" He shoos Clyde away, "Off you go!"

As the adopted boy walks away, he in turns repeats, "There is no X, Lincoln!"

Lincoln whispers to Lynn, "Wait for my signal."

Lincoln walks over to the kids, his back horizontal. On his chest, he carries a shotput.

All of them were confused, with Sam asking, "What's with the steel ball, Linc?"

Lincoln stands up, the shotput rolling off his chest and onto the ground, making an audible thud. "Nothing."

Darcy and Sam approach him, the rocker commenting, "Linc, you're scaring me."

Suddenly, Lincoln grabbed Darcy's stuffed dog, running off with it!

Darcy cries out, "IGGY!"

Sam hollers, "Get back here!"

Lincoln rushes past Lynn, "Now, Lynn, now!"

"Now what?"

Lynn turns, seeing the kids surrounding her, looking none too pleased. Rusty asks, "Where's Iggy Pup?"

Lynn raises an eyebrow in confusion, "Iggy Pup? Who, Lincoln?"

Sam pushes everyone out of the way, glaring at Lynn. The jock nervously smiles and offers, "CD?" Sam pounces on Lynn, attacking her, "HELP ME!"

Back at the construction site, Lincoln drops the dog onto the Q, the former making a cute squeak after landing.

As Clyde stands nearby, still struggling with the rock, Lincoln praises, "Nice job, Clyde! It looks just like an X!"

Clyde, flummoxed by his friend, begins to rant, "Excuse me? Lincoln, I think somewhere along the line you lost your train of thought. Your plan is irrational, muddled, and inconsequential."

Lincoln eats a strange fruit, which looks like a bumpy dragon fruit. Clyde takes notice, "Where did you get that weird fruit?"

Mouth full of fruit, Lincoln asks, "What's the rock for, Clyde?"

Clyde was so stunned, the rock slipped from his grasp and fell onto his foot. He breaks the silence, "MY FOOT!"

Lynn appears, her clothes in tatters and looking quite pummeled, her metal belt wrapped around her neck and missing a skate, "MY HEAD!"

As she stumbles between the two boys, her little brother scolds, "You're late, Lynn!"

Lynn, furious from all of this, starts to strangle Lincoln, "Why'd you take the dog?" She begins to throttle him, "GIVE BACK DARCY'S IGGY PUP!"

Clyde is confused, "Iggy Pup?"

"HEY!"

We see Sam, Darcy, and Linc's friends; brows furrowed, blood boiling and ready for vengeance, seeking to reclaim the stuffed hand cloth. Liam was even carrying a pitchfork!

Sam warns, "Give Darcy back her puppy!"

Darcy comments, obviously distraught, "I'm but a shell of a girl without Iggy Pup."

Zach suggests, "Let's tickle 'em till they wet their pants!"

Clyde, now shaking from nervousness, "Well, let's not jump to anything rash. It's a simple breakdown in communication."

"You utter fools!" Linc is situated atop a mound of dirt, holding Iggy in his hand. The kids are in front of him, able to do nothing but watch.

"YoYo has beckoned you all!" He pulls out an arrowhead, holding it in his free hand, "With the power of the arrow head, I shall call the power to obtain Nirvana!"

Lynn snaps, "Nirvana? What are we gonna do with that?"

Without warning, Lincoln stabs the poor stuffed animal with the arrow, right in the stomach!

Darcy cries out once again, "IGGY PUP!"

After that, Lincoln tosses the arrowhead away, now biting said belly of the toy.

As the fuzz drifts down below, Lynn stood there confused, "What the heck's he doing?"

Clyde answered, "Embarrassing us to no end."

Liam was shocked and scared, "Loud-boy has bitten the belly of a stuffed hand cloth!" He pulls out his turtle, "Quickly!" He pulls out a key and uses it on the shell, opening it up to reveal a large cavity within the shell, "We must seek encouragement in the bosom of Coco!"

Stella remarks, "If you think I'm getting in that thing—"

"YOU WILL DOOM US ALL!" Liam forces Stella and the other kids into Coco, followed by himself. Shutting the shell, he shouts from inside, "ONWARD, COCO!"

Slowly, but surely, Coco came out of his shell and began to slowly crawl in the opposite direction of Lincoln and his group.

Clyde watches as the turtle crawls away, "Is that a giant turtle?"

Lynn glares at her brother, "Nice plan! They took off! So, what now?"

Lincoln was just as perplexed as Lynn, "You mean…" He then begins to exposit randomly, "I didn't summon the power of the black hole sun so I could say goodbye, cruel world, and climb the stairway to heaven to obtain the power of Nirvana?"

Lynn asks, "Say what?"

Lincoln pulls out YoYo once more and reads, "Well, that's what it says in…"

Lynn cuts him off, "You mean, this whole plan of yours… was all a stupid YOYO REFERENCE!? AAAH!" She turns to Clyde, "It's your fault. WHY DID YOU ENCOURAGE HIM?!"

Sliding down the dirt mound, Lincoln frowned, "Aw, shucks, sorry guys. My plan didn't work. But I did everything it said in the manga."

Clyde explains to his friend, "Lincoln, manga are nothing more than fiction, written for the sole purpose of entertainment."

Suddenly, three of them took notice as it suddenly got dark. Lynn sarcastically comments, "Oh, great! Now it's night. Thank goodness we wasted a whole day on this!"

Clyde checks his watch, "Um, Lynn. It's only 1." They look up, and see that the sun was in the middle of a solar eclipse, "Strange. I've heard nothing about a solar eclipse happening. Also, looking at it like this, we should all be blind by now."

Suddenly, things began to levitate off the ground, or rather, gravitate towards the heavens!

Clyde then realized, "Oh, no."

Lincoln smiled, "Oh, yes."

Suddenly, everything and everyone in Royal Woods began to leave the ground, flying towards the direction of the black sun! We see Coco flying up, Liam's voice calling out, "Hey! What's going on, here?! COCO, WHAT'S HAPPENING!?"

However, rather than burning up, they were all sucked into it, like a black hole!

Clyde shouts, "IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT!"

Lynn comments, terrified at the thought of their impending doom, "Man, I hate references."

Finally, the three of them were sucked upward, towards their demise.

Throwing his hands up, Lincoln praises, "YoYo has beckoned us!"

"LINCOLN!"

They then disappear into the black abyss, never to be seen nor heard from again.

Possibly.
