Brad stood in the Foyer, wondering where to start on his hunt for those gremlin spirits. He recently spoke to Boda, who once again 'saved' his progress somehow. 

"I guess I should start at the Bathroom and see if there's any of them in there." Brad said to himself. 

He gathered up some courage as he walked his way down the hallway, avoiding as many ghosts as he could. Upon reaching his destination, he looked around the Ballroom for any signs of those pests. Suddenly, Brad's Gremlin Radar started to beep loudly, flashing yellow first, and then turned to red. 

"Where are you, ya little stinker?" Brad said, holding his vacuum close, ready to capture that gremlin spirit. 

He moved over to a pair of chairs, when the watch started to go crazy. "It oughta be in one of those chairs!" Brad shook the first chair, hoping it was in there. 

But to his surprise, what popped out was a large bomb! Brad jumped out of the way in time right as it exploded. 

"That sly little....I can't say it, it's a swear word, and I'm not Isabella." Brad grumbled, dusting off his clothes. 

He looked around, following the Radar until he stopped at a painting of a fox. as it went crazy again. Brad gave it a few shakes, and out came a loud cackle, along with a Gremlin flying out. 

"Allo! I'm Felix, the wonderful, wonderful Gremlin!" It squawked. 

Brad pointed the Spirit Sucker at it and chased it around the Ballroom. However, this felt different to him, seeing as how there wasn't a strange pull or struggle to get the Gremlin. 

It screeched, wanting to break free from Brad's suction grasp, floating over to the entrance. It let out one last cackle before disappearing into the hallway. 

"Get back here, ya little runt!" Brad yelled, running out of the Ballroom. 

Sure enough, the spirit was out in the hallway, cackling and screeching like the ghost it was. 

Brad quickly took care of it, watching it go down the vacuum's tube. 

"Sweet! One down...forty nine left to find!" He said, trying to be enthusiastic and not worried about the long search ahead of him. 

Suddenly, his watch made some sounds and he picked it up, knowing it was Professor Nicole. 

"Mercy! You already caught your first Gremlin! Now, I've been researching those little guys..." The bat girl talked. 

"What'd you find out?" Brad wanted to know. 

"Well, they don't really seem to like light, that's for sure. Thus, they do their best to hide in and under furniture when they're stuck in a lit room." She revealed. 

"So, do you think the fastest way to find all of them would be to get the lights on in every room in this mansion?" Brad asked. 

"I do think that. Great minds think alike, wouldn't you agree, my boy?" 

Brad nodded in agreement. 

"Now then, send over the Gremlin and the data ya got, please." Nikki instructed. 

Our titular friend complied with the professor's wishes and did so. 

"Great! Be careful now, youngster!" She said before the call ended. 

"Now then, I best check the Storage Room next. There's probably another ghost in there anyway." Brad said to himself as he went over to its respective door. 

Upon opening it, he instantly spotted one cackling and flying around. 

"Just call me Donald, the despicable Gremlin!" 

Brad merely smirked as he sucked it up without that big of a fight. And just like before, he sent it and the data to Professor Nicole.

"I still got a lot of rooms to go through, and even more to find when the time comes too. But those things made the mistake of messing with the people I love, and that calls for payback! Look out, Gremlins, because here comes Brad T. Rabbit!" Brad announced as he left the room , feeling determined as ever to catch more Gremlin spirits.
