Brad's Haunted Adventure!

Chapter 16: Kitchen Hi-Jinxs

Brad stepped into the Kitchen, which looked like any standard kitchen would. Before looking any further, he realized something. 

"Wait...I forgot to check if there was a Gremlin in the Dining Room!" 

He rushed back in there and raised his watch up to his face, noting that it was going off like crazy, so there was definitely one in here. His first stop was the chair Mr. Butch once sat in, so he shook that as hard as he could. Sure enough, another Gremlin Spirit emerged from it and spun into the air, laughing as hard as it could laugh. 

"The name's Lou, as in Loudacious! Got it?" The Gremlin introduced itself, its little arms wriggling around. 

"Yeah, I got it. But you got a one way ticket into my vacuum, so come here!" Brad said back as he started to suck it in. It screamed and tried to get away, but its resistance was pointless, as it got sucked in anyway. 

"And that takes care of that, now onto the kitchen." 

Brad stepped into the Kitchen and noticed that the sink was left running. He decided not to speak about any ghosts being in here, just to be safe. This prove to be in vain, as if the mansion had somehow read his mind and heard its cue, pots and pans that sat on the stove began to violently shake. Without warning, a pot flew off the stove and hit Brad square in the face, knocking him to the floor. 

Mere seconds after that, some plates came flying at him, making Brad roll out of the way as he heard them shatter against the wall. His heart was beating faster and faster as he trembled uncontrollably. 

"This is insane! Kitchen utensils are trying to end me!!!" He rasped out, feeling as though he was on the verge of another heart attack. 

Once that stopped, he stood up and walked to the fridge, hoping a nice, cold drink would calm his nerves. Instead, he was met with a 'freezing' ghost squealing and nearly attacking him. Acting quickly, he sprayed fire at it, making it stop as it tried to put itself out. Brad then sucked it right up, breathing a sigh of relief. The lights then came back on, and a big, blue chest appeared in the middle of the room. Upon opening it, Brad pulled out another medal like the Fire Medallion, only this one was blue and had a water symbol on it. 

"Whatever this is, it's gotta be special!" He yawped. 

Suddenly, his communication device beeped and played a little tune, meaning Professor Nicole was calling again. He whipped it out, and he indeed saw her face. 

"Hey now, bunny boy! What have you come across this time?" The bat girl questioned the rabbit. "Ohh...this time, it's..." She seemed incredibly astonished. 

"What is it, Professor?" Brad dared himself to ask. 

"Why, it's a Water Medallion, my friend! Now, you can use the Water Element whenever you wish!" Nikki exclaimed. 

"Awesome!" Brad said, feeling psyched. 

"My research shows that these particular Elemental Ghosts leave their watery dwellings whenever you approach them, and just like with the Fire Elemental Ghosts, should you ever come across one, just suck them up! Also, remember that water has purifying capabilities, so use it well." She informed Brad. 

"Don't get too caught up playing with your new squirt gun, Long Ears!" Cecelia said with a bit of a mocking tone in her voice. 

Brad simply ignored that comment, knowing that she meant well in the end. Upon ending the call, he went over to the running sink, wanting to try something. Sure enough, once he got close enough, a Water Elemental Ghost emerged from the depths of the sink! He quickly vacuumed it up and checked his watch, now seeing a blue meter with a rain drop above it. 

"Now I get to see how Midnight feels when she uses her water-bending powers!" Brad said excitedly. 

Walking ahead, he spotted a door that lead outside, and he would've went out there...if it wasn't on fire at the moment. He decided not to question how the fire wasn't spreading through the Kitchen and simply doused the flames in cool, blue water. Before he could reach the doorknob, the Gremlin Radar went off again, so our toony friend searched the place for it. After shaking the table, it came out in its usual cackling mannerisms. 

"Boy howdy, I'm Gabriel, and I'm a hooligan!" It chortled. 

Once again, Brad made quick worked of it, sent it and the data to Professor Nicole, and went back to the door, now journeying into the Boneyard, unaware of what awaited him.
