The Really Loud House vs. Gremlins

Chapter 6: The Plunge

Isaac grinned ecstatically as he along with Stripe, Mohawk, Prank, Pom-Pom and Edgar rode Mr Grouse's mower down the street. The now brainy gremlin had given Stripe directions on where to go, but not before they make a quick stop.

"Right here, Stripe. I believe we've kept our brothers waiting long enough." he pointed as the McBride house came into view before they pulled up outside the abode, ignoring the terrified Howard and Harold who'd barricaded themselves inside their own car with Cleopawtra and Nepurrtiti.

"I don't think even Dr Lopez will be able to help us get over this nightmare." Howard whimpered hugging Cleopawtra close as Isaac went to knock on the door. A second later it opened to reveal a sickly green gremlin with thick lips and a permanent frown.

"Evening, Maurice. You're looking well." Isaac greeted him. "As are you, Roger." He added when Maurice was joined by a tall brown gremlin with droopy ears and large buck teeth.

"I see you've been having fun, but we have work to do. I guess you could say it's time to go to school." the brainy gremlin smirked. Though he wasn't nearly as smart as his mutated brother, Maurice got the hint of Isaac's intentions as he smirked back at him before he grunted at Roger and pointed to the mower. The goofy gremlin nodded before he went to join the others. But at that moment the familiar screech of Vanzilla's tyres reached their ears as the vehicle rounded the corner.

"Uh-oh. Looks like our former owners are on the chase." Isaac muttered irritated. Stripe glared at them as he hopped down from the vehicle and ran over the house, reaching into a backpack he'd stolen from the Loud House before pulling out a can of hairspray and a lighter. Isaac and Maurice wisely stepped back before Stripe, laughing maniacally, set loose a torrent of flames from the can upon the McBride house setting one of the outer walls alight.

The Louds, McBrides and Santiagos gasped in horror as Lynn Sr. brought the van to a stop while the gremlins set off again.

"Your move, humans!" Isaac jeered as they fled.

"Quick, put out the fire before it destroys our house!" Harold panicked, Howard having fainted from the shock.

"But we can't let them get away!" Leni said wringing her hands. Lincoln thought for a moment before he tossed his phone to his Dad and handed Lily to his Mother.

"Dad, you and Mom call the fire department and help the McBride's contain the blaze; we'll stop the gremlins."

"No! Those demons tried to kill you last time. I'm not about to let my babies go up against them." Rita argued.

"As long as we have flashlights they can't attack us." Lincoln reassured holding one of the torches.

"Lincoln's right. The longer we wait here the further they get to whatever they're trying to accomplish." Lori agreed. "And don't worry, I'll watch the twins and Lisa."

"And I'll stick with Nie-Nie, Lincoln and Clyde. We'll keep them safe, Mrs L and Mr McBs." Bobby added to the parents.

"I must concur with them, Mother. Isaac stole a number of formulas from my room which in the wrong hands could prove very dangerous. And he knows where to find more so we must stop them posthaste." Lisa insisted. Rita looked to her husband who was currently giving the fire brigade their location while Harold was trying to wake Howard. Knowing how stubborn her children were the matriarch sighed with frustration.

"If you're going after them stick together and keep each other safe or so help me I'll ground you for life. That includes you kids as well." She added to Clyde, Bobby and Charlie who nodded nervously.

"We promise, Mom. We'll be alright." Lori smiled as Lily whined worriedly.

"Oh it's ok, Lily. Everything's gonna be fine." Lincoln kissed his baby sister's cheek. "We're gonna teach those little monsters a lesson."
