The Rift

Chapter 13. Welcome to the Jungle

Not so long ago in our milky way galaxy...

The Louds have realized that the name "The Loud Ship" was really dumb. Like really dumb. As the writer I do apologize for that. I was kind of on a role with "The Singularity" and "The Gem" which are both awesome ship names. But "The Loud Ship", that really was kind of a dud. Like even just saying that name feels lazy and juvenile. Like having a Loud House and the Thing crossover and calling it "The Loud Thing" like that just doesn't even flow right. Luckily, I called my Thing Crossover "The Thing About the Loud House." So at least that's good.

So anyway, the Louds changed the name of the ship to the much cooler and cleverer "Shipzilla". Once the ship was given a proper name the Louds headed to the desert planet of Natune. There they met a Raptor engineer named Michael who has defected from the Red King's army and has offered a helping hand to our heroes.

Furthermore, it was confirmed that despite being nearly omnipotent, The Red King does have one fatal weakness... He is deathly allergic to peanuts.

With this information the Loud siblings concoct a plan to use this weakness to finally put an end to the evil Red King once and for all.

And who better to come up with such a plan, then the "Man with a Plan" Lincoln Loud.

...

"Been a while since I've been out here." Michael said.

"So where do we go now?" Lori asked.

"Well now that we know the Red King's weakness, We, should start making a plan to take him down." Luna suggested.

"But why? Can't we just leave him alone?" Leni asked. "I mean what has he done to us really? I mean someone that cute can't be all bad, right?"

"Well Ted Bundy was viewed as attractive to some people, and he was as bad as they come." Lisa replied.

"Ew, that guy is totes creepy." Leni said. "His eyes give me nightmares."

"I did say some people." Lisa added.

"Just because you have a crush on the guy, doesn't mean he's not evil, dude." Luna said.

"Well... have we seen him do anything bad?" Leni said.

All the siblings gave Leni a look.

"Seriously dude?" Luna said.

"Well, I just think we need to look at it from both sides." Leni said.

"If I may," Michael chimed in, "Now, I will help you lot survive out here, and I'll even help you find your way home. But I can take no part in killing the Red King."

"Why not, dude." Luna said.

"He's the leader of my home planet for one." Michael pointed out. "Not to mention it's a suicide mission."

"Michael's right about one thing." Lori said. "Even knowing the Red King's weakness, we have very little chance of beating him. The guy could literally make this ship blink out of existence with just a single thought."

"Then why hasn't he?" Leni said.

"We can't attack the Red King head on," Lincoln said, "But we cannot deny that he is hunting us. And Leni, I'm sorry to say this, but we can't risk the Red King getting to Earth. Who knows what kind of damage he could cause?"

"Well if that's your plan," Michael said, "I'm not going to stop you as you have been nice to me. However, I can no longer travel with you. Just drop me off at the next civilized planet and we'll part ways."
