A Loud Legend Redux Chapter 9

Oonski just knocked over a top of a tree with his mace, and his loyal anhinga dropped a bunny plush. He dropped down and spoke to his fellow Coons.

"What do you see?" Asked Oonski, giving the plush to a large rat.

"Sea prunes, from the Arctic Ocean." Said the rat. A squirrel grabbed it and noticed a hair.

"White fur from polar dogs." Said the squirrel with a French accent. A yellow beaver with a purple nose smelt it and noticed something fishy (no pun intended).

"La and Tui." He said. "Spirits of the Ocean and Moon." He gave the plush back to Oonski.

"This plush came from the Water Tribe in Ontario," Said the beaver Viking. "Where the Royal Woods army is waiting for us."

"We can avoid them easily." Said another squirrel.

"No." Protested Oonski. "The quickest way to Hillwood is through that pass. And besides, the child will be missing his plush. We should return it to her."

Back at DeLisle Isle, Lincoln was about to bathe in the lake with his underwear on, but Craig didn't think it's a good idea.

"This is not a good idea." Said the pint-sized serpent. "What if somebody sees you?"

"Just because I look like a man doesn't mean I have to smell like one." Said Lincoln, wiping off his makeup.

"So a few men don't rinse their socks." Said Craig. "Picky, picky, picky. I personally like that corn chip smell." Lincoln jumped in the lake, but luckily, his fake facial hair still remained.

"All right. That's enough." Said Craig "Now get out before you get all wrinkly and stuff."

"If you're so worried, why don't you go stand watch?" Asked Lincoln. Craig agreed to his dismay, and he imitated Lincoln privately.

"Great idea." He said, while also mocking Lincoln. "'Stand watch, Craig, while I blow our secret with my stupid feminine habits.' Pfft. Hygiene." Suddenly, Heffer, Harold, and Sid all ran towards the lake!

"We're doomed!" Said Craig. "If they see Lincoln's acne, he'll end up looking white and red with black all over!" Meanwhile, in the pond, the gang of three noticed 'Collin'.

"Hey, guys." Said Lincoln, covering his acne with a lily pad. "I didn't know you were here. I was just washing. So now I'm clean, and now I'm gonna go." Lincoln hid behind a rock.

"Come back here." Said Sid. "I know we were jerks to you before, so let's start over. Hi, I'm Sid."

"And I'm Heffer." Said the yellow steer.

"Hello, Heffer." Said Lincoln shyly.

"And I am Harold," Said Harold, standing on top of a rock. "King of the rock! And there's nothing you sissies can do about it!"

"Oh, yeah?" Said Sid. "I bet Collin and I can take you."

"I don't want to take him anywhere." Said Lincoln, placing leaves on his pimples.

"But Collin, we have to fight!" Begged Sid.

"No we don't." Said Lincoln. "We could just close our eyes and swim around."

"Come on. Don't be such a..." Suddenly, Sid felt a bite on his behind, and Craig popped out of the water.

"What a nasty flavor." He said.

"Eel!" Shrieked Sid, and Heffer and Harold became afraid as well. While they were distracted, Lincoln whistled for Lynnda, and she came to his aid. She helped Lincoln get out of the lake, with Craig on her tail (literally). Heffer, Harold, and Sid were now all standing on the rock.

"Some king of the rock." Muttered Sid, but Harold punched him. Meanwhile, Lincoln, Lynnda, and Craig were all walking out of the pond and back to his tent.

"Boy, that was close." Said Lincoln, peeling the leaves off his face.

"No, that was vile." Said Craig, brushing his teeth. "You owe me big!"

"I don't want to see a naked man ever again," Stated Lincoln. "Or at least, until I'm 25." Regardless, a whole group of men went charging towards the lake.

"Don't look at me." Said Craig. "I ain't biting any more butts."

Author's Notes: The squirrel with a French accent is one of Les Squirrels in Harvey Beaks.

The large rat is Snap Trap, the antagonist of the rather disappointing Nicktoon TUFF Puppy. He's a bit like Dr. Heinz Doofenschmirtz from Phineas and Ferb but as a rat.

The beaver with yellow fur and a purple nose is Norbert, one of The Angry Beavers.

We'll see Norbert again, along with his brother Daggett, in Chapter 13.
The bunny plush is a nod to Bun-Bun, a stuffed animal that Lincoln secretly sleeps with in The Loud House. 
The koi fish La and Tui were mystic koi that resided in the Southern Water Tribe in Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Sea prunes are also from Avatar. It's a small fruit that lives in the ocean, and was a popular delicacy for Water Benders.
