User blog:Dudiho/Hey Arnold! The Jungle Movie (The Loud House Crossover) - Chapter 3

The forest was dark, so Arnold shone his torch through the dark wilderness. He now wished Gerald was with him. Then he noticed some rustling noises behind him and looked around to see who it is.

"Who's there?" He asked, panting hard like someone was going to kill him.

So he ran away! “Stay away from me!" He shouted as he ran fast.

"Wait!" A voice shouted.

"Never!" Arnold said until he smacked himself into a tree and got knocked out.

"Arnold? Arnold?!" The voice asked in panic. "Are you OK?"

As Arnold raised himself up, he noticed who it was.

"Helga?!" He thundered. "What the heck, I thought someone was after me!"

"Gee Arnoldo, I was just checking to see if you weren't sleep walking." Helga snarled crossly.

"Well look, it's getting dark and who knows where we are at this time of night. So I guess we have to keep moving until we find a spot for the night." Arnold said as the two went off again.

Meanwhile, Mr. Simmons woke up to take a toilet break, but just as he was about to go behind the trees, a motor could be heard and coming towards them were two big headlights. Mr. Simmons couldn't make out the the people driving, but they pulled and there were two Australian men.

"G'Day there mate, we're lost and thought that maybe we can crash here for the night?" The jeep driver asked.

"I don't mind, have you got a tent to set up...uh, mate?" Simmons asked trying to sound Australian.

"Nah, we got our jeep. Night, mate." The passenger replied and both men lied down in the boot of the jeep. But what Mr. Simmons haven't noticed is that they were spies a well-known pirate.

"They're 'ere boss, they're just 30 miles west from your hide out. As soon as one of them return from something and head to sleep, I'll shine the jeeps lights to signal you." said the driver of the jeep.

"Excellent, now we'll get that boy and I'll kill him, kill him with no mercy!" La Sombra chuckled.

Then, gunshots were heard and shouting as well. Everyone woke up and then coming into view were two more jeeps.

“NOW SEE HERE!!!!” Lola roared, having her beauty sleep destroyed by the racket.

As the two more jeeps pulled up, more men shouted, tackled everyone and grabbed a few students. They raved the tents and stole some of there goods. One even took Rhonda's jewels.

"Hey! That's mine." Rhonda thundered. “Give it back!"

"It's mine now." A spine chilling voice said.

There they saw La Sombra with a skull face. “You gringos spies thought you get away huh?” He asked.

“We need to find Arnold. I’ve suddenly got a bad feeling.” Lincoln whimpered.

“We’re on it together, bro.” Luna said.

“Sez me.” Gerald acknowledged.

“Since that boy’s parents were missing, they're tracking me down. Now you're my prisoners." La Sombra announced.

“Only in your dreams!” Lynn roared.

The Loud kids and Gerald retaliated and ran away.

"Hey, get back here!" One of the men shouted in his Australian accent.

"Leave them, they’re cowards, now put these gringos into the jeep and let's get moving." La Sombra demanded.

They did so and drove off. Meanwhile, Arnold and Helga were still wandering through the jungle. Arnold shone a torch onto the map. Helga was scared and worried.

"I hope we're not going to get eaten by maneating cougars." Helga said, shivering.

"It's OK, Helga. There wouldn't be a cougar for miles. Besides you got me by your side." Arnold said happily.

That made Helga smile. Later, they were out of the trees and spotted an old village. It was quiet and empty and there was not a living soul. The vegetable patch was demolished and squashed. But a hut was still up.

"We'll stop here for the night." Arnold said.

"What, I'm not living in some old dump." Helga said, crossly.

"Suit yourself, there could be a cougar lurking about." Arnold smirked.

Helga gulped and she rushed inside the hut. Arnold turned on the light and inside were some things. There were beacons, cages, computers etc.

"I'll see if there are some sheets lying around." Helga said.

"And I'll see if there are any pillows around." Arnold said.

So Arnold and Helga were looking around until the former saw an photograph and there was a picture of a couple with a man with a thick black moustache and a hat. Then he noticed the baby in the picture... It was him, Arnold, when he was born.

"Huh!" Arnold gasped.

"What is it?" Helga asked.

"This picture, it's my parents and their friend Eduardo with me as a baby. Helga, this is their home!" Arnold said.

"Hm, I wondered how you were born with that football head of yours, football-head." Helga chuckled.

Arnold frowned and Helga laughed nervously. "Look. I found some sheets, so we'll be OK for the night, they were in the cupboard and there were pillows there too." Helga said.

Arnold thanked her and soon they went to sleep. As they were sleeping, Arnold could hear someone outside, he got his torch and shone it outside. There coming towards him was Gerald and the rampaging and yelling Loud siblings!

“Gerald?! Guys?!” Arnold asked in surprise.

“Forgive us for our unexpected entrance, football-head dude.” Luna replied.

“We love bowling for buzzards!” Lynn gloated.

"What happened?" Arnold asked.

"There...were men...six of them...Australian ones....skull man...skullll mannnn." Gerald said, running out of non-stop breath.

Helga rushed out and saw Gerald and the Louds as well. Gerald was covered with scratches and bruises from the running and the Louds got the same from the buzzards’ beaks and claws. They took them inside the hut and fed them some water.

"These men just came out of nowhere, they think we're spies because of some boy's parents, they took away everyone." Gerald said.

“We managed to fight some of them back to escape and warn you about the danger you’ve become into.” Lori explained.

"We have to go rescue them!" Helga said.

"No, we can't! The Louds are right. It's too risky and plus we don't know where the skull man have taken them and we don't know where his hideout is." Arnold said.

“But Arnold, they’re our friends, they need us! What should we do?" Gerald asked.

“Yeah, football-head dude! Sam is with them and so are Bobby, Ronnie Anne, Clyde, Darcy, etc.!” Luna yelped, leaving Arnold in panic mode.

"Besides, it's dangerous after dark, like there can be dangerous animals here like lions, tigers and bears." Lana urged.

"I-I-I-I DON'T KNOW!!!" Arnold shouted. “I want to find my parents and now I have to find my friends, what would we do, I don't know where his hideout is and we don't know who this 'skull man' is! And we're just kids, we don't know how strong they'll be!” Arnold said, racing outside to time for himself.

Gerald then came towards. "Arnold, I know why you came here, to find your parents. And you're right about that skull man, you never know what he may have in stores, just like that Scheck character, we never knew that document was not going to be there. But we saved the neighbourhood with help from Murray." said Gerald.

“Good point!” Lisa said.

“Tomorrow, we’ll find your parents!" Gerald shouted.

“We’ll help you on your quest!” Lincoln exclaimed.

“We have flashlights and pepper sprays to protect you.” Lynn said.

The Louds, Arnold, Gerald and even Helga, who was standing from the door, cheered in delight.

Meanwhile, the party drove to the entrance at the volcano, near where Arnold was born. Inside was a throne, treasure and everything else.

“Sir, what would we do with the prisoners?" One of the henchmen asked.

"Throw them into the cell!" La Sombra shouted.

So, the henchmen did that.

“I demand a fair trail!" Phoebe snapped.

“You’ll never take us alive!!!” Clyde roared.

“My lawyers will never forgive you!!!!” Carlino hissed.

“You can’t abuse free rights out of respectable civilians!” Sam spat.

"SHUT UP!!" La Sombra shouted.

There was nothing they could do, they just waited and hoped. The next morning, the sun was shining through a cloudy day. Arnold, Helga, Gerald and the Loud children managed to have something for them for their breakfast and so they went to find Arnold's parents.
