Thousands of years ago, Link had been married and had a son. A few months after his son was born, his mate left them to meet other males. Whether it was the lack of a nursing mother or if he had been born early or small, Link never knew the reason why his son had taken sick and died. The heartbreak of losing his child had driven Link out of his tribe, which probably saved him in the long run; he had been frozen in ice, the tribe had long died. In those days, his people did not have names, but now he referred to his son as Finnigan and his mate as "the back-stabbing hag."
Now Link had a second chance to be a father.
It was strange to think how he had ended up marrying Stella; he had seen all the horror movies where vampires bite and drink your blood and turn you into one of them (A.N. I thought Link might be scared of vampires by the way he reacted to the zombies in the episode "It Came from Level Z"). But Stella was nice and pretty and musical and liked video-games and kids; in fact Sqweep had been the one to tell Link that Stella liked him after another failed attempt at flirting with Sta'abi. The vampress and the little alien had struck an immediate friendship.
So Link had given the vampress a chance; and fell in love with her; and married her; and now they were expecting their first baby. Only, it was past Stella's due date...long past, and the couple was starting to worry. Luna said she would give Stella an ultra-sound to make sure everything was okay.
It wasn't. The baby was not moving at all, and there was no heartbeat. Luna induced labor to get the baby out of her friend. When it was out, Luna did everything she could to clear its air-passageways and wake it up, but nothing helped. Link held his second son in his arms; the little boy looked like him, with darker, grayer colors and wing-flaps coming from his arms like a bat. And the parents refused to let go of the body for burial until the next day.
Stella had not told anybody, but during the last two months of her pregnancy she had heard a strange yet familiar voice in her head. She could not remember where she had heard it before, yet she knew it was a voice she could never forget. The voice would tell her to come, and to bring her baby with her. Up until now she had ignored it, thinking her hormones or stress were playing tricks on her mind. But tonight, lying on the raft she slept on in Link's tank and holding her stillborn's body, some instinct told her maybe the voice could bring her son to life. Moving slowly to keep from waking Link, she carried the baby out of Area Fifty-Something.
The next day, the world shivered in horror as vampires came out of the woodworks, swarming to a space ship which had arisen out the ground in the North Pole. General Monger sent every available monster to investigate and stop any invasion plans. Sneaking onto the ship, Team Monster shuddered when they passed a window and saw the room was full of baby vampires, most of which were contorted into gremlin-looking things. They did not notice the baby that looked like Link, which saw them out the window and managed to find a way out of the room.
Stella had been captured by Strigoi, an alien vampire who had crashed on Earth thousands of years ago. He had been the one to bite Stella and turn her into a vampire, and he was disappointed that she had kept her humanity. Catching the failed vampress in a capsule, he extracted the virus which transformed her, leaving her a pale human with fangs. Strigoi commanded a lackey to take Stella to the babies' room...as a snack for the recently revived infants. Strigoi had been the one to telepathically summon all the vampires on Earth and bring their stillborn babies to life, using electricity a la Frankenstein.
Team Monster managed to knock out Stella's escort. Stella bit her wrist, which managed to give her back some of her powers. In the control room, they found a weapon that would cause an imitation supernova as a means of destroying the ship and any vampires on it. Dr. Cockroach set the weapon just as Stella and Link's son caught up to the monsters. The baby hissed hungrily until his daddy gave him a fish which had been wedged in his scales at breakfast that morning.
As the monsters tried to escape, Strigoi attacked them. Stella beat the vampire back into the ship, and did not come out again before it exploded. Strigoi's death caused all the vampires he had ever bitten to disintegrate, as well as the vampires they had bitten. There seemed to be no surviving vampires except Link's son, Sander.
