Hey guys. As a disclaimer, I don't own anything belonging to Grojband except the OCs and Peaceville's original name in this fanfic.
(Author's Note.) Much of this fanfic will have been inspired by the Adventure Time Miniseries, "Stakes". So just to clear things up, I don't own anything related to Adventure Time either.


The Ancestors


The episode starts with Mayor Mellow standing in the town square supervising the townspeople who are decorating the place with monster-themed decorations.

"Hello, Peaceville!" the mayor announced to the town. "Coming soon is the anniversary of our beloved town's victory in the Great Monster War, or as we like to call it, the Monster Victory Festival! That's right, the day when our ancestors fought off and vanquished the dreaded monsters that tried to destroy our town and make us forever wear a frown."

A series of pictures were shown of monsters attacking a village, monsters fighting a group of warriors, and a wizard banishing monsters through a magic portal.

"So come on down if you want to celebrate your ancestor's victory in the Great Monster War!"

The view panned out to reveal that the mayor was being shown on television in the Groj, with Kin, Kon, and Laney watching him from the couch.

"Can you believe the festival is in three days?!" Kon said with excitement.

"I know, I love the Monster Victory Festival!" Kin replied just as excited as his twin brother.

The two brothers have been excited about the Monster Victory Festival for a long time. They had known about its history and its origins ever since the day they were born. The two then jumped off the couch and proceeded to do a happy duet dance with each other that involved circling each other with their arms wrapped around each other.

"I hate to interrupt," Laney said getting the twins' attention. "But what exactly is the Great Monster War?" she then asked, for she was never really told about the Monster Victory Festival like the twins were.

"What is the Great Monster War?!" Kin fired Laney's question back in disbelief.

"How do you not know about the Great Monster War?!" Kon asked shocked.

"Kon, I think it's time to give a history lesson." Kin told his twin.

"Indeed, Kin." Kon replied popping up right next to him.

The Kujira Twins put their hands together in the same style as they do when they tell Rock Lore.


Story, Kin and Kon's POV:

Kin: "Peaceville was a small village called Harmonopolis when it first began, and all was going fine at the start."

A small village is shown surrounded by forest. the people strongly resembled people in Peaceville today.

Kon: "But there was a problem. You see, the forests surrounding Harmonopolis were populated with various monsters that walked these lands long before the first settlers."

The forest was shown with silhouettes of different monsters peeking out from behind the trees.

Kin: "And they believed that since the soil our town stands on was theirs from the start, they decided to make our ancestors follow their laws instead of letting them make their own."

Kon: "With the most powerful monster clan of all, the vampires, leading them."

Silhouettes shaped like humans with pointy ears appeared among the silhouettes of the other monsters.

Kin: "The vampires served as the generals of the combined forces of the monster clans and proved more than a match for the warriors of Harmonopolis."

The silhouette of a vampire pointing to the village with the other monsters charging in toward it, where they effectively avoided the sword swings and arrow shots of the human soldiers and slashing them down.

Kon: "And just when all hope seemed lost for the villagers, a group of four unexpected heroes showed up and slaughtered the invading monsters, turning the tide of the war in the humans' favor."

The villagers were surrounded by various monsters in the town square. A werewolf attempted to pounce on them and finish them off. Suddenly, an arrow came out of nowhere and struck the werewolf in the chest while it was in midair and caused it to fall to the ground. The arrow burned the werewolf as it was made of silver and the werewolf howled in pain from it. Both the villagers and monsters turned in the direction the arrow came from and saw four people standing at the gates of town. One was a skinny boy with pale skin, short black hair, and thick, black, circular glasses. He also seemed to have three front teeth sticking out of his mouth. he wore a black tunic with three laces holding the front of the collar together, brown pants, and brown boots. Another was a large boy with spiky black hair with a green headband around his forehead. He wore the same outfit as the skinny one. The third was a short, slim girl with bobbed red hair going down just below the chin. she wore a white and red type of shirt underneath a red jacket with fur on it, black pants, and long boots with high heels on them. In her hand was a bow and on her back was a quiver full of more silver arrows, meaning she was the one who fired the arrow in the first place. The fourth, most likely their leader, was a boy with white skin and blue hair. He wore a long, gray trench coat over a black vest with a crucifix with a circular ruby on it around his neck, black pants, black boots, black gloves, and a gray fedora on his head. In his hand, he held a silver longsword, ready to do battle with the monsters alongside his comrades. The monsters instinctively charged at the newcomers in a blind rage for what happened to the werewolf, only to be slashed by the leader's sword, struck by the girl's arrows, and impaled by silver stakes from the other two boys.

Kin: "The four monster slayers really made a difference by attacking the source of the monsters' strength, the vampires that led them."

The leader of the monster slayers slashed the silhouette of a vampire.

Kon: "One by one, the vampires fell, leaving the other monsters with no one to give them strategies for their battles, making things easier for the village warriors and wizards to bring them down or banish them to another dimension."

Monsters were shown being slashed apart by swords or pushed through a magic portal by a blast of magic energy.

End of Story.


"In the end, the monsters were defeated, with the majority of their forces imprisoned in the NetherRealm." Kin finished the story.

"So, the Monster Victory Festival is to celebrate us not being enslaved by monsters?" Laney asked, having understood the story.

"Yep, that's pretty much it." Kin shrugged smiling.

"And Harmonolpolis was renamed Peaceville as a result?" Laney then asked.

"No, that happened for some other reason sometime afterwards." Kon corrected.

The door at the corner of the stairs suddenly swung open and Corey came in holding an old-looking book under his arm. "Hey guys, you won't believe this. I was cleaning more of the attic and found this book, and it looks much older than the one from my great grandfather's time." he held out the book for his bandmates to see.

"Oooh, open it!" the twins beckoned excitedly.

Corey plopped down on the couch and opened the book to the first page. On the page appeared to be a picture of four people who strongly resembled them, only they were wearing nineteenth century clothing.

"Hey, it's our ancestors, Jin and Jon!" Kin cried happily pointing to the two people that resembled him and his brother.

"And they look just as identical as we do!" Kon commented.

Laney looked at the girl in the picture and instantly recognized her. "That's my ancestor, Lina Penn. My parents told me all about her."

Corey looked at the last person in the middle. "And this must be my ancestor, Caesar Van Helsing Riffin."

"Your ancestor is related to Van Helsing?" Laney said confused.

"No, from what I heard from dad, my ancestor changed his middle name to Van Helsing for some weird reason." Corey replied.

"Oh." Laney said understanding.

Kin took a look at the picture and saw the crucifix around Caesar's neck, making his eyes grow wide with shock. "Guys, I know that cross." he told his friends and brother. "It's the same one that the leader of the four monster slayers wore in the war!"

Kon took a look at the cross and realized that Kin was right. "Woah, you're right. I was under the impression that our ancestors knew the slayers, but after seeing that, and realizing that they're wearing the same attires as the slayers, I'm starting to think that our ancestors didn't meet the slayers..."

"Our ancestors WERE the slayers!" the twins finished in unison.

"Woah. I know my parents said Lina was famous for something, but I never imagined it would be this." Laney said in awe of what her ancestor is known for.

Corey put the book down on the table and jumped onto the stage. "Guys, I'm starting to think that this is a sign, a sign that Grojband should sing at the Monster Victory Festival in order to honor our ancestors for the heroic things they did for this town."

"Honor? More like dishonor!" came a new voice. Everyone turned to see it was Trina up on the balcony of the Groj giving the band a scowl.

"You would know a lot about dishonoring family, Trina, considering you do it every day when you try to ruin my band and my life." Corey shot back with a smirk, earning a growl from his twisted evil sister.

"Ignore her, Core." Laney said coming next to him. "She's just mad because you're the Riffin who takes after most of your family's ancestors instead of her." she then said mockingly to get on Trina's nerves.

"I am not!" Trina shot back. "Like I would want to have ties with this bloodline of losers and junk."

Kin picked up the book, ignoring Trina's insults, and looked through its pages some more. When he stopped at an unknown page, his eyes widened. "Hey guys, take a look at this!" he called to the others.

Corey, Laney, and Kon came to take a look at what Kin found in the book. What they saw was a picture of a women wearing a blue hooded dress robe that went down to her ankles and was decked with sapphires and dark blue shoes. In her hand was a staff topped with a crescent moon shaped headpiece and a jewel suspended inside it. But what shocked Grojband the most was the fact that she looked exactly like Mina, with the same teal-colored hairstyle and cat-eyed spectacles.

"Woah, is that one of Mina's ancestors?" Corey asked in awe.

"Of course, Mina's ancestor was the great Belladonna! The sorceress responsible for banishing most of the monsters during the war!" Kon said feeling starstruck.

"I was wondering who left all those beakers and vials in our basement." Mina said suddenly popping up next to Trina.

"I guess even Mina has a heroic ancestor." Corey said impressed. "And it's nice to see where she gets her good looks from."

Mina giggled as her cheeks blushed in response to Corey's flattering comment, which made Trina growl in anger at her 'friend' for laughing at anything her brother has to say.

"Mina, stop laughing at Corey's comments!" she shouted angrily to Mina, who sank down to the ground feeling meek.

"Sorry, Trina."

"Clearly Mina didn't inherit the courage this book says her ancestor is known for." Laney rolled her eyes, unimpressed with how the mighty have fallen over the generations.

"Well, you can't expect to gain everything from your ancestors." Corey shrugged as he flipped through the pages of the book, until he stopped at one and gasped in shock at what he saw. "Guys, I think you should see this."

The four Grojbandians all looked at the page and gasped in shock, for on the page was a picture of five people dressed differently from each other. One was a girl dressed as an Arabian belly-dancer wearing a dark red tube top with loops on her arms, allowing her figure to be shown, with matching pants and shoes. Her hair was black and in a ponytail held by a light red hairband and two fangs poked out of her mouth. A unique feature about her was that she had four arms instead of two. The second was a man with a muscular build and a gray mustache. He wore a formal red coat laced with gold coins, beige pants, black shoes, and a large powdered wig in the shape of a heart. Like the girl, the man had two long sharp fangs poking out of his mouth. He also had long curved horns sticking out of his forehead. The third was a women with pale skin, short, dark black hair, and green eyes, who was dressed in a fancy crimson ball gown with matching red shoes and a golden crown. Like the others, she too had fangs poking out of her mouth, which was applied with blood red lipstick. The unique feature about her was that her hands were red with black claws. The fourth could only be described as a silhouette in the shape of a man with pointy ears, spiky hair, and soulless red eyes. But the final one was the one that scared them the most. It was a girl with a tall, slim figure and wore a slightly revealing purple dress and purple knee high boots. She also had antler-like horns on her head with a crown that looked to be made of branches attached to them by the ends, two large feathery wings, and a long, reptilian tail with feathers at the tip. But what made this person more frightening to the kids was the fact that she looked a lot like Trina, only with her hair being black instead of pink and having two fangs sticking out of her mouth.

"These guys are vampires!" Kon cried in fright.

"Not just any vampires." Kin said sounding just as frightened. "These must be the five vampires of the Royal Court!"

"Royal Court?" Laney asked, completely confused since Kin and Kon never mentioned them in the story.

"They were the most feared and powerful of the entire vampire clan!" Kin exclaimed in terror. "They are known as the Dancer, the Duke, the Aristocrat, the Shadow, and the most feared one of all..."

"Don't say it!" Kon beckoned with fright. He knew the identity of this vampire from their mom and found her to be the most terrifying one of them all. So much, that the mere mention of her name made him wet his pants.

"...The Vampire Queen!" Lightning flashed behind Kin after saying the name.

"I told you not to say it!" Kon cried hugging himself in terror.

"What made them so frightening?" Corey asked out of sheer curiosity.

"Legend states that unlike most vampires, whose bodies disintegrate when you kill them, the vampires of the Royal Court didn't stay dead because their souls stayed around and reformed their bodies if left unchecked." Kon explained.

"But fortunately, Caesar already had a means of taking care of that problem." Kin said, his fear having left. He took the book from Corey and flipped the pages back to the picture of their ancestors where he pointed to the crucifix around Caesar's neck. "This cross had special powers that allowed Caesar to imprison the vampires' souls within it."

"Legend also says that the cross didn't just imprison the vampires' souls, but also gave the wearer access to their main powers so long as you wear it." Kon joined in, having heard this story from mom and dad.

"Wow." Corey said in awe. He took the book and looked at his ancestor striking a heroic pose. The frontman smiled at this, feeling proud of what Caesar had done for the good of the town. He then turned to the page with the picture of the vampire Royal Court, for which he bore a slightly frightened expression. He then tuned the page to see written paragraphs which made him give a surprised expression.

"Guys, look at this." he showed his friends the page. "I think these are log dates."

"No way, these must tell of our ancestors' time in the war and how they defeated the vampires!" Kin cried in joy, excited to be able to finally see how the vampire Royal Court was defeated from their ancestors point of view.

"Well then, let's look into it." Corey insisted, with Laney nodding in support because she wanted to know what her ancestor was like in the old days.

The four kids all plopped down on the couch and Corey began to read the book, getting ready to know how the war really went from his ancestor's point of view and what he did to ensure the salvation of the town known at the time as Harmolopolis.
