It was the climax of the battle between Alex Mercer and Sergeant James Heller. Near him, Alex had two of his personal slaves, two Evolved named Michael O'Connell and James Braun. Heller was gaining the upper hand on Mercer and needed help.
"Get over here now! I need your help!" Mercer demanded. Michael and James went over to try and help Mercer, but it was too late. Heller consumed Mercer and he was no more. James and Michael stared at Heller.
"We're free, we're finally free!" James said happily.
"Thank you. You have no idea of the things Mercer forced us to do." Michael said. Heller looked at the two of them and nodded.
"Yeah, don't mention it. Bastard deserved to die." Heller said. With that, Heller took his leave, and Michael and James wondered what they were going to do with their newfound freedom, as they were slaves of Mercer's for most of their lives.
"Maybe we can finally live normal lives." James said. Michael nodded.
"Even so, I don't think New York Zero is a good place to live." He said. James nodded. The blacklight infection was spending at an alarming rate, and a lot of New York's residents were infected.
"Where would we go?" James asked. Michael thought for a second.
"Well, maybe we could go to Europe. Lot's of places to live there, and the virus probably doesn't exist there." Michael suggested. James nodded in agreement, but first, they had to figure out how to get out of New York Zero, as it was under a constant state of lockdown by Blackwatch.
"How are we going to get out of New York Zero? Blackwatch is always watching the borders." James asked. Michael took a bit to think of a plan and thought of one.
"Well, there are underground tunnels that run under New York Zero and I heard some of the tunnels run out of state. That's our ticket out." He said. James nodded, and with that, the two friends made their way to one of the manhole covers that concealed the entrance to these tunnels and went into the tunnels. The two traveled for what seemed like hours in the tunnels until they came to another manhole that exited into New Jersey. New Jersey was free of the virus and James and Michael were easily able to blend in with the human population. The two made their way to Newark Liberty International Airport and got on a plane headed for Romania. After a few days, the plane landed at an airport in Romania. Michael and James got off the plane and went into the town that was nearby. They heard from the townsfolk that there was a hotel nearby and they decided to check it out.
James and Michael made it to the hotel and took a look at it. It was huge and it was old. Outside there was a sign which read 'Hotel Transylvania'.
"Hmm, this looks like a nice place." James said about to walk in, until Michael stopped him.
"Wait, I think we should disguise ourselves, just to be safe." He said.
"But we'd have to consume something wouldn't we?" James asked.
"Actually, I had something else in mind." Michael said activating his armor power. The armor made him look like a monster.
"Good thinking." James said activating his armor power as well. The two then walked into the hotel and noticed there were a whole bunch of monsters and no humans. This made the two think it was a good idea that they disguised themselves with their armor power. Before too long, they were approached by a tall male vampire.
"Welcome to Hotel Transylvania! Where monsters can be themselves and no humans are allowed. I am Count Dracula, the owner of this establishment." The male vampire said. Hearing that made James and Michael happy that they disguised themselves.
"I'm James Braun, but you can call me Jimmy." Jimmy introduced. "This is my best friend Michael O'Connell." Michael nodded at Drac.
"Call me Mike." He added. Drac nodded at the two of them.
"What kind of monsters are you? I don't think I've ever seen monsters like you before." He asked. Jimmy quickly thought of something to say so their cover wouldn't be blown.
"Oh, we're umm… evolved!" Jimmy said. It was the best he could think of.
"Interesting. And what kind of monsters are evolved?" Drac asked.
"Oh, we're a new type of monster." Jimmy said. Nearby, there was a family with a vampire male and werewolf female. The vampire was holding a little werewolf/vampire boy in his arms and the werewolf was holding a little werewolf/vampire girl in her arms. The girl had a pacifier in her mouth that was pink and had a white heart symbol on it. Near them, was another little werewolf/vampire boy. He was dressed in a long sleeve black shirt with a skull and cross-bone symbol on it. He wore a spiked dark red collar with a gold pendent that had a spider web symbol. He too had a pacifier in his mouth, only his was red and had a white skull and cross-bone symbol on it. The second boy and girl looked like they were around 2 years old and the first boy looked like he was only a couple months old. Then, the little boy walked over to Jimmy and looked up at him. Jimmy noticed the little werewolf boy and looked down at him.
"Hey there little guy. Aren't you a cutie?" Jimmy said. The boy smiled at him through his binky. What he did next though, surprised Jimmy. He raised his arms up at him.
"You want me to hold you?" Jimmy asked. The boy nodded at him.
"Okay." Jimmy said bending down to pick up the boy. Jimmy held the werewolf boy in his arms.
"You're a good boy, aren't you?" Jimmy said. The boy giggled at him and Jimmy smiled. Then, the boy's mother came over to Jimmy.
"Come on Crash." She said trying to take him. Crash refused to go with his mother.
"No! Stay!" Crash said through his binky. Crash's mom knew better than to try and take Crash when he talked like that.
"That's your name? Crash?" Jimmy asked. Crash nodded at him.
"Well, I'm Jimmy." He introduced. Crash nodded at him in response. His mom looked at Jimmy.
"Wow, he really likes you. Crash doesn't usually warm up to strangers that quickly." She said. Jimmy nodded.
"Oh, I'm Jimmy by the way." He said introducing himself. She nodded.
"I'm Judith. That little girl is my daughter Jensine and the man is my husband Alan. Oh, and the one he's holding is our youngest, Connor." She said. Jimmy nodded.
"A pleasure to meet you." Jimmy said. He then looked at Crash and then looked over at Crash's sister Jen.
"They look a lot alike." Jimmy said. Judith nodded.
"Crash and Jen are twins. Crash was born 5 minutes before his sister." She said. Jimmy nodded in response and Mike turned his attention to Drac.
"So, we were wondering if you had any rooms we could stay in." He asked. Drac nodded.
"Of course, let me show you to your rooms." He said. With that, Jimmy tried to give Crash back to Judith, but Crash didn't want to go.
"No! Stay with you!" He said. Jimmy shook his head.
"Sorry little buddy, but you can't come with me." He said. Crash started crying because of what Jimmy said and he felt a little guilty. Then, he thought of something to cheer his little buddy up.
"Tell you what. I'll come find you later and we can spend some more time together, okay?" He said. Hearing that, Crash stopped crying and his ears perked up.
"Okay!" Crash said in excitement. With that, Jimmy gave Crash back to his mom and followed Drac and Mike up a flight of stairs. They came to a long hallway and Drac stopped at one of the doors.
"Jimmy, this will be your room." Drac said opening the door. Jimmy took a look inside. The room was huge!
"Oh yeah, this will do nicely." He said.
"Good, Mike, if you'll come with me." Drac said leading Mike to the room next door. Jimmy stepped inside his room. It had a full size bed, a TV, and a dresser and closet. Jimmy decided to take a look in the closet and dresser to see if there were any clothes he could wear. Sure enough, there was. Jimmy pulled out a black t-shirt from the closet and pair of blue jeans with white sneakers out of the dresser. Jimmy then deactivated his armor power so he could put on his new clothes. After he did that, Jimmy walked over to a nearby mirror and looked at himself.
"Much better." He said, as they were better than the clothes Mercer had given him. Then, he heard a knock at the door. Jimmy went over to it and answered it. It was Mike.
"Hey." Jimmy greeted. Mike gave him an annoyed look.
"Why is your armor power not active? Drac can't find out we have human forms!" He said.
"Oh, I was just changing my clothes." Jimmy said. He then reactivated his armor power.
"Good, don't let that happen again." Mike said. Jimmy nodded.
"I won't." He said. The two of them then started walking down the hallway toward the lobby.
"I think this could be a good home for us, don't you?" Mike asked. Jimmy nodded.
"Yeah, long as Drac doesn't find out about our human forms." He replied. The two made it back to the lobby of the hotel. They noticed Drac was standing by the entrance like he was waiting for something. Mike made his way over to them, while Jimmy walked back over to Judith and Alan, as Jimmy remembered he told Crash he would spend more time with him.
"Oh good, you're back. Crash has been waiting for you." Alan said while he was holding his oldest son. Jimmy nodded and Crash held his arms out to Jimmy.
"Jim Jim!" Crash said in excitement. Jimmy smiled at the nickname Crash gave him and took Crash into his arms.
"Hey there little buddy." Jimmy said. Jimmy then walked over to Mike and Drac.
"Waiting for something Dracula?" Jimmy asked. Drac looked at him and nodded.
"Yes, it's my daughter's 118th birthday and I've invited all my friends to celebrate. Frankenstein and his wife, Murray the mummy, the invisible man, and the werewolf family." As Drac said that last part, Crash got really excited.
"Winnie coming, Winnie coming!" He said in a happy tone. Jimmy looked at Crash, wondering who he was talking about.
"Winnie? Who's Winnie?" Jimmy asked.
"She's Wayne and Wanda's daughter." Drac explained. "She's Crash's best friend, and the two of them love playing together."
"Oh, I see." Jimmy said. Right after he said that, the zombie bellhops came in carrying two boxes. The boxes were opened, and inside were Frank and his wife Eunice, in pieces. The boxes were emptied and the bellhops put Frank and his wife together.
"Dracula! What's up my man?" Frank said after he was put together.
"Frank! It's good to see you." Drac replied. Right after Drac said that, a mummy and a pair of floating glasses came in.
"The Murray is in the house!" The mummy said.
"What's up Drac?" The floating glasses said.
"Murray, Griffin, glad you could make it." Drac said. Murray noticed Jimmy and Mike.
"Hey, who are the funny looking dudes?" He asked.
"My name is James Braun, but you can call me Jimmy." Jimmy introduced. "This is my best friend Michael O'Connell."
"Call me Mike." Mike added. Murray nodded at the two of them and minutes later they all felt a rumble.
"What was that?" Mike asked. Drac sighed in annoyance.
"Here they come." He said to himself. Minutes later, a whole bunch of werewolf pups stormed in and started causing chaos and mayhem. After that, a grown werewolf man and woman walked in. The woman was holding a little werewolf girl in her arms. She was wearing a long sleeve pink shirt with a skull and cross bone image on it. She was also wearing a brown studded collar with a gold pendant on it that had a circle-a symbol on it. Like Crash, she had a pacifier in her mouth, only hers was pink and had a skull and cross bone symbol on it. The girl looked like she was around Crash's age.
"Come on kids. You're only supposed to make Mom and Dad miserable." The werewolf man said. Crash noticed the little werewolf girl and pointed to her.
"Take me there!" Crash told Jimmy. Jimmy nodded in response and walked over to the werewolf man and woman. Crash then took his binky out of his mouth and gave it to Jimmy so he could speak.
"Winnie!" Crash said. Winnie looked at Crash and took her binky out of her mouth so she could reply.
"Crash! It's good to see you." She said. She noticed Jimmy.
"Who's the one holding you?" She asked.
"Jim Jim. He my new friend." He said. Jimmy looked at Winnie.
"Actually, my name is James Braun. But you can call me Jimmy." He said. Winnie nodded and Drac walked over to the werewolf man and woman.
"Wayne, joyful as ever I see." He said.
"Yeah right." Wayne scoffed. Drac turned his attention to the werewolf woman.
"Wanda, you look good." He commented.
"Thanks." She replied. Drac then walked around, greeting everybody else. He noticed somebody else was coming in. It was a human with orange hair and a large backpack. Drac then had a flashback to when his wife Martha was killed in a fire that was started by humans. Drac rushed over to the human and took him into a nearby utility closet. He gave the human a stern look.
He couldn't believe that a human stepped foot in Hotel Transylvania, the refuge he had built for monsters.
