In the forest of Manitoba, a young girl is running through the dark woods in fear. She was running away from something that was chasing her, but she fell down on the rough ground. She looked behind her but all she saw was dark brush and broken branches, but then she saw those yellow glowing eyes glaring at her. She quickly took out a U-Watch from her pocket and pressed a button to open a portal. Before the creature could attack she dashed for the bush where the portal had opened and she made it through. When the creature jumped in the bush she was gone, and the creature gave a loud howl in the moonlight.
The next day at Torrington Academy Diana was in her room studying for their next Biology test next week, and it depended on her grade and score. But Martin came to see if she wanted to play in the new gaming room they had just opened, and he came into her room.
"Hey Di, you wanna go check out the new gaming room? They have the new Space Mutants game!" said Martin.
"Sorry but I got to study for the test next week!" said Diana who was reading 3 books at the same time.
"Lame old sis, come on you have to do something fun at least once a month." said Martin who took away one of her books.
"Hey give me that back!" said Diana who was chasing him for her text book, but then his U-Watch started to beep.
"It's the Center!" said Martin as he look at the watch and it was pointing at Diana's closet, then Java came in.
"It's coming from Diana's closet!" said Martin as he opened the door and then walked in, so did Java and Diana.
Once they got on the moving platform the laser scanned all of them to identify each of them, then they put their palms on the scanner and it started to identify them.
"Martin Mystery-Clear, Diana Lombard-Clear, Java the Caveman-Clear" said the Scanner, then Billy joined them on their way to M.O.M's head office.
"Hey gang!" said Billy as he did his secret hand shake with Martin, which annoyed Diana.
They went into the elevator which took them to the head office. Once they entered M.O.M's office she was testing a new hover board, which also caught Martin's eyes.
"Hey M.O.M can I?" said Martin, but M.O.M just looked at him.
"No." she simply said, as she landed the hover board and went to the seat at her desk and put the Hover Board away.
"So what's the mission M.O.M?" asked Diana.
"There was a distress signal from one of our U-Watches in Manitoba's Boreal forest, and there was also a strange sighting of a creature." said M.O.M as her hologram computer screen showed the team where the forest was.
"Cool! It maybe the new species of a Beaver race!" said Martin, already jumping to conclusions, with Diana glaring at him.
"So what's the big deal with the U-Watch? Was one of the Agents sent there?" asked Diana.
"Not since our last Agent that was sent there, and never returned for over 5 years. The U-Watch was never used or heard from until now and the distress signal came from it." said M.O.M.
"So you want us to check it out?" ask Martin.
"Exactly." said M.O.M.
"Billy will show you the way." said M.O.M.
"Right this way." said Billy, as a portal door opened and the gang went inside to investigate in Manitoba's Boreal forest
In the boreal forest the gang walked through the forest in search for the missing U-Watch and the creature that was spotted there. They came upon a creek and they stopped to take a break from their 3 hour walk
"Man if I knew it was this big we could have taken one of the Center's jeeps" said Diana, who was sitting on the log.
"But this is great! The smell of the fresh air and the sounds of nature's critters, and not to mention the lovely bug in your hair Di." said Martin as he was standing on top of the log where Diana jumped up and screamed, and was running around trying to get the bug out.
"Java smell smoke." said Java as he was still smelling the air, then Martin and Diana started to smell it also.
"Hey your right Java, but where is it coming from?" said Diana, as she continued to smell the air.
"I see it, it's coming from the north." said Martin as he was smelling the air from the top of the log, and noticed where the breeze was coming from.
They contined to walk towards north where they found their first clue in the case. There were a few set-backs such as blocked paths and creeks they had to cross.
"This is fun, spending my Saturday hiking in the boreal forest." said Diana as she was trying to cross the river by walking on a log brigde which Java made.
"Think of this as a survival of the fittest." said Martim with a laugh, then Diana pushed him from the log.
"Are you saying that I am weak?" asked Diana.
"Yeah kind of because you asked Java to open your nail polish again" said Martin, as Java fished him out from the river.
"Why did they even invent Step-Brothers?" said Diana as she walked away.
They reached the part of the forest where they first smelled the smoke, but when they got there whoever was there was gone, The camp fire was recently put out.
"Well who ever was here is long gone." said Diana as she looked at the burnt out camp fire.
But Martin was looking around the area and noticed some hair on a branch and took some samples, then Diana and Java joined in.
"What's that? Hair of some sort?" asked Diana.
"It looks like it?" said Martin as he used his U-Watch to get the Bio-Scan to scan the hair. "I'll send it to Billy for Analysis."
Then they heard a howl in the distance, but it sounded close, which the gang was aware of. Martin used his U-Watch for the Alpha Goggles. Once he got them he used it to see around the area.
"There is nothing out there.." said Martin.
"That's weird.." said Diana.
"Java no like mystery howls.." said Java.
"We better get back to the Center." said Martin, as he called out for Billy on the U-Watch.
But they didn't notice that someone was watching close by, hiding behined a tree. She watched as the Gang stepped back into the portal and closed.
"So this U-Watch can be used as a portal? To anywhere... I better use it one more time to get away from this beast" said The Girl. She uses her own U-Watch one more time for another portal.
The next day at Torrington, Martin was playing games in his dorm room as Diana came bursting in with a huge smile on her face.
"Martin guess what!" said Diana, in Martin's face.
"You transferred to another school?" said Martin.
"You wish! Marvin is back in school!" said Diana with hearts in the background.
"Marvin!" said Martin who look grossed out at the thought that his mortal enemy was back to his school
"There was also some new students, but I don' t know about the new girl." said Diana.
"THERE'S A NEW GIRL IN SCHOOL?" ask Martin as he went to get new clean clothes on.
"Yeah I think she moved here while we were on our mission, and I only saw her once in the library." said Diana.
"Oh Mystery girl for Martin Mystery." said Martin as he just finished putting on new pairs of socks.
"You wish, but I think her name is Rose." said Diana.
"Rose? Aww it sounds sweet." said Martin, with hearts in his eyes.
Then Jenny came in looking for Diana, "Diana there you are, I was looking every here for you. Come on. Marvin is waiting for us." said Jenny.
"Oh yeah I forgot to tell you, Marvin is taking us for a ride." said Diana.
"Have fun and please don't come back with him." said Martin.
"Are you still jealous of him Martin?" asked Jenny.
"No, why should I have the be the one who is jealous? He should be jealous of me." said Martin.
"Come one Jenny" said Diana, they both exit the room and Martin looked out the window and saw Marvin waiting for Diana and Jenny.
"Oh crap, I forgot to ask Di where the new girl was." said Martin as he look depressed.
Then he heard a guitar being played, he looked out of his room and followed the music. Then he stopped at a door which had the same alien stickers as his door. He knocked at the door and the guitar was still being played, so he opened the door and peeked in. His eyes sprakled as he saw the new Girl, Janice, playing the guitar. After she was done playing she noticed him.
"Ah..hey." said Martin as he looked nervous.
"Don't they knock anymore?" said Rose as she looked embrassed because someone watched her play the guitar.
"Sorry about that! Um, your new here am I right?" said Martin as he let himself in, and looked around the room.
"And you are?" asked Rose, as she put on her red-hooded zipper sweater.
"Oh the name's Martin, Martin Mystery!" said Martin as he tried to impress her.
"Nice to meet you then..I guess." said Rose.
Then Martin noticed all the hand drawings on her wall and over her desk. He went over to see them.
"Did you draw all this?" he asked as he picked one drawing up.
"Uh yes, these are all mine. They're drawings for a comic book that I am working on." said Rose as she took out her profile and showed him some of the comic book pages.
"These are totally cool." said Martin. "You should get them published."
"I would but... I'm having trouble on creating the monsters and aliens.." said Rose as she put the profile away. When she looked at him again she noticed the green watch on his wrist.
"Hey would you like me to show you around the school?" asked Martin.
"Sure, I didn't get a chance to get a tour of this school." said Rose.
"So where are you from?" ask Martin.
"Oh I came from Manitoba" said Rose.
"Manitoba? I went there yesterday." said Martin.
"Uh, what where you doing there yesterday if you go to school here?" asked Rose, who look curious.
"Um...I was ..um.. Hey look it's Java!" said Martin, as he pointed at Java who was sweeping the floor.
"Hi Martin." said Java who stopped sweeping the floor.
"Hey Jav, this is my new friend Rose." said Martin.
"Hey Java, nice to meet you." said Rose, then Java picked her up and gave her a big hug.
"Easy Java, she's a girl remember." said Martin with a smile. Java then put her down gently.
"But isn't he a... caveman?" asked Rose who was poking Java's arm.
"Well um.." Martin mumbled.
"I'm from up north." said Java
"Okay fine with me." said Rose.
"Hey let me show you the game room!" said Martin.
"There is such a place here? You can't belive how long it's been since I last played a video game." screamed Rose. She grabbed Martin by the arm and started to run with him.
"See ya Java!" Martin said as Rose kept on running. "Take the left hall and the 4th door on the right.' Martin told her.
But later on in the day, the sun was setting and the moon was glowing. The rest of the students were ready to go to sleep, but Martin was up in his room reading the latest Monster comic book. But then he heard a howling close by... He got up from his bed and turned off the lights and peeked out the window. Then there was a knock on the door, the door opened and in came Diana.
"Martin did you hear that?" asked Diana, who joined him in looking out the window.
"Yeah, it almost sounds like the same howl from the Boreal Forest." said Martin, as they continued to look out the window.
Then out of nowhere Billy appeared, scaring the daylights out of Diana and Martin.
"Billy! What are you doing here?" asked Martin.
"M.O.M wants to see you guys, it's about the sample you gave to us." said Billy, as he was about to open the portal to The Center.
"Okay just give us a second to get dressed and get Java." said Martin.
"Right! You get Java and I'll go get dressed" said Diana as she left the room to go back to her own room.
Martin quickly put on his favourite clothes and asked Billy to wait for him while he went to get Java. But Rose was also up, and heard the howling in the night. She peeked outside her door and saw Martin and Java passing by. She then followed behind.
"We're back." said Martin, and Diana was already in the room
Then Billy open the portal to The Center. They all entered in at the same time and Rose was watching from the door, but once the portal closed, Rose dropped to the floor in pain.
"oh no...not now..." she thought, as she got up and started to run back to her dorm room, but Marvin saw her as she passed his dorm room, and he was suspicious of her.
Meanwhile at the Center, M.O.M was talking to her 3 favourite agents
"Couldn't this have waited until morning?" asked Martin as he started to yawn, chibi style
"No, this is much more serious that I thought." M.O.M said in a certern tone of voice.
"What is it M.O.M?" asked Diana.
"It happens that the sample you gave used to belong to a werewolf that escaped from here 5 years ago." said M.O.M.
"We use to have a werewolf in here and you didn't even tell me?" Martin said in a unhappy way.
"Now listen, we have to catch this werewolf soon before he decides to pick a mate!" said M.O.M, "because if he does there will be a huge problem."
"A mate? You mean as in to have more little pups?" asked Martin.
"I'm afraid so, because 10 years ago it picked me." said M.O.M.
All of them were in shock, but M.O.M didn't hestitate to be embrassed
"But The Center captured him, and 5 years later he escaped, vowing that he will find a mate so he can have a clang of werewolves. But my concern is that he needs to find a girl and bite her anywere so she too can transform." said M.O.M.
"But how do we know that he found someone?" asked Diana.
"We found out that he did attack a girl, but at the moment we lost her trail and we need to find her soon before he does." said M.O.M.
"So we have to go after the werewolf and find the girl?" asked Martin. M.O.M then turned on her hologram computer screen.
"This is were we lost her trail, in the small town up north of Manitoba." said M.O.M.
"Hey that's close to where we first went." said Diana.
"Yeah but! Can't it wait until tomorrow?" asked Martin.
"Permission Granted" said M.O.M as she dismissed the agents, but Java was asleep in the chair where he was sitting. They let him sleep the night while Martin and Diana return to their school at 2 in the morning.
But when they return they found Marvin in Martin's room witing for them.
"Marvin! What are you doing in my room?" asked Martin, who looked a bit ticked off.
"Okay here is the deal, there has been something weird going on here." said Marvin.
"You mean besides that you're back in our school?" said Martin.
"Oh give it a rest Martin! What do you mean by weird?" Diana asked Marvin.
"For the past hour there has been non stop howling going on, but then it stopped...just when Rose left the school." said Marvin.
"WHAT! Why didn't you go after her?" said Martin as he grabbed him by his shirt.
"She did leave but she came back 20 minutes ago.." said Marvin
