"These monsters are dang elusive!" declared General Warren R. Monger, commander of Area Fifty-Something, as he looked over the stack of files on the table. "Bigfeet, werewolves, water monsters, even a few reports of vampires, but we've never caught 'em! Always vanished by the time we get there!"
"Well, how did you track us down, and Man-beast?" Link asked, looking at the stack of files.
"Wouldn't you just like to know!" hissed Monger.
"Yeah, I would," the fishman answered quietly. Suddenly lights began flashing, signaling someone was approaching the base. Team Monster filed outside to confront the stranger.
A uniformed soldier stopped his motorcycle in front of them, shouldering a heavy bag and taking off his helmet. He was a handsome, dark-skinned African American with hazel eyes and a deep frown on his face. "I'd like to talk to you people," he said simply.
Inside, the soldier introduced himself to Monger as Private Hunter Eagleton, still frowning. "And what do you think you're doing unauthorized in my base, Private!" yelled the general.
"Sir, I come from a long line of monster defenders. An ancestor of mine was an escaped slave. He got lost in the woods and was rescued by some Bigfeet. He and his descendants made it their life mission to protect monsters from humans, including the monster-hunters from Area Fifty-Something."
"So that's why we could never find 'em?"
"Correct. Lately though, sir, some of my friends have disappeared. I suspected you had captured them."
"Sorry, Private, your friends ain't here. We can help find 'em, though."
Private Eagleton emptied his bag onto the table, revealing files on a Bigfoot, a Bogeyman, four werewolves, the Jersey Devil, a Thunderbird, a Quetzalcoatl, a Siren, and a blobby monster similar to B.O.B. "These monsters have all been reported missing without a trace," the private was interrupted by his ringing phone. "Yes?" he answered it. He was quiet for a moment before lowering the phone from his ear, "I've just been informed a vampire and an alien have also gone missing."
"VAMPIRE!" squealed Link, hopping into Dr. Cockroach's arms.
"The vampire's pet chupacabra is being sent to this location. He'll be able to track his mistress down."
A few hours later, a coyote-like creature appeared outside the base. Eagleton and Team Monster piled in a jeep and followed after the chupacabra, the general and his men following behind. The dog led them to a forest, eventually stopping to sniff the ground. The monsters and soldier got out of the jeep to follow. "Where's she, Chewie?" Eagleton murmured softly, walking close behind the dog-like monster. Chewie stopped sniffing when he came to a mound with a metal door in it, pawing and whimpering at the door.
"Okay, team," Susan grew to her full height, "It's go time!"
